These units form the skeleton of a house by the unit construction method. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of units are facilitated so that a free housing design can be made according to site conditions and lifestyle.

Specifically, seven types of units (25 ceilings or 24 ceilings) differing in size by 450 mm in the girder direction
And a total of 14 subunits whose wive dimensions are 1/2
Kind is basic. Furthermore, by combining with two types of trapezoidal units (all trapezoidal and semi-trapezoidal), it is possible to design a free room plan including a large space without pillars. The dimensions and display data for each unit are stored in the unit / floor DB 25 as the above-described unit attribute data and unit image data.

Next, the operation of the house design support system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the display screens of the customer terminal 5 shown in FIGS. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the house design support system according to the present embodiment. here,
A case where a 1LDK-1 story house is designed as a house by the unit construction method will be described as an example. First, in step S101, the present system is started. Specifically, the customer terminal 5 starts up the system by connecting to a homepage site such as home information of the information server 1 via the Internet 7 or the like. Thereby, the initial screen illustrated in FIG. 4 is displayed on the screen of the customer terminal 5.

FIG. 4 is a diagram exemplifying an initial screen when the system is started according to the present embodiment. At the top of this initial screen, the comment “Before designing the house by the unit construction method, calculate the building area from the site area that houses the customer's house.” Is displayed. Here, step S1
In 02, the building area is calculated from the site area.

This building area is calculated as follows. First, the occupancy rate is determined based on the restricted area (low-rise or middle-rise residential area, industrial area, etc.) according to the City Planning Act, which legally regulates the use and scale of the building. In the present embodiment, the area is set in advance as a low-rise residential area. The control unit 9 of the information server 1 calculates the building area from the building coverage according to the input of the site area.

Clicking the symbol “プ ル ダ ウ ン” on the right side of the site area input box 27 illustrated in FIG. 4 with a mouse or the like displays a value of the site area in a pull-down display. Entered by clicking.
In the example of FIG. 4, the site area XX (m ² ) is input, and the building area YY (m ² ) is calculated and displayed in the building area display column 29. Next, in step S103, the shape of the site and the shape of the building site (shape of the building area) are instructed. As shown in the comment “Instruct the site shape according to the site area described above” in FIG. 4, the site shape is instructed on the floor plan drawing screen 35.

In this embodiment, an area indicated by a dotted line is designated while clicking / dragging a mouse. Here, in the site area count box 31 provided beside the comment, the site area accommodated by the dotted line is displayed, and the value fluctuates according to the movement of the arrow 41 by the mouse click / drag operation. . The control unit 9 of the information server 1 calculates a region within a dotted line according to the mouse operation each time via the Internet 7 and displays the region in the count box 31.

The customer terminal 5 instructs the shape of the site so that the variation value falls within the range of the input site area “XX (m ² )”. In the example of FIG. 4, the result of the site shape instruction indicates that the numerical value of the count box 31 is the same area XX (m ² ) as the site area.

When the button "confirm" 37 is clicked with a mouse or the like after the instruction of the site shape, the dotted line indicating the site shape becomes a solid line, and the instruction of the shape of the building site is awaited. Further, when the button "correction" 39 is clicked with a mouse or the like, the dotted line indicating the designated site shape disappears, and the site shape is in a waiting state.

FIG. 5 is a diagram exemplifying a situation in which the shape of a building site is designated on the initial screen according to the present embodiment. Similar to the instruction on the site shape illustrated in FIG. 4, as shown in the comment “Please instruct the shape and arrangement of the building site according to the building area described above” in FIG. 5, the shape and site of the building site Is instructed on the floor plan creation screen 35.

In this embodiment, an area indicated by a dotted line is designated while clicking / dragging a mouse. Here, in the building area count box 33 provided beside the comment, the building area fluctuates according to the movement of the arrow 41 by the click / drag operation of the mouse. This change in the building area is performed by the control unit 9 of the information server 1 as in the case of the site area.

The customer terminal 5 instructs the shape of the building site within the range of the calculated building area “YY (m ² )” in which the variation value is calculated. The example of FIG. 5 shows that as a result of the shape instruction of the building site, the area YY (m ² ) is the same as the building area. After instructing the shape of the building site, clicking the button “confirm” 37 with a mouse or the like fixes the building site shape, and the step S
Proceed to 104. Also, when the button "correction" 39 is clicked on with a mouse or the like, the dotted line indicating the shape of the designated building site disappears, and the device is in a state of waiting for an instruction.

In step S104, a unit is selected, and the selected unit is moved to the building site designated in step S103 to create a unit layout drawing. Specifically, when the button "confirm" 37 in FIG. 5 is clicked with a mouse or the like, a screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed, and unit selection and arrangement operations are performed. Here, the site area and the building area designated on the floor plan creation screen 35 are displayed on a predetermined scale. According to the scale, a unit bottom view and image data of a room, which will be described later, are displayed. For convenience in display, the degree of these scales may be displayed.

