A plurality of apparatuses mounted on cars are monitored and controlled by control devices mounted on the cars. A display device capable of displaying apparatus information of the apparatuses is mounted on a driver's cab. A display screen of the display device is configured by arranging a plurality of display components by which apparatus information of each of the apparatuses can be displayed. A software generating device determines arrangement positions of the display components arranged on the display screen, automatically generates layout design data of the display screen, and automatically generates software for generating the display screen on the basis of the layout design data. The arrangement positions of the display components respectively representing the apparatuses when a number of apparatuses of the same type are monitored and controlled by one and the same control device are determined according to arrangement rule information that is exceptional rules.

Vehicle-mounted multimedia device

At least one graphic element includes basic element data of an image, such as a menu, and attributes of the basic element. At least one animation element associated with the graphic element describes a condition and a procedure for dynamically changing an attribute of the graphic element when the condition is fulfilled. The graphic element and the animation element are stored as drawing data. When the condition is fulfilled, the procedure described in the animation element is executed so that an attribute of the graphic element is changed.
