<Embodiment>
Hereinafter, an ordering system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an ordering system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The ordering system 1 is a system in which a user 1A (owner) who newly constructs or remodels a house orders a work such as remodeling. The ordering system 1 includes an ordering terminal device 10, an order prediction device 20 </ b> A, an ordering terminal device 20 </ b> B, and a contractor terminal device 40. The order terminal device 10, the order prediction device 20A, the order terminal device 20B, and the contractor terminal device 40 are communicably connected via a network (NW). The ordering terminal device 10 is composed of, for example, a tablet terminal or a PC (Personal Computer). The order receiving prediction device 20A, the order receiving terminal device 20B, and the contractor terminal device 40 are configured by, for example, a PC or a server terminal device.

  The ordering terminal device 10 displays the living space of the user 1A as a 2D or 3D image (residential space image), and can aggregate a plurality of types of water facilities at an arbitrary position on the living space image. Provides a function to display equipment images in an overlapping manner. Using this function, the user 1A performs a simulation of installing the aggregate facility at an arbitrary position in the living space and plans the layout of the living space. Further, the ordering terminal device 10 performs an estimate calculation of an amount necessary for realizing the living space planned by the user 1A. The user 1A can refer to the estimated amount during planning of the living space. Moreover, the terminal device 10 for ordering will produce the ordering information provided to a contractor, if the planning of the living space by the user 1A is completed.

  The order prediction device 20A acquires layout information of a living space that is being planned by the user 1A, stores the layout information, and predicts an order. The layout information includes information such as the type of the water facility selected by the user 1A, the installation position of the aggregate facility that aggregates these water facilities, the installation direction, and the like. The order prediction device 20A is an information processing device owned (or managed) by the manufacturer of the aggregation facility. The manufacturer employee 2A (hereinafter referred to as the manufacturer 2A) refers to the layout information stored in the order prediction device 20A to determine what aggregation equipment the user 1A is purchasing and arranging at home. In addition, it is possible to grasp in real time which location in the living space the aggregate facility is to be arranged in, and for example, it can be used to determine whether or not a new order for the aggregate facility is generated.

  The order receiving terminal device 20B acquires the ordering information transmitted by the ordering terminal device 10. The order receiving terminal device 20B is, for example, an information processing device owned (or managed) by the manufacturer of the aggregation facility. When the order receiving terminal device 20B obtains the ordering information (that is, receives an order for the aggregate facility), the manufacturer 2A arranges the shipment of the aggregate facility ordered by the user 1A, for example. Further, when the order receiving terminal device 20B acquires the ordering information, the order receiving terminal device 20B transmits information for requesting the installation work of the aggregate facility to the information processing device (construction contractor terminal device 40) included in the ordering information. Further, the order receiving terminal device 20B is connected to the inventory management system of the aggregation facility, and can recognize the inventory status of the aggregation facility ordered by the user 1A.

  The contractor terminal device 40 obtains installation construction request information from the order receiving terminal device 20B. The construction company employee 4A (hereinafter referred to as the construction contractor 4A) arranges the construction when the construction contractor terminal device 40 acquires the request information for the installation construction.