FIG. 6 is a diagram exemplifying a unit selection / arrangement screen according to the present embodiment. This screen is a screen for selecting and arranging a basic unit of a house in the building site designated in step S103. By this processing, the customer can match the building area (illustrated by the dotted line 41) with the total sum of the bottom areas formed by combining the unit bottom surfaces (unit layout diagram). A specific operation will be described. First, a comment “Select a unit displayed on the unit selection screen and arrange it in the building area indicated by the dotted line” is displayed on the unit arrangement screen displayed in the center.

In accordance with the comment, the unit image data (see FIG. 2) stored in the unit / floor DB 25 is displayed on the unit selection screen displayed at the lower right. These data are read by the control unit 9 and displayed on the customer terminal 5 via the Internet 7. The customer terminal 5 selects a predetermined unit from the displayed units by clicking with a mouse or the like.

In response to the click operation, the bottom of the selected unit is displayed on the unit arrangement screen displayed at the center. This is the control unit 9 of the information server 1.
This is because display data indicating the unit bottom surface is created from unit attribute data or unit image data corresponding to the selected unit and displayed on the customer terminal 5 via the Internet 7.

Next, the customer terminal 5 moves and arranges the displayed unit bottom surface in the area (building area) formed by the dotted line 41 while clicking / dragging the displayed unit bottom surface with a mouse or the like. This is because the control unit 9 of the information server 1 moves and displays the unit bottom surface in response to the click / drag operation.

By the above operation, selection and arrangement of units according to the building area and shape designated in step S103 are performed. The unit arrangement screen of FIG.
3, an example is shown in which two units 44 are selected and one unit 45 and one unit 46 are selected and arranged.

In the unit layout screen, the symbols "□" at the four corners on the bottom of each unit indicate cross sections of the columns of the unit. The display of the pillar cross section clarifies the arrangement of the units, and facilitates the assignment of a room to be described later.
Also, in this operation, compared to the building area (dotted line 41),
Although it is necessary that the total bottom area (periphery of the solid line) formed by actually arranging the unit bottom surfaces be small, the operation may be performed using the building area as a guide for unit selection and arrangement.

After the unit selection and arrangement operation, the button "confirm" 47 is clicked with a mouse or the like, and a step S
Proceed to 105. Further, when the button "correction" 49 is clicked, the unit bottom surface selected immediately before disappears from the unit arrangement screen and returns to a state of waiting for unit selection.

Plan (plan view) for the unit layout drawing
Create Specifically, the button “confirm” 47 in FIG.
Is clicked on with a mouse or the like, a screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed, and a room is selected and arranged.

FIG. 7 is a diagram exemplifying a floor plan creation screen according to the present embodiment. In particular, the example of FIG. 7 shows a state in which a floor plan is being created. This screen is a screen for allocating each room to the total bottom area of the unit arranged in step S104. By this processing, the customer can make correspondence between the arrangement of the units, which is the basic structure of the house by the unit construction method, and the arrangement of each room.

On this screen, a comment "Please specify an area within the outer periphery of the dotted line, and then select a room to be arranged in the area from the following items" is displayed. Below the comment, a bottom view of the unit selected and arranged in step S104 is displayed by a dotted line.

Further, below the bottom view of the unit, the items of the rooms constituting the floor plan are displayed. Items include: Living, 2. Dining, 3. 3. Living dining, Kitchen, 5. Counter kitchen,
6. Japanese-style room, 7. Western-style room, 8. 8. Bedroom / Study, 9. Bus, 1

3. Entrance, 14. Stairs, 15. Corridor, 16. Other 1
7. Cancel is displayed. Note that display data indicating a design such as a floorboard corresponding to these rooms is stored in the unit / floor DB 25 as floor plan data.

A specific operation will be described. First, as in the case of the site shape instruction shown in step S103, the user designates an area while clicking / dragging the mouse. Subsequently, any one of the above items is clicked as the room of the designated area. As a result, one room is assigned to one designated area.

Here, a state is shown in which the item "13. Entrance" is clicked after the area 51 is specified, and the item "15. Hallway" is clicked after the area 53 is specified. Also, the case where the item “16. Other” is clicked after the area 55 is designated, and the item “storage” is clicked from the items displayed in the pull-down menu. Further, the room names are displayed as image data of these rooms “entrance”, “hall”, and “storage”.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a floor plan according to the present embodiment. In particular, the example of FIG. 8 shows a state where the floor plan is completed. In this example, tatami, bath, wash basin,
Image data indicating a picture of a room such as a counter and a kitchen is displayed. In the present embodiment, the size of these image data is displayed on the same scale as the scale for the unit. The customer terminal 5 is designed so that the image data fits in the designated area by rotating the image data or the like by operating the mouse or expanding the area of the previously designated room in consideration of the position of the pillar of the unit and the like. I do.

