Patent number: 8875085Abstract: A wiring inspection apparatus includes a first calculating unit, a second calculating unit, and an output unit. The first calculating unit calculates the number of components arranged along two sides, one of which extends in a first direction and the other one of which extends in a second direction, of a minimum rectangle including a transmission component and a reception component. The second calculating unit calculates the number of the components arranged along the two sides at a predetermined arrangement density of relay components. When the number of the relay components is greater than the number of the components calculated by the second calculating unit, the output unit outputs information indicating the presence of a wiring extending in a direction opposite to a direction from the transmission component to the reception component among wirings connecting the transmission component, the reception component, and the relay components.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Akiko Furuya, Nobuaki Kawasoe, Koji Migita, Masato Oota