  In general, water facilities such as toilets, bathtubs, kitchens, and the like are restricted by the laying situation of piping (underfloor piping), and therefore cannot always be placed at a desired position desired by the user 1A. However, the aggregation facility according to the present embodiment can be freely arranged regardless of the pipe laying situation. Next, the aggregation facility will be described.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an aggregation facility in one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows an example of the aggregation facility 30. The aggregation facility 30 includes a water supply / drain pipe 31, a pressure pump 32, a standing unit 33, a ceiling unit 34, a flush toilet 35, and a bathtub 36. The standing unit 33 and the ceiling unit 34 that stand from the floor are formed in a substantially L shape. The standing unit 33 is an infrastructure tower, for example, and is formed of a hollow cylinder having a horizontal cross section having a predetermined width in the vertical and horizontal directions, and extends independently in the vertical direction from the floor surface. The ceiling unit 34 is formed of a cylindrical body disposed in a substantially horizontal direction, and one end is connected to the upper end portion of the standing unit 33 and the other end portion is connected to the frame wall 6. The ceiling unit 34 is installed on the lower side with a slight gap from a beam of a ceiling slab forming a ceiling surface (not shown), but may be installed in contact with the ceiling surface. The ceiling unit 34 and the standing unit 33 may have a cylindrical configuration in which a frame such as a square cylindrical frame is covered with a panel, or may have a frameless structure in which four surfaces are formed only by a high-rigidity panel. The standing unit 33 and the ceiling unit 34 are not limited to a substantially rectangular tube shape, and their cross-sectional shapes such as a substantially cylindrical shape and other polygonal tube shapes can be arbitrarily set.

  For example, a bathtub 36 supported by the standing unit 33 is installed in a space partitioned by the standing unit 33 and the ceiling unit 34 and the housing wall 6. The bathtub 36 is connected to the standing unit 33 so as to be able to stand and fall, for example. As shown in FIG. 2, the bathtub 36 is a movable bathtub that can be bathed in a lying state placed on the floor surface 2 and is stored in a state of standing substantially parallel to the standing unit 33. Further, for example, a flush toilet 35 is connected to the side surface of the standing unit 33 opposite to the bathtub 36 so as to be able to stand and fall. The flush toilet 35 is rotatably installed at a position higher than the floor surface of the standing unit 33, can be used in a state of being tilted horizontally, and is stored in a standing state in parallel to the standing unit 33.

The standing unit 33 stores a pressure pump 32 and a water supply / drainage pipe 31. The pressure pump 32 pumps the waste water from the flush toilet 35 and the bathtub 36. The water supply / drainage pipe 31 stores a water supply pipe, a hot water supply pipe, a drainage pipe, a duct, electrical wiring, and the like. For example, the drain pipe sends out the waste water pumped by the pressure pump 32 to the ceiling unit 34 side. The ceiling unit 34 stores a water supply pipe, a hot water supply pipe, a drain pipe, a duct, electrical wiring, and the like. Each of the pipes stored in the ceiling unit 34 is connected to a water supply pipe or a drain pipe stored in a pipe shaft provided in the building. As described above, the water supply / drainage to the aggregation facility 30 is performed through the water supply / drainage pipes stored in the pipe shaft, the standing unit 33, and the ceiling unit 34. In general, the water supply equipment is installed in consideration of the position of the piping under the floor, so it cannot be installed in a free position. However, if the aggregation facility 30 is used, it can be connected to the pipe shaft via the ceiling side, so that the watering facility can be arranged at any position regardless of the piping position under the floor. Further, when installing the aggregation facility 30, it is only necessary to connect pipes via the ceiling side, and it can be performed easily and quickly compared to the conventional installation operation of the water facilities. Note that the length and shape of the ceiling unit 34 can be designed and produced flexibly according to the positional relationship between the position where the user places the aggregation facility 30 and the pipe shaft provided in the residence.
In the example of FIG. 2, the aggregation facility 30 includes a flush toilet 35 and a bathtub 36 as a water supply facility, but may include a kitchen, a wash basin, and the like.

