Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a presentation material creation system and a presentation material creation method, and more particularly to a presentation material creation system and a presentation material creation method for creating a unique presentation material for each owner when creating a presentation material related to a house. About.

When building a house, a plan is created based on the client's wishes and budget, and this plan is presented to the client for more specific examination.
In the housing plan, the appearance image and layout of the house are presented. In addition, information on exterior materials used in houses, roofing materials, doorway and sash doors, exteriors such as balconies and gates, etc. will be presented, and the plan will be made more concrete by selecting these in turn. Is.

  Exterior materials, interior materials, and furniture used in homes are products that emphasize design, so they are frequently renewed. However, conventional presentation systems can respond immediately to product renewals. There was a problem that not.

In addition, when there is no desired model or product in the presented plan, a number of catalogs are referred to and a desired housing model or material is selected from these catalogs.
Since the catalog has a large number of pages and a large number of products, it has been a great effort to select a desired product from these product groups.

  Since the owner made the plan in a limited time, eventually there was no time and energy to fully consider, and eventually he had to choose from several product groups recommended by the contractor side . As a result, some parts of the client's request could not be included, resulting in unsatisfactory results.

  In addition, as the process proceeds, materials such as design drawings gather, so it is preferable to incorporate them as needed. In addition, as the process proceeds, the client's request often becomes clear or changes in demand. In these cases, it is desirable to update and provide presentation materials at each stage.

  However, in order to update the materials, it was necessary to redo the work of searching for images and the process of pasting these images while considering the layout.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a system has been proposed that takes in the client's request and can accurately and quickly transmit the client's image to the dealer (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2002-15028 A (page 3, FIG. 1)

  In the technique of Patent Literature 1, a storage medium is read by a personal computer of a client, a program is executed, and a favorite housing model is selected by the client. When it is desired to correct the floor plan, it is possible to correct the plan view using CAD software.

Furthermore, catalog information on joinery, furniture, lighting fixtures, etc. is also presented in the program.
By the above program, a house model plan reflecting the owner's image is created and sent to the contractor. The contractor makes further adjustments with the client based on this specification, and the house desired by the client is constructed.

According to the technique of the above-mentioned patent document 1, it becomes possible to grasp a client's request and utilize it for residential construction.
However, in the technique of Patent Document 1, since the owner himself needs to change the floor plan, etc., the request of the owner is reflected, but there is a problem that it takes time on the owner side.
In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to use for those who do not have a personal computer or who are not good at operating a personal computer.

  Moreover, the technique of patent document 1 aims at acquiring a customer, and was not considered about the follow-up in carrying out a plan and the after-sales service after construction.

An object of the present invention is to provide a presentation material creation system and a presentation material creation method capable of making a presentation in accordance with a client's request for a client who wants to build a house and also allowing follow-up after construction. It is to provide.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a presentation material creation system and a presentation material creation method that can be easily updated as the process proceeds.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for creating presentation materials related to a building using a network, wherein the system includes a first image database that stores image data related to the building. And a second computer in which template data of the presentation material is stored. The second computer includes information requested by the owner of the building to the building, and information on the hobby of the owner. The presentation data creating means for selecting the template data based on the request information including, acquiring the image data based on the request information from the first computer, and attaching the image data to the template data. It is solved by having.

  As described above, according to the presentation material creation system of the present invention, the image data is collected intensively by the first computer, so that it is possible to efficiently collect the images used for the presentation of the building. Further, since the image data is centrally managed by the first computer, it may be updated at one place when the product is renewed. Since the presentation material is created by using the image data of the first computer, by adopting the configuration of the present invention, the presentation material does not vary in the newness of the image data and is uniform. Quality presentation materials can be created.

The second computer actually creates the presentation material. The second computer selects model data that suits the client's preference for each client according to the client's request, selects image data according to the client's needs, and attaches this image data to the template data. To create presentation materials.
Therefore, it is possible to create presentation materials that meet the client's needs, respond to preferences, and appeal to the client's heart.

  Since the first computer periodically updates the image database, even if there is a renewal in building materials or the like, it can be immediately reflected in the presentation material.

