COMPONENT POSITION DETECTION METHOD AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
- setting a starting point and a target component on a circuit of a circuit diagram;
tracing lines based on connection relationship of a component located between the starting point and the target component;
counting the number of lines between the starting point and the target component;
determining positional relationship of components based on the counted number of the lines; and
outputting information that the positional relationship is inappropriate when determination result indicates that the positional relationship is inappropriate.

Abstract
A non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process that includes: setting a starting point and a target component on a circuit of a circuit diagram; tracing lines based on connection relationship of a component located between the starting point and the target component; counting the number of lines between the starting point and the target component; determining positional relationship of components based on the counted number of the lines; and outputting information that the positional relationship is inappropriate when determination result indicates that the positional relationship is inappropriate.

6. A detection method comprising:
-
setting, using a computer, a starting point and a target component onto a circuit of a circuit diagram; tracing, using the computer, lines based on connection relationship of a component located between the starting point and the target component; counting, using the computer, the number of lines between the starting point and the target component; determining, using the computer, positional relationship of the component based on the counted number of the lines; and outputting information that the positional relationship is inappropriate when determination result indicates that the positional relationship is inappropriate.

7. An information processing apparatus comprising:
-
a memory; a processor coupled to the memory and configured to; set a starting point and a target component onto a circuit of a circuit diagram; trace lines based on connection relationship of a component located between the starting point and the target component; count, using the computer, the number of lines between the starting point and the target component; determine positional relationship of the component based on the counted number of the lines; and output information that the positional relationship is inappropriate when determination result indicates that the positional relationship is inappropriate.

8. A computer-implemented method of circuit design comprising:
-
establishing a starting point within the circuit diagram including a plurality of components; setting one of the plurality of components as a target component; tracing lines from the starting point to the set target component; counting the number of lines between the starting point and the target component; determining a positional relationship of the target component based on the counted number of lines; and outputting a result indicating appropriateness of the determined positional relationship of the target component based on rule information for the target component and the counted number of lines. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
