The attribute information screen 110 is a screen that can be operated by the user. For example, the attribute information screen 110 is displayed when the lighting apparatus 102 is selected in the layout image 100 illustrated in FIG. 2. In the present embodiment, the user includes not only an end user (for example, a resident) of a building but also a person who has a relationship with the building such as a building installer and a manager.
　属性情報画面１１０には、図３に示すように、選択された設備１１の名称を示す名称１１１、及び、選択された設備の取り付け位置などのパラメータ１１２と、パラメータ１１２に対応する値１１３とが含まれる。 As shown in FIG. 3, the attribute information screen 110 includes a name 111 indicating the name of the selected equipment 11, a parameter 112 such as the installation position of the selected equipment, and a value 113 corresponding to the parameter 112. included.

In the present embodiment, the screen information further includes control information used for controlling a specific facility. Details of the screen information will be described later with reference to FIG.
　抽出部２３は、特定の設備を制御するために必要な情報をＢＩＭデータ２２から抽出する。特定の設備は、例えば、建築物に含まれる１以上の設備の中からユーザが指定した設備である。例えば、特定の設備は、制御対象の設備（機器）である。あるいは、特定の設備は、建築物に含まれる１以上の設備の中からコンピュータが自動的に選択した設備でもよい。例えば、特定の設備は、当該設備の制御に用いる画面情報がまだ作成されていない設備である。本実施の形態では、特定の設備が照明器具１０２である例について説明する。 The extraction unit 23 extracts information necessary for controlling a specific facility from the BIM data 22. The specific facility is, for example, a facility designated by the user from one or more facilities included in the building. For example, the specific facility is a facility (device) to be controlled. Alternatively, the specific facility may be a facility automatically selected by the computer from one or more facilities included in the building. For example, a specific facility is a facility for which screen information used for controlling the facility has not yet been created. In this embodiment, an example in which specific equipment is the lighting fixture 102 will be described.
　具体的には、抽出部２３は、ＢＩＭデータ２２を参照することで、設備情報を抽出する。抽出した設備情報には、照明器具１０２の機能（例えば、調光及び調色など）を示す情報、並びに、アドレス情報及びグループ情報などが含まれる。 Specifically, the extraction unit 23 extracts facility information by referring to the BIM data 22.

And the actual equipment 11 (corresponding to the address). The associating unit 24 associates addresses, so that when an object associated with control information is operated, the facility 11 to which the address associated with the object is assigned can be controlled.
　なお、アドレスは、建築物に設置される１以上の設備１１の各々に固有に割り当てられた識別情報である。当該識別情報は、ユーザが各々の設備１１に個別に割り当ててもよく、コンピュータ機器が自動的に割り当ててもよい。 The address is identification information uniquely assigned to each of the one or more facilities 11 installed in the building. The identification information may be assigned individually by the user to each facility 11 or may be automatically assigned by a computer device.
　グループ化部２５は、複数の設備１１の各々に割り当てられたオブジェクトのグループ化を行う。具体的には、グループ化部２５は、複数のオブジェクトを１以上のグループに分ける。１つのグループには、互いに関連させた制御を行わせる複数の設備１１に対応する複数のオブジェクトが含まれる。グループ化の詳細については、図７を用いて後で説明する。 The grouping unit 25 groups the objects assigned to each of the plurality of facilities 11. Specifically, the grouping unit 25 divides a plurality of objects into one or more groups. One group includes a plurality of objects corresponding to a plurality of facilities 11 that perform control related to each other. Details of the grouping will be described later with reference to FIG.
　１つのグループに含まれる複数のオブジェクトに対応する複数の設備１１（すなわち、同一グループに属する設備１１）は、互いに関連して制御される。例えば、同一グループに属する複数の照明器具１０２は、一斉に点灯、一斉に消灯、又は、同じ調光比で調光点灯することができる。あるいは、同一グループに属する複数の照明器具１０２は、所定の照明シーンが設定された場合に、当該照明シーンによって複数の照明器具１０２の各々に割り当てられた調光比及び光色で点灯する。 A plurality of facilities 11 corresponding to a plurality of objects included in one group (that is, facilities 11 belonging to the same group) are controlled in association with each other. For example, a plurality of lighting fixtures 102 belonging to the same group can be turned on all at once, turned off all at once, or dimmed with the same dimming ratio. Alternatively, when a predetermined lighting scene is set, the plurality of lighting fixtures 102 belonging to the same group are turned on with a dimming ratio and a light color assigned to each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 102 according to the lighting scene.
　抽出部２３、関連付け部２４及びグループ化部２５は、例えば、記憶部２１に記憶された制御プログラムを実行するプロセッサなどにより実現されるが、マイクロコンピュータ又は専用回路などにより実現されてもよい。 The extracting unit 23, the associating unit 24, and the grouping unit 25 are realized by, for example, a processor that executes a control program stored in the storage unit 21, but may be realized by a microcomputer or a dedicated circuit.

　制御部４３は、例えば、操作端末４０が備える記憶部（図示せず）に格納された制御プログラムを実行するプロセッサなどにより実現されるが、マイクロコンピュータ又は専用回路などにより実現されてもよい。 The control unit 43 is realized by, for example, a processor that executes a control program stored in a storage unit (not shown) included in the operation terminal 40, but may be realized by a microcomputer or a dedicated circuit.
　［オブジェクト（アイコン画像）］
　ここで、本実施の形態に係る情報作成システム１０において、制御画面に表示されるオブジェクト（具体的には、アイコン画像）と設備１１との対応関係について説明する。 [Object (icon image)]
Here, in the information creation system 10 according to the present embodiment, a correspondence relationship between an object (specifically, an icon image) displayed on the control screen and the equipment 11 will be described.
　図４は、本実施の形態に係る情報作成方法によって作成される制御画面に表示されるオブジェクトと設備１１とを対応付けた対応テーブルを示す図である。図４に示す対応テーブルでは、複数の設備１１の各々に対して、互いに異なる複数のオブジェクトが対応付けられている。 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a correspondence table in which the objects displayed on the control screen created by the information creation method according to the present embodiment and the equipment 11 are associated with each other. In the correspondence table shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of different objects are associated with each of the plurality of facilities 11.
　対応テーブルは、例えば、ＢＩＭデータ２２に含まれている。あるいは、抽出部２３が実行するプログラムが参照可能な記憶部（例えば、記憶部２１）に、ＢＩＭデータ２２とは別に記憶されていてもよい。 The correspondence table is included in the BIM data 22, for example. Alternatively, it may be stored separately from the BIM data 22 in a storage unit (for example, the storage unit 21) to which a program executed by the extraction unit 23 can be referred.
　図４では、設備１１の例として、蛍光灯、ダウンライト、調光調色ランプ及び特殊ランプなどの照明設備、パイプ及びファンなどの空調設備を示している。設備１１の動作状態には、設備１１が停止している停止状態と、設備１１が稼働している稼動状態とが含まれる。 FIG. 4 shows, as an example of the equipment 11, lighting equipment such as fluorescent lamps, downlights, dimming and tonal lamps, and air conditioning equipment such as pipes and fans. The operating state of the facility 11 includes a stopped state where the facility 11 is stopped and an operating state where the facility 11 is operating.
