[0016]
== Business category ==
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the nature of a task with two coordinate axes (this diagram is hereinafter referred to as a task classification coordinate diagram). In FIG. 1, the horizontal axis indicates whether the work is performed by a team (TEAM) or an individual (INDIVIDUAL), and the tendency to be performed by a team is stronger as it goes to the right in the figure. The vertical axis indicates whether the business is creative (CREATIVE) or routine (ROUTINE), and indicates that the business is more creative as it goes up in the figure. In the present embodiment, business properties are classified into the following four categories based on these two coordinate axes.
[0017]
(1) Collaboration: Corresponding to the first quadrant (I) of the work classification coordinate diagram, it is a creative work (for example, design work) performed by a team.
(2) Communication: Corresponding to the second quadrant (II) of the work classification coordinate map, it is a routine work (for example, a liaison meeting) performed by a team.
(3) Support: This corresponds to the third quadrant (III) of the work classification coordinate map, and is a routine work (for example, copy work) performed by an individual.
(4) Concentration: Corresponding to the fourth quadrant (IV) of the work classification coordinate map, it is a creative work (for example, research) performed by an individual.
[0018]
Next, the structure of the database in the system of this embodiment will be described. In the database, model data of offices corresponding to each of the above 10 types of styles is recorded. FIG. 2 shows model data of “Island Office” as an example of model data. As shown in FIG. 2, the model data includes “Collaboration”, “Communication”, “Concentration”, “Support” business categories and “Circulation”. Area ratio and the occupied area per seat. Note that the office areas where “Collaboration” and “Communication” operations are carried out include areas dedicated to each individual and areas shared among individuals. The area allocation ratio to the shared area is also included in the model data.
[0019]
The model data for “Island Office” shown in FIG. 2 has an area ratio of 44% (including 31% for the exclusive area and 13% for the common area). The area ratio of office areas where “dialogue” work is performed is 19% (of which 1% is dedicated area and 18% is shared area), and the area ratio of office area where “concentrated” work is performed is 0% , Meaning that the area ratio of the office area where the work of the category “Assistance” is performed is 12%, the area ratio of the “passage” is 25%, and the occupied area per seat is 11 m ^2. Yes.
[0020]
The model data described above is obtained by analyzing the latest model office that actually exists. In other words, after classifying various model offices into office styles such as “Island Office” and “Cluster Office”, it is determined which business category each office area belongs to, and for each category. The model data as shown in FIG. 2 was obtained by calculating the area ratio.
[0021]
FIG. 3 shows an example of a diagram used to assist such office analysis work. The diagram shown in FIG. 3 shows a desk layout suitable for the nature of the work on the work classification work diagram at the coordinate position corresponding to the nature of the work. In FIG. 3, “None”, “High”, and “Low” indicate the presence / absence of a partition and the height. When analyzing a model office, it is easy to determine which business category each office area belongs to by comparing the desk layout of each area displayed in the layout diagram with the diagram shown in Fig. 3. can do.
[0022]
The database stores data related to the layout configuration of the model office that is the basis of each model data, image data representing a photograph of the model office, and the like. As will be described later, in the system of this embodiment, the user can select the predetermined menu to display the layout configuration and appearance photograph of the model office on the screen.
[0023]
Next, the hardware configuration of the office design support system of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of the office design support system of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the system of the present embodiment is configured by a computer 10 such as a personal computer. The computer 10 includes an external storage device 12 such as a hard disk device and a recording medium drive device 14 such as a CD drive device. The external storage device 12 and the recording medium drive device 14 may be built in the computer main body. The external storage device 12 stores a computer program (hereinafter referred to as a design support program) for realizing the office design support system on the computer 10, and the above-described database is constructed. These design support programs and databases are supplied in a state of being recorded on a recording medium 16 such as a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM, and are installed in the external storage device 12 via the recording medium drive device 14.
[0024]
As will be described later, an embodiment in which the database is constructed on the server computer 18, calculation processing by the design support program is also performed by the server computer 18, and only data input / output is performed by the computer 10 is also possible. Assuming such an aspect, FIG. 4 shows a state where the computer 10 is connected to the server computer 20 via a computer network 18 such as the Internet.
[0025]
Next, specific processing contents of the design support program will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the design support program. As shown in FIG. 5, when the design support program is started, an initial screen is first displayed on the screen of the computer 10 (S100). On the initial screen, several menu buttons including “Case Study” and “Simulation” are displayed. The “case study” button is a button for displaying the layout configuration and appearance photograph of the model office, and the “simulation” button is a button for performing a simulation calculation of the office area from the office style and the number of people.
[0026]
When the “case study” button is clicked on the initial screen, a list of model offices recorded in the database is displayed (S102). When the user selects any model office from the list, model data corresponding to the selected model office is read from the database, and a screen including the model office layout (referred to as a model office display screen). ) Is displayed (S104).
[0027]
FIG. 6 shows an example of the model office display screen. As shown in FIG. 6, the above-described business classification coordinate map is displayed on the screen together with the layout diagram of the model office. Each area on the layout diagram is given a name (design workplace, sales workplace, copy, meeting corner, conference room, exchange plaza, etc.) according to the work performed there. Each of these names is plotted. When the user moves the cursor on the job classification coordinate diagram, the office area having the name corresponding to the cursor position is highlighted on the layout diagram. In FIG. 6, for example, the cursor is placed on the “sales office workplace” (the sales office workplace is equivalent to “dialogue” in the business category and is plotted in the second quadrant) on the business classification coordinate diagram, In the layout diagram, an area corresponding to this “sales office place” is highlighted (indicated by a diagonal line).