  The first computer further includes a text database in which text data corresponding to the image data is stored, and presentation material can be created simply by pasting the image data and text data into the template data. It becomes.

  The client's request information is periodically collected by the second computer. As a result, as the process progresses, even when the request is clarified in detail or when the owner's request changes, the request can be taken in early.

  If the request information is regularly updated, presentation materials are created based on the new request information, and it is possible to always present materials that meet the needs of the owner.

  Furthermore, the second computer includes the design drawing data of the building, and the presentation material creation means includes a process of attaching the design drawing data to the template data. When the page is created, a page based on this design drawing can be created, and timely information can be provided to the client.

  In addition, when a client computer connected to the second computer via the network is provided, presentation material created by the second computer can be presented to the client via the network. In addition, the client's request can be transmitted to the second computer via the network.

  The presentation material creation method of the present invention is a method of creating a presentation material related to a building using a network, and includes information requested by the owner of the building from the building and information related to the hobby of the owner. A step of acquiring request information, a step of selecting template data of the presentation material based on the request information, a step of acquiring image data via the network based on the request information, and the selected template And a step of creating a presentation material by combining data and the image data.

  As described above, the presentation material creation method of the present invention includes the step of inputting the client's request, and the template data of the presentation material and the image data to be used are selected based on the client's request. It is possible to create presentation materials in line with

  After the step of acquiring the image data, a step of acquiring text data corresponding to the image data is provided, and in the step of creating the presentation material, a presentation material is created by combining the template data, the image data, and the text data It is preferable.

  In addition, after the step of obtaining the image data, a step of retrieving the design drawing data of the building is provided, and in the step of creating the presentation material, a presentation material is created by combining the template data and the design drawing data. Then, when the design drawing is completed, the information can be incorporated into the presentation material.

  When the request information is periodically acquired and updated, it is preferable that a material in accordance with new request information can be always created.

  After the step of acquiring the request information, the method includes a step of classifying the request information into a plurality of categories. In the step of selecting the template data or the step of acquiring the image data, the category in which the request information is classified Template data or image data corresponding to is selected. As a result, the owner's preferences can be classified into several groups, so that it is possible to more easily select model data and image data.

The method further includes the step of classifying the presentation materials based on either the owner or the main request item of the owner, the status of establishment of the construction contract, or the person in charge of creating the presentation material. It is preferable.
By performing such grouping, the presentation material can be used for after-sales service to customers after construction and for business activities at a later date.

  For example, if presentation materials are classified for each owner, when the owner performs a renovation after several years have elapsed after construction, it is possible to grasp the preferences of the owner by referring to the presentation materials.

  At this time, according to the presentation creation method of the present invention, since the client's request is acquired, and the template data and image data are selected accordingly, the content is appropriately reflecting the client's request, When proposing a renovation plan, it is possible to take appropriate measures based on the needs of the owner in advance.

  Or, if you categorize the presentation materials for each major request item of the owner, you can quickly propose well-developed content by referring to past projects when similar requests are made in different cases It becomes possible to do.

  In addition, if presentation materials are classified according to the status of construction contracts, they can be used as reflection materials, such as what kind of presentations will lead to contracts. It is possible to use the presentation materials of the person in charge with good sales results for new employee education.

  According to the presentation material creation system and the presentation material creation method of the present invention, presentation materials for explaining the construction process are created in the construction of a house. According to the present invention, it is possible to create a presentation material that reflects a client's desire for a house.

  In addition, presentation materials are not created at a single location, but are created by, for example, a plurality of second computers provided for each business location, so more customer information is collected and detailed customer needs are met. It becomes possible to give a presentation.

  At this time, since image data and sentence data collected intensively at one place are used, it is possible to reliably provide the latest information and to ensure uniform quality of the contents.

