Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for coloring (coloring) a drawing such as a plan view and an elevation view created using CAD (Computer Aided Design) and changing a color scheme.

Conventionally, creating a colored drawing by coloring a plan view or an elevation view drawn by CAD is specified for each drawn area / shape, and the color information is used in the drawing process. In order to change the color scheme, an operation of instructing each area and instructing a change color for the area is performed.
In addition, coloring floor plans etc. and using them for presentations is done on a daily basis, but the purpose of coloring is to make it easier to understand the floor plan, the size of the room, the positional relationship of each room, etc. The emphasis is placed on the psychological effects of color, and it has not been effectively expressed as a mind image that captures drawings as visual designs.

  By registering design patterns of different image categories in advance, it is possible to change the design of the plan view by selecting the design pattern, and design the design of each area of the plan view individually. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-151867 is one that attempts to reduce the operation trouble of performing.

JP-A-11-172928

However, according to the method of changing the color scheme of the color drawing as described above, it is necessary to change each color area, and it takes time and effort, and the color scheme change is for each part, and the entire drawing It is difficult to change the color scheme in consideration of the color scheme balance.
In addition, as mentioned above, it is often the primary purpose of coloring to make the drawing easier to see, so the coloring color tends to be a fixed color, and thus the image of the colored drawing is also drawn. It was one and lacked appeal to customers.

  On the other hand, according to Patent Document 1, although it is possible to individually change the design by selecting the constituent members within one image category, it is only possible to change the color scheme with a simple operation while considering the color scheme balance of the entire drawing Can not do.

  Therefore, this application considers color drawings such as plan views as visual designs, places importance on total completeness, and changes the color scheme of the color drawings with a simple one-touch operation by simply selecting pre-stored color schemes. We have developed a system that makes this possible.

In order to solve the above-described problem, the coloring drawing creation system according to claim 1 is a C

Means for creating, means for displaying a color drawings created in the above, is summarized in that to function as means for outputting the displayed color drawings.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a distribution server device that distributes the coloring drawing creation program according to claim 4, based on the drawing created by CAD, in the coloring information, means for defining a color code of each member, and the defined color code On the other hand, in the color (RGB) information, two or more color arrangement patterns capable of selecting the color code of each color code, the color code of each member defined above, and the color color of each color code set as described above Means for storing, means for selecting one color arrangement pattern from the two or more stored color arrangement patterns, color codes of each member defined in the one color arrangement pattern selected, and each color code set Means for coloring each member according to the paint color, and creating a coloring drawing; means for displaying the created coloring drawing;
The gist is provided with means for outputting the displayed coloring drawing and distribution means for distributing in response to a distribution destination distribution request.

  The coloring drawing creation method according to claim 5 is a method of creating a coloring drawing by coloring the drawing drawn by CAD, and based on the drawing created by CAD, the color of each member in the coloring information A step of defining a code; a step of setting a coating color of each member in color (RGB) information for the defined color code; a color code of each defined member and each of the set colors In the step of accumulating the coating color of the code as two or more selectable color arrangement patterns, the step of selecting one color arrangement pattern from the two or more accumulated color arrangement patterns, and the one color arrangement pattern selected above Coloring each member according to the defined color code of each member and the color scheme of each set color code to create a color drawing, and the created color drawing And displaying, and summarized in that and a step of outputting the displayed color drawings.

  According to the present invention, when it is desired to change the color scheme of a chromatic drawing obtained by coloring a drawing created by CAD, a troublesome operation of designating a region of each member and instructing a changed color for the region is performed. In addition, the color scheme of the chromatic drawing can be changed. Even if you want to create multiple color schemes with different color schemes, you can easily create multiple color schemes with different color schemes by simply selecting a color scheme from pre-stored color schemes. Therefore, it is possible to greatly improve the operability for an operator who creates a colored drawing.

