Abstract
An image indicating a space to be air-conditioned in an office building is formed by rectangular pattern images having fill patterns which differ according to an air-conditioning status, and a frame image overlapping the pattern images. In this case, when an air-conditioning status such as the temperature or humidity of each area as a space to be air-conditioned changes, the rectangular pattern images have only to be redrawn with their display colors being changed, regardless of the shape of each area. Accordingly, the amount of information to be handled when updating the image according to a change in the air-conditioning status is reduced, and the image can be updated accurately in a short period of time.
