Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a creation support system capable of creating an interior plan of a building such as a house using a personal computer or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When constructing a house, it is common for an interior coordinator to prepare a proposal for an interior plan such as lighting fixtures and curtains while asking the customer's request. Since the interior plan is created after the floor plan of the house is completed, the time given from the request for proposal to the final reply is very limited. Within that short period of time, select the products that meet the required cost and preferences, it is necessary to carry out the creation of the proposal.

[0003]

However, since the above proposal is created by manual cutting and pasting, it takes time to create the proposal. In addition, since it cannot be reused, the same troublesome work must be performed every time. Therefore, most of the labor of the interior coordinator is spent on the cutting and pasting work, and the thinking time for the proposal content to be originally spent is reduced, and it is difficult to create a proposal content with high customer satisfaction. In addition, the interior plan proposal does not have a standard format, and the appearance differs depending on the abilities and senses of the creator. The appearance of the proposal affects the image of the home itself given to the customer. As with the proposals, creating a quote is very time-consuming. Delays in drafting proposals and quotations can lead to competitors leading to lost orders.

[0004] Further, when suggesting interiors, words coming from one category (eg, Modern) have an error in how they are perceived by humans. At the same time, these words
With the change of the times and the change of the fashion, the sense and the sense of image come different. Due to such errors in receiving words, it is difficult to satisfy interior coordination. For this reason, various interior image scales or interior coordination samples have been proposed.
Used in practice. However, even with these images scale and quick reference book, etc., effective classification is difficult, also it is difficult to respond to new products to be developed one after another in a residential equipment manufacturer.

[0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide an interior plan creation support system that can shorten the time for creating an interior plan proposal and an estimate, and improve the quality of the proposal.

[0006]

The present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 corresponding to an embodiment. This interior plan creation support system includes a screen display device (1) for displaying a screen.
And an information processing device (2) for creating an interior plan proposal (3) in which a result of selection of a product to be a predetermined interior component of the building is displayed. (10) and product search means (1
3), a product replacement means (14), and an estimate creation means (17). Model search means (1
0) retrieves a model (21) corresponding to the search condition from the model registration means (18) in which a plurality of models (21) of the interior plan proposal (3) are registered, and retrieves the model (21). Is displayed on the screen display device (1) as a new in-progress proposal (23) for the interior plan. The product search means (13) searches a product database (20) in which a product serving as an interior component is registered for a product according to a search condition, and generates the searched product on the screen display device (1). Medium Proposal (2
This is a means for displaying on the screen displayed 3). The product replacement means (14) displays a product (25) displayed on the screen by the product search means (13) with respect to the proposal under preparation (23) displayed on the screen display device (1).
Is displayed (25) on the product described in the draft proposal (23).
This is a means for replacing or adding to A). The estimate creating means (17) creates an estimate (4) corresponding to the proposal (3) from the contents of the interior plan proposal (3), which is the result of the creation of the above-mentioned proposal (23). It is.

[0007] According to this system, the model search means (10) uses the model (2) of the interior plan proposal (3) according to the search condition from the model registration means (18).
1) is retrieved and displayed on the screen display device (1), and this can be used as a new proposal (23) for creating an interior plan. In this case, the product search means (1
According to 3), a desired product is searched from the product database (20), and the searched product is displayed on the screen of the screen display device (1). The product display (25) thus displayed on the screen can be replaced or added by the product replacement means (14) with the product display (25A) described in the proposal under preparation (23). Thus, the interior plan proposal (3) can be created by replacing or adding a desired product based on the model (21). In addition, the estimate (4) for the created interior plan proposal can be automatically calculated and created by the estimate creating means (17).

As described above, the proposal (3) can be created by replacing the model (21), and the necessary product can be instantly searched and pasted on the screen.
For this reason, proposal creation time is shortened. Proposal (3)
Can automatically generate a quote (4) linked to the above, and the time for creating the quote can be shortened. Automatic generation also eliminates calculation errors. Because of this, the proposed speed is improved, and proposals (3), becomes simple effort of creating a quote (4),
Interior coordinators can spend time on the original proposals. Moreover, since the use of template (21), can be standardized proposal design, individual differences variation in quality can be eliminated by also improves the quality of appearance such proposal (3). As a result, a proposal (3) with high customer satisfaction can be created. The proposal (3) has been converted into electronic data and can be reused.

In the present invention, the predetermined interior components are classified into a plurality of element sections classified as lighting fixtures, curtains, and the like, and the interior plan proposal (3) is created for each element section. it may be so. As the element division, for example, a lighting fixture, a curtain, furniture, and an air conditioner are set. in this way,
When classifying interior components into multiple element categories,
The model (21) is prepared for each of the element sections.

