FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a detailed processing flow in the present embodiment. It is assumed that the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 100 executes the processes shown in each step of the flowchart described below by using the functions of the CAD software 110 or the mobile simulation software 120.

In step S401, the CAD software 110 performs a process of activating in response to an operation by the user via the input device 209.

In step S402, the display device 210 is controlled to display the CAD data (drawing data) indicating the first drawing and the CAD data indicating the second drawing in response to an operation by the user via the input device 209.

The first drawing is, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a two-dimensional drawing showing the first floor of a building. The second drawing is, for example, a two-dimensional drawing showing the second floor of the building as shown in FIG. This two-dimensional drawing is displayed on the same screen. This display can be enlarged or reduced, and a specific part can be zoomed and displayed. FIG. 6 is merely an example for explanation, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The number of drawings may be two or more. The moving object 604 moves toward the destination 603. This destination is set for each drawing. That is, the destination has not yet been set in the second drawing shown in FIG. 6, and the moving object cannot be moved. If you want to move the moving object existing in the second drawing toward the destination 603, you need to set the warp area that allows the moving object to move between the second drawing and the first drawing at an appropriate position. There is. The warp area will be described later.

In step S403, the selection of the first staircase area 601 on the first drawing and the second staircase area 602 on the second drawing displayed in step S402 is received from the user via the input device 209. It should be noted that these staircase areas may be automatically selected without accepting the designation from the user. The first staircase area and the second staircase area are areas set in advance on the drawing, and are objects of the area indicating that the staircase is a staircase.

In step S404, it is determined whether or not the generation instruction of the simulation drawing 701 has been accepted via the input device 209. If it is determined that the generation instruction of the simulation drawing 701 has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S405. If not, it waits until the generation instruction of the simulation drawing 701 is received.

The simulation drawing 701 is a drawing showing a mechanism for connecting floors such as stairs, elevators, and escalators. For example, it is a simulation drawing 701 shown in FIG. 7. When simulating the movement of moving objects (indicating pedestrians) in a building with multiple floors, it is necessary to check the movement status of moving objects on the same floor, and also to check the movement status between each floor. Is also required. For example, depending on the width of the stairs, the user may not be able to move properly. In design drawings, in general, stairs connecting the floors of a building are often not described in the drawings. Therefore, in order to confirm the situation of pedestrians in the mechanism connecting the floors, it is necessary to separately create a drawing of the mechanism connecting the floors (for example, stairs).

In step S405, a simulation drawing generation process is performed. The detailed processing flow of the simulation drawing generation process will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a detailed processing flow of the simulation drawing generation process. It is assumed that the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 100 executes the processes shown in each step of the flowchart described below by using the functions of the CAD software 110 or the mobile simulation software 120.

In step S801, the CAD software 110 requests the movement simulation software 120 to acquire information regarding the simulation drawing 701. At the time of this acquisition request, the information of the first staircase area 601 and the second staircase area 602 whose selection was accepted in step S403 is also transmitted to the movement simulation software 120.

In step S802, a process of activating the movement simulation software 120 is performed in response to an operation by the user via the input device 209.

In step S803, information on the size of each staircase area is calculated based on the information of the first staircase area 601 and the second staircase area 602 transmitted in step S801.

In step S804, it is determined whether or not the sizes of the staircase regions calculated in step S803 match. If the sizes of the staircase areas match, the process proceeds to step S807. If not, the process proceeds to step S805.

In step S805, the display device 210 is controlled to display a designated screen (not shown) on which the size of the simulation drawing 701 can be specified.

In step S806, the size of the simulation drawing 701 of the size specified by the user is specified through the screen of step S805. In this way, when the sizes of the designated staircase areas are different, it is possible to accept the designation of an arbitrary size and specify the simulation drawing 701 of an arbitrary size.

In step S807, a position for creating the simulation drawing 701 is specified (corresponding to the position determining means). As shown in FIG. 7, the position of the simulation drawing 701 is determined based on the positional relationship between the first drawing and the second drawing, that is, the selected first staircase area 601 and the second staircase area 601 are determined. It is desirable to be located between 602. Alternatively, it is desirable to be located between the first drawing and the second drawing. By locating the simulation drawing 701 between the first staircase area 601 and the second staircase area 602 in this way, the user can confirm the movement of the moving object without any load when the simulation is executed. effective.

In step S808, the generation instruction of the simulation drawing 701 is transmitted to the CAD software 110 to the position specified in step S807. The size of the simulation drawing 701 is calculated in step S803 if the size is specified in step S806 if it is NO in the judgment branch of step S804, and if it is YES in the judgment branch in step S804. The generation instruction of the simulation drawing 701 is given with the size of one of the staircase areas.