  Presentation materials will be created to reflect the client's request. In the present invention, the client's request is regularly updated, and a new presentation material is created based on the updated information. Therefore, even if the owner's request is narrowed down in detail or changed as the process progresses, it is possible to create appropriate presentation materials according to the stage.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The members, arrangements, and the like described below are not intended to limit the present invention and can be variously modified within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

1. System Overview The presentation material creation system S of this example creates presentation materials presented to a client by a housing maker.
The presentation material 1 is created to convey the features of the house to owners who are considering buying a house or who have already decided to purchase a house.
In the presentation material creation system S of this example, a request is first presented by the client, and the request material is reflected to create a presentation material 1 unique to each client.

  In this system S, for example, instead of creating a uniform presentation material 1 at a predetermined location such as the headquarters of a house maker, for each office spread throughout the country or for each sales representative, A special presentation material 1 is created to create a material that closely corresponds to the needs of the client.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the presentation material 1 created by the system S. The presentation material 1 is designed not only to explain the house but also to convey the characteristics of the product in an easy-to-understand manner by using a lot of photographs, drawings or image images.

  Also, depending on the client's preference, he selects photographs and image images of building materials, presents a housing plan according to the client's request, and provides information closely related to the client's life, making it more attractive to the client A device has been devised to create a presentation material 1 that is reflected in the image.

  The system S stores contents such as photographs, illustrations, and illustrations as image images. An image that matches the client's preference is used. By incorporating images into presentation materials, it is possible to increase the completeness of the one-only proposal. With these images, customer preferences are embodied, and the images are easily expressed to provide presentation materials that give dreams.

  In addition, it is preferable that a photograph of an on-site construction example is provided as an image image. This is because the owner wants to know what kind of process his house is built in order to meet this demand.

Presentation material 1 is created at the establishment J in charge of each client.
As shown in FIG. 1, the office J has a computer installed. In this example, this computer is referred to as a second computer 20. By the processing of the second computer 20, the presentation material 1 relating to the house is created for each owner.

  The 2nd computer 20 acquires the request regarding a house from a client, and produces the presentation material 1 along this request. The second computer 20 periodically obtains a request from the client and creates materials as needed based on the updated request. As a result, as the construction stage progresses, even if the request becomes clear to the details or the owner's request changes, materials suitable for that stage can be created and an appropriate presentation can be made.

In the presentation material 1, explanation based on images is made. The image is composed of a picture of a house, a plan view, or an image.
Although the image is not an image related to concrete construction, it is used to add color to the presentation material or to image the client's request. It consists of photos of trees.

This system S is configured so that the image data can be acquired and managed in a lump in a computer installed at the head office H of the housing manufacturer, and new image data can always be acquired at the office J by accessing this computer. ing.
In this example, the computer provided in the head office H of the housing manufacturer is referred to as the first computer 10.

The first computer 10 has the latest image data related to its own house model.
The first computer 10 has various image data.
Further, the first computer 10 accesses the computer of the image provider G and obtains image data such as building materials.

  The image provider G is a supplier of building materials or a printing company that creates a catalog of building materials. The computer provided on the image provider G side is referred to as an external computer 40 in this example.

Among the images, there are images relating to housing products themselves and images showing building materials, and these are constantly being renewed. Or it may have been discontinued and always needs to be updated.
Therefore, the first computer 10 periodically visits the external computer 40 to constantly update the image data.

The first computer 10 acquires and manages image data as described above, but simultaneously manages sentence data corresponding to the image data.
The sentence corresponding to the image data is, for example, an explanation of a house model or a sentence explaining the performance of a building member. These sentences may be integrated with the image data, but may be created separately from the image data so that they can be easily updated.
Such text data is collectively managed by the first computer 10.

  In addition to practical sentences that convey performance, there are also sentences that are not directly related to performance, corresponding to image images. In housing catalogs and the like, texts that give a good impression to the owner are described along with image images. For example, in the case of gardening, it is a sentence spelling the enjoyment of gardening and the relationship between gardening and housing. Such sentences are also collectively managed by the first computer 10.

  Each of the computers 10, 20, and 40 is connected by a communication network N such as the Internet, and is configured so that data can be exchanged appropriately at any time and anywhere.

