PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for arithmetically operating a combination of arranging food products while minimizing mutual influences.SOLUTION: A food product arrangement operation method is for arithmetically operating places for arranging plural food products in a container having plural arrangement spots. The method includes: a container information setup step of setting container information indicating a degree of adjacent zones influencing, and storing the information in a storage part a food product information setup step of setting food product information indicating attributes including an influence attribute indicating a degree of a food product influencing another food product and a resistance attribute indicating a food product having a resistance against another food product, and storing the information in the storage part a compatibility information operation step of an arithmetic operation part arithmetically operating compatibility information indicating compatibility of food products from the food product information a food-product list setup step of setting a food product list indicating categories of food products to be arranged in a container, and storing the list in the storage part and an arrangement operation step of the arithmetic operation part arithmetically operating a combination of food products with less influence between adjacent food products when they are arranged in the arrangement spots.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】食品が互いに影響することが少ない配置の組合せを演算する方法を提供する。【解決手段】複数の配置場所を有する容器に複数の食品を配置する場所を演算する食品配置演算方法にかかわり、隣り合う領域が影響を及ぼす程度を示す容器情報を設定し記憶部に記憶する容器情報設定工程と、食品が他の食品に影響を及ぼす程度を示す影響度属性と食品が他の食品に耐性を備える程度を示す耐性属性と、の属性を示す食品情報を設定し記憶部に記憶する食品情報設定工程と、食品情報から食品の相性を示す相性情報を演算部が演算する相性情報演算工程と、容器に配置する食品の種類を示す食品リストを設定し記憶部に記憶する食品リスト設定工程と、配置場所に食品を配置したときに隣り合う食品の影響が少ない組合せを演算部が演算する配置演算工程と、を有する。【選択図】図3