In step S809, the generation instruction of the simulation drawing 701 transmitted in step S808 is received.

In step S810, the simulation drawing 701 is created with the contents instructed in step S808. For example, the simulation drawing 701 shown in FIG. 7 is generated and displayed on the display device 210.

This completes the description of the detailed processing flow of the simulation drawing generation process shown in FIG.
Returning to the description of FIG.

In step S406, a warp area setting process for setting a warp area for the first drawing, the second drawing, and the simulation drawing 701 is performed (corresponding to the moving area setting means). The detailed processing flow of the warp area setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a detailed processing flow of the warp area setting process. It is assumed that the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 100 executes the processes shown in each step of the flowchart described below by using the functions of the CAD software 110 or the mobile simulation software 120.

In step S901, it is determined whether or not the CAD software 110 has received the warp area setting instruction from the movement simulation software 120. If it is determined that the setting instruction has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S902, and if not, the process proceeds to step S903.

In step S902, the CAD software 110 performs a process of setting the warp area on the drawing in response to an instruction from the movement simulation software 120.

In step S903, it is determined whether or not the CAD software 110 has received the destination setting instruction from the movement simulation software 120. If it is determined that the destination setting instruction has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S904, and if not, the process returns to step S901.

In step S904, the CAD software 110 performs a process of setting the destination on the drawing in response to the destination setting instruction received from the movement simulation software 120.

In step S905, the movement simulation software 120 identifies the simulation drawing 701 and the drawings corresponding to the upper and lower floors thereof. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, the simulation drawings 701, the first drawing, and the second drawing are specified.

In step S906, the movement simulation software 120 identifies the destination 603 in the first drawing corresponding to the drawing on the lower floor.

In step S907, the movement simulation software 120 identifies the first staircase area 601 in the first drawing corresponding to the drawing on the lower floor.

In step S908, the movement simulation software 120 instructs the CAD software 110 to set the first warp area 1004 at a position on the first staircase area 601 specified in step S907. The position on the first staircase area 601 is more preferably a position that is the shortest distance from the destination 603 specified in step S906 to the position of the staircase area specified in step S907. For example, it is the position of the first warp region 1004 shown in FIG. The first warp area 1004 is set on the drawing by the setting instruction in step S908.

In step S909, the movement simulation software 120 is instructed to set the paired (corresponding) second warp area 1003 of the first warp area 1004 set and instructed in step S908 to the corresponding position on the simulation drawing 701. Do. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, since the first warp region 1004 is at the left end of the staircase region, the second warp region 1003 is also set at the corresponding left end.

In step S910, the movement simulation software 120 gives an instruction to the CAD software 110 to set the destination 1005 on the simulation drawing 701. In the present embodiment, the position of the destination 1005 is on the left side of the second warp region 1003 set on, for example, the simulation drawing 701 as shown in FIG. This is because the position of the second warp region is the left end of the simulation drawing 701. That is, the position of the destination set and instructed in step S910 is determined according to the position on the simulation drawing 701 of the second warp region set and instructed in step S909. The first warp area 1004 and the second warp area 1003 include the corresponding transfer ID 504 (same transfer ID 504), and the moving object is connected to the first drawing via the first warp area 1004 and the second warp area 1003. It can be moved to and from the simulation drawing 701.

In step S911, the movement simulation software 120 instructs the CAD software 110 to set the third warp area 1002 on the simulation drawing 701. The third warp region 1002 is a warp region set on the simulation drawing 701. The third warp region 1002 is set at a paired position (opposite side position) of the second warp region 1003. In FIG. 10, since the second warp region 1003 is set at the left end of the simulation drawing 701, the third warp region 1002 is set at the right end of the simulation drawing 701.

In step S912, the movement simulation software 120 CAD gives an instruction to set the fourth warp area 1001 which is a pair of the third warp area 1002 on the second staircase area 602 of the second drawing corresponding to the drawing on the upper floor. Perform for software 110. Since the third warp region 1002 is set at the right end of the simulation drawing 701, the fourth warp region 1001 is also set at the right end of the second staircase region 602. For example, it is set at the position shown in FIG. The third warp area 1002 and the fourth warp area include the corresponding transfer ID 504, and the moving object is connected to the simulation drawings 701 and the second drawing via the third warp area 1002 and the fourth warp area 1001. You can move between.

In step S913, the movement simulation software 120 instructs the destination 1006 to be set on the second drawing. The destination 1006 is instructed to be located on the left side of the fourth warp region 1001. Since the fourth warp area 1001 is set at the right end of the first staircase area 601, it may be set to the left side of the fourth warp area 1001. For example, it is the position shown in FIG.