Next, in step S106, a three-dimensional view is created from the displayed floor plan. Specifically, first, the customer terminal 5 clicks a button “Create 3D diagram” 61 on the floor plan creation screen with a mouse or the like. Next, among the unit attribute data stored in the unit / floor DB 25, the control unit 9 of the information server 1 determines the height included in the unit attribute data corresponding to the unit constituting the floor plan, and the displayed floor plan. A three-dimensional view (not shown) is created from the figure. The created three-dimensional view is displayed on the customer terminal 5. When the user clicks the button "Modify" 59, the image data of the room selected immediately before disappears, and the apparatus enters a waiting state.

As described above, the present housing design support system includes:
This is a system that supports the design of houses by the unit construction method. Here, the customer can understand the relationship between the units and the floor plan by freely changing the layout of the units, the layout of the rooms, and the like, which are fundamental in the structure, by repeatedly changing them on the screen. Also, the person in charge of the building maker can know the degree of interest of the customer in the unit house.

In addition, the present housing design support system creates a three-dimensional view corresponding to the floor plan from the floor plan whenever necessary and transfers it to the customer terminal 5. As a result, it is possible to avoid an increase in storage capacity caused by constantly storing the data of the three-dimensional view. In addition, compared to a case where a three-dimensional view is always created according to the creation of the floor plan and is transferred to the customer terminal 5, it is possible to reduce the data transfer amount and speed up the processing.

FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams illustrating other floor plans created by the housing design support system according to the present embodiment. FIGS. 11 and 12 are diagrams illustrating a three-dimensional view created from the floor plan shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. This example shows a design example of a house by a two-story unit construction method, in which the first floor (FIG. 9 or FIG. 11) has 1 L
DK, the second floor (FIG. 10 or FIG. 12) shows a case of 3K floor plan. Note that FIG. 9 shows the one-story one-storey shown in FIG.
A staircase is provided at the "storage" position of the layout of the LDK.

As described above, the customer can allocate a room within the total area of the unit bottom surface in consideration of the arrangement of the column section of the unit. Also, during unit assembly work on site, by removing pillars of predetermined units, etc.
A “hall” can be provided. Further, the floor plans of FIGS. 9 and 10 show cross sections of columns of the unit. The display of this cross section facilitates the assignment of rooms and the arrangement of walls, which can contribute to a realistic house design and further to a realistic space display.

In the examples of FIGS. 11 and 12, pictures such as sofas, beds, desks, tables, walls, windows, and the like are displayed in addition to the floor plan spaces based on the floor plans of FIGS. In this method, image data indicating the picture is stored in advance, and the corresponding image data is displayed according to the selection of the picture after the three-dimensional drawing is created. The embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and a design change or the like may be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. There may be.

For example, in the above embodiment, after the floor plan is completed (see FIG. 8), the button "Create 3D diagram" 6
A three-dimensional view is created in response to one click. The present invention is not limited to this. In the process of creating a floor plan (see, for example, FIG. 7), in response to a click of a button “Create 3D diagram” 61, a three-dimensional diagram corresponding to the floor plan being created is displayed. May be created.

In this case, the three-dimensional view displayed on the customer terminal 5 disappears from the screen in response to, for example, an operation of a keyboard, a mouse or the like. As described above, the customer terminal 5 can return to the floor plan creation screen and design a house while checking the three-dimensional view displayed each time during the creation of the floor plan. In the above embodiment, the unit layout (FIG. 6)
After that, the floor plan (see FIGS. 7 and 8) is created in the area of the layout drawing. The present invention is not limited to this, and the unit layout may be changed during the creation of the floor plan.

Specifically, a button "delete unit" (not shown) for deleting a unit is displayed on the floor plan creation screen.
Is provided in advance. Here, during the creation of the floor plan (see, for example, FIG. 7), one of the units constituting the unit layout drawing is selected by clicking with a mouse or the like, and the button "select unit" is clicked to select the unit. Erase the unit. Thereby, even while the floor plan is being created, the customer terminal 5 can freely change the unit layout drawing and create the floor plan without returning to the previous screen. Further, in consideration of the other modes, a three-dimensional view can be displayed each time. In the above embodiment, units are selected and arranged after calculating the building area and designating the shape of the building site. The present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which the selected units are arranged in a predetermined building area and shape to create a floor plan may be adopted.

