  Exemplary embodiments of a three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment device, a three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment method, and a three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment program according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The three-dimensional CAD data detail concealment apparatus according to the first embodiment is used as a collaborative design support apparatus that can control the disclosure level of design data. The data used in the three-dimensional CAD data detail concealment device may be either a standard format or a CAD native format.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment apparatus according to the first embodiment includes a cooperative design unit 101, a shared server 102, and a reference unit 103. The collaborative design unit 101 is a device for performing collaborative design. The shared server 102 is a file server placed on the network, and a previously authorized user stores a data file or the like and refers to stored detailed data. The reference unit 103 refers to a data file stored in the shared server 102. The cooperative design unit 101 and the reference unit 103 can be configured by the same CAD terminal.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the collaborative design unit 101. As shown in FIG. 2, the collaborative design unit 101 includes a design CAD unit 201, a point data conversion unit 202, and a detailed concealment unit 203.

  The design CAD unit 201 is a normal CAD, and generates CAD shape data. The point data conversion unit 202 converts the CAD shape data so that all geometric data (geometric information) is expressed by points. That is, the normal three-dimensional CAD data includes analytical expressions such as an arc curve and a cylindrical curved surface in addition to the geometric information expressed only by the control points. However, it is known that these can be accurately converted into expressions such as rational Bezier curves and rational Bezier curved surfaces. Using this conversion, it is possible to convert all geometric information of CAD into information of only control points. By converting the geometric information in the CAD shape data into only point data by this conversion, point data can be obtained. The detailed concealment unit 203 performs detailed concealment processing on the data converted into point data by the point data conversion unit 202.

  Hereinafter, the process of the detailed concealment unit 203 will be described in detail. Here, an example using mirror image conversion is shown.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the shape of CAD data is expressed by points on a plane.
Next, this plane is divided by straight lines A, B, and C as shown in FIG. The straight lines A, B, and C are parallel to each other, and the distance between the straight line A and the straight line B is equal to the distance between the straight line B and the straight line C. In this state, it is assumed that all the points between the straight line A and the straight line C move to the mirror image position of the straight line B in order to conceal the details. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the detailed information is lost and concealed by moving the point between the straight line A and the straight line C. By changing the interval between the straight line A and the straight line C, the concealment range can be changed and the degree of concealment can be changed. Therefore, by adjusting this range, only the details of the shape can be concealed and the approximate shape can be maintained. In this example, exactly the same conversion is directly converted into the inverse conversion.

  Note that, here, the points on the plane have been described, but when the points are arranged in a three-dimensional space, the straight lines A, B, and C that are parallel to each other at the same interval described above are converted into planes that are parallel at the same interval. By reinterpreting it, it can be processed in exactly the same way.

  The detailed concealment unit 203 can further adjust the conversion method and parameters, and the concealment state can be confirmed by returning the converted data to the design CAD unit 201. By exchanging data between the design CAD unit 201 and the detailed concealment unit 203, the concealment can be adjusted to an appropriate amount. Further, the detailed concealment unit 203 can input and output the conversion method and parameters in the form of a file and the like, and can perform inverse conversion with the information.

  Next, a detailed 3D CAD data concealment processing procedure by the 3D CAD data detailed concealment device according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the procedure of this three-dimensional CAD data detail concealment process. Here, an example in the case of operating in collaborative design is shown.

  It is assumed that there are a plurality of designers having the collaborative design unit 101 shown in FIG. First, the designer selects whether to design from the beginning (step S601). When designing from the beginning (step S601: Yes), the process proceeds to step S604. On the other hand, when not designing from the beginning (step S601: No), the process proceeds to step S602.

  When designing from the beginning in step S601 (step S601: Yes), the designer performs initial design (step S604), performs appropriate conversion (concealment processing) on the data (step S605), and is shared. Place it on the server 102 (step S606). Thereafter, the designer selects whether to end the design (step S607). Here, when the design is finished (step S607: Yes), the process is finished. On the other hand, when the design is not finished (step S607: No), the process proceeds to step S602.