　ここで、設備１１毎に、動作状態に含まれる状態の個数は異なっていてもよい。 Here, the number of states included in the operating state may be different for each facility 11.
　例えば、調光調色ランプの場合、稼働状態が、さらに、調光状態と調色状態とに分けられてもよい。さらに、調光状態は、全点灯状態（調光比が１００％）と、明状態（調光比が５０％以上１００％未満）と、暗状態（調光比が０％より大きく５０％未満）とに分けられてもよい。調色状態は、赤色状態と、緑色状態と、青色状態とに分けられてもよい。稼動状態は、調光状態に含まれる各状態と調色状態に含まれる各状態との組み合わせでもよい。パイプ又はファンなどの空調設備についても同様で、空調設備の稼動状態には、例えば、送風の強度、設定温度などに応じた複数の状態が含まれてもよい。 For example, in the case of a dimming toning lamp, the operating state may be further divided into a dimming state and a toning state. In addition, the dimming state includes the full lighting state (the dimming ratio is 100%), the bright state (the dimming ratio is 50% or more and less than 100%), and the dark state (the dimming ratio is greater than 0% and less than 50%). ). The toning state may be divided into a red state, a green state, and a blue state. The operating state may be a combination of each state included in the dimming state and each state included in the toning state. The same applies to air-conditioning equipment such as pipes or fans, and the operating state of the air-conditioning equipment may include, for example, a plurality of states depending on the intensity of air blow, the set temperature, and the like.
　オブジェクトは、具体的には、アイコン画像である。アイコン画像は、対応する設備１１の制御に用いられる。例えば、アイコン画像は、制御画面２００（図８を参照）に含まれ、ユーザによってアイコン画像が選択した場合に、設備１１の動作状態が変更される。あるいは、アイコン画像が選択された場合に、シーン設定画面２３０（図９を参照）などが表示されて、対応する設備１１に対する各種設定を行うことができる。 The object is specifically an icon image. The icon image is used for controlling the corresponding equipment 11. For example, the icon image is included in the control screen 200 (see FIG. 8), and the operation state of the equipment 11 is changed when the icon image is selected by the user. Alternatively, when an icon image is selected, a scene setting screen 230 (see FIG. 9) or the like is displayed, and various settings for the corresponding equipment 11 can be performed.
　アイコン画像は、対応する設備１１の特徴を模式化した画像である。図４に示すように、同一の設備１１に割り当てられた複数のアイコン画像は、共通部分と、相違部分とが含まれる。 The icon image is a schematic image of the characteristics of the corresponding equipment 11. As shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of icon images assigned to the same equipment 11 includes a common part and a different part.
　共通部分は、設備１１の形状などを模式化した部分であり、アイコン画像の主要な部分である。具体的には、共通部分は、アイコン画像の中央に位置する部分、又は、アイコン画像の半分以上を含む部分などである。 The common part is a part that schematically illustrates the shape of the equipment 11, and is the main part of the icon image. Specifically, the common part is a part located in the center of the icon image or a part including more than half of the icon image.
　相違部分は、共通部分に追加、削除又は改変された部分である。図４に示す蛍光灯又はダウンライトにおける相違部分は、光の照射状態を示す複数の斜線の有無である。調光調色ランプにおける相違部分は、ＲＧＢを表す円領域の色合い（図４では、網掛けで表現している）と、明るさを表すスライダの位置とである。特殊ランプにおける相違部分は、アイコンの全体的な色合いである。パイプ又はファンにおける相違部分は、パイプ又はファンの回転を表す矢印の有無である。 The difference part is the part added, deleted or modified to the common part. The difference between the fluorescent lamp and the downlight shown in FIG. 4 is the presence or absence of a plurality of oblique lines indicating the light irradiation state. Differences in the dimming toning lamp are the color of the circular area representing RGB (represented by shading in FIG. 4) and the position of the slider representing brightness. The difference in special lamps is the overall color of the icon. The difference in the pipe or fan is the presence or absence of an arrow indicating the rotation of the pipe or fan.
　このように、本実施の形態では、複数の設備１１の各々に対して、動作状態に応じた複数のアイコン画像が準備されている。これにより、アイコン画像を見ることで設備１１の種別及びその動作状態を推定することができるので、ユーザによる設備１１の管理及び制御を補助することができる。 Thus, in the present embodiment, a plurality of icon images corresponding to the operating state are prepared for each of the plurality of facilities 11. Thereby, since the classification of the equipment 11 and its operation state can be estimated by looking at the icon image, the management and control of the equipment 11 by the user can be assisted.
　［動作（情報作成方法）］
　続いて、本実施の形態に係る情報作成システム１０の動作（情報作成方法）について、図５を用いて説明する。図５は、本実施の形態に係る情報作成システム１０の動作を示すフローチャートである。なお、本実施の形態に係る情報作成方法は、主として情報作成装置２０が実行する。 [Operation (Information creation method)]
Next, the operation (information creation method) of the information creation system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information creation system 10 according to the present exemplary embodiment. Note that the information creation method according to the present embodiment is mainly executed by the information creation device 20.
　まず、抽出部２３が画面情報を抽出する（Ｓ１０）。本実施の形態では、抽出部２３は、特定の設備１１が設置される空間を表すレイアウト画像と、特定の設備１１を表すオブジェクト（具体的には、アイコン画像）とを含む画面情報を抽出する。 First, the extraction unit 23 extracts screen information (S10). In the present embodiment, the extraction unit 23 extracts screen information including a layout image representing a space where the specific equipment 11 is installed and an object (specifically, an icon image) representing the specific equipment 11. .
　例えば、抽出部２３は、ＢＩＭデータ２２から図２に示すレイアウト画像１００を抽出する。さらに、抽出部２３は、ＢＩＭデータ２２に含まれる、図４に示す対応テーブルから、特定の設備１１に対応するアイコン画像をオブジェクトとして決定する。例えば、抽出部２３は、特定の設備１１の停止状態に対応するアイコン画像を決定する。 For example, the extraction unit 23 extracts the layout image 100 shown in FIG. Further, the extraction unit 23 determines an icon image corresponding to the specific equipment 11 as an object from the correspondence table shown in FIG. 4 included in the BIM data 22. For example, the extraction unit 23 determines an icon image corresponding to the stop state of the specific facility 11.
　次に、関連付け部２４が設備１１とオブジェクト（アイコン画像）との関連付けを行う（Ｓ１２）。本実施の形態では、関連付け部２４は、図６に示すアドレス入力画面１２０を表示部に表示し、ユーザにアドレスを入力させる。アドレス入力画面１２０については、後で詳細に説明する。 Next, the associating unit 24 associates the equipment 11 with the object (icon image) (S12). In the present embodiment, the associating unit 24 displays the address input screen 120 shown in FIG. 6 on the display unit and allows the user to input an address. The address input screen 120 will be described in detail later.
