Patent ID: 7204759

Claim:
A method for arrangement of a plurality of different kinds of electrically powered selection objects, comprising the steps of: providing a configuration model on a computer of an area for the plurality of different kinds of electrically powered selection objects to be arbitrarily arranged therein, and providing configuration models in said computer of respective electrically powered selection objects; performing art arrangement of the configuration models of the respective electrically powered selection objects on the configuration model of the area; collecting frequency of utilization information for each electrically powered selection object; said plurality of selection objects including a first object disposed in a first location and having a low frequency of utilization and a second object disposed in a second location and having a high frequency of utilization, said method further comprising the steps of: visually identifying and categorizing each selection object based on said frequency of utilization for each object; repositioning said first object in said second location and said second object in said first location and determining whether there is an increase in frequency of utilization for said first object and a decrease in frequency of utilization for said second object; collecting respective characteristics of an electrically powered selection object having a high frequency of utilization or a location having a high frequency of utilization for analysis to provide resultant information; further rearranging the configuration models of the electrically powered selection objects on die configuration model of the area through a relation to an area environment information, including information relating to power supply outlets for the plurality of different kinds of electrically powered selection objects; a relation to a configuration of a location of the configuration model of the area and a relation to configuration models of other electrically powered selection objects in accordance with the identifying indication and the resultant information, to simulate rearranging the electrically powered selection objects to decide routes for a rearrangement of the electrically powered selection objects and a state after the rearrangement; and rearranging the electrically powered selection objects in the area in correspondence to the rearrangement.