In the above embodiment, a floor plan is created after individually selecting units from a plurality of types of units. The present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration may be adopted in which a single type of unit is arranged within the predetermined building area and shape. In this case, step S101 in FIG.
Thereafter, the control unit 9 of the information server 1 calculates the maximum number of units that can be arranged from the predetermined building area and the bottom area of the single unit. Thereafter, the bottom areas for the maximum number of units are displayed on the unit arrangement screen (see FIG. 6). Thereafter, the unit is moved and displayed according to a click / drag operation on the bottom of each unit by the customer terminal 5.

Further, in the case of the above other embodiment, a floor plan corresponding to a general building area and shape such as "2LDK" may be considered instead of the predetermined building area and shape. For example, the general required number of units and the arrangement of the number of units in accordance with the layout are stored in advance, and the required number of units of a single type and the number of units in accordance with the layout instruction from the customer terminal 5 are stored. It can be realized by displaying according to the arrangement.

In the above-described embodiment, in the floor plan creation, image data indicating a predetermined pattern or the like is displayed in the designated area after the area designation. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, a floor plan may be created by directly inputting characters such as "Western-style room" in the designated area. Further, in the above embodiment, the bottom of the unit is created from the unit attribute data and the unit image data relating to the three-dimensional view (see FIG. 2) of each unit, and the unit layout is created. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, the bottom of each unit may be stored as image data, and the unit layout may be directly created.

In any case, the housing design support system of the present invention includes a storage unit (unit / floor DB 25, etc.)
Layout drawing creating means (control section 9 and transmission / reception section 11 etc.),
Floor plan creation means (control unit 9 and transmission / reception unit 11
Etc.), and a three-dimensional drawing creating means (the control unit 9 and the transmission / reception unit 11 etc.).

Here, the storage means stores dimensions and image data of units constituting the house. The layout drawing creating means creates a unit layout drawing corresponding to a predetermined building area and shape from the image data of the unit according to a unit layout instruction or the like. The floor plan creation means responds to the room allocation instruction from the customer terminal 5 with respect to the unit layout drawing,
A floor plan (see FIGS. 8 to 10 and the like) is created, and transmission control to the customer terminal 5 via the Internet 7 is performed. In addition, in response to an instruction to create a three-dimensional view from the customer terminal 5, the three-dimensional view creating unit creates a three-dimensional view from the dimensions of the unit and the floor plan, and controls transmission to the customer terminal 5 via the Internet 7.

Thus, the customer terminal 5 can efficiently create a floor plan simply by selecting a unit. In order to create a realistic floor plan, it is necessary to consider the above-described building area, building site shape, and the like. When creating a unit layout drawing based on these, the customer terminal 5
Can easily create a unit layout diagram by selecting necessary units from the types of units shown on the unit selection screen (see FIG. 6). Since this unit layout diagram is based on units, it limits the degree of freedom in creating a floor plan for the customer terminal 5, and this restriction can improve the efficiency of the floor plan creation operation.

In particular, the layout drawing creating means creates a unit layout drawing including a cross section of the column of the unit. This layout is
It becomes the basis for creating floor plans and three-dimensional drawings, and contributes to housing design using realistic unit construction methods and realistic space display. Further, in the above embodiment, the customer terminal 5 utilizes the function of the support system provided by the information server 1 via the Internet 7. The present invention is not limited to this, and for example, may be realized as a stand-alone system by the information server 1 itself. Specifically, the control unit 9
Creates a floor plan and a three-dimensional view in response to a room assignment instruction and a three-dimensional view creation instruction from the input operation unit 17, and directly displays them on the display unit 19.

In this case, the storage means stores the dimensions and image data of the units constituting the house. The layout drawing creating means creates a unit layout drawing corresponding to a predetermined building area and shape from the image data of the unit in response to a unit layout instruction or the like. The floor plan creating means creates a floor plan in response to an instruction to allocate a room to a unit layout drawing. The three-dimensional drawing creating means creates a three-dimensional drawing from the unit dimensions and the floor plan according to a three-dimensional drawing creation instruction.

In the above-described embodiment, the support function of the housing design by the unit construction method has been described. The present invention is not limited to this, and may be realized as a general house design support system. In this case, the control unit 9 of the information server 1 directly allocates a room to the building area designated in step S103 shown in FIG. 3, and based on the predetermined height corresponding to the "unit height" in the above embodiment. Create a 3D view.

The residence development data search system of the present invention is also realized by a program for causing the residence development data search system to function. This program may be stored on a computer-readable recording medium. A recording medium on which a program for executing the operation of the present system is recorded is stored in the ROM 15 of the information server 1 shown in FIG.
Alternatively, the program may be a CD-ROM drive 21 or the like as an external storage device, and may be a CD-ROM 23 or the like which can be read by inserting a recording medium into the program reading device. The recording medium is a magnetic tape, cassette tape, floppy (registered trademark) disk, hard disk, MO / MD / DV
D or the like, or a semiconductor memory.