The model (21) of each element section is classified into a unified directional type over a plurality of element sections, and the model search means (10) can search using the directional type as a search condition. Is preferred. For example, the model (21) when the element section is a lighting fixture and the model (21) when the element section is a curtain are classified into unified directional types. In this case, the model searching means (10) for the lighting fixture and the model searching means (10) for the curtain can be searched using the same directional type as a search condition. Thus, the template (21), by classifying the directional type which is unified across multiple elements division, luminaires, curtains etc., per, unified directional interior plan can be created easily.

The above-mentioned orientation types are classified into several orientation groups with respect to the sensibility possessed by a person, and, as a second viewpoint, are classified into two types as to whether or not the realization means is largely related to the building structure. The directional type may be one type specified by the classification results of the two viewpoints. In this way, if the orientation type is classified into two types, that is, whether or not it is related to the building structure, not only the selection of materials and colors and patterns, but also the one that is perfect for the life and image of the family, or Closer ones can be selected, and the living space can be made totally satisfying according to the requirements. Further, it is possible to determine whether or not the latent demand of the customer is largely related to the building structure only by selecting the orientation type. Therefore, if the involvement of the building structure is large, the design of the building structure is given priority, so that the procurement of components and the production of the structural production part of the house can be carried out at an early stage. Furniture, materials, etc. can be determined at an early stage, and work from the pre-stage of building design to the sensibility of building a building can be performed efficiently in a short period of time. In addition, customers do not have to worry about the structure of the building, just select the interior preference,
The above effects can be obtained. The reason why the number of orientation groups is several is that if the classification is more detailed, it is difficult to select and often cannot be narrowed down, and if the classification is rougher than this, it is difficult to obtain the effect of the classification. is there.

It is preferable that the template search means (10) can search sequentially in a hierarchical manner. For example, the orientation type, quality class, product manufacturer, and the like may be hierarchically set as search conditions.

[0013] The product search means (13) may be capable of performing a search using both a search method that includes the above-described orientation type in the search condition and a search method that uses the search condition that does not include the above-described orientation type. preferable.

[0014] For each of the directing types, refer to a total image displayed on the screen display means (1) in such a manner that a diagram of a living space provided with interior components corresponding to the directing type is associated with the name of the directing type. Means (6) may be provided. This makes it possible to match the content of the orientation type classified as the system with the sense of the individual of the customer or the interior coordinator with respect to the words indicating the orientation type. The selection becomes much easier. The total image reference means (6) may be capable of printing out a drawing of a living space provided with interior components according to the orientation type. The printed matter may be attached to the interior plan proposal as a diagram of the total image.

FIGS. 8 to 10 show specific examples of the processing performed by the total image reference means 6 of FIG. When the total image referring means 6 is executed by the creation section selecting means 7, the interior image scale 51 shown in FIG. The interior image scale 51 is provided on a screen with six individual orientation type displays 53 each indicating the orientation of the interior, arranged in a matrix of three columns and two rows.

The orientation of the interior was analyzed by analyzing the tendency of orientation on a conventional general image scale, and a unique classification was adopted. That is, as a first aspect, as well as classified into three directional groups 54A~54C to the viewpoint of sensitivity possessed by the human, as a second aspect, implementation means is a viewpoint whether the building structure is greater involvement They were classified into two broad categories 55A and 55B according to two configurations and decorations. The broadly divided types 55A and 55B for each configuration / decoration are each divided into the two sensitivity-oriented directing groups 54A to 54C. One type specified by the classification results of both viewpoints is the directional type indicated by each directional type display 53. Incidentally, classification by the two viewpoints are not necessarily be completely separated, the overlapping range occurs. The orientation type display 53 is arranged in the same column for each orientation group 54A to 54C for each sensibility, and arranged in the same row for each major type 55A and 55B for each configuration and decoration.

The orientation groups 54A to 54C for each sensibility are:
Nature-oriented group 54A and emotion-oriented group 54B
And a style-oriented group 54C. In a second aspect, it distinguishes whether is greater involved in building structures, columns, beams, openings, or strong involved in basic structure and components of the living space, such as a built-in furniture, or relatively simple They are distinguished by whether they are strongly involved in decorating the space with fittings, furniture and furniture. Note that, as shown in FIG. 9, the roughly classified types 55A and 55B according to the configuration / decoration are given the names “composition” and “inner” as the roughly classified type names, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 8, each directional type display 53
Is given a unique name, and is shown by its name 56, a schematic description 57 of the directional type, and FIG. 59 of a typical living space included in the directional type. The outline description 57 is shown by one phrase. For example, a directional type display 5 that belongs to the nature-oriented group 54A and belongs to the roughly classified type 55B of the decoration main body
3 is the name 56 of "elementary" and "a refreshing natural feeling"
, And FIG. 59 of a plurality of living spaces. Figure 59 of the living space, even in the photograph, may be illustrations. The names, schematic descriptions, and drawings of the living spaces of the other directional type displays 53 are illustrated on the respective drawings such as FIG. 8, and thus description thereof will be omitted. In addition, each directional type display 5
An example of the content of the directivity type indicated by 3 is shown in the table of FIG. The table shown in FIG. 9 is used for explanation together with the interior image scale 51 of FIG. 8 and is shown on the screen.

