SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREPARING PATENT MAP AND RECORDING MEDIUM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for preparing patent map and a recording medium, with which the patent map of high quality can be easily prepared. SOLUTION: Data are imported (step S11), the location conditions of display units are set (step S12) and on the basis of the imported data and the set location conditions, the location positions (coordinates) of display units are operated (step S13). The operated coordinates are preserved as vector data while being linked with input data (step S14). While using such preserved vector data, an operator can freely edit the finish work of the patent map with a draw system having the high degree of expression freedom.