  On the other hand, when not designing from the beginning in step S601 (step S601: No), the designer acquires data from the shared server 102 (step S602), and performs reverse conversion on this data in the detailed concealment unit 203 (step S603). ) Get the original shape of the data. Thereafter, the processing after step S604 described above is performed. By performing the processing after step S604, it is possible to replace the data on the shared server 102 by performing the same concealment after performing the same conversion after correcting the shape of the data.

  By such a procedure, it is possible to refer to the detailed shape of data among designers who can execute a common detail concealment conversion process. On the other hand, a reference person who is not a designer (a person who cannot execute a common conversion process) cannot execute a common detailed concealment conversion process, and therefore cannot refer to the detailed shape of data. That is, it becomes possible to control the disclosure level of design data and to perform collaborative design. In addition, only a part of data in a file including a plurality of shapes can be secured.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, if not only the designer but also the referr who is expected to only refer to the data can write the design data to the shared server, when the referrer falsifies the data, It is desirable that the designer can detect the situation immediately. In the second embodiment, an example of a three-dimensional CAD data detail concealment device that can detect falsification of data is shown.

  The configuration of the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment device of the second embodiment is the same as that shown in the first embodiment. In the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment device of the second embodiment, for example, the original data is the one shown in FIG. 4, and when this is converted as shown in FIG. 5 as in the first embodiment, If tampering is performed to move in parallel as shown in FIG. 7, the result of the inverse transformation is as shown in FIG. Since this clearly does not match the original data, it can be recognized immediately that the falsification has been made by comparing the results of the inverse transformation.

  The 3D CAD data detail concealment processing procedure by the 3D CAD data detail concealment device of the second embodiment will be described below. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the three-dimensional CAD data detail concealment process. Here too, an example of operating in collaborative design is shown.

  First, the designer selects whether or not to design from the beginning (step S901). When designing from the beginning (step S901: Yes), the process proceeds to step S905. On the other hand, when not designing from the beginning (step S901: No), the process proceeds to step S902.

  When designing from the beginning in step S901 (step S901: Yes), the designer performs initial design (step S905), performs appropriate conversion (concealment processing) on the data (step S906), and is shared. It is placed on the server 102 (step S907). Thereafter, the designer selects whether to end the design (step S908). Here, when the design is finished (step S908: Yes), the process is finished. On the other hand, when the design is not finished (step S908: No), the process proceeds to step S902.

  On the other hand, when not designing from the beginning in step S901 (step S901: No), the designer acquires data from the shared server 102 (step S902), and performs reverse conversion on the data by the detailed concealment unit 203 (step S903). ) After confirming that the data is not falsified by the detailed concealment unit 203 (step S904), the original shape of the data is obtained. Thereafter, the processing after step S905 described above is performed. By performing the processing after step S905, the data on the shared server 102 can be exchanged by performing the same concealment after the data shape correction and performing the same concealment.

  By performing the processing as described above, it becomes possible to perform collaborative design in which the design data disclosure level can be controlled and the design data can be easily checked for falsification.

(Embodiment 3)
The three-dimensional CAD data detail concealment apparatus of this embodiment also performs cooperative design. However, unlike what was shown in Embodiment 1, the detailed concealment process was performed several times with respect to the same object, and the data concealment accuracy was further improved. The configuration of the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment device of the third embodiment is the same as that shown in the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the processing of this three-dimensional CAD data detail concealment device will be described.

  In this three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment apparatus, as shown in FIG. 10, the shape of the CAD data is converted into straight lines D, E, and F in addition to straight lines A, B, and C. In addition, by performing a transformation that creates a space where no points can exist after transformation, a space that originally does not have points can be created and a point can be placed there. For this reason, decoding can be made more difficult by increasing the noise. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, a region surrounded by straight lines A and B is considered. Conversion is performed to bring the points in the line A toward the straight line A side at a certain ratio. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, no point exists in the area surrounded by the straight line C and the straight line B. It is possible to realize further difficulty in deciphering by setting information that causes noise in this blank portion and setting the information to be ignored during reverse conversion. The above processing is performed by the detail concealment unit 203.

