  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a reform support system according to an embodiment of the present invention. This reform support system has a form in which a customer (owner) side terminal 1, a contractor side terminal 2, a reform information server 3, a manufacturer side terminal 4, and a computer graphic center side terminal 6 are connected to a communication line 5 such as the Internet. .

  Here, the customer side terminal 1 is used by the client to make a renovation request with the contractor side terminal 2 or to perform communication on a normal transaction.

  In addition, the contractor side terminal 2 collects the merchandise information selected by the owner based on the materials presented by the contractor at the construction site, the measurement information at the construction site, and the imaged image information at the construction site in response to the reform request from the contractor. Then, it is transmitted to the reform information server 3 through the communication line 5. Further, the contractor side terminal 2 receives a computer graphic image of a reform plan diagram created based on the product information, measuring information and captured image information through the communication line 5 from the reform information server 3.

  In addition to the keyboard and pointing device for inputting information, the contractor-side terminal 2 processes a barcode input unit for reading and inputting a barcode for selecting a product on the printed material as the material, and processing the barcode information. CPU (arithmetic processing unit), a processing result and a memory for holding various input / output information. The person in charge on the side of the builder carries a small projector or a large screen that can be used by connecting to the builder side terminal 2 together with the builder side terminal 2 when visiting the owner's house.

  Further, the reform information server 3 is a construction site plan in which the manufacturer's products are arranged on the manufacturer-side terminal 4 based on the product information, measurement information, and captured image information received from the contractor-side terminal 2 through the communication line 5. Request drawing and estimate. Then, computer graphics processing is performed on the obtained reform plan diagram and transmitted to the builder side terminal 2.

  The reform information server 3 enables direct access to the maker side CAD via the maker side terminal 4 via the maker side terminal 4 and the maker side terminal 4, as well as a maker-compatible product selection process prepared in advance in the database, A CPU for performing computer graphic processing of the renovation plan diagram created in FIG.

  Next, the procedure from the reform request to the reform screen creation by the reform support system will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, a customer (owner) transmits a renovation request from the customer terminal 1 to the remodeling company using the communication line 5 such as a telephone or the Internet (step S1), and discusses the outline of the remodeling. When the renovation company accepts the inquiry for the renovation request (step S2), the remodeling company visits the owner's home with the contractor's terminal (notebook computer), portable projector, and large screen at the reserved date (step S3). Then, a specific meeting for the owner and renovation is started at the construction site (step S4).

  During the meeting with the owner, the person in charge on the side of the contractor inputs various conditions relating to the reformation into the terminal 2 on the side of the contractor in accordance with the results of the field survey. In addition, the client selects a desired one out of a plurality of pieces of question information related to furniture (commodities) shown in the printed matter, and reads the barcode written in parallel for each piece of information to the CPU with a barcode reader. Make it. As a result, the customer information regarding the renovation is taken into the contractor side terminal 2. It should be noted that, regardless of the selection of merchandise from such printed matter, there is also a method of opening the application of the “current tone support system” stored in advance on the contractor side terminal 2 and capturing customer information with a pointing device in the same manner as described above. Can be adopted.

  Further, the person in charge on the side of the builder measures the construction site of the renovation and takes a photograph of the construction site using a digital camera (step S5), and takes in the measurement information and the photographed image information to the builder side terminal 2 (step S5). S6). Next, together with these pieces of information, the manufacturer information selected by the customer, the surface color information of the product, the interior type information such as Japanese or Western style, etc. are sent to the reform information server 3 to produce a computer graphic image. A request is made (step S7).

  The reform information server 3 receives this request (step S8), and checks whether there is an error in the received information. If it is a standard plan that can be automatically processed (step S9), the information is sent to a designated manufacturer via a reform plan design system linked to a plurality of product manufacturers. In the case of a special plan that exceeds the automatic processing range, a production request is made to a computer graphic center other than the company, for example, a foreign country (step S10).