Reference numeral 30 in FIG. 1 denotes a computer on the owner side. Each business owner J is in charge of each owner and follows up on residential construction.
When the owner owns the computer, it is possible to convey the hope through the network N or display the presentation material created at the office while staying at home.

  Specifically, the presentation material 1 created by the system S includes a cover, a greeting page, a client's life plan page, a life event page, a lifestyle page, a client's needs page, a product point page, a peripheral situation page, and an arrangement. Consists of figure page, floor plan page, image exterior page, image interior page, site process page, house component page, house performance explanation page, living environment explanation page, company PR page, after service explanation page, company overview explanation page Has been.

The title and owner name are displayed on the cover.

2. Next, each computer constituting the system will be described.
(1) First Computer As shown in FIG. 3, the first computer 10 includes at least an input unit 11, an output unit 12, a control unit 13, a communication control unit 14, and a storage unit 15.
The storage unit 15 is provided with an image database 15a and a text database 15b. The image data is stored in the image database 15a, and the text data is stored in the text database 15b.

The image database 15a stores image data of a house model of the company, image data of building members acquired from the external computer 40, and image image data representing various images.
The image data is stored in an image file format such as BMP, TIFF, WMF, EMF, GIF, or JPEG. The file format of the image data is preferably unified.

A comment is attached to each image data. The comment is attached as a word indicating the product name or the feature of the product itself.
For example, in the case of an image of a wood grain system kitchen, a comment “system kitchen / wood grain” is attached. Alternatively, in the case of an image of a pink floral curtain, a comment “curtain, floral pattern, pink” is attached.

  Further, not only the image of the member but also the image image is similarly commented. For example, a comment “plant” or “gardening” is added to the image of the plant. Alternatively, a comment “golf” is attached to the golf image.

Further, in the system S of this example, as will be described later, processing for classifying owner information into a plurality of categories and selecting an image suitable for the category is performed.
As the categories, for example, six categories of “natural”, “sporty”, “romantic”, “antique”, “luxury”, and “simple” are provided.

A comment relating to the category is also attached to the image data.
For example, in the case of the above-mentioned “wood grain kitchen” image, the comment “nature” is added in addition to the comment “system kitchen / wood grain”. Depending on the product, a comment “luxury” is attached.

  Other examples include brick-like exterior walls with “outer walls / brick” and “antique”, and floral curtains with “curtains / floral / pink” and “romantic”, with plain beige wallpaper. If there are, the comments “wallpaper / plain / beige” and “simple” are added.

As for the image image, a comment “natural” is attached if it is a plant image, and “sporty” is attached if it is an image of “golf”.
Comments can be input from the properties of the image file.

(2) Second Computer As shown in FIG. 4, the second computer 20 includes at least an input unit 21, an output unit 22, a control unit 23, a communication control unit 24, and a storage unit 25.
The storage unit 25 stores a program for creating presentation materials.
The control unit 23 and the program constitute the presentation material creation means of the present invention, and perform the processes shown in FIGS.

  The storage unit 25 stores a template database 25a for storing template data of presentation materials, a CAD database 25b for storing CAD drawings, a client database 25c for storing client information, and created presentation material data. A peripheral database 25e for storing a data database 25d, map data of a region under the jurisdiction of the office, and explanation data of main facilities in the map is provided. The facility explanation data is composed of image data and explanation text data.

  In this example, the second computer 20 does not have an image database and is configured to read each time a material is created from the first computer 10, but the second computer 20 also has an image database. The data may be periodically read from the first computer 10 at a time.

  As described above, the presentation material 1 created by this system includes a cover page, a greeting page, a client's life plan page, a client's needs page, a product point page, a peripheral situation page, a layout page, a floor plan page, and an image exterior. It consists of a page, a house component page, a house performance explanation page, a living environment explanation page, a company PR page, an after service explanation page, and a company outline explanation page.

