<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the input of any illegal set value under a simple constraint condition even when there exists any complicate dependence between set items. <P>SOLUTION: A hierarchy dependency information storage part 105 stores hierarchy dependency information showing a hierarchy structure between set items. An input part 106 inputs information designating a set value candidate as the candidate of a set value corresponding to a new set item and a hierarchy as the assignment destination of the new set item. A set value check part 107 extracts the new set item and the set item of the same hierarchy and the set item of the high-order hierarchy from the hierarchy dependency information, and extracts the set values of the set item of the same hierarchy and the set item of the high-order hierarchy from the set value information of a set value information storage part 103. The set value check part 107 determines whether or not the set value candidate of the new set item matches a constraint condition, and determines whether or not the set value candidate of the new set item is within the range of the set value of the set item of the high order hierarchy, and overlapped with the set value of the set item of the same hierarchy. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT</p> |