　抽出部２３が抽出したレイアウト画像１００に特定の設備１１が複数含まれている場合、関連付け部２４は、レイアウト画像１００に含まれる全ての設備１１の関連付けを行う。これにより、レイアウト画像１００に含まれる全ての設備１１が管理装置３０によって制御可能になる。 When the layout image 100 extracted by the extraction unit 23 includes a plurality of specific facilities 11, the associating unit 24 associates all the facilities 11 included in the layout image 100. As a result, all the facilities 11 included in the layout image 100 can be controlled by the management device 30.
　次に、グループ化部２５がオブジェクトのグループ化を行う（Ｓ１４）。本実施の形態では、グループ化部２５は、図７に示すグループ化画面１３０を表示部に表示し、ユーザによって、複数の設備１１（照明器具１０２）のグループ化を行う。グループ化画面１３０については、後で詳細に説明する。 Next, the grouping unit 25 groups objects (S14). In this Embodiment, the grouping part 25 displays the grouping screen 130 shown in FIG. 7 on a display part, and groups the some installation 11 (luminaire 102) by a user. The grouping screen 130 will be described in detail later.
　以上のステップを行うことで、複数の設備１１を制御するための制御画面（図８を参照）を表示するための画面情報が作成される。情報作成装置２０が作成した画面情報は、管理装置３０に送信されて、管理装置３０の記憶部３１に制御データ３２として記憶される。その後、例えば、操作端末４０からの指示に基づいて、管理装置３０は、適宜制御データ３２を参照することにより、複数の設備１１の制御を行うことができる。 By performing the above steps, screen information for displaying a control screen (see FIG. 8) for controlling the plurality of facilities 11 is created. The screen information created by the information creation device 20 is transmitted to the management device 30 and stored as control data 32 in the storage unit 31 of the management device 30. Thereafter, for example, based on an instruction from the operation terminal 40, the management apparatus 30 can control the plurality of facilities 11 by referring to the control data 32 as appropriate.
　なお、本実施の形態に係る情報作成方法は、図５に示す例に限らない。例えば、オブジェクトの関連付け（Ｓ１２）及びオブジェクトのグループ化（Ｓ１４）を行った後に、画面情報の抽出（Ｓ１０）を行ってもよい。具体的には、関連付け及びグループ化の結果をＢＩＭデータ２２に入力しておいてもよい。これにより、画面情報を抽出した後の設定作業を簡易化又は省略することができる。 Note that the information creation method according to the present embodiment is not limited to the example shown in FIG. For example, screen information may be extracted (S10) after object association (S12) and object grouping (S14). Specifically, the association and grouping results may be input to the BIM data 22. Thereby, the setting operation after extracting the screen information can be simplified or omitted.
　［アドレス入力画面］
　本実施の形態では、図３に示す複数のパラメータ１１２のうち、アドレスの値１１３の設定を容易にするため、関連付け部２４は、図６に示すアドレス入力画面１２０を生成し、表示部に表示する。ここで、アドレスの値１１３は、設備１１のオブジェクトとアドレスとを関連付けることで設定される。 [Address input screen]
In the present embodiment, in order to facilitate setting of the address value 113 among the plurality of parameters 112 shown in FIG. 3, the associating unit 24 generates the address input screen 120 shown in FIG. 6 and displays it on the display unit. To do. Here, the address value 113 is set by associating the object of the facility 11 with the address.
　図６は、本実施の形態に係る情報作成方法におけるアドレス入力画面１２０の一例を示す図である。アドレス入力画面１２０には、レイアウト画像１００と、設備名１２１とが含まれる。 FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the address input screen 120 in the information creation method according to the present embodiment. The address input screen 120 includes a layout image 100 and an equipment name 121.
　設備名１２１は、例えばドロップダウンリストで示される。ユーザは、ドロップダウンリストの中から特定の設備１１を選択することで、設備名１２１には、選択中の設備１１（ここでは、照明器具１０２）の名称が表示される。 The facility name 121 is indicated by, for example, a drop-down list. The user selects the specific equipment 11 from the drop-down list, and the name of the equipment 11 being selected (here, the lighting fixture 102) is displayed in the equipment name 121.
　図６に示すように、アドレス入力画面１２０には、さらに、選択した設備１１に関連付けられるアドレス１２２と、決定ボタン１２３及びキャンセルボタン１２４とが含まれる。アドレス１２２は、例えばテキストボックスで示される。ユーザは、選択した設備１１に割り当てられたアドレスの値（例えば、“０１２３４”）をテキストボックスに入力する。 As shown in FIG. 6, the address input screen 120 further includes an address 122 associated with the selected equipment 11, a determination button 123, and a cancel button 124. The address 122 is indicated by a text box, for example. The user inputs an address value (for example, “01234”) assigned to the selected equipment 11 in the text box.
　アドレスを入力した後、決定ボタン１２３を押すことで、選択した設備１１のオブジェクトと、アドレスとを関連付けることができる。関連付けられたアドレスの値は、例えば、図３に示す属性情報画面１１０におけるアドレスを示すパラメータ１１２に対応する値１１３として管理される。 After inputting the address, by pressing the decision button 123, the object of the selected equipment 11 can be associated with the address. The associated address value is managed as, for example, a value 113 corresponding to the parameter 112 indicating the address in the attribute information screen 110 shown in FIG.
　なお、アドレスは、建築物に設置される１以上の設備１１の各々に固有に割り当てられた識別情報である。当該識別情報は、ユーザが各々の設備１１に個別に割り当ててもよく、コンピュータ機器が自動的に割り当ててもよい。 The address is identification information uniquely assigned to each of the one or more facilities 11 installed in the building. The identification information may be assigned individually by the user to each facility 11 or may be automatically assigned by a computer device.
　［グループ化画面］
　本実施の形態では、図３に示す複数のパラメータ１１２のうち、グループを示す値１１３の設定を容易にするため、グループ化部２５は、図７に示すグループ化画面１３０を生成し、表示部に表示する。ここで、グループを示す値１１３は、複数の設備１１をグループ化することで設定される。 [Grouping screen]
In the present embodiment, the grouping unit 25 generates the grouping screen 130 shown in FIG. 7 and displays the group 113 in order to facilitate setting of the value 113 indicating the group among the plurality of parameters 112 shown in FIG. To display. Here, the value 113 indicating a group is set by grouping a plurality of facilities 11.
　図７は、本実施の形態に係る情報作成方法における設備のグループ化画面１３０の一例を示す図である。グループ化画面１３０は、図２に示すレイアウト画像１００と、ポインタ１３１と、決定ボタン１３３及びキャンセルボタン１３４とを含んでいる。ユーザは、マウス、タッチセンサなどのポインティングデバイスを操作することで、ポインタ１３１を移動させることができる。 FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the equipment grouping screen 130 in the information creation method according to the present embodiment. The grouping screen 130 includes the layout image 100 shown in FIG. 2, a pointer 131, an enter button 133, and a cancel button 134. The user can move the pointer 131 by operating a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch sensor.