Such an interior image scale 5
By using No. 1, it is possible to match the content of the orientation type classified in this interior plan creation support system with the sense of the individual of the customer or the interior coordinator for the words indicating the orientation type, and the later model 21 Selection and product selection become easier. The total image reference means 6 may print out a drawing of a living space provided with interior components according to the orientation type. The printed matter may be attached to the interior plan proposal 3 as a diagram of a total image.

FIGS. 11 to 22 show screen examples and operation examples when any one of the element division-specific plan preparation units 5 is selected and confirmed by the preparation division selection means 7 of FIG. Specifically, this is an example of a case where the lighting fixture plan creating unit is selected.
When the display of “illumination equipment” is selected and confirmed in the opening menu of FIG. 7, a plan menu asking for a creation method is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. As menu contents, there are shown processes of new creation, creation from a template, creation from a past plan (recreate previous data), and end. Regardless of the creation method, the new plan information screen is first displayed on the screen display device 1 as shown in FIG.
Enter the management number, owner's name, image, interior coordinator's name, record type, reception time, etc. in the blank or dummy entry fields, and then turn on the complete key switch. . The above-mentioned image is a directional type, and is selected from the above-mentioned six directional types.

When creation from a template is selected, FIG.
As shown in the figure, a screen for a template search is displayed. The model search means 10 (FIG. 1) is capable of sequentially searching according to hierarchically determined categories.
It is a directional type. On the template search screen, there are three buttons of “image”, “class”, and “manufacturer” as category selection means. When the “image” button is turned on, a predetermined display area is displayed as shown in FIG. , each oriented type names are indicated. Click on the type name to which the model you want to use belongs to
The name of the selected directivity type is displayed in a blank corresponding to the “image” button (FIG. 14A). Thus, the directional type of the search condition is set. Similarly to the above, search conditions are set for the class and the maker (FIG. 8B).

When the search condition is determined and the "key search" button on the screen is pressed, a model 21 (FIG. 1) matching the search condition is searched from the model registration means 18, and the searched one is searched. One or more templates 21 are displayed in a predetermined area of the screen as shown in FIG. When a desired model 21 is clicked on this screen, the model 21 is selected. When the "load" button is pressed in this selected state, the selected model 21 is displayed on the screen as a draft proposal 23 as shown in FIG. This proposal under preparation 23 has already displayed the product display 25A. If you want to change the product, search for the product.

[0046] The search of the goods is carried out in the search screen portion 28 that is displayed on a part of the screen of the screen display device 1. products are,
Like the model, the product is registered in the product database 20 (FIG. 1) by being classified into categories according to hierarchy, and can be searched hierarchically by the product search means 13. FIG.
As shown in (A), when the button of the first layer is pressed, each type of display of that layer is displayed in a predetermined display area Q. The first hierarchy is the above-mentioned directional types, and the names of the six directional types are displayed. When you click on the name,
The display is inverted to a selected state, and the selected name is displayed on the button of the hierarchy. As a result, the highest selection condition is set. Similarly, the types in each of the second and lower layers are sequentially set ((B) in the figure). With all the desired search conditions set,
When the "product search" button is pressed, the product database 20
A product is searched from (FIG. 1), and a display 25 of each product corresponding to the search condition is displayed in a predetermined display area Q (FIG. 1).
7 (C)).

The product search by the product search means 13 can be a hierarchical search including the above-described orientation type in the search condition, and a condition search specifying a plurality of search conditions separately from the orientation type and the hierarchy. . Description of this condition search is omitted.

The change of the product is performed by drag and drop as shown in FIG. 18 with the display 25 of the searched product displayed on the screen as described above. In this case,
First, the display 2 of the product to be changed in the proposal 23 under preparation
5A is selected by clicking the mouse or the like (assuming that the display 25A of the product shaded in the figure is selected). Thereafter, the display 25 of the desired product found in the search is selected with a mouse or the like, and the selected display 25 is dropped on an arbitrary portion of the proposal 23 under preparation which is a layout screen. As a result, the display 25A of the product to be changed is replaced with the display 25 of the dropped product.
