Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention is applicable to construction, etc. placed on a panel by specifying measurement content and inputting coordinate values of coordinate points using a coordinate input means such as a digitizer. The present invention relates to a drawing measurement calculation processing device that coordinates length, area, volume, etc. from a drawing.

[Conventional technology]

In tasks such as work estimates and material estimates at construction sites, there is work to determine length, area, and volume from drawings. This kind of work is carried out not only at construction sites but also during surveying. Traditionally, it has been common to use a triangular scale or planimeter for this type of work, but from a labor-saving perspective, digitizers have been used in some cases. The large machine software and PC used
Software has also been developed, and some systems have appeared that allow numerical information to be entered from a keyboard and the subsequent calculations to be mechanized (computerized).

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, since the latter device combines a personal computer with a digitizer, the input processing from the keyboard and the input processing from the digitizer are combined, and it is not configured as a general and easy-to-use device. Further, the device also has problems such as being large, not easy to carry, and expensive.

The present invention is based on the above considerations, and
The object of the present invention is to provide a drawing measurement calculation processing device that is easy to operate and can be configured compactly.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

To this end, the drawing measurement calculation processing device of the present invention attaches a menu sheet to the panel of the coordinate input means, defines key information for calculation processing on the menu sheet in correspondence with coordinate values, and then loads the drawing. It is a drawing measurement calculation processing device that measures the length, area, etc. of a drawing by inputting coordinates, and is installed side by side with the panel of the coordinate input means, and is used to input coordinate values from key information or any arbitrary position on the drawing. an arithmetic processing means that performs predetermined arithmetic processing depending on whether the information is a key input or a coordinate input; and an output means that outputs the information input by the coordinate input means and the measurement value calculated by the arithmetic processing means. In addition to making it possible to change the correspondence between key information and coordinate values and the definition of key information, there is also a scale key that allows setting the scale by specifying the key information by inputting numerical values on the numeric keypad or by inputting coordinates on the drawing, It is characterized by setting a reading format key to set whether coordinate values are input as a point or as a continuous line input, and configured to measure the length and area of drawings including curves by converting them to a specified scale, and , the information attached with the identification code is edited and output for each identification code.

[Effect]

In the drawing measurement calculation processing device of the present invention, the drawing is placed on the panel of the coordinate input means, information specifying the content of calculation in a specific area and other key information are inputted, and the desired drawing of the drawing to be measured is inputted. By inputting a point, the arithmetic processing means analyzes the contents of the key information from the coordinate values, and measures the length, area, etc. from the input coordinate values of the desired point on the drawing. Therefore, desired measurements can be performed by inputting coordinate values from the panel of the coordinate input means. Furthermore, the measurement contents can be flexibly handled by changing the correspondence between key information and coordinate values in the arithmetic processing means and by changing the definition of the key information. Furthermore, since it has an editing function, edited measurement value data is output by inputting an identification code.

FIG. 4, which is a diagram showing an example of a sheet, is a diagram for explaining a specific example of input processing. In the figure, 1 is a coordinate input means, 2 is a menu sheet, 3 is an arithmetic processing means, 4 is a display means, 5 is a print output means, 11 is an input section, 12 is an analysis control section, 13 is a length measurement section, 14 15 is an area measurement section, 15 is an arithmetic operation section, 16 is an output control section, 17
18 indicates a display section, and 18 indicates a printout section.

In FIG. 1, coordinate input means 1 is a so-called digitizer or tablet that inputs coordinate values on a panel using a stylus pen or cursor, and has a menu sheet 2 pasted on a specific coordinate area on the panel. . The menu sheet 2 includes, for example, a numeric keypad from "0" to "9", "x", "÷", "area", etc., although a specific example will be described later with reference to FIG.
Calculation designation keys such as "length" and "scale 1",
It has a scale designation key such as "Scale 2". The arithmetic processing means 3 reads the coordinate values from the coordinate input means 1 and determines whether or not the coordinate values are in a specific coordinate area (area of menu sheet 2), and if the coordinate values are in the area of menu sheet 2, further calculates the coordinate values. It has a function of recognizing the key information corresponding to the key information and performing the processing defined by the key information, and if the area is outside the area of the menu sheet 2, the coordinate value is recognized as data and taken in as it is. Therefore,
By hitting the menu sheet 2 with the stylus pen, the arithmetic processing means 3 recognizes the key information of the menu sheet 2 from the coordinate values. For example, use a stylus pen to hit the scale designation key to set the scale, hit the calculation designation key to designate area calculation, and then hit the desired points on the drawing placed on the panel in order to process the calculation. Means 3 calculates the area from the coordinate values of the desired range. The display means 4 displays and outputs the input information and calculation results recognized by the arithmetic processing means 3, and the print output means 5 prints out according to the print command.

