Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facility that spreads on a plane and is arranged in a tree structure, and a facility for graphically displaying, printing, and outputting the connection relation thereof. It relates to an information processing method. [0002] Distribution networks, gas and water pipe networks, railway networks,
Information on equipment located in a wide area, such as a river / road network, classifies each equipment and manages data for each classification to which each equipment belongs. For example, in a distribution system, data management is performed by classifying a distribution line as a unit of power supply from a distribution substation. [0003] In such a classification of equipment, it is easier to associate the equipment such as the connection status of various equipment by classifying the equipment in a visually recognizable manner, such as a drawing or a CRT display, than in the table format. The following method is used to classify the visualized equipment information. [0004] (1) A person manually determines the arrangement of the equipment while conscious of the visualization of the equipment. (2) The equipment is automatically arranged partially based on the data on the connection relation of the equipment. [0006] For example, in each facility of the distribution system network, an enormous amount of facilities are laid in a vast area and are continuous in area. In addition, these facilities are classified in units called distribution lines, which mean routes for supplying electric power. For this reason, each distribution line also has a vast area and a large number of facilities. In many cases, the laying status of the equipment belonging to each distribution line unit is expressed as a graphic that is easily recognizable, including the connection status thereof, and is operated. In this case, it takes a lot of effort and time for a person to examine and classify the arrangement including the connection relation. Further, since the size of the layout output medium (print paper or CRT display screen) is finite, unless the equipment is efficiently arranged, the output information cannot be accommodated in the output medium, and a plurality of output information are required. Spans multiple pages (multiple screens)
It's hard to see, manage, and manage. [0010] In particular, in the case of automatically arranging the equipment partially based on the connection-related data, the manual work is reduced, but the arrangement of the equipment is likely to be coarse, and it is difficult to appropriately arrange and represent the equipment. An object of the present invention is a facility information processing method for graphically outputting a tree-structured facility and its connection relationship.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an equipment information processing method for automatically and compactly arranging equipment arrangements and facilitating grasp of connection relationships. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an equipment information processing method which spreads out on a plane and is arranged in a tree structure, and a graphic representation of the connection relation thereof for display / printout.

Each of these devices is configured as a computer so that necessary data can be transferred to each other. The automatic arrangement processing of the equipment information by the processing device 1 is performed on condition that the connection of the equipment is in a tree structure, and FIG. 2 shows an example of a tree structure corresponding to a distribution network. In this system network, the processing device 1 treats switches indicated by switch numbers A1 to A4 as branches and distribution line sections connecting switches indicated by automatic section numbers B1 to B5 as nodes. Using these branches and nodes, the processing apparatus 1 creates a tree configuration diagram corresponding to the distribution network, as illustrated in FIG. In addition, a data table indicating a connection relationship between the node and the branch is created. The following table shows an example of this data table. [Table 1] As shown in FIG. 4, the processing by the processing device 1 includes an automatic section configuration table creation processing S1, an automatic section arrangement table creation processing S2, and an arrangement compression processing S3.
And output processing S4 for display or printing. Less than,
Each process will be described in detail. (1) Automatic section configuration table creation processing (S1). An automatic section configuration is created and stored as table data based on a data table indicating a connection relationship between nodes and branches. As shown in FIG. 5, in the automatic section configuration table, each data # 1 to #n includes a configuration and an arrangement of an automatic section for each node such as a processing flag and an automatic section number, and a parent-child relationship between adjacent automatic sections. Are provided as table elements. These table elements will be described below using the distribution system of FIG. 6 as an example. The processing flag describes the processing status of the automatic section configuration with numerical values 0 to 3, where 0 indicates no data, 1 indicates that the child section has not been searched, 2 indicates that the child section has been searched, and 3 indicates that the sorting has been completed. The automatic section number describes the number to which the own section number is assigned. In FIG. 6, the automatic section numbers are A to M. The power-supply-side switch number describes a switch number on the power supply side when viewed from each automatic section. In FIG. 6, the power supply-side switch number a of the automatic section number A and the power supply-side switch number b of the section number B are used. When the power distribution system configuration is changed, the number of the switch receiving power supply is used. The row number and column number of the layout position describe the layout position of the automatic section according to the system diagram. This location is
This is an entry for creating an automatic section arrangement table. Hierarchical levels are defined such that the upstream side of the system is
As the hierarchy, the depth of the hierarchy is described numerically for each automatic section. In FIG. 6, the automatic section A is at hierarchical level 1 (shallow level), and the automatic sections B, E, and H are at hierarchical level 2 (deep level). As the depth and width of the child group, the maximum depth and width when the relevant section is set as a parent section and its lower section (child section) is regarded as one unit are described. In FIG.