The template database 25a stores template data corresponding to the above pages. The template data includes “cover sheet”, “greeting page sheet”, “life plan page sheet”, “life event page sheet”, “lifestyle page sheet”, “needs page sheet”, “product point page sheet”, "Peripheral situation page sheet", "Layout plan page sheet", "Plan view page sheet", "Image exterior page sheet", "Image interior page sheet", "Site process page sheet", "House component page sheet" , “House performance explanation page sheet”, “living environment explanation page sheet”, “company PR page sheet”, “after service explanation page sheet”, and “company outline explanation page sheet”.
In this example, a plurality of types of template data are provided, and data that meets the client's preference is selected.

  Here, an example of model data is shown. FIGS. 5A and 5B show an example of a cover sheet. Thus, in the system S of this example, a plurality of types of sheets are stored even with the cover sheet alone. The template sheet may be selected based on the sense of the person in charge, or may be automatically selected based on the owner information.

When selecting automatically based on the owner information, for example, according to the age of the owner, a cover of a calm color or design is selected as the owner's age increases.
Or it sorts according to the category to which a client belongs.

In this example, natural, sporty, romantic, antique, luxury, and simple are provided as categories as described above.
In each category, a corresponding image color and model data are set, and model data corresponding to the image color is used. For example, if the category is “Natural”, a skin sheet with a color or a pattern reflecting the image of nature is used.

  For the template sheet, for example, when the category is “natural”, the background color of the template is an earth color, or when the category is “simple”, the background color of the template is a monotone color. It is said.

Note that the template data may be different for each office. The template data is created by reflecting the characteristics of the establishment, such as the regional characteristics of the establishment and the customer segment.
For example, in an area where there are many families such as a suburb area of a large city, a template sheet with a character design may be created so that children can enjoy it.
Alternatively, in a business establishment where the age group of the owner is high, it is better to create a template sheet with a calm design.

  The cad database 25b stores cad data. The cad data is data of a layout plan or a plan view of a house, and is created by cad software. Conventionally known software can be used as the CAD software.

The CAD data is stored in an image file format such as BMP, TIFF, WMF, EMF, GIF, or JPEG. In addition, it is preferable that the file format of drawing data is unified.
Drawing data is assigned to drawing data stored in the CAD database 25b.

The owner database 25c stores owner information including request information of the owner.
In the material database 25d, the presentation material 1 created by the system S is stored.

(3) Client computer 30
For example, a personal computer is used as the owner-side computer 30. The owner-side computer 30 includes at least a CPU, an input unit such as a keyboard and a mouse, and an output unit such as a monitor, and is configured to be connectable to the communication network N via the communication control unit. Note that a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a palmtop computer, or a laptop computer may be used as the owner computer 30.

(4) External Computer As described above, the external computer 40 is a computer provided in a building material supplier, a catalog production company, or the like, and image data related to the building material is stored in the storage unit.

  Building materials are materials required when constructing a house. For example, exterior materials, interior materials, roofing materials, exterior materials such as doors and windows, exteriors such as gates and balconies, lighting equipment, furniture, water Surrounding equipment, curtains, carpets, etc.

  Image data and text data acquired from the external computer 40 are transmitted to the first computer 10 via the communication network N. Alternatively, it is stored in a recording medium such as a CD-R or FD, delivered to the first computer 10, and stored in the image database 15a or the text database 15b.

3. Acquisition of owner information The present system S is characterized by the creation of a presentation material 1 unique to the owner, reflecting the preferences of the owner, and therefore it is necessary to collect the owner information in advance.

Examples of information acquired as owner information include the following.
(1) Name of the owner, (2) Current address, (3) New residence address, (4) Family structure, (5) Car presence, (6) Pet presence, (7) Hobby, (8) Home (9) Family events, (10) Family profiles.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a form used when collecting owner information.
The owner information is collected by conducting a questionnaire in advance using such a form. The questionnaire may be paper-based, or may be conducted on e-mail or a homepage.

  As for family events, every year, such as trips, birthdays, and wedding anniversaries, and events that are expected in the future, such as weddings and advancements, can be described. With these event information, it becomes possible to know in more detail the preferences of the family and matters important to the family.

  About family profile, occupation, age, hobby are filled in. This information makes it possible to know the preferences of each family member in more detail.