  Hereinafter, the procedure of the conversion process in the detail concealment unit 203 of the three-dimensional CAD data detail concealment apparatus according to the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the procedure of this conversion process. First, in the flowchart of FIG. 13, conversion is performed toward the straight line A side (step S1301). Subsequently, conversion to the straight line B side is performed (step S1302).

  Next, the procedure of the inverse transformation process in the detail concealment unit 203 of the three-dimensional CAD data detail concealment device according to the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the inverse conversion process. In the flowchart of FIG. 14, first, inverse conversion of conversion to the straight line B side is performed (step S1401). Subsequently, the inverse conversion of the conversion approaching the straight line A is performed (step S1402).

  By performing the processing as described above, the accuracy of information concealment can be further improved as compared with the case of the first embodiment.

(Embodiment 4)
The three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment device of the fourth embodiment is for using designed data as a three-dimensional product catalog on a public server in a short time. As shown in FIG. 15, the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment apparatus includes a 3D design unit 1501, a public server 1502, and a product reference unit 1503. The 3D design unit 1501 is a device for designing 3D CAD data. The public server 1502 is a file server placed on a widely open network such as the Internet, and can be written only by the 3D design unit 1501. The product reference unit 1503 is a viewer that can read the format of data released from the 3D design unit 1501.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the 3D design unit 1501 includes a design CAD unit 1601, a point data conversion unit 1602, and a detailed concealment unit 1603. These parts are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  Next, processing in the detailed concealment unit 1603 constituting the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment device of the fourth embodiment will be described in detail.

  Usually, on a computer, a real value is represented by a floating-point number whose mantissa represented by a binary number has a fixed length. This is temporarily converted to a binary fixed point length that can represent all the mantissa digits. Next, in order to conceal the details with a binary fixed point, a plurality of digits that are not necessary for the outline shape information in the point data coordinate values but indicate details are selected. An arbitrary bit string having only the length of this digit is prepared, and the point data coordinate value is converted by taking an exclusive OR with respect to the point data coordinate value converted into the binary fixed point. If this is expressed as a real value, it becomes a coordinate value in which information is lost, and details can be hidden. Note that the digit and bit string used for information omission are the keys for detailed concealment. On the other hand, if the key consisting of this bit string and digit is used, the original detailed shape can be accurately obtained from the data concealed in detail.

  Subsequently, a 3D CAD data detailed concealment processing procedure by the 3D CAD data detailed concealment apparatus of the fourth embodiment will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the three-dimensional CAD data detail concealment process.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 17, the designer first designs (step S1701). Specifically, the design CAD unit 1601 creates 3D product design data. Next, in step S1701, the designer selects what is desired to be product catalog data from the 3D product design data, and the point data conversion unit 1602 converts the data into a point data and the detailed concealment unit 1603 hides the details of the product design so as not to leak. Is performed (step S1702). Finally, the data subjected to the detailed concealment process in step S1702 is placed on the public server 1502 (step S1703).

  By doing in this way, for the catalog reference who is not permitted to refer to the data, even when accessing the public server 1502, the detailed information is kept secret, and only the outline of the data can be referred to. As a result, catalog data can be provided almost simultaneously with the design, and the data placed on the public server 1502 is data that has been appropriately concealed by the designer, so that no security problem occurs.

  As described above, according to the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment device and the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment method according to the present invention, between designers capable of executing a common detailed concealment conversion process, Although it is possible to refer to the detailed shape, a reference person who is not the designer (who cannot execute the common conversion process) cannot refer to the detailed shape of the data. That is, it becomes possible to control the disclosure level of design data and to perform collaborative design.

  The three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment method described in this embodiment can be realized by executing a program prepared in advance on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. This program is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, an MO, and a DVD, and is executed by being read from the recording medium by the computer. Further, this program may be a transmission medium that can be distributed via a network such as the Internet.

  As described above, the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment device, the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment method, and the three-dimensional CAD data detailed concealment program according to the present invention are useful for concealing three-dimensional CAD data.