There are the following advantages when the aggregation facility 30 is adopted as the water facility installed in the living space. For example, the aggregation facility 30 is a compact aggregation of a plurality of types of water facilities, and it only needs to have a relatively small space for installation, and can be installed at a free position. In addition, in the case of conventional watering equipment, there are many specialized craftsmen for each of the bathtub, toilet, kitchen, etc., and it takes time to adjust the schedule of each craftsman, or if the schedule does not match, There is a problem of becoming longer. On the other hand, in the case of the aggregation facility 30, since it can be installed by one craftsman, problems such as schedule adjustment of craftsmen do not occur. In addition, in the case of conventional watering equipment, since there is a connection between the construction of installing a bathtub, toilet, kitchen, etc. and the construction of laying piping, it took a lot of time and labor to make prior adjustments. . On the other hand, in the case of the aggregation facility 30, it is only necessary to carry in the aggregation facility 30 manufactured on the manufacturer side, install it at a predetermined position, and guide the piping to the ceiling side. The construction can be completed.
Thus, there are few uncertain elements in the installation work of the aggregation facility 30, and an accurate and transparent estimate can be made about the cost and work period required for the installation work. Moreover, since the burden of installation work is small, the construction cost can be kept low.
In the present embodiment, the ordering system 1 that draws out these advantages of the aggregation facility 30 and leads to a transparent estimate and efficient installation work is provided.

The contractor determination unit 144 determines the contractor 4A that performs the installation work of the aggregation facility 30.
The residence location information acquisition unit 145 acquires residence location information indicating the location of the building where the user 1A performs reconstruction or the like.
The construction execution prediction information acquisition unit 146 acquires information related to the execution of the installation work of the aggregation facility 30 at the installation position determined by the installation determination unit 142. The information related to the execution of the installation work of the aggregation facility 30 is, for example, schedule information such as a date when the installation work can be started, and information such as a date when the aggregation facility 30 can be shipped.

The estimate information acquisition unit 147 acquires various information used for estimate calculation. For example, the estimated information acquisition unit 147 acquires the height information of the living space. For example, the estimated information acquisition unit 147 acquires information on the installation position of the aggregation facility 30 and the installation position of the pipe shaft in the living space.
The estimate calculation unit 148 calculates the order amount included in the order information generated by the order information generation unit 143 based on the height of the aggregation facility 30 based on the height of the living space.

The simulator unit 149 displays the living space image and the aggregated facility image on the display screen of the ordering terminal device 10. Further, based on the operation of the user 1A, the simulator unit 149 displays an image in which the image of the aggregation facility 30 is displayed in the direction specified by the user 1A at the position specified by the user 1A in the living space image. The simulator unit 149 displays the order amount calculated by the estimate calculation unit 148.

Each of the estimate calculation unit 148 and the simulator unit 149 is a function provided in the control unit 14 when the CPU included in the ordering terminal device 10 executes a program recorded in the storage unit 13.

FIG. 4 is a first diagram illustrating order information generation processing according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 shows an example of how to combine the water facilities to the aggregation facility 30. Moreover, the process in which the equipment determination part 141 determines the aggregation equipment 30 based on operation of the user 1A is demonstrated using FIG.
FIG. 4A shows an aggregation facility 30 when a flush toilet 35, a bathtub 36, a wash basin 37, and a kitchen 38 are installed around the standing unit 33.
FIG. 4B shows an aggregation facility 30 in the case where a flush toilet 35, a bathtub 36, and a wash basin 37 are installed around the standing unit 33.
FIG. 4C shows an aggregation facility 30 when a flush toilet 35 and a bathtub 36 are installed around the standing unit 33.
For example, the equipment determination unit 141 displays a block-shaped image indicating the standing unit 33 at the center of the display screen. Moreover, the installation determination part 141 displays the block-shaped image which shows each of the flush toilet 35, the bathtub 36, the washstand 37, and the kitchen 38, for example in the outer periphery vicinity of a display screen. From this state, the user 1A selects the water facility to be combined with the aggregation facility 30. For example, the user 1A selects, by a touch operation, one corresponding to the water facility to be combined with the aggregation facility 30 from the block-shaped images displayed near the outer edge of the display screen. Next, the user 1A determines the installation position of the selected watering facility. For example, the user 1A touches again the block-shaped image corresponding to the water facility for which the installation position is determined, and then the image of the standing unit 33 (block-shaped image) displayed in the center of the display screen. Touch the side of the surroundings where the water supply equipment is installed. Then, the equipment determination unit 141 displays an image (a collection of block-like images) in which the selected water supply equipment is installed on the side touched by the user 1A (for example, illustrated in FIGS. 4A to 4C). Image similar to the aggregation facility 30).