  In addition, it is possible to perform color arrangement setting in consideration of the color arrangement balance of the entire chromatic drawing in advance, and accumulate color arrangement patterns based on the color arrangement setting. Therefore, it is possible to create a color drawing that takes into consideration the overall color balance by simply selecting a color scheme from among the pre-stored color schemes. Compared to the conventional method of considering the color balance, a drawing having a high presentation effect can be created very quickly.

  In addition, since it is possible to quickly create a color drawing of a plurality of different color schemes with a simple operation, it is possible to create and present a color drawing accurately and promptly corresponding to each customer depending on the age and preference of the customer. It is possible to provoke potential housing demand by bringing people who have stopped buying homes because their presentations do not match their preferences so far into the housing market.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a coloring drawing creation system of the present invention. In the system according to the present invention, the storage device (2) is connected to the programmed main control unit (1) for controlling the system, and the main control unit (1), as shown in FIG. Includes an input device (3) composed of a pointing device such as a keyboard and a mouse, a display device (4) for monitoring input data and displaying a created color drawing, and an output device (5) for outputting the created color drawing. It is connected.

The main control unit (1) is necessary for operating a control program such as an OS (Operating system) and various means for causing the program according to the present invention to function, as well as a program and a system that define the processing procedure of the means. Various means are stored.
In addition, other components such as an internal memory for temporarily storing various data and hardware and software necessary for operating the computer system and executing the program are naturally included.

  Note that the present system is not limited to the above configuration, and may be another known configuration. That is, a program or a file related to the present system is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM and can be installed and used on another computer, or a distribution server device can be used to request a distribution destination. Depending on the situation, it is possible to download a program or a file related to the present system to a memory of another computer via a network, or to use only the function.

  Prior to the creation of the coloring drawing, a drawing in a state before the coloring process is performed is created by the CAD function of the present system. The CAD drawing to be created is the object of coloring, and the type of drawing is not limited as long as it exhibits the effect of coloring, such as a plan view, an elevation view, an external perspective view, an interior perspective view, and a sectional view. Absent.

  The “coloring information” and “color (RGB) information” according to claims 2 to 5 are information relating to the coloring of the drawing that the drawing created by CAD has in the drawing information. “Coloring information” refers to information about an identification number such as a color code, which is assigned to each member of the drawing so as to be distinguishable from other members. The “color (RGB) information” refers to information about what color is assigned to the identification number. For example, in “color information”, a color code “10001” is assigned to a member of “lawn”, and in “color (RGB) information”, a paint color of “sea green” is set for the color code “10001”. If it is done, the CAD drawing has information that the member of “lawn” in the drawing is colored with “sea green” in the drawing information.

In this way, the color scheme is set such as how to color each member and how to color the entire drawing, and the storage device (2 ). Similarly, one or more color schemes different from this color scheme are set and stored in the storage device (2) as other color schemes. As a result, two or more different color arrangement patterns are stored in the storage device (2). The storage of the color arrangement pattern in the storage device (2) may be performed for each color arrangement pattern or may be performed collectively after completion of the color arrangement settings for all the color arrangement patterns.
As shown in FIG. 4, the color arrangement may be determined in advance by determining the color arrangement pattern and the color arrangement of each member, and setting the color arrangement based on the predetermined color arrangement pattern, or setting the color arrangement according to each drawing. Good.

  Creation of a color drawing obtained by coloring a CAD drawing is automatically performed by selecting one color arrangement pattern from the accumulated color arrangement patterns. Since two or more different color arrangement patterns are accumulated as described above, a desired color arrangement pattern is selected depending on the kind of customer to be presented using the created color drawing. The selection of the color arrangement pattern can be easily performed by operating the input device (3).

When a color arrangement pattern is selected, information about the color arrangement set in the color arrangement pattern, that is, color information and color (RGB) information, each member in the drawing is automatically colored with a color arrangement set in advance. A coloring drawing for the selected color arrangement pattern is created.
The created color drawing is displayed on the display device (4), and the displayed color drawing can be output by the output device (5).

