METHOD, APPARATUS AND PROGRAM FOR CALCULATION OF SIGNAL TRANSFERABLE TIME ZONE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for calculation of a signal transferable time zone capable of preventing collision of signals.

SOLUTION: The apparatus for calculation of a signal transferable time zone includes: a passing time calculation means 241 for calculating a signal passing start time and a signal passing end time when a signal passes through a branch node on the basis of a delay time 231 denoting a time of delay when the signal output from each of edge apparatuses passes through a partial path, connection information 233 for denoting a connection state of the partial path, and a signal output time 235 for denoting a time when each of the edge apparatuses outputs the signal; and a timing calculation means 243 that calculates a time interval so that signals from all the edge apparatuses do not pass through each of partial paths in the same direction and at the same position at the same time to calculate a signal output timing of the concerned edge apparatus, one or more partial paths being provided wherein a time resulting from summating a prescribed time interval to a signal passing start time corresponding to another edge apparatus is consecutive with respect to a signal passing end time corresponding to a prescribed edge apparatus.
