Design support system and design support method
First Claim
1. A design support system for supporting a design of an electronic device having an input device through which an input is made elasticity, comprising:
- a simulation unit for executing a structural simulation of a first input device based on structural data of the electronic device having the first input device;
a re-design determining unit for notifying a designer that based on reactive characteristic data of the first input device output from the simulation unit that the electronic device is required to be re-designed;
an examining unit for examining the reactive characteristic data; and
a selecting unit for selecting a second input device from an input device data base when it is determined by the examining unit that the first input device is deficient.

Abstract
A design support system for supporting a design of an electronic device having an input device through which an input is made by utilizing elasticity is provided. The system includes a simulation unit for executing structural simulation of an input device based on structural data of the electronic device including the input device. The support system can include a re-design determining unit for notifying a need for re-design to a designer based on reactive characteristic data of the input device output from the simulation unit. The support system can include an examining unit for examining the reactive characteristic data, and a selecting unit for selecting another input device to replace the current input device.

9. A design support method of supporting the design of an electronic device having an input device through which an input is made by utilizing elasticity, comprising:
-
a simulation operation of executing a structural simulation of a first input device based on structural data of the electronic device including the first input device; a re-design determining operation of notifying a designer when it is determined based on reactive characteristic data of the first input device output from the simulation unit that the electronic device is required to be re-designed; an examining operation of examining the reactive characteristic data; and a selecting operation of selecting a second input device, to replace the first input device, from an input device data base when it is determined in the examining operation that the first input device is deficient.
