Abstract

A tree system diagram output method of correlating a plurality of objects and outputting the plurality of objects as a tree system diagram includes the steps of: (a) storing, in a first storing part, an identifier specific to each of the plurality of objects written on a first worksheet; (b) selecting at least one object among the plurality of objects written on the first worksheet; (c) pasting the object selected in the step (b) to a second worksheet; and (d) changing the identifier of the object to be pasted in the step (c) to a second identifier.

Claims

1-15. -15. (canceled)

16. A tree system diagram output method of correlating a plurality of objects and outputting the plurality of objects as a tree system diagram, comprising the steps of:

(a) storing, in a first storing part, an identifier specific to each of the plurality of objects;

(b) setting a link between information stored in an external database and the identifier; and

(c) storing, in a second storing part, the link between the information stored in the external database and the identifier, the link being set in the step (b).

17. The tree system diagram output method as claimed in claim 16, further comprising the step of:

(d) reading the information stored in the external database, said information being linked to the identifier of one selected object among the plurality of objects.

18. The tree system diagram output method as claimed in claim 16, wherein the external database is connected to a computer via a network.

19. The tree system diagram output method as claimed in claim 18, wherein the external database is connected to the computer via the Internet.

20. A computer program for correlating a plurality of objects and outputting the plurality of objects as a tree system diagram, comprising the instructions of:

(a) causing a computer to store an identifier specific to each of the plurality of objects;

(b) causing the computer to set a link between information stored in an external database and the identifier; and

(c) causing the computer to store the set link between the information stored in the external database and the identifier.

21. The computer program as claimed in claim 20, further comprising the instruction of:

(d) causing the computer to read the information stored in the external database, said information being linked to the identifier of one selected object among the plurality of objects.

22. A computer-readable recording medium that stores a computer program for correlating a plurality of objects and outputting the plurality of objects as a tree system diagram, comprising the instructions of:

(a) causing a computer to store an identifier specific to each of the plurality of objects;

(b) causing the computer to set a link between information stored in an external database and the identifier; and

(c) causing the computer to store the set link between the information stored in the external database and the identifier.

23. The computer-readable recording medium as claimed in claim 22, wherein the computer program further comprises the instruction of:

(d) causing the computer to read the information stored in the external database, said information being linked to the identifier of one selected object among the plurality of objects.