Hobbies include, for example, golf, gardening, gourmet, computer, reading, music, movies, beauty / fashion, etc. These general hobbies can be selected by checking the check box. Yes.
For other hobbies, check the Other check box and write it in the Other column.

Questions about the exterior, interior, and performance are given to the home.
For interiors, first ask for the overall image, and if there are more specific requests, obtain those requests.
Interior images include chic modern, clear modern, natural, Japanese modern, and European trad.
The specific request is inquired for each room and for each member. For example, as shown, an inquiry is made as to what kind of curtain is desired to be used in the living room.

  These pieces of information do not need to be collected all at once, but it is only necessary to grasp only a favorite interior taste at first and collect detailed information as the process proceeds.

  As for the performance of the house, for example, it must be earthquake-resistant, be a base-isolated house, be able to live for a long time, be a comfortable home for pets, have a suitable room temperature, and have clean indoor air. They have high sound insulation, are friendly to the elderly, have high crime prevention, and can fully enjoy their hobbies. If there are other things, check the Other checkbox and write it in the Other column.

Furthermore, when there are a plurality of items regarding performance, the priority order is asked, and the priority order is determined by the owner.
The client information acquired in this way is stored in the client database 25c of the second computer 20.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the owner database 25c. As described above, the owner database 25c stores information on each item for each owner.
In the owner database 25c, not only the result obtained by the questionnaire but also information obtained through the interview at the time of the meeting is posted. Since images and information to be posted in the presentation material are selected based on such information, it is desirable that more information is collected.

As shown in the figure, since the stages differ depending on the owner, the information collected is also different. For example, for one owner in the figure, a recommended housing model has also been determined, and a layout drawing and a plan view have already been created as a design drawing. If a drawing has been created, the drawing number is also recorded.
For the other owner, the housing model has not yet been determined, and no blueprint has been created.
Since the owner information is updated regularly, the information will be enhanced as the plan progresses.

That is, as the process progresses, the demands are subdivided, such as what you want to do with the color of the wallpaper and what the system kitchen should be.
In addition, the client's request may change along the way.

  For this reason, in this system S, the owner information database 25c is regularly updated. In order to perform the update, a questionnaire may be taken again, or information may be collected through a meeting with the person in charge and input to the owner database 25c.

  The owner information is classified into several categories. As described above, it is preferable to classify the owner information because it is possible to easily and quickly perform the selection when selecting a template sheet of presentation material or selecting a theme color or image.

  FIG. 8 shows examples of categories for classifying owner information. In this example, six categories of “natural”, “sporty”, “romantic”, “antique”, “luxury”, and “simple” are provided.

The owner is classified into one of the above six categories according to the collected information.
Information used when categorizing into categories is information relating to client preferences and hobby information.

Information on preferences is classified based on this selection because the questionnaire shown in FIG. 6 has previously asked which of the above six categories is better.
When classifying by hobby information, for example, it is classified as sporty when the owner's hobby is golf or skiing, and natural when it is gardening.

A theme color is determined for each category, and the presentation material is created by reflecting this theme color.
Furthermore, each category is provided with a plurality of cover sheets, image data, and comments, and can be selected and used for each category as necessary.

  Note that the above categories are merely examples, and other categories may be provided. By providing more categories, it is possible to finely respond to the client's preference. Also, what is provided corresponding to the category is not limited to the cover sheet, but may be provided corresponding to other sheets.

4). Creation of the owner's life plan The presentation material 1 created by the present system S includes the owner's life plan page, and presents what kind of life plan is assumed for each family member.

For this reason, it is necessary to collect information from the owner and create a life plan in advance.
The life plan is created in a period of about 40 years from the present based mainly on the age, sex and occupation of the family.

FIG. 9 is an example of a family life plan composed of a husband (40 years old), a wife (40 years old), a first child (male; 10 years old), and a second child (female; 8 years old).
As shown in the drawing, when creating a life plan, a plurality of cases are assumed based on interviews from the owner, and a plurality of life plans are created.