This is the end of the description of the flowchart shown in FIG. In this way, by setting the warp area on the simulation drawing at a position corresponding to the position on the staircase area, a simulation in which the moving object moves between the first drawing and the second drawing via the simulation drawing 701 can be performed. Since the warp area for execution can be easily set, the time and effort for the user to set can be reduced.
Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG.

In step S407, it is determined whether or not the CAD software 110 has received an instruction from the user to perform a simulation regarding the movement of the moving object.

In step S408, the CAD software 110 instructs the mobile simulation software 120 to execute the simulation process.

In step S409, the movement simulation software 120 performs simulation processing related to the movement of the moving object. The description will be given with reference to FIG. The moving objects present in the second drawing move toward the destination 1006 in the second drawing at their respective velocities 514. As shown in FIG. 10, the moving object reaches the fourth warp region 1001 before reaching the destination 1006. The moving object that has reached the fourth warp area 1001 moves to the position of the third warp area 1002 having the same transfer ID 504 as the fourth warp area 1001. In this way, the moving object moves from the second drawing to the simulation drawing 701. The moving object on the simulation drawing 701 moves toward the destination 1005 on the simulation drawing 701. The moving object reaches the second warp region 1003 before reaching the destination 1005. The moving object that has reached the second warp area 1003 moves to the position of the first warp area 1004 in which the second warp area 1003 and the transfer ID 504 are the same. In this way, the moving object moves from the simulation drawing 701 to the first drawing.

The moving object that has moved to the first drawing via the first warp area 1004 moves toward the destination 603 on the first drawing. In this way, by simulating the movement of moving objects in a building having multiple floors, it is useful to easily perform, for example, the examination of securing an evacuation route or the review of the design. Can be done.

Conventionally, in order to perform this simulation, the user had to create the simulation drawing 701, but the user accepts the selection of the first drawing and the second drawing (preferably, the staircase area on each drawing). As a result, the simulation drawing 701 can be automatically created, which contributes to the improvement of the work efficiency of the user.

Further, by automatically setting a warp area for the moving object to move between the created simulation drawings, it is possible to further improve the work efficiency. When setting the warp area, by setting the warp area at a position corresponding to each drawing, it is possible to provide the user with a natural appearance when the simulation is executed.

This is the end of the description of the processing contents in the first embodiment.

<Second embodiment>
In the first embodiment, the position and size of the created simulation drawings to be displayed are determined based on the information of the selected first drawing and the second drawing (information of the stairs area on each drawing).

In the second embodiment, the process of determining the length of the simulation drawing is performed based on the height information which is the height information between the floors between the first drawing and the second drawing. The description of the portion having the same processing as that of the first embodiment will be omitted, and only the portion having different processing will be described.

The second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that the system configuration, the hardware configuration, the functional configuration, each data table, and the like are the same. The flowchart of FIG. 8 of the first embodiment is changed to the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a detailed processing flow of the simulation drawing generation processing in the second embodiment. The description of the portion where the processing is the same as that of the first embodiment will be omitted, and only the portion where the processing is different from that of the first embodiment will be described.

Since the processing from step S801 to step S802 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

In step S1201, the movement simulation software 120 performs a process of acquiring the information of the first drawing and the second drawing transmitted in step S801.

In step S1202, the movement simulation software 120 uses the height information (information on the height difference) which is the height information between the floors of each drawing based on the information of the first drawing and the second drawing acquired in step S1201. To get. The height information may be read out from the external memory 211 or the like in advance, or may be obtained by calculation based on the first drawing and the second drawing.

In step S1203, the movement simulation software 120 determines the size (length) of the simulation drawing corresponding to the height information acquired in step S1202. The simulation drawing size table 1300 as shown in FIG. 13 is stored in the external memory 211, and the size of the simulation drawing is determined by using the simulation drawing size table 1300. The simulation drawing size table 1300 is a table in which the height information 1301 and the length 1302 are associated with each other.

For example, using the table of FIG. 13 as an example, if the height information specified in step S1202 is 3 meters, the corresponding length 1302 can be determined to be "7 meters". If the height information identified is 7 meters, the corresponding length 1302 can be determined as 12 meters. If the height information identified is 13 meters, the corresponding length 1302 can be determined as 15 meters. Note that this data table is an example, and the length of the simulation drawing may be obtained by multiplying the height information by a coefficient. By multiplying the coefficients, there is an effect that the length of the simulation drawing can be obtained more accurately.

In step S808, the movement simulation software 120 instructs the CAD software 110 to generate a simulation drawing of the size (length) determined in step S1203.

Since the contents of the processes in steps S809 and S810 are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the size of the simulation drawing can be determined based on the height information between the floors shown by the first drawing and the second drawing. Therefore, the simulation drawing having an appropriate size can be obtained. There is an effect that can be easily created.