  Note that the combinations shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C are examples. For example, in FIG. 4A, the installation positions of the bathtub 36 and the washstand 37 may be switched. Further, for example, in FIG. 4B, a kitchen 38 may be installed instead of the washstand 37. Moreover, for example, in FIG. 4C, a wash basin 37 may be installed instead of the installation position of the bathtub 36.

  In this way, the user 1 </ b> A inputs the water facilities (combination) to be installed in the aggregation facility 30 and its installation position (how to combine). When the input is completed, the equipment determining unit 141 is a part of the aggregate facility 30 (configuration of the aggregate facility 30) to be ordered based on the combination of the plurality of types of water facilities input by the user 1A and the combination method. To decide. When the facility determining unit 141 determines a part of the aggregate facility 30, a part of the order information generated by the order information generating unit 143 is determined. That is, what kind of watering equipment is required to order the aggregate equipment 30 from the manufacturer, and the price according to the watering equipment to be combined is determined. The remaining part of the aggregation facility 30 will be described with reference to FIG.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the process in which the facility determining unit 141 determines the aggregated facility 30 based on the operation of the user 1A, and the process in which the installation determining unit 142 determines the installation position of the aggregated facility 30 based on the operation of the user 1A. Will be described.
FIG. 5 is a second diagram illustrating the order information generation process according to the embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 shows an example of a living space image displayed by the simulator unit 149. For example, the user 1 </ b> A inputs floor plan information of a living space for new construction or renovation to the ordering terminal device 10 via the input / output unit 11. The floor plan information includes position information (coordinate information) such as a wall, a pillar, a floor, a ceiling, a pipe shaft provided in a building, and a distribution board when the living space is represented in a three-dimensional coordinate system. The simulator unit 149 generates an image showing the living space in 3D (or 2D) based on the input floor plan information, and displays the image on the display screen (input / output unit 11) of the ordering terminal device 10. . Next, the simulator unit 149 arranges the aggregated facility image 30A corresponding to the aggregated facility 30 determined by the facility determining unit 141 in the manner described using FIG. 4 on the living space image. FIG. 5 shows an example of the living space image and the aggregated facility image 30 </ b> A displayed by the simulator unit 149.

