Abstract
A wiring inspection apparatus includes a dividing unit, a calculating unit, and an output unit. The dividing unit draws a boundary line in a predetermined area between a transmission component and a reception component, to divide the predetermined area into a first area containing the transmission component and a second area containing the reception component. The transmission component transmits a signal to the reception component via relay components. The calculating unit calculates a number of wirings that connect the components across the boundary line, based on positions of the transmission component, the reception component, and the relay components in the predetermined area. 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, when the number of the wirings calculated by the calculating unit is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.