  It should be noted that in the color drawing automatically created by selecting the color arrangement pattern, it is possible to change the color of each member individually by changing the setting of the coating color for the color code of each member.

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The present embodiment relates to a technique for creating a color drawing by selecting a color arrangement pattern for a plan view created by CAD.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a coloring drawing creation system, FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing, FIG. 3A is a diagram showing the definition status of color codes in coloring information, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of color scheme setting for each color scheme, FIG. 5A is a diagram showing a color scheme selection screen, and FIG. 5B is a scheme. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a pattern selection status, FIG. 6A is a diagram showing an image of a color drawing creation result of a color scheme “original”, and FIG. 6B is a diagram showing an image of a color drawing creation result of another color scheme. It is.

  In the figure, (1) is a main control unit, (2) is a storage device, (3) is an input device, (4) is a display device, and (5) is an output device.

Prior to the creation of the coloring drawing, a plan view (drawing X-0) in a state before the coloring process is performed is created by the CAD function of the present system (S201).
For the created drawing X-0, the color arrangement is set (S202) as follows. In the coloring information in the drawing information of the drawing X-0, a color code is defined for each member region. For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the color code “10001” is defined for the member name “lawn”, and the color code “20001” is defined for the member name “flooring”.
Further, a paint color is set in the color (RGB) information of drawing X-0 for the defined color code. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the color code “10001” is set to “Sea Green”, and the color code “20001” is set to “Beige”. To do. For other members such as planting, terraces, tatami mats, plumbing, furniture, etc. that are desired to be colored in drawing X-0, a color code is defined in the coloring information and a coating color is set in the color (RGB) information.

  Thus, the color scheme of the entire drawing is set by the color code defined for each member and the paint color set for each color code. A pattern with this color scheme setting is created as one color scheme, and similarly, several color scheme patterns with different color scheme settings are created. At this time, a color arrangement pattern in which the combination of color arrangements for each member is changed so as to obtain different color arrangement images as a whole is prepared in advance, and color arrangement setting is performed for each color arrangement pattern based on this. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, “original” as a basic coloring image, “natural” as a bright image utilizing the texture, and “clear” as a novel and sophisticated image, as shown in FIG. "Cool casual" is available as a simple and cool image, and "Monotone" is provided as an image with a clear contrast with other figures. Since the color scheme of each member such as lawn and flooring is set for each pattern, based on this, a color code is defined for each member for each pattern, and the coating color of each color code is set. The color scheme pattern does not impair the original role of grasping the floor plan, the size of the room, the positional relationship of each room, etc., and the color has a different effect (image / design taste) on the psychological side. Up.

  Each color arrangement pattern set with the color arrangement is stored in the storage device (2). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, five color arrangement patterns of “original”, “natural”, “clear”, “cool casual”, and “monotone” are accumulated.

  By arbitrarily selecting one color arrangement pattern from the accumulated five color arrangement patterns (S204), a color drawing for the selected color arrangement pattern is created (S205). As shown in FIG. 5A, a screen for selecting the accumulated color arrangement pattern is displayed. As shown in FIG. 5B, the pointer is placed on the desired color arrangement pattern and clicked. One color arrangement pattern can be selected from the accumulated five color arrangement patterns.

  When a color arrangement pattern is selected, each member of the drawing X-0 is automatically colored with a color arrangement preset in the selected color arrangement pattern based on the color information and color (RGB) information of the selected color arrangement pattern. Then, a colored drawing is created. For example, when “Clear” shown in FIG. 4 is selected as the color arrangement pattern, “Clear” is set in advance, such as “Laugh” is “light yellow” and “Flooring” is “Rose”. A drawing in which each member is colored with the selected color is automatically created.