　ポインタ１３１によってグループ化の対象となる１以上の照明器具１０２を選択する。例えば、ポインタ１３１をクリックアンドドラッグによって移動させることで、任意の大きさの選択範囲１３２を形成する。選択範囲１３２を形成した後、決定ボタン１３３を押すことで、選択範囲１３２内に含まれる複数の照明器具１０２ａ～１０２ｄを１つのグループとしてグループ化することができる。キャンセルボタン１３４は、押された場合に、グループ化処理を中止する。 The pointer 131 selects one or more lighting fixtures 102 to be grouped. For example, a selection range 132 having an arbitrary size is formed by moving the pointer 131 by clicking and dragging. After the selection range 132 is formed, by pressing the enter button 133, the plurality of lighting fixtures 102a to 102d included in the selection range 132 can be grouped as one group. A cancel button 134 cancels the grouping process when pressed.
　なお、複数の照明器具１０２の選択方法については、この例に限らない。複数の照明器具１０２を個別にクリック（又はタッチ）することで選択してもよい。これにより、例えば、グループ化の対象である２つの照明器具の間に、グループ化の対象でない照明器具が配置されている場合でも、当該２つの照明器具をグループ化することができる。 Note that the method for selecting the plurality of lighting fixtures 102 is not limited to this example. A plurality of lighting fixtures 102 may be selected by clicking (or touching) individually. Thereby, for example, even when a lighting fixture that is not a grouping target is arranged between two lighting fixtures that are a target of grouping, the two lighting fixtures can be grouped.
　また、照明器具１０２をグループ化する例について示したが、グループ化する設備１１は、照明器具１０２に限らず、エアコンなどの空調設備でもよい。また、同種の設備に限らず、エアコンと照明器具とを１つのグループにしてもよい。 In addition, although an example in which the lighting fixtures 102 are grouped has been shown, the equipment 11 to be grouped is not limited to the lighting fixture 102 but may be air conditioning equipment such as an air conditioner. Moreover, it is not limited to the same type of equipment, and the air conditioner and the lighting fixture may be combined into one group.
　このように、レイアウト画像１００上に表示された複数の設備１１を選択することでグループ化が行われるので、直感的な操作で複数の設備１１のグループ化を行うことができる。 As described above, since the grouping is performed by selecting the plurality of facilities 11 displayed on the layout image 100, the plurality of facilities 11 can be grouped by an intuitive operation.
　［制御画面］
　続いて、操作端末４０の表示部４１に表示される制御画面について説明する。 [Control screen]
Next, the control screen displayed on the display unit 41 of the operation terminal 40 will be described.
　図８は、本実施の形態に係る情報作成方法によって作成される制御画面２００の一例を示す図である。図８は、制御対象となる設備１１が、図２で示した照明器具１０２である例について示している。 FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the control screen 200 created by the information creation method according to the present embodiment. FIG. 8 shows an example in which the equipment 11 to be controlled is the lighting fixture 102 shown in FIG.
　制御画面２００は、レイアウト画像２１０と、レイアウト画像２１０に重畳されたアイコン画像２２０とを含んでいる。 The control screen 200 includes a layout image 210 and an icon image 220 superimposed on the layout image 210.
　レイアウト画像２１０は、図２に示すレイアウト画像１００と同じであり、複数のアイコン画像２２０に対する背景となる背景画像である。レイアウト画像２１０は、表示サイズを拡大又は縮小することができる。これにより、ユーザにとって見やすい大きさで表示させることができる。 The layout image 210 is the same as the layout image 100 shown in FIG. 2 and is a background image that serves as a background for the plurality of icon images 220. The layout image 210 can be enlarged or reduced in display size. Thereby, it is possible to display in a size that is easy for the user to see.
　アイコン画像２２０は、複数の照明器具１０２の配置位置に対応する位置に配置されている。アイコン画像２２０は、対応する照明器具１０２の制御用のオブジェクトであり、例えば、選択された場合に、対応する照明器具１０２を点灯させることができる。 The icon image 220 is arranged at a position corresponding to the arrangement position of the plurality of lighting fixtures 102. The icon image 220 is an object for controlling the corresponding lighting fixture 102. For example, when the icon image 220 is selected, the corresponding lighting fixture 102 can be turned on.
　本実施の形態では、アイコン画像２２０とレイアウト画像２１０とが同一レイヤーで形成されている。すなわち、アイコン画像２２０とレイアウト画像２１０とは、１つの画像として形成されている。このため、レイアウト画像２１０の表示サイズが拡大又は縮小された場合に、アイコン画像２２０も追随して拡大又は縮小される。したがって、アイコン画像２２０とレイアウト画像２１０との相対的な位置関係は固定されているので、アイコン画像２２０の配置がずれることを抑制することができる。 In this embodiment, the icon image 220 and the layout image 210 are formed in the same layer. That is, the icon image 220 and the layout image 210 are formed as one image. For this reason, when the display size of the layout image 210 is enlarged or reduced, the icon image 220 is also enlarged or reduced accordingly. Therefore, since the relative positional relationship between the icon image 220 and the layout image 210 is fixed, it is possible to prevent the arrangement of the icon image 220 from being shifted.
　図８に示すアイコン画像２２１は、ユーザが選択したアイコン画像２２０である。本実施の形態では、ユーザが選択したアイコン画像２２１と、選択していないアイコン画像２２０とを視覚的に異ならせている。具体的には、アイコン画像２２１は、アイコン画像２２０を強調した画像である。例えば、アイコン画像２２１は、アイコン画像２２０の縁に沿って太線の枠が付されている。なお、アイコン画像２２０を強調する手段は、これに限定されない。例えば、アイコン画像２２１は、点滅表示されてもよく、拡大表示されてもよい。アイコン画像２２１は、アイコン画像２２０の色を変化させた画像でもよい。 8 is the icon image 220 selected by the user. In the present embodiment, the icon image 221 selected by the user and the icon image 220 not selected are visually different. Specifically, the icon image 221 is an image in which the icon image 220 is emphasized. For example, the icon image 221 has a thick frame along the edge of the icon image 220. The means for emphasizing the icon image 220 is not limited to this. For example, the icon image 221 may be displayed blinking or enlarged. The icon image 221 may be an image obtained by changing the color of the icon image 220.
　アイコン画像２２０の選択は、例えば、マウス、タッチセンサなどで個別に選択することで行われる。あるいは、グループ名２０１を選択してもよい。図８には、グループ名２０１を選択するためのドロップダウンリストが含まれている。グループ名２０１をドロップダウンリストの中から選択することで、選択したグループ名２０１のグループに含まれるアイコン画像２２０を一括して選択してもよい。 The selection of the icon image 220 is performed by individually selecting the icon image 220 with, for example, a mouse or a touch sensor. Alternatively, the group name 201 may be selected. FIG. 8 includes a drop-down list for selecting the group name 201. By selecting the group name 201 from the drop-down list, the icon images 220 included in the group of the selected group name 201 may be selected at once.