  The reform information server 3 receives from the manufacturer side terminal 4 a reform plan and an estimate written automatically by the manufacturer using the reform plan CAD based on the information sent to the manufacturer (steps S11 and S12). Subsequently, the computer graphic system on the reform information server 3 side is activated, and a computer graphic image rendered according to the merchandise selected by the owner and the construction site is created (step S13). It transmits to the terminal 2 (step S14).

  The construction-side terminal 2 at the construction site receives the created image information via the communication line 5 (step S15), and the stereoscopic image of the created image is converted into a large screen using the projector installed at the construction site. Project. Therefore, the person in charge on the construction side can make a presentation while viewing the stereoscopic image together with the owner (step S16). As a result, the owner can clearly grasp the completion status of the renovation including the color image and the spatial image in three dimensions, and can quickly make a decision to start the construction. In addition, since the owner can have a meeting with the person in charge of the remodeling company while staying at the construction site such as home, it is not necessary to visit the remodeling company as many times as before, and the efficiency of the meeting Increases dramatically.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a renovation request is made, the person in charge of the renovation company who accepted the inquiry has taken the case of going to the owner's construction site with the builder's terminal. On the other hand, after carrying out hearing, measuring / site investigation and on-site photography without carrying the builder side terminal 2 (step S17), the information may be taken back to the remodeling company. In this case, these pieces of information can be taken into the in-house contractor side terminal 2 (step S18), and the same computer graphic production request can be sent to the reform information server 3 (step S19).

Further, the reform information server 3 receives this production request (step S20), and further transmits it to the foreign computer graphic center side terminal 6 such as China (step S21). The computer graphic center side terminal 6 accepts the request (step S22), and produces a rendered computer graphic image (step S23). The computer graphic center side terminal 6 returns the completed computer graphic image to the reform information server (step S24). The reform information server 3 that has received this via the communication line 5 further transfers it to the contractor side terminal 2 of the reform company (steps S25 and S26).

  The contractor-side terminal 2 receives the transferred computer graphic image information (step S27), prints it on paper (step S28), and the person in charge takes it to the owner's house for presentation at the construction site. (Step S29).

  In addition, conventional reform design web services are deployed on the websites of each manufacturer. For this reason, the designer on the contractor side needs to obtain the reform information by hitting the homepages of the respective companies in order, and the condition selection on the terminal needs to be set from scratch. Therefore, the designer is biased toward selecting a product of a manufacturer who is good at it.

  However, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, it is necessary to specify the conditions through the site of the product selection system (SA) provided by the reform information server 3 so that the reform CAD of each manufacturer 4A, 4B, 4C can Product information, measuring information, and captured image information are sent. Therefore, the drawing, estimate, and specification data created based on these pieces of information can be acquired by the contractor side terminal 2 via the reform information server 3. That is, the merchandise information and reform data of each company can be extracted by a single input operation.

  In addition, the remodeling CAD of each manufacturer is connected to the production request system of the factory, and can be placed on the production line as it is if ordered. That is, a supply chain management system (SCM) can be constructed in conjunction with each company's system. Thereby, the economic burden due to the installation of the showroom can be avoided, and the design man-hour and the operating cost can be reduced.

  In this way, the product information selected by the owner based on the material presented by the contractor at the construction site, the measurement information at the construction site, and the captured image information at the construction site are transmitted from the terminal on the contractor side through the communication line. Furthermore, the reform information server 3 that has received the request requests the creation of a reform plan diagram and an estimate for the construction site where the manufacturer's products are arranged on the manufacturer side terminal 4 based on the information. Then, the obtained reform plan diagram is subjected to computer graphic processing and transmitted to the builder side terminal 2. Thereby, the reform image information can be three-dimensionally displayed on a large display screen installed at the construction site.

  Therefore, it is possible to carry out a detailed study on remodeling between a remodeling company's installer and the owner, referring to a computer graphic image that matches the reality and taking into account the budget and delivery date. As a result, there is an advantage that it is possible to promptly prompt the owner to determine the renovation contract.

  By communicating between the contractor's terminal using the communication line and the reform information server, the owner remodels the client by presenting the completed form as a three-dimensional image to the owner in a manner in which products are installed at the construction site. Applicable to enable quick decision making.
