Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating multiple room placements is disclosed. In the embodiment, the method involves obtaining information indicating a number of rooms to be placed in a department, the information including room type information, capturing at least one room pattern using a pattern language-based regular expression, and generating a plurality of room placements using the at least one room pattern by placing the rooms to be placed in the department according to the selected room pattern.
Claims24
A computer-implemented method for generating multiple room placements, the method comprising:
- obtaining information indicating a number of rooms to be placed in a department, the information including room type information;
- capturing at least one room pattern using a pattern language-based regular expression;
- and
- generating a plurality of room placements using the at least one room pattern by placing the rooms to be placed in the department according to the selected room pattern;
- wherein capturing the at least one room pattern using a pattern language-based regular expression involves using a vocabulary of symbols corresponding to rooms and relations between the rooms in the room pattern, a syntax, and a grammar.