　制御画面２００は、図８に示すように、さらに、グループ点灯ボタン２０２と、全灯ボタン２０３とが含まれている。グループ点灯ボタン２０２は、ドロップダウンリストで選択されたグループに含まれる全ての照明器具１０２を点灯させるためのボタンである。全灯ボタン２０３は、アイコン画像２２０に対応する全て（ここでは、１２個）の照明器具１０２を点灯させるためのボタンである。 The control screen 200 further includes a group lighting button 202 and an all lamp button 203 as shown in FIG. The group lighting button 202 is a button for lighting all the lighting fixtures 102 included in the group selected from the drop-down list. The all-light button 203 is a button for lighting all (here, twelve) lighting fixtures 102 corresponding to the icon image 220.
　アイコン画像２２０が通常の選択（例えば、タッチ又はクリック）とは異なる態様（例えば、長押し、ダブルクリック）で選択された場合に、図９に示すシーン設定画面２３０を表示させることができる。図９は、本実施の形態に係る情報作成方法における情報作成方法におけるシーン設定画面２３０の一例を示す図である。 When the icon image 220 is selected in a mode (for example, long press, double click) different from normal selection (for example, touch or click), the scene setting screen 230 shown in FIG. 9 can be displayed. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the scene setting screen 230 in the information creation method in the information creation method according to the present embodiment.
　図９に示すように、シーン設定画面２３０には、選択シーン２３１と選択グループ２３２とが示されている。選択シーン２３１は、シーンの番号をドロップダウンリストで示す。なお、シーンの番号ではなく、シーンの名前などのユーザが理解しやすい表示を利用してもよい。選択グループ２３２は、照明器具１０２が属するグループを示している。 As shown in FIG. 9, the scene setting screen 230 shows a selected scene 231 and a selected group 232. The selected scene 231 shows the scene number in a drop-down list. A display that is easy for the user to understand, such as the name of the scene, may be used instead of the scene number. A selection group 232 indicates a group to which the lighting fixture 102 belongs.
　シーン設定画面２３０には、さらに、調光スライダ２３３と調色スライダ２３４とが含まれている。調光スライダ２３３は、照明器具１０２の調光比を設定するための操作部である。調光スライダ２３３を上下に移動させることによって、調光比を０％（消灯）～１００％（全点灯）の範囲で設定することができる。調色スライダ２３４は、照明器具１０２の色温度を設定するための操作部である。調色スライダ２３４を上下に移動させることによって、色温度を例えば２７００Ｋ（電球色）～６５００Ｋ（昼光色）の範囲で設定することができる。 The scene setting screen 230 further includes a light adjustment slider 233 and a color adjustment slider 234. The dimming slider 233 is an operation unit for setting the dimming ratio of the lighting fixture 102. By moving the dimming slider 233 up and down, the dimming ratio can be set in the range of 0% (off) to 100% (all on). The toning slider 234 is an operation unit for setting the color temperature of the lighting fixture 102. By moving the toning slider 234 up and down, the color temperature can be set, for example, in the range of 2700K (bulb color) to 6500K (daylight color).
　なお、調光及び調色の範囲は、照明器具１０２の機能に依存し、これらの例に限定されない。また、照明器具１０２が調光及び調色機能のいずれかを有しない場合には、シーン設定画面２３０には、調光スライダ２３３又は調色スライダ２３４が含まれなくてもよい。 In addition, the range of light control and color control depends on the function of the lighting fixture 102, and is not limited to these examples. Further, when the lighting fixture 102 does not have any one of the light control and the color adjustment function, the scene setting screen 230 may not include the light adjustment slider 233 or the color adjustment slider 234.
　本実施の形態では、シーン設定画面２３０は、さらに、リアルタイム調光の選択ボタン２３５と、再生ボタン２３６とを含んでいる。リアルタイム調光とは、シーン設定画面２３０でされた設定を、実際の照明器具１０２に反映させることである。 In this embodiment, the scene setting screen 230 further includes a real-time dimming selection button 235 and a playback button 236. The real-time dimming is to reflect the setting made on the scene setting screen 230 on the actual lighting fixture 102.
　選択ボタン２３５は、具体的にはラジオボタンであり、リアルタイム調光を実行するためのオンボタンと、リアルタイム調光を中止するためのオフボタンとを含んでいる。オンボタンが選択されている場合、調光スライダ２３３又は調色スライダ２３４を操作したときに、各々の調光比及び色温度で照明器具１０２が点灯する。つまり、調光スライダ２３３又は調色スライダ２３４の動きに連動して照明器具１０２の調光比及び色温度が変化する。 The selection button 235 is specifically a radio button, and includes an on button for executing real-time dimming and an off button for stopping real-time dimming. When the ON button is selected, when the light adjustment slider 233 or the color adjustment slider 234 is operated, the lighting apparatus 102 is turned on at each light adjustment ratio and color temperature. That is, the dimming ratio and the color temperature of the lighting fixture 102 change in conjunction with the movement of the dimming slider 233 or the toning slider 234.
　再生ボタン２３６は、シーン設定画面２３０で行った設定で現実の照明器具１０２を点灯させるためのボタンである。例えば、選択ボタン２３５のオフボタンが選択されている場合に、再生ボタン２３６が押されたとき、照明器具１０２は、再生ボタン２３６が押された時点での調光スライダ２３３が示す調光比及び調色スライダ２３４が示す色温度で点灯する。 The playback button 236 is a button for turning on the actual lighting fixture 102 with the setting made on the scene setting screen 230. For example, when the reproduction button 236 is pressed when the off button of the selection button 235 is selected, the lighting apparatus 102 causes the dimming ratio and the dimming ratio indicated by the dimming slider 233 when the reproduction button 236 is pressed. Lights at the color temperature indicated by the toning slider 234.
　シーン設定画面２３０は、さらに、終了ボタン２３７を含んでいる。終了ボタン２３７が押された場合、シーン設定が終了する。例えば、表示部４１には、シーン設定画面２３０が閉じられて、制御画面２００が表示される。 The scene setting screen 230 further includes an end button 237. When the end button 237 is pressed, the scene setting ends. For example, on the display unit 41, the scene setting screen 230 is closed and the control screen 200 is displayed.
　［効果など］
　以上のように、本実施の形態に係る情報作成方法は、建築物の構成を示す情報、及び、当該建築物に設置される１以上の設備１１を示す情報を含むＢＩＭデータ２２から、１以上の設備１１のうちの１つである特定の設備１１が設置される空間を表すレイアウト画像２１０と、特定の設備１１を表すオブジェクトであって、レイアウト画像２１０内の、特定の設備の設置位置に対応する位置に配置されたオブジェクトとを含む画面情報を抽出するステップと、オブジェクトと、特定の設備１１に割り当てられたアドレスとを関連付けるステップとを含む。 [Effects, etc.]