The aggregate facility image 30A shown in FIG. 5 is an image corresponding to the aggregate facility 30 when the flush toilet 35, the bathtub 36, the wash basin 37, and the kitchen 38 illustrated in FIG. 4A are installed.
For example, the simulator unit 149 displays the aggregated facility image 30A near the center of the living space image. The user 1A can move or rotate the aggregated facility image 30A to an arbitrary position. For example, when the display screen is a touch panel, the user 1A drags to a desired position and releases his / her finger while touching the aggregated facility image 30A. Then, the simulator unit 149 changes the display position of the aggregated equipment image 30A to the position designated by the user 1A (position where the finger is released). Further, when rotating the aggregated equipment image 30A, for example, the user 1A touches a position near the center of the aggregated equipment image 30A with one finger and touches a part of the aggregated equipment image 30A with another finger. Then, the finger touched near the center is rotated in a desired direction. Then, the simulator unit 149 rotates and displays the arrangement direction of the aggregated facility image 30A in the direction specified by the user 1A. Thus, when the user 1A moves the aggregated facility image 30A, the installation determining unit 142 determines the installation position and the installation direction of the aggregated facility 30. Specifically, the installation determining unit 142 calculates the coordinate information of the installation position of the aggregated equipment image 30A, and further calculates the positional relationship between the calculated coordinate information and the coordinate information such as the surrounding walls and doors. Thereby, a part of the order information generated by the order information generation unit 143 is determined. That is, it is determined where to install the aggregation facility 30 which is necessary for ordering the construction work from the contractor. When the installation determining unit 142 determines the installation position of the aggregation facility 30, the facility determination unit 141 determines the remaining part of the aggregation facility 30. Specifically, the facility determination unit 141 calculates the height of the ceiling at the installation position of the aggregation facility 30 and the distance from the installation position of the aggregation facility 30 to the pipe shaft 50 based on the respective coordinate information. When the facility determining unit 141 calculates the height of the ceiling and the distance to the pipe shaft 50, the remaining part of the configuration of the aggregate facility 30 to be ordered is determined. The remaining part is the height of the standing unit 33 and the length of the ceiling unit 34. When the equipment determining unit 141 determines the height of the standing unit 33 and the length of the ceiling unit 34, a part of the order information generated by the order information generating unit 143 is determined. That is, the price according to the size of the standing unit 33 and the ceiling unit 34 included in the aggregation facility 30 and the size of the standing unit 33 and the ceiling unit 34 that are necessary for ordering the aggregation facility 30 from the manufacturer is determined. For example, the taller the standing unit 33 is, the higher the ceiling, the higher the price of the aggregation facility 30. Further, the longer the distance to the pipe shaft 50, the longer the ceiling unit 34 becomes, and the price of the aggregation facility 30 increases.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the effect of the ordering system according to the embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 6 (a) shows an example of the ratio of the cost required for the installation work of a conventional water supply facility.
In a conventional ordering method for installation work, the contractor 4A generally estimates and presents the price. For example, the contractor 4A estimates the cost of facilities such as a bath, toilet, and kitchen. Further, the construction contractor 4A estimates a construction cost including labor costs and various expenses necessary for the installation work of the equipment, and adds the construction cost to the equipment cost. Then, the contractor 4A presents the added amount to the user 1A. In the example shown in FIG. 6A, when the amount to be presented to the user 1A is 100%, the equipment cost is 50% and the construction cost is 50%.

FIG. 6B shows an example of the ratio of costs for installation work using the aggregation facility 30.
In the case of installation work using the aggregation facility 30, the manufacturer 2A determines a price including the work cost with the user 1A. That is, the ordering system 1 performs an estimate calculation of the amount including the construction cost for the integrated facility 30 planned by the user 1A and presents the amount. If the user 1A is satisfied with the presented amount and places an order, the manufacturer 2A charges the user 1A for the amount of the estimated calculation. The manufacturer 2A pays a part (construction cost) of the amount charged to the user 1A to the construction contractor 4A. In the example shown in FIG. 6B, when the amount charged to the user 1A is 100%, the construction cost paid to the contractor 4A is 20%, and the manufacturer's sales are 80% of the total. This indicates that the installation work of the aggregation facility 30 is simple and can be performed in a short construction period, so that it can be reduced in price compared to the conventional installation work. In addition, there are few uncertain elements in the installation work of the aggregation facility 30, and if the installation position and installation direction of the aggregation facility 30 are determined, the construction cost for the installation work can be accurately estimated. Therefore, the maker 2A can determine the amount including the construction cost on the maker side without requesting the construction contractor 4A to estimate. By presenting the amount including the construction cost in this way, the cost for installing the aggregation facility 30 becomes clear for the user 1A, and there is a suspicion that the amount of money more than necessary is charged, You can get rid of the anxiety that you will be charged for the additional amount when you finish.

  In addition, since the construction cost can be kept low, the total cost for installing the aggregation equipment 30 can be reduced compared to the conventional construction of the water supply equipment, which improves the price competitiveness for the manufacturer. be able to. In addition, for the contractor 4A, although the sales per construction will decrease, not only the installation work, but the effort and time taken for the preparation will be significantly less than the conventional installation work, thus improving the sales efficiency. Can be made. In addition, the user can perform reconstruction or the like at a low cost, and the life in a new living space can be started earlier by shortening the construction period.