Case 1 in FIG. 9A is a simulation based on the case where the eldest son lives together until marriage, leaves the home with marriage, and lives again.
Case 2 in FIG. 9B is a simulation based on a case in which the eldest son leaves home with going on to school, and after a while, he lives together again.
The created life plan is stored as data in the client database 25c.

The contents to be posted on the life event page and the lifestyle page are similarly created in advance.
The contents posted on the life event page and the lifestyle page are created by reading from the owner database 25c.
As for life events, events that will be held this year, events that are expected for several years, events that are expected in the future, and the like are posted.
The lifestyle is determined from information in the owner database 25c. There are several lifestyle patterns, such as cozy home, outdoor, and independent family. Then, find the pattern that best applies to each client, and publish text that spells out the lifestyle attractively.

5. Image Data Collection Processing This system S creates presentation material 1 that uses many images. The first computer 10 that acquires and manages image data must always collect the latest image data. is there.

  Hereinafter, the image acquisition process in the first computer 10 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not a certain period has elapsed since the previous update. The image database 11 of this example is regularly updated. For example, data is updated every predetermined period such as every week, every 10 days, every 20 days. This determination is performed by, for example, storing the previous update date and time, comparing the update date and time with the current date and time, and determining whether or not a predetermined number of days have elapsed.

  When it is determined in step S1 that the predetermined period has not elapsed (step S1; No), this process ends. When it is determined in step S1 that the predetermined period has elapsed (step S1; Yes), the process proceeds to step S2, and the external computer 40 that is the information source is accessed.

The external computer 40 is located at a building material supplier or a catalog production company. The building member refers to, for example, exterior materials, interior materials, roof materials, exterior materials such as doors and windows, exteriors such as gates and balconies, lighting fixtures, furniture, watering equipment, curtains, carpets, and the like.
The external computer 40 is placed on the supplier side or the catalog production company side of each of the building members, and holds image data of the building members.

  In step S3, the image data held by each external computer 40 and the image data held by the first computer 10 are compared to verify whether the data is the same. Here, the creation date and time of image data having the same file name is compared.

  As a result of the comparison in step S3, if the image data is the same (step S3; Yes), the process is terminated. When it is determined that the image data is not the same (step S3; No), the process proceeds to step S4.

In step S <b> 4, it is determined whether the image data held by the external computer 40 has a date that is newer than the image data held by the first computer 10.
When it is determined that there is no new data in the external computer 40 (step S4; No), the process is terminated.

  If it is determined that there is new data in the external computer 40 (step S4; Yes), the process proceeds to step S5, where the corresponding data is downloaded and the data is rewritten.

6). Presentation Material Creation Processing Hereinafter, presentation material creation processing in the system S will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
The presentation material creation process is performed in the second computer 20 installed in the office.

Next, in step S12, the name of the owner is read from the owner database 25c.
In step S13, the name of the client is pasted at a predetermined position on the cover sheet, and a title such as “She is a house building plan” is attached.
In this way, a cover page is created.

(2) Creation of Greeting Page Next, a greeting page is created. Although this page does not contain specific information on housing, it is the first page to appear after the cover page, and is an important page that affects the image of the owner.

As shown in FIG. 12, first, in step S21, a greeting page sheet is read from the template database 25a. At this time, according to the category to which the owner belongs, for example, a sheet having a predetermined hue such as an earth color is read.
Next, image data candidates to be pasted on the greeting page are extracted. As the image pasted here, an image that suits the taste of the client is selected.

  Here, an image corresponding to the category to which the owner belongs may be used, but since this page is an important page that affects the overall image of this document, it is better to perform a process of selecting an image more carefully. Therefore, in this example, the following processing is performed.

  First, in step S22, the owner database 25c is referred to, and in step S23, the presence or absence of a pet is determined. When a pet is kept (step S23; Yes), in step S24, pet image data is first extracted as a candidate from the image database 15a.

Next, information on the owner's hobby is read from the owner database 25c.
In step S25, it is determined from the owner information whether the owner has a specific hobby. If the owner has a specific hobby (step S25; Yes), image data corresponding to the hobby is extracted as a candidate from the image database 15a in step S26. For example, a golf image is extracted if the hobby is golf, a gardening image is extracted if the hobby is gardening, and an image of a musical instrument or musical score is extracted if the hobby is music.

