Publication number: 20090235221Abstract: A routing channel displaying method and a computer-accessible storage medium are provided. In the method, a circuit board is divided into m×n blocks which form a matrix with size m×n, and m, n are positive integers. Then, a processing direction is determined by a relative position of a first and a second component of the circuit board. After dividing the blocks into at least one set of processing blocks according to the processing direction, an analysis of the used space rate is sequentially performed on each set of the processing blocks. Finally, all blocks in each set of the processing blocks are labeled according to the result of the analysis of the used space rate so as to display at least one routing channel between the first component and the second component. Thereby, the probability of rerouting is reduced, and the routing efficiency of the circuit board is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2008Publication date: September 17, 2009Applicant: INVENTEC CORPORATIONInventors: Xiao-Jiao Ding, Wen-Kang Fan