Next, the flow of the order information generation process will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of order information generation processing according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As a premise, the user 1A downloads an application program used for planning and ordering of the aggregation facility 30 from the website of the manufacturer 2A that manufactures and sells the aggregation facility 30, and installs it on his / her own tablet terminal or the like. Yes. This tablet terminal is the ordering terminal device 10. The application program includes a program that demonstrates the functions of the equipment determination unit 141 to the simulator unit 149.

  First, the user 1A starts an application program and performs an operation for instructing the start of planning. Then, the simulator unit 149 starts a planning process (step S11). First, the simulator unit 149 displays an image of an input screen that prompts the user 1A to input attribute information (family structure, etc.), floor plan information of a living space for planning, and the like. The user 1 </ b> A inputs these pieces of information to the ordering terminal device 10.

  Next, the equipment determination unit 141 displays an image of an input screen that prompts the user to select the water supply equipment to be installed in the aggregation equipment 30 and in which direction to install the selected water supply equipment. For example, the equipment determination unit 141 displays a screen as described with reference to FIG. The user 1 </ b> A inputs a combination of water facilities installed in the aggregation facility 30 and a combination method thereof. The input / output unit 11 acquires information input by the user 1 </ b> A and outputs the information to the equipment determination unit 141. The equipment determination unit 141 determines a plurality of water facilities installed in the aggregation equipment 30 (step S12).

  Next, the simulator unit 149 displays the living space image on the display screen based on the floor plan information input by the user 1A. Further, the simulator unit 149 displays the aggregated equipment image 30A on the display screen. When the user 1A performs an operation of changing or rotating the position of the aggregation facility 30, the simulator unit 149 changes and displays the installation position and orientation of the aggregation facility image 30A. When the simulator unit 149 changes the installation position and orientation of the aggregate facility image 30A, the installation determination unit 142 determines the installation position of the aggregate facility 30 (step S13). Moreover, the installation determination part 142 determines the installation direction of the aggregation equipment 30 similarly. Specifically, the installation determining unit 142 generates information indicating where to install the aggregate facility 30 from the coordinate information of the aggregate facility image 30A. For example, the installation determination unit 142 generates information such that the aggregation facility 30 is installed in a direction in which the surface provided with the bathtub 36 is parallel to the wall X, separated from the wall X by Y cm. The installation determination unit 142 outputs information on the determined installation position and installation direction of the aggregation facility 30 to the order information generation unit 143.

  Next, the facility determination unit 141 determines the aggregate facility (step S14). Specifically, the facility determination unit 141 is coordinate information of the living space image displayed by the simulator unit 149 indicating the height of the ceiling at the installation position of the aggregation facility 30 and the distance from the installation position of the aggregation facility 30 to the pipe shaft 50. Calculate based on The facility determination unit 141 determines the height of the standing unit 33 and the length of the ceiling unit 34 when the height of the ceiling and the distance to the pipe shaft 50 are calculated. By determining the combination information of the water facilities determined in step S12, the height of the standing unit 33, and the length of the ceiling unit 34, the configuration (specification) of the aggregation facility 30 is determined. The facility determination unit 141 outputs the determined configuration information of the aggregation facility 30 (watering facility to be combined, height of the standing unit 33, length of the ceiling unit 34) to the order information generation unit 143.