In this embodiment, when one color scheme is selected from the five color schemes of “original”, “natural”, “clear”, “cool casual”, and “monotone”, the patterns shown in FIGS. As described above, the coloring drawings corresponding to the selected color arrangement pattern are automatically created.
The created coloring drawing is displayed on a display device (4) such as a screen. Further, the displayed chromatic drawing can be output as a printout or plotout by an output device (5) such as a printer or plotter.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, several color schemes having different images are registered, and the color scheme of the plan view can be determined or changed with a simple one-touch operation by simply selecting the color scheme when creating a color drawing. You can do it.

  As the color schemes are lined up with images with different psychological effects, the drawings can be developed with various changes, and they can move away from a uniform presentation to other diagrams / photos / characters ( It becomes possible to design proposals in total with explanations. For example, when a colored drawing and a photograph are used together on a single board or paper, by selecting “monotone” as a coloring pattern, it is possible to create a colored drawing that enhances the photograph. In the same "monotone", various colors such as black, dark gray, sepia, indigo, chartreuse, dodger blue, dark orange and deep pink can be developed. It can be used as a main plan view with a key, or a primary color can be used as a key plan (sub) on a photo-centered board.

  In addition, it is possible to develop a design taste that covers a wide range of customer preferences by accumulating a plurality of color schemes having different images by making use of psychological elements among the characteristics of colors. Customers who have diverse needs, lifestyles, and preferences can appeal to a wide range of customers by presenting them with optimally designed visual drawings. From the aspect of accurately grasping the heart of the company, it can make a great contribution to sales activities.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2, FIG. 6 (a), and FIG.
The present embodiment relates to a technique for changing the color arrangement of some members of a color drawing created by selecting a color arrangement pattern for a plan view created by CAD.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing, FIG. 6A is a diagram showing an image of a color drawing creation result of the color scheme “original”, and FIG. It is.

The above-described operations are performed until the creation of a plan view before the coloring process is performed (S201), the definition of the color code of each member, the setting of the coating color of each color code (S202), and the storage of the color arrangement pattern (S203). Similar to Example 1.
In this embodiment, in the selection of the color pattern (S204), the color pattern “original” is selected, and the color drawing is automatically created (S205), and the color drawing as shown in FIG. 6A is displayed on the screen. It is assumed that it is displayed (S206). In addition, it is assumed that the paint color for the color code of the member “car” is previously set to “red” in the color scheme setting for the color scheme “original”.

In the automatically created drawing (FIG. 6A), the member “car” is colored “red”.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, by changing the setting of the paint color for the color code of the member “car” from “red” to “white”, It is possible to change the color from “red” to “white”.
Further, it is possible to output a color drawing in which the color scheme of the member “car” is changed (S207) as in the first embodiment.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible not only to easily create a color drawing and change the color scheme by selecting a color scheme having different images, but also to individually change the color scheme of each member of the selected color scheme. it can. Therefore, when creating a colored drawing by selecting a coloring pattern, even if there is a place where you want to change the color of the member, you can change the color of only the member you want to change, for operators who create colored drawings, etc. It is possible to develop a wide range of coloring without being bound by the pre-stored color scheme.

  Furthermore, for example, even when the color of the “car” in the color drawing created by the pre-stored color scheme is “red”, but the color of the car owned by the customer is actually “white” Thus, only the color of the “car” in the created color drawing can be changed to “white”, and a flexible presentation corresponding to each customer can be made while maintaining the color arrangement balance of the entire drawing.

A system and method for creating a colored drawing by setting a color scheme of each member based on a drawing created by CAD and selecting an accumulated color scheme,
The present invention can be applied not only to a case where a CAD drawing to be created is a plan view but also to any drawing that is presented in a colored manner, such as an elevation view, an external perspective view, an interior perspective view, and a cross-sectional view.
In addition, regarding the selection of the color scheme, it is also possible to provide a system that automatically selects a color scheme that fits the customer in conjunction with the customer's age, preference, and the like.