In step S27, a general image is extracted. This is extracted as a spare when an appropriate image is not extracted by the processing so far.
In step S28, the extracted image data is displayed as a list. Among these, the image that is most likely to be appreciated by the client is determined by the person in charge of the client.

In this system S, presentation materials are created for each office, and a person in charge corresponding to each owner creates the materials.
For this reason, image data that best matches the client's preference is appropriately selected from the image data that has been narrowed down to a certain extent.

Next, in step S64, the owner database 25c is referred to, and information on the family structure and hobbies is read.
In step S65, the peripheral facility data is read based on the family structure and hobbies. For example, when there are elementary school students and junior high school students in the family, data on the school is read. In addition, in the case of a household that keeps pets, data on animal hospitals and pet shops are read. Furthermore, when the hobby is gardening, for example, data relating to a garden shop or a flower shop is read.

  In order to perform the above processing, comments are attached to image data and text data indicating peripheral facilities. For example, in the case of elementary school data, the comment “elementary school” is attached.

  For family composition data, several points are read to select peripheral facility data. For example, attributes of family members such as elementary school students and junior high school students, hobbies, presence of cars, presence of pets.

When “elementary school student” is included in the family attribute, “elementary school” is extracted as peripheral facility data. The data of “elementary school” is extracted when a character “elementary school student” is included in the family attribute.
Alternatively, when “gardening” is included in the hobby, as described above, data relating to the horticultural shop or the florist is read as the peripheral facility data. That is, the above data is extracted when there is a character “gardening” or “horticulture” in the hobby column.

  As described above, the peripheral facility data is extracted corresponding to specific words of the owner information, and is configured to extract only information necessary for the owner.

In step S66, the map data and the peripheral facility data are pasted at predetermined positions on the peripheral situation page sheet.
In this way, the peripheral situation page is created.

(7) Creation of layout drawing page and plan view page Here, a description will be given of a house to be actually constructed.
In the layout drawing sheet, the positional relationship of the building with respect to the site is shown. Further, the floor plan sheet shows the floor plan in the building.

As shown in FIG. 23, in the presentation material, members are presented according to the preference of the owner, and the owner can further solidify the house plan while referring to the presented members.

  The presentation material 1 is printed out and presented on the screen of the second computer 20. Alternatively, the data is stored in a storage medium such as a CD and transferred to the client, or the data is transmitted to the client computer 30 and displayed on the client computer.

7). Presentation Material Classification The presentation material creation system S of this example is configured such that the created presentation materials are classified by type.
Presentation materials are categorized on the basis of any of the owners, the main request items of the owners, the status of establishment of the construction contract, and the person in charge of the preparation of the presentation materials.
When classifying by owner, for example, the materials are arranged in order of the Japanese syllabary.

  When the presentation materials are classified according to the main request items of the owner, the presentation materials are classified from the owner database 25c based on the points most important to the owner's attention to the house.

  Describing based on the database shown in FIG. 7, for example, presentation materials for a client who lists a comfortable home for pets are extracted, classified, and stored.

  By classifying in this way, when creating presentation materials for clients who have similar requests in the future, it is easy to detect and refer to materials with similar requests from past materials. It becomes possible.

Alternatively, if the presentation materials are classified according to the status of establishment of the construction contract, it can be used as a reflection material such as what kind of presentation is given to the contract.
Moreover, if classified according to the person in charge of creation, it is possible to use the presentation material of the person in charge with good sales results for new employee education and the like.
Further, the presentation material created by the system S may be linked with the in-house educational material. The presentation material in this example can be used as educational back data. Specifically, a part of an image, an illustration, a numerical value, a drawing, a perspective, etc. are used. In addition, it is good to attach a comment to each document about the response of the owner and the establishment / non-establishment of the contract.

By using the presentation material of this example for educational purposes, it is possible to enhance visual suggestion power and image selection judgment power.
At this time, more accurate guidance can be provided by utilizing the comments attached to each material.
