Abstract
A system design support apparatus generates new user data on the basis of derived user data including: base user data reference information that is information specifying user data to be referred to; and information on an item changed from the user data specified by the base user data reference information and on changed contents. A system design support method includes a step of selecting user data to be used, a step of generating derived user data including: base user data reference information for specifying the selected user data to be used; and information on an item changed from the user data specified by the base user data reference information and on changed contents, and a step of generating new user data on the basis of the derived user data.
Claims11
A system design support apparatus used to generate new user data, using existing user data, comprising:
- circuitry configured to generate the new user data on a basis of derived user data, the derived user data including:
- base user data reference information that is information specifying user data to be referred to;
- and information on an item changed from the user data specified by the base user data reference information and on changed contents;
- and
- display data generator circuitry configured to generate display data for grouping and hierarchically displaying data included in the derived user data,
- wherein in the hierarchical display of the data, an item in which the user data specified by the base user data reference information is used as it is, and an item in which the user data specified by the base user data reference information is changed in the derived user data are visually distinctively displayed.
(canceled)
A system design support method to generate new user data, using user data on an existing device, the method comprising:
- selecting user data to be used;
- generating derived user data, the derived user data including:
- base user data reference information for specifying the selected user data to be used;
- and information on an item changed from the user data specified by the base user data reference information and on changed contents;
- and
- generating the new user data on a basis of the derived user data,
- wherein the system design support method further comprises generating display data for grouping and hierarchically displaying data included in the derived user data, and
- wherein in the hierarchical display of the data, an item in which the user data specified by the base user data reference information is used as it is, and an item in which the user data specified by the base user data reference information is changed in the derived user data are visually distinctively displayed.