Sections E to G which are child groups of the automatic section A have a depth of 3 and a width of 2. This data is used when sorting the automatic section configuration data. The parent data position describes the position of the automatic section configuration data of the parent section when viewed from the automatic section. In FIG. 6, in the case of the automatic section B, the parent section A becomes the table data number # 1 to be stored. The number of all child sections describes the number of all child sections lower than the automatic section. In FIG. 6, the numerical value of the three child sections K, L, and M of the automatic section J is 3. The number of child sections describes the number of child sections immediately below the automatic section. In FIG. 6, the value is 2 for the two child sections K and L of the automatic section J. The child data positions # 1 to #n describe table data numbers # 1 to #n in which data of a lower child section as viewed from the section concerned is stored. In the process of creating the automatic section configuration table provided with the above items, the automatic section configuration table is created sequentially from the upper section of the distribution system. This creation process will be described with reference to the power distribution system in FIG. (A) Creation of first automatic section configuration data: An automatic section number is obtained from a first section number connected to a feeder circuit breaker which is the highest switch of the distribution system, and an automatic section configuration table (see FIG. 5). ) First automatic section configuration data # 1
Generate In FIG. 6, the automatic section number A becomes the first automatic section, and data # 1 of this automatic section number A is generated.
This data generation is executed only for the automatic section number A because the lower-level automatic section configuration data is not generated, and is as shown in the following table. In the table, the own section number indicates the automatic section number, the switching number indicates the power supply-side switch number, the hierarchical level indicates the hierarchical level, and the parent position indicates the parent data position. Also,
The opening / closing arrangement position and the like are generated by a later process of creating an automatic section arrangement table, and are omitted. [Table 2] (B) Creation after the second automatic section configuration data: Search from the first data # 1 to the last data #n of the automatic section configuration table, and select the section configuration data whose processing flag is "1: child not searched". Generate. In this generation, the following procedure is repeated, and all the processing flags of the section configuration data are set to “2:
Continue until child search completed. (B ₁ ) Obtain a list of automatic section numbers and a list of switch numbers on the load side of the automatic section from the tree configuration data. (B ₂ ) When there is an automatic section on the load side, the acquired section configuration data of the automatic section is sequentially set from the head of the free area of the automatic section configuration table. At this time, the processing flag is set to “1: child not searched”. Also, “2: child search completed” is set in the processing flag of the automatic section. (B ₃ ) If there is no automatic section on the load side, the processing flag of the automatic section is set to “2: child searched”. In FIG. 6, such data is created first by setting the load-side automatic section number B,
E and H are acquired (b ₁ ), and the automatic section configuration data # 2 to #
4 is set (b ₂ ). The automatic section configuration table after the data setting is shown in the following table. For the data of the automatic section number A, the processing flag is set to “2: child searched”, and the number and position of the child sections are also set. In addition, other automatic section numbers B, E, H
, The processing flag is set to “1: child not searched”, and the data position “1” of the parent data position of the automatic section number A is set. [Table 3] Thereafter, the same processing is performed for the automatic section numbers B, E, and H whose processing flags are "1: child not searched", and the processing is repeated for the other automatic section numbers C to M. Are repeated until “2: child search completed”. The following table shows the data structure of the result of processing up to the automatic section number M. [Table 4] (C) Setting of child group depth: The automatic section configuration table is searched from the last data to the first data, and the depth of the hierarchy in the child group is set. This depth is “1” when the number of child sections is 0, “depth of child section + 1” when the number of child sections is 1, and “maximum of child sections” when the number of child sections is 2 or more. Depth +1 ". (D) Setting of the number of all child sections: The automatic section configuration table is searched from the last data to the head, and the total number of child sections +
It is obtained by sequentially adding 1 to the number of all child sections of the parent section. (2) Sorting of automatic section configuration table (S