As described above, the information creation method according to the present embodiment includes one or more from the BIM data 22 including information indicating the configuration of the building and information indicating one or more facilities 11 installed in the building. A layout image 210 that represents a space in which the specific equipment 11 that is one of the equipments 11 is installed, and an object that represents the specific equipment 11, at the installation position of the specific equipment in the layout image 210. Extracting the screen information including the object arranged at the corresponding position, and associating the object with the address assigned to the specific facility 11.
　これにより、設備１１が設置される空間を表すレイアウト画像２１０が画面情報に含まれるので、設備１１をリスト表示する場合に比べて、直感性の高い画面を生成することができる。また、画面情報に含まれるオブジェクト（具体的には、アイコン画像２２０）と、設備１１に割り当てられたアドレスとを関連付けるので、オブジェクトを選択又は操作したときに、対応する設備１１の制御が可能になるようにすることができる。このように、本実施の形態に係る情報作成方法によれば、直感性に優れた制御画面２００を簡単に生成することができる。 Thereby, since the layout image 210 representing the space in which the equipment 11 is installed is included in the screen information, a screen with higher intuition can be generated compared to the case where the equipment 11 is displayed as a list. In addition, since the object (specifically, the icon image 220) included in the screen information is associated with the address assigned to the equipment 11, the corresponding equipment 11 can be controlled when the object is selected or operated. Can be. Thus, according to the information creation method according to the present embodiment, the control screen 200 with excellent intuition can be easily generated.
　なお、建築物を建築する際に生成されたＢＩＭデータ２２を利用して制御データ３２を生成するので、制御データ３２を生成するのに必要なコストなどを削減することができるだけでなく、建築物に設置される設備１１を網羅的に制御することができる。したがって、複数の設備１１の管理及び制御を容易に行うことができる。 In addition, since the control data 32 is generated using the BIM data 22 generated when the building is built, not only the cost necessary for generating the control data 32 can be reduced, but also the building It is possible to comprehensively control the equipment 11 installed in the factory. Therefore, management and control of the plurality of facilities 11 can be easily performed.
　また、例えば、抽出するステップでは、特定の設備１１の制御に用いる制御情報をさらに含む画面情報を抽出し、関連付けるステップでは、さらに、オブジェクトと制御情報とを関連付ける。 Also, for example, in the extracting step, screen information further including control information used for controlling the specific equipment 11 is extracted, and in the associating step, the object and the control information are further associated.
　これにより、オブジェクトと制御情報とが関連付けられるので、オブジェクトを操作したときに、当該オブジェクトに関連付けられた制御情報に基づいて設備１１を制御することができる。したがって、設備１１の制御を容易に行うことができる。 Thereby, since the object and the control information are associated, when the object is operated, the equipment 11 can be controlled based on the control information associated with the object. Therefore, the equipment 11 can be easily controlled.
　また、例えば、情報作成方法は、さらに、オブジェクトのグループ化を行うステップを含む。 For example, the information creation method further includes a step of grouping objects.
　これにより、オブジェクトのグループ化を行うことで、複数の設備１１を関連させて制御することができる。例えば、グループ化された複数の照明器具１０２ａ～１０２ｄ（図７を参照）を一斉に点灯又は消灯することができる。 Thus, by grouping objects, it is possible to control a plurality of facilities 11 in association with each other. For example, a plurality of grouped lighting fixtures 102a to 102d (see FIG. 7) can be turned on or off all at once.
　また、例えば、抽出するステップでは、さらに、１以上の設備１１の種別と１以上の設備１１の動作状態との組み合わせ毎に異なる複数のアイコン画像の中から、特定の設備１１の種別と特定の設備１１の動作状態との組み合わせに対応するアイコン画像２２０を、オブジェクトとして決定する。 Further, for example, in the extracting step, the type of the specific equipment 11 and the specific type are selected from a plurality of different icon images for each combination of the type of the one or more equipment 11 and the operation state of the one or more equipment 11. The icon image 220 corresponding to the combination with the operation state of the equipment 11 is determined as an object.
　これにより、アイコン画像２２０によって設備の種別及び動作状態を表すことができる。したがって、ユーザは、制御画面２００に表示されるアイコン画像２２０を見た場合に、直感的に、設備１１の種類とその動作状態とを把握することができる。 Thereby, the type and operating state of the equipment can be represented by the icon image 220. Therefore, when the user looks at the icon image 220 displayed on the control screen 200, the user can intuitively grasp the type of the equipment 11 and its operation state.
　また、例えば、画面情報は、オブジェクトとレイアウト画像２１０とが同一レイヤーで形成されている。 For example, in the screen information, the object and the layout image 210 are formed in the same layer.
　これにより、レイアウト画像２１０を拡大又は縮小した場合に、アイコン画像２２０も拡大又は縮小されるので、アイコン画像２２０の配置の偏りなどが発生するのを防ぐことができる。 Thereby, when the layout image 210 is enlarged or reduced, the icon image 220 is also enlarged or reduced, so that it is possible to prevent the arrangement of the icon image 220 from being biased.
　また、例えば、本実施の形態に係る情報作成システム１０は、建築物の構成を示す情報、及び、当該建築物に設置される１以上の設備１１を示す情報を含むＢＩＭデータ２２を記憶する記憶部２１と、記憶部２１に記憶されたＢＩＭデータ２２から、１以上の設備１１のうちの１つである特定の設備１１が設置される空間を表すレイアウト画像２１０と、特定の設備１１を表すオブジェクトであって、レイアウト画像２１０内の、特定の設備１１の設置位置に対応する位置に配置されたオブジェクトとを含む画面情報を抽出する抽出部２３と、オブジェクトと、特定の設備１１に割り当てられたアドレスとを関連付ける関連付け部２４とを備える。 Further, for example, the information creation system 10 according to the present embodiment stores the BIM data 22 including information indicating the configuration of the building and information indicating one or more facilities 11 installed in the building. The layout image 210 showing the space where the specific equipment 11 which is one of the one or more equipments 11 is installed, and the specific equipment 11 are represented from the unit 21 and the BIM data 22 stored in the storage unit 21. An extraction unit 23 that extracts screen information including an object and an object arranged at a position corresponding to the installation position of the specific equipment 11 in the layout image 210, the object, and the specific equipment 11 And an associating unit 24 for associating the received address with each other.
　これにより、設備１１が設置される空間を表すレイアウト画像２１０が画面情報に含まれるので、設備１１をリスト表示する場合に比べて、直感性の高い画面を生成することができる。また、画面情報に含まれるオブジェクトと、設備１１に割り当てられたアドレスとを関連付けるので、オブジェクトを選択又は操作したときに、対応する設備１１の制御が可能になるようにすることができる。このように、本実施の形態に係る情報作成方法によれば、直感性に優れた制御画面２００を簡単に生成することができる。 Thereby, since the layout image 210 representing the space in which the equipment 11 is installed is included in the screen information, a screen with higher intuition can be generated compared to the case where the equipment 11 is displayed as a list. In addition, since the object included in the screen information is associated with the address assigned to the equipment 11, it is possible to control the corresponding equipment 11 when the object is selected or operated. Thus, according to the information creation method according to the present embodiment, the control screen 200 with excellent intuition can be easily generated.