[0028]
On the model office display screen, office photos and other supplementary information can be displayed by scrolling the screen or moving pages as appropriate. Further, when the “model selection” button included in the model office display screen is clicked, the model office list display screen is displayed again, and when the “initial screen” button is clicked, the initial screen is displayed again.
[0029]
As described above, by selecting the “case study” menu, the user can grasp a specific image of the office of each office style.
[0030]
On the other hand, when the “simulation” button is clicked on the initial screen, a simulation sheet for inputting parameters for simulation calculation and outputting calculation results is displayed (S106). A “start” button and an “initial screen” button are displayed on the screen together with the simulation sheet.
[0031]
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the simulation sheet 50. As shown in FIG. 7, the simulation sheet 50 is roughly divided into a parameter input field 52 and a calculation result output field 54. The parameter input field 52 includes a style ratio input field 56 for inputting the composition ratios of ten types of office styles in percentage and a number input field 58 for inputting the total number of employees in the office. The calculation result output field 54 includes the number of employees / seat output field 60 in which the number of employees and the number of seats in each office style are output, and the area of each office style in each business category and “Circulation”. There is an area output column 62 output together with the breakdown. For “Collaboration” and “Communication”, the area allocation to the exclusive / shared area is also displayed.
[0032]
After the office style composition ratio and the number of employees are entered in each parameter input field 52 of the simulation sheet 50 (S108), when the “Start” button is clicked, the calculation process of the office area is started. In this calculation process, first, the number of employees in each office style is calculated by multiplying the number of employees input in the number of people input field 58 by the composition ratio of each office style, and given in advance for each office style. The number of seats is calculated by multiplying the number of employees by the obtained coefficient, and these calculation results are output to the number of persons / seat output column 60 (S110).
[0033]
Next, for each office style, the area per seat, the area ratio of each business category and the ratio of exclusive / shared are read from the database. For each office style, the area is calculated by multiplying the number of seats by the area per seat, and by multiplying this area by the area ratio of each business category and the ratio of exclusive / shared, the area of each business category is calculated. Are calculated together with the breakdown to the exclusive / shared area, and the calculation results are output to the area output column 62 (S112).
[0034]
Note that after executing the simulation calculation, by changing the input parameter value and clicking the “start” button, the simulation calculation can be performed again based on the changed input parameter value. On the other hand, when the “initial screen” button included in the display screen of the simulation sheet 50 is clicked, the above-described initial screen is displayed.
[0035]
As described above, according to the system of the present embodiment, the required area of the office is calculated and displayed on the screen simply by inputting the desired office style composition ratio and the number of employees. For this reason, the approximate value of the office area can be estimated without requiring detailed information such as the organization information of the company that is the owner as in the conventional office design method. In addition, since the breakdown of the office area into each business category is displayed, there is an advantage that it is easy to obtain an image of the office. In addition, the 10 types of office styles were obtained through analytical research on the latest offices, and by performing calculations based on these office styles, office designs corresponding to the new generation of offices can be created. It can be carried out.
[0036]
In addition, if the composition ratio of each office style and the number of employees are input, the office area is output instantaneously, so that when the owner's request changes, the change can be dealt with immediately. Furthermore, for example, when an upper limit is imposed on the office area, or when there is a desired condition for area allocation to each business category, it is repeated while changing the input value until these conditions are satisfied. By performing the calculation, it is possible to obtain an optimal office style composition ratio and the number of employees. In other words, not only the office floor area is obtained as a condition given the composition ratio of the office style and the number of employees, but the composition ratio of the office style is determined as a condition given the office area and the number of employees for each business category. It is also possible to obtain the number of employees as a condition given the office area for each business category and the composition ratio of the office style.
[0037]
In this case, the computer program calculates the office ratio from the office area and the number of employees for each business category, or calculates the number of employees from the office area and the office style ratio for each business category. It can also be done automatically. That is, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, the office area for each business category and the number of employees are input in S108, and the composition ratio of the office style is calculated and output in S112. Alternatively, the office for each business category in S108. By inputting the area and the composition ratio of the office style, the number of seats is calculated in S112, and the number of employees is calculated from the number of seats calculated in reverse to step S110 (the process of S110 is omitted). The above calculation can be performed automatically.
[0038]
In the above embodiment, the office area simulation calculation is executed on a single computer. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, on the server computer 20 connected to the computer network 18 such as the Internet in FIG. The above database is constructed, and the same simulation calculation as the above design support program is performed based on the values of the input parameters inputted and transmitted by the user terminal (for example, the computer 10) accessing the server computer 20, and The calculation result may be returned to the user terminal.
[0039]
In the above embodiment, model data corresponding to each office style is determined in advance. However, a plurality of model data is stored in the database for each office style, and the user can select desired model data. May be selected.
[0040]
【The invention's effect】
According to the inventions of claims 1, 2, 4, and 5, without requiring detailed company information such as organization information, the composition ratio of desired office style, the number of employees, and each business category By inputting data relating to two of the three parameters of the area composition ratio, the other one can be calculated and the result can be output. In this case, even if the required conditions are changed, by changing the value of the input parameter and recalculating, an output result corresponding to the changed required conditions can be obtained. It can respond quickly.
[0041]
According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to design an office that can correspond to a new generation office reflecting the latest office analysis research result.