1). After the generation of the table data according to the above (1), the child groups are sorted in descending order of depth. That is, the automatic section configuration table is searched from the top, and for section configuration data having two or more child sections, the child sections are sorted in descending order of child group depth. If there are a plurality of child sections having the same child group depth, the child sections are sorted in ascending order of the total number of child sections. The sorting is performed by rearranging the storage order of the child data positions of the section configuration data. The following table shows the sorting result of the automatic section configuration table. [Table 5] (3) Automatic section layout table creation processing (S2). The automatic section arrangement is created and stored as table data based on the tree structure of the sorted automatic section configuration table. In this automatic section arrangement table, as shown in FIG. 7, data of a tree structure of each automatic section configuration table is set by row and column numbers. This arrangement table is used as compression processing of automatic section arrangement and automatic section arrangement data at the time of display / print output. FIG. 7 shows an arrangement table of the system shown in FIG. 8 indicate the order in which the section arrangement data is developed, and are arranged in the order of sections arranged in the row direction. The setting values 0 to 0 are entries in the automatic section configuration table. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 7, -1 to -3 are distinguished by the branch structure of the distribution line. Also, the normally open switches are arranged so as to be one per line. (4) Arrangement compression processing (S3). Based on the automatic section arrangement table, a search for a section to be compressed, a search for a blank area, a search for a movable child section, and a rearrangement of child sections are performed to compress the automatic section arrangement. In the search of the compression target section, the automatic section arrangement table is searched from the top, and a section having two or more child sections (a section having a branch) is obtained. In FIG. 7, section numbers A, J, and E
become. In the search for a blank area, a search is made on a line-by-line basis between the row of the first child section and the row of the last child section of the searched compression target section to check for the presence or absence of a blank area. In FIG. 7, blank areas are examined between the section numbers H and B, E and J and D. In the search for a movable child section, it is determined whether there is a child section arranged after the line of the blank area when the blank area exists, and whether the depth of the child section is the same as the depth of the blank area. , A child section that can be moved when the condition of being smaller is satisfied. In FIG. 7, it is determined that the section numbers E, F, and G can be moved to the blank area on the second line. In the state of FIG. 9A, which is a simplified version of FIG. 8, a child section that can be moved to the blank area is searched for, and the child section Y becomes a child section that can be moved to the blank area. The rearrangement of the child sections is performed in the movable child section Y.
If found, move the child section to the blank area. If there is another child section (related moving child section) X between the blank area and the child section, and the width of the child section X is larger than the width of the blank area, the child moving the related moving child section X is possible. Move behind section Y. The movement of the movable child section Y is performed by
Is deleted from the automatic section arrangement table, the difference between the child section Y and the line number of the blank area is obtained, this difference is subtracted from the arrangement line number of the child section Y, and the child section Y is stored in the automatic section arrangement table. Rearrange it. As shown in FIG. 9 (b), the movement in the case where there is the related moving child section X is performed by moving the child section X downward by the difference between the child section Y and the blank area width. ', And thereafter, as shown in FIG.
To move. The automatic section configuration table and the arrangement table are changed in accordance with the rearrangement of the child sections Y and the movement of X. FIG. 9D shows a case where the rearrangement is impossible. Since the maximum depth of the child section Y is greater than the depth of the blank area, the child section Y is not moved. (5) Output processing (S4). By the above-described processes S1 to S3, the equipment and the connection relationship are graphically arranged by the arrangement according to the data of the automatic section configuration table and the automatic section arrangement table determined by the arrangement and compression of each automatic section. This graphic is displayed on a CRT or the like or printed out on a printer or the like. In this embodiment, the node is described as an automatic section in order to be applied to the power distribution system. However, when the present invention is applied to a water pipe network, the automatic section is defined as a node, and the automatic section configuration table is defined as a node configuration table. By treating the automatic section arrangement table as a node arrangement table, it can be applied to other system networks. As described above, according to the present invention, a node configuration table having, as table elements, the configuration and arrangement position of each node and a parent-child relationship with an adjacent node, and the like. In order to automatically determine the equipment arrangement by the node arrangement table that is set by the row and column number that distinguishes the arrangement of the nodes by the branch structure, the burden is significantly reduced compared to manual work and the connection of equipment You can grasp the situation accurately and quickly. Further, according to the present invention, the equipment can be efficiently and automatically arranged by the arrangement compression processing, the equipment information can be made compact, and the management becomes easy.