　（変形例１）
　以下では、実施の形態に係る情報作成方法の変形例１について図面を用いて説明する。 (Modification 1)
Below, the modification 1 of the information creation method which concerns on embodiment is demonstrated using drawing.
　図１０は、本変形例に係る情報作成方法によって作成される制御画面３００の一例を示す図である。なお、図１０は、図８と同様に、制御対象となる設備１１が、図２で示した照明器具１０２である例について示している。 FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the control screen 300 created by the information creation method according to this modification. 10 shows an example in which the equipment 11 to be controlled is the lighting fixture 102 shown in FIG. 2, as in FIG.
　本変形例に係る制御画面３００は、図８に示す制御画面２００と比較して、レイアウト画像２１０の代わりにレイアウト画像３１０を含む点が相違する。以下では、実施の形態との相違点を中心に説明し、同じ点は説明を省略又は簡略化する。 The control screen 300 according to this modification is different from the control screen 200 shown in FIG. 8 in that it includes a layout image 310 instead of the layout image 210. In the following, differences from the embodiment will be mainly described, and description of the same points will be omitted or simplified.
　上記の実施の形態１では、レイアウト画像２１０が空間を２次元で表す例について示したが、図１０に示すように、本実施の形態に係る制御画面３００では、レイアウト画像３１０が空間を３次元で表している。図１０に示すレイアウト画像３１０は、例えば、斜め上方から見た空間を表している。レイアウト画像３１０は、拡大、縮小、回転を自由に行うことができる。これにより、様々な角度から様々な大きさでレイアウト画像３１０を表示することができる。 In the first embodiment described above, an example in which the layout image 210 represents the space in two dimensions has been shown. However, in the control screen 300 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. It is represented by A layout image 310 illustrated in FIG. 10 represents, for example, a space viewed obliquely from above. The layout image 310 can be freely enlarged, reduced, and rotated. Thereby, the layout image 310 can be displayed in various sizes from various angles.
　このように、本変形例に係る情報作成方法では、レイアウト画像３１０は、空間を３次元で表す画像である。 As described above, in the information creation method according to this modification, the layout image 310 is an image that represents a space in three dimensions.
　これにより、レイアウト画像３１０が空間を三次元で表しているので、ユーザの直感的な理解を助けることができる。例えば、平面図の場合に比べて、制御画面３００の直感性をより高めることができるので、ユーザの理解をより助けることができる。 Thereby, since the layout image 310 represents the space in three dimensions, it is possible to help the user's intuitive understanding. For example, since the intuition of the control screen 300 can be further increased as compared with the case of the plan view, it is possible to further assist the user's understanding.
　なお、複数のアイコン画像２２０は、実施の形態と同様に、レイアウト画像３１０と同一のレイヤーで形成されている。あるいは、複数のアイコン画像２２０は、レイアウト画像３１０とは異なるレイヤーで形成されていてもよい。 Note that the plurality of icon images 220 are formed in the same layer as the layout image 310 as in the embodiment. Alternatively, the plurality of icon images 220 may be formed in a layer different from the layout image 310.
　アイコン画像２２０とレイアウト画像３１０とが同一のレイヤーで形成されている場合、レイアウト画像３１０を回転させた場合に、アイコン画像２２０も合わせて回転されてしまうので、アイコン画像２２０を選択しにくくなる恐れがある。これに対して、アイコン画像２２０とレイアウト画像３１０とが異なるレイヤーで形成されている場合には、アイコン画像２２０の向きを常に正位置にすることができ、複数のアイコン画像２２０間の画面内での距離も適切に保つことができる。したがって、ユーザの利便性をより高めることができる。 When the icon image 220 and the layout image 310 are formed in the same layer, when the layout image 310 is rotated, the icon image 220 is also rotated together, so that it may be difficult to select the icon image 220. There is. On the other hand, when the icon image 220 and the layout image 310 are formed in different layers, the orientation of the icon image 220 can always be in the normal position, and within the screen between the plurality of icon images 220. The distance can also be kept appropriate. Therefore, user convenience can be further enhanced.
　（変形例２）
　続いて、実施の形態に係る情報作成方法の変形例２について図面を用いて説明する。 (Modification 2)
Next, a second modification of the information creation method according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
　図１１は、本変形例に係る情報作成方法によって作成される制御画面に表示されるアイコン画像と設備との対応を示す図である。 FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the correspondence between icon images and facilities displayed on the control screen created by the information creation method according to this modification.
　上記の実施の形態では、１つの設備１１に対して、動作状態毎に異なるアイコン画像が対応付けられているのに対して、本変形例では、図１１に示すように、１つの設備１１に対して、互いにサイズが異なる複数のアイコン画像が対応付けられている。 In the above embodiment, a different icon image is associated with each piece of equipment 11 for each operation state, whereas in this modification, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, a plurality of icon images having different sizes are associated with each other.
　具体的には、設備１１と動作状態との組み合わせ毎に、互いにサイズが異なる複数のアイコン画像が対応付けられている。例えば、図１１には、蛍光灯の稼動状態に対して、サイズが異なる３つのアイコン画像が対応付けられている。３つのアイコン画像は、サイズのみが異なっており、アイコン画像が示す模式的な設備の特徴は、全て同じである。 Specifically, a plurality of icon images having different sizes are associated with each combination of the equipment 11 and the operation state. For example, in FIG. 11, three icon images having different sizes are associated with the operating state of the fluorescent lamp. The three icon images differ only in size, and the features of the schematic facilities indicated by the icon images are all the same.
　なお、異なるサイズのアイコン画像の数は、３つに限らない。アイコン画像の数は、２でもよく、４以上でもよい。また、図１１では、蛍光灯の稼動状態に対するアイコン画像を示したが、蛍光灯の停止状態についても同様に、互いにサイズが異なる複数のアイコン画像が対応付けられていてもよい。ダウンライト、エアコンなどのその他の設備と、その動作状態との組み合わせに応じて、互いにサイズが異なる複数のアイコン画像が対応付けられていてもよい。 Note that the number of icon images of different sizes is not limited to three. The number of icon images may be two or four or more. Moreover, although the icon image with respect to the operating state of a fluorescent lamp was shown in FIG. 11, similarly about the stop state of a fluorescent lamp, the several icon image from which a size mutually differs may be matched. A plurality of icon images having different sizes may be associated with each other according to a combination of other equipment such as a downlight and an air conditioner and its operation state.