Note that a program for recognizing the coordinate value area in the arithmetic processing means 3, a program for identifying key information and performing processing corresponding to each key information, etc. are created according to the contents of the menu sheet 2. For example, these programs may be stored in a replaceable memory such as a ROM so that they can be replaced when the menu sheet 2 is replaced, and installed in the arithmetic processing means 3. Alternatively, the arithmetic processing means 3 may have a keyboard. 3 can be used to change the program, and when the menu sheet 2 is replaced, the program can be changed using the keys.

In FIG. 2, a portion consisting of an analysis control section 12, a length measurement section 13, an area measurement section 14, an arithmetic calculation section 15, and an output control section 16 corresponds to the calculation processing means 3 shown in FIG. The analysis control unit 12 has a built-in memory, reads coordinate values from the input unit (coordinate input means) 11, determines whether the coordinate values are in a specific coordinate area (area of menu sheet 2), and processes menu sheet 2.
It performs analysis processing of key input information from , and defines units and scales based on the analyzed results.Furthermore, in the case of specifying a calculation for length measurement, it starts the length measurement section 13 and calculates the area. If a measurement calculation is specified, the area measurement unit 14 is activated, and if the four arithmetic calculations are specified, the four arithmetic calculation unit 15 is activated. The output control section 16 controls output to the display section 17 and print output section 18 in accordance with commands from the analysis control section 12 .

FIG. 3 shows a specific example of the menu sheet. In Figure 3, "Scale 1" is a scale specification key used when the scale is known in advance, such as defining a scale of 1/1000 by inputting 1000 with the numeric keypad, and "Scale 2 ”, when the scale is unknown, enter the coordinates of the start and end points of a certain length (for example, 1000) on the drawing, and calculate the length 1000.
This is a scale specification key that automatically calculates the scale by inputting it using the numeric keypad. "Reading format"
is the key used to set the input method, and each time you input that key, POINT (single),
The STREAM (continuous) specification changes. POINT (single) inputs one point at a time when calculating area or length, whereas STREAM (continuous)
Continuously input (by pressing and moving the stylus pen) when calculating the area or length of a drawing that includes curves. "Unit" is a key for specifying the measurement unit, and each time this key is input, the set unit changes in a predetermined order such as Km→m→cm. "area"
, "Length", and "Angle" are keys to enter when measuring area, length, and angle, respectively, and "Print"
is the key to input when printing the set numbers and measurement results.

In this case, as shown in Figure 4, first enter the data identification code (ID) "A01", then enter the "reading format" and set it to "POINT", and enter the "unit". Set to "m", "Scale 1", "200", "Length"
When inputted, the analysis control unit 12 analyzes these and recognizes that the starting point and ending point of the straight line are inputted, and the length between those points is calculated using the scale in units of m. Therefore, when multiple points (coordinate values) are input in sequence along the wall of the plan view of the building, those coordinate values are sent to the length measuring section 13, and the length between each point (coordinate value) is calculated. is calculated and integrated. Then, after inputting the points necessary to calculate the length of the total wall, output "x", "2.4", and "=", and the total length of the wall is multiplied by the height, and the area of the wall is "52".・2m ² '' can be obtained. In other words, first input the data ID, specify the scale, unit, and calculation, then input the coordinate values and numerical values that are calculation data, and finally input "=". In this case, the input information is sequentially displayed together with the data identification symbol and the measured value on the display section 17, but the print output section 18 displays the "print"
