As mentioned above, the conditions for heat insulation specifications and frame types are set before other conditions, and when setting functions and designs, any of the entrance doors that meet the conditions for heat insulation specifications and frame types are provided. Only the function and design were allowed to be specified, because the conditions for heat insulation specifications and frame types must be met and cannot be ignored. Therefore, the recommended candidate selection unit 117 extracts a recommended candidate by removing the conditions other than the heat insulation specification and the frame type, that is, the conditions of the design or the function. As a result, the entrance doors that satisfy the conditions such as the heat insulation specifications and the frame types that must be satisfied when selecting the entrance doors can be extracted as recommended candidates. In this case, for example, for all the recommended candidates to be presented, the functional condition may be prioritized over the design, or the design condition may be prioritized over the function. Alternatively, the first condition may be removed for a part of the number of recommended candidates presented, and the second condition different from the first condition may be removed for the remaining recommended candidates. For example, of the four recommended candidates, the design condition may be removed for two, and the function condition may be prioritized, and the remaining two candidates may be removed, and the design condition may be prioritized. The priority order may be set among the conditions regarding the six types of functions. In addition, the recommended candidates are extracted while removing the conditions one by one, and according to the number of recommended candidates extracted when the respective conditions are ignored, it is determined which condition should be ignored and which condition should be prioritized. Good. As a result of extracting recommended candidates while ignoring any condition, if more recommended candidates than the number of presentations are extracted, as described above, the score may be calculated and the recommended candidates may be narrowed down to the number of presentations. . If the number of extractions is less than the number of presentations even if any one condition is ignored, a plurality of conditions may be ignored.

  In the above example, the recommended candidate selection unit 117 extracts recommended candidates from the entrance doors whose information is stored in the door information holding unit 151 according to the set conditions, but in another example, the recommended candidates are set. A door information table that stores the entrance doors that are presented as recommended candidates in association with each other for each combination of conditions is stored, and the recommended candidate selection unit 117 refers to the door information table and recommends candidates associated with the set conditions.

The heat insulation specification column, frame type column, design column, fire protection classification column, suspension source column, and function column store the set conditions, and the recommended candidate column corresponds to the set conditions as recommended candidates. The ID of the front door to be presented is stored.

  The recommended candidate selection unit 117 searches the door information table for a line that matches the set condition, and selects the recommended candidate stored in the searched line. As a result, the intention of the manufacturer or the like who creates the door information table can be reflected in the recommended candidates. Further, the type of the entrance door presented as a recommended candidate can be adjusted according to the conditions.