　図１２は、本変形例に係る情報作成方法によって作成される制御画面２００の一例を示す図である。図１２の（ａ）は、レイアウト画像２１０を縮小して表示する例を示し、（ｂ）は、レイアウト画像２１０を拡大して表示する例を示している。 FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the control screen 200 created by the information creation method according to this modification. 12A shows an example in which the layout image 210 is reduced and displayed, and FIG. 12B shows an example in which the layout image 210 is enlarged and displayed.
　本変形例では、抽出部２３は、サイズが異なる複数のアイコン画像の中から、レイアウト画像２１０の表示サイズに応じたサイズのアイコン画像を、オブジェクトとして決定する。具体的には、抽出部２３は、レイアウト画像２１０の表示サイズが小さい場合に、小さいサイズのアイコン画像４２１をレイアウト画像２１０に重畳表示させる。また、抽出部２３は、レイアウト画像２１０の表示サイズが大きい場合に、大きいサイズのアイコン画像４２２をレイアウト画像２１０に重畳表示させる。 In this modification, the extraction unit 23 determines an icon image having a size corresponding to the display size of the layout image 210 as an object from among a plurality of icon images having different sizes. Specifically, when the display size of the layout image 210 is small, the extraction unit 23 causes the icon image 421 having a small size to be superimposed and displayed on the layout image 210. In addition, when the display size of the layout image 210 is large, the extraction unit 23 causes the icon image 422 having a large size to be superimposed on the layout image 210.
　例えば、レイアウト画像２１０とアイコン画像４２１とが同一レイヤーで形成されている場合、レイアウト画像２１０を拡大したとき、アイコン画像４２１も同じ割合で拡大される。拡大率が大きい場合、アイコン画像４２１が粗く表示されてしまう恐れがある。これに対して、本変形例では、拡大率が大きい場合に、サイズが大きいアイコン画像４２２を表示することで、アイコン画像４２１の画質の劣化を抑制することができる。 For example, when the layout image 210 and the icon image 421 are formed in the same layer, when the layout image 210 is enlarged, the icon image 421 is also enlarged at the same rate. If the enlargement ratio is large, the icon image 421 may be displayed coarsely. On the other hand, in this modification, when the enlargement ratio is large, the icon image 422 having a large size is displayed, so that deterioration of the image quality of the icon image 421 can be suppressed.
　また、例えば、レイアウト画像２１０とアイコン画像４２２とが同一レイヤーで形成されている場合、レイアウト画像２１０を縮小したとき、アイコン画像４２２も同じ割合で縮小される。縮小率が大きい（十分に小さく縮小される）場合、アイコン画像４２２のサイズが小さくなって選択しにくくなる恐れがある。これに対して、本変形例では、縮小率が大きい場合に、サイズが小さいアイコン画像４２１を表示することで、適切なサイズでアイコン画像４２１を表示することができる。 For example, when the layout image 210 and the icon image 422 are formed in the same layer, when the layout image 210 is reduced, the icon image 422 is also reduced at the same rate. If the reduction ratio is large (reduced sufficiently small), the size of the icon image 422 may be small and difficult to select. On the other hand, in the present modification, when the reduction ratio is large, the icon image 421 can be displayed with an appropriate size by displaying the icon image 421 with a small size.
　このように、本変形例に係る情報作成方法では、抽出するステップでは、さらに、サイズが異なる複数のアイコン画像の中から、レイアウト画像２１０の表示サイズに応じたサイズのアイコン画像を、オブジェクトとして決定する。 As described above, in the information creation method according to the present modification, in the extracting step, an icon image having a size corresponding to the display size of the layout image 210 is determined as an object from a plurality of icon images having different sizes. To do.
　これにより、レイアウト画像２１０の表示サイズに応じて異なるサイズのアイコン画像が準備されているので、適切なサイズのアイコン画像を表示することができる。 Thereby, since icon images of different sizes are prepared according to the display size of the layout image 210, an icon image of an appropriate size can be displayed.
　（その他）
　以上、本発明に係る情報作成方法及び情報作成システムなどについて、実施の形態及びその変形例に基づいて説明したが、本発明は、上記の実施の形態などに限定されるものではない。 (Other)
As described above, the information creation method and the information creation system according to the present invention have been described based on the embodiments and the modifications thereof, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.
　例えば、複数の設備１１のグループ化を行わなくてもよい。あるいは、複数の設備１１を階層的にグループ化してもよい。例えば、所定のグループの中に複数の小グループ（例えば、ゾーン）が含まれてもよい。 For example, it is not necessary to group a plurality of facilities 11. Alternatively, the plurality of facilities 11 may be grouped hierarchically. For example, a plurality of small groups (for example, zones) may be included in the predetermined group.
　また、例えば、オブジェクトは、アイコン画像でなくてもよい。オブジェクトは、例えば、シーン設定画面２３０へのリンクが付されたテキスト又はボタンなどでもよい。この場合に、変形例２と同様に、レイアウト画像２１０の表示サイズに合わせて、テキストなどが適切なサイズで表示されてもよい。例えば、レイアウト画像２１０のサイズによらずに、制御画面２００上で一定のサイズでテキストなどが表示されてもよい。 For example, the object may not be an icon image. The object may be, for example, text or a button with a link to the scene setting screen 230. In this case, as in the second modification, text or the like may be displayed in an appropriate size in accordance with the display size of the layout image 210. For example, text or the like may be displayed on the control screen 200 with a certain size regardless of the size of the layout image 210.
　また、例えば、上記の情報作成システム１０では、情報作成装置２０が作成した制御データ３２（制御画面情報）に基づいて、操作端末４０の表示部４１が制御画面２００を表示する例について示したが、これに限らない。制御画面２００は、情報作成システム１０とは異なる別の表示装置などによって表示されてもよい。すなわち、本発明は、情報作成システム１０として実現できるだけでなく、情報作成装置２０として実現することもできる。 For example, in the information creation system 10 described above, an example in which the display unit 41 of the operation terminal 40 displays the control screen 200 based on the control data 32 (control screen information) created by the information creation device 20 has been described. Not limited to this. The control screen 200 may be displayed by another display device different from the information creation system 10. That is, the present invention can be realized not only as the information creation system 10 but also as the information creation device 20.
　あるいは、情報作成装置２０は、管理装置３０及び操作端末４０の少なくとも一方の機能を有してもよい。例えば、情報作成装置２０は、制御データ３２を記憶する記憶部３１と、制御部３３とを備え、複数の設備１１を制御してもよい。また、例えば、情報作成装置２０は、表示部４１と、操作受付部４２とを備え、表示部４１に表示される制御画面２００などを介してユーザから操作入力を受け付けてもよい。 Alternatively, the information creation device 20 may have at least one function of the management device 30 and the operation terminal 40. For example, the information creation device 20 may include a storage unit 31 that stores the control data 32 and a control unit 33, and may control a plurality of facilities 11. Further, for example, the information creation apparatus 20 may include a display unit 41 and an operation reception unit 42 and may receive an operation input from a user via the control screen 200 displayed on the display unit 41.
