Design work assistance apparatus
First Claim
1. A design work assistance apparatus, for guiding design works, sequentially, along with a process template, defining steps of design works therein, comprising:
- a personal process template producing means for producing a template for use of personal works from a common process template, indicating flows of design work processes by an order of unit work processes;
a relation means for relating design knowledge, including design information and design tools therein, to said common process template and said personal process template, thereby storing them into a knowledge database;
a useful knowledge extraction means for extracting the design knowledge to be provided for design workers from said common process template and said personal process template; and
a knowledge visualizing means for visualizing the design knowledge extracted, thereby to be provided for each of the design workers.

Abstract
In design work assistance apparatus, a personal process template producing means produces a template for use of personal works from a common process template, indicating flows of design work processes by an order of unit work processes. A relation means relates design knowledge, such as, design information and design tools, etc., to both the common process template and the personal process template produced, and stores them into a knowledge database. A useful knowledge extraction means extracts the design knowledge to be provided for design workers from the common process template and the personal process template. And, a knowledge visualizing means visualizes the extracted design knowledge, to be provided for each of the design workers.

12. A design work assistance apparatus, for guiding design works, sequentially, along with a process template, defining steps of design works therein, comprising:
-
a personal process template producing means for producing a template for use of personal works from a common process template, indicating flows of design work processes by an order of unit work processes;
a relation means for relating design knowledge, including design information and design tools therein, to said common process template and said personal process template, thereby storing them into a knowledge database;
a useful knowledge extraction means for extracting the design knowledge to be provided for design workers from said common process template and said personal process template;
means for relating said design knowledge to the same work process for the common process template, when relating the design knowledge to the work process of the personal process template;
means for searching the design knowledge, which was referred to at time when interrupting the design works, when re-starting the design works temporarily interrupted, thereby displaying it on an operation screen;
means for extracting the design knowledge, to which no reference is made in past;
means for extracting design knowledge being high in frequency of references; and
a knowledge visualizing means for visualizing the design knowledge extracted, thereby to be provided for each of the design workers.