  Next, the estimate calculation unit 148 calculates the estimated amount (step S15). First, the estimate information acquisition unit 147 acquires information necessary for estimate calculation. Specifically, the estimated information acquisition unit 147 includes information on the type (model number, etc.) of the water facilities to be combined with the aggregated facility 30 from the facility determining unit 141, information on the height of the standing unit 33, and the length of the ceiling unit 34. Get information. The estimate information acquisition unit 147 outputs the acquired information to the estimate calculation unit 148. The estimate calculation unit 148 estimates the price of the aggregation facility 30 based on the combined water facilities, the height of the standing unit 33, and the length of the ceiling unit 34. For example, the storage unit 13 stores price information such as “bus X1 yen”, “toilet X2 yen”, “kitchen X3 yen” in association with, for example, the types of water facilities, and the estimate calculation unit 148 Then, the price information of each water facility combined with the aggregation facility 30 is read from the storage unit 13 and totaled (price α). In addition, for example, the storage unit 13 stores price information such as “height Y1 to Y2 X4 yen” and “height Y2 to Y3 X5 yen” in association with the height of the standing unit 33, and estimates are calculated. The unit 148 reads price information corresponding to the height of the standing unit 33 determined by the facility determining unit 141 from the storage unit 13 (price β). In addition, for example, the storage unit 13 stores price information such as “length Z1 to Z2 X6 yen” and “length Z2 to Z3 X7 yen” in association with the length of the ceiling unit 34, and estimates are calculated. The unit 148 reads price information corresponding to the length of the ceiling unit 34 determined by the facility determining unit 141 from the storage unit 13 (price γ). The estimate calculation unit 148 calculates the price of the aggregation facility 30 by adding the price α, the price β, and the price γ. Further, the estimate calculation unit 148 calculates a construction cost for the installation work of the aggregation facility 30. For example, the storage unit 13 records the construction cost according to the time and difficulty of the installation work, and the estimation calculation unit 148 indicates, for example, the installation position of the aggregation facility 30 determined by the installation determination unit 142. Calculate the time and difficulty of installation work based on the information (for example, it takes more time to install on the second floor than to install on the first floor, or there is a beam in the middle when the distance from the pipe shaft 50 is long If so difficult). The estimate calculation unit 148 reads the construction cost information corresponding to the calculated difficulty level from the storage unit 13 and adds it to the price of the aggregation facility 30. The added value is the final estimated amount. The estimate calculation unit 148 outputs the calculated estimated amount to the order information generation unit 143 and the simulator unit 149. The simulator unit 149 displays the estimated amount on the display screen. The user 1A who is satisfied with the estimated amount inputs the date on which the installation work is desired to the ordering terminal device 10. When the estimated amount is not convinced, the user 1A can perform planning many times.

  Next, the contractor determination unit 144 determines a contractor that performs the installation work of the aggregation facility 30 (step S16). For example, when the user 1A has determined a contractor in advance and the user 1A inputs the information of the contractor 4A to the ordering terminal device 10, the contractor determination unit 144 selects the contractor who performs the installation work as the user 1A. Is determined by the construction contractor 4A. Moreover, the contractor determination unit 144 may select a contractor based on the address of the building where the installation work is performed. For example, in the storage unit 13, the list information of the contractors is recorded in association with the address. When the user 1A inputs the address information of the building where the installation work is to be performed, the residence position information acquisition unit 145 acquires the address information and outputs the information to the contractor determination unit 144. Next, the contractor determination unit 144 selects, for example, the contractor 4A existing at the address closest to the address of the building where the installation work is performed, and determines the contractor as the contractor 4A that performs the installation work. Moreover, the contractor determination unit 144 may select the contractor 4A based on the schedule of the contractor, the inventory status of the aggregation facility 30, and the like. For example, the construction execution prediction information acquisition unit 146 periodically inquires the contractor terminal device 40 of each contractor 4A to acquire schedule information of each contractor 4A. Then, the contractor determination unit 144 selects a contractor 4A that has a free schedule during the work period desired by the user 1A. Alternatively, the construction execution prediction information acquisition unit 146 inquires of the order receiving terminal device 20B about the inventory status of the aggregation facility 30 and the time when the production can be completed and shipped, and acquires the information. And the construction contractor determination part 144 may select the construction contractor 4A which has an empty schedule at the time when the aggregation equipment 30 can be delivered. When the contractor determination unit 144 determines the contractor 4A, the contractor determination unit 144 outputs information on the contractor 4A (contact information such as name, address, and mail address) and schedule information for performing the installation work to the order information generation unit 143.

  Finally, the order information generation unit 143 generates order information including information on the configuration of the aggregation facility 30, the installation position, the estimated amount, the contractor 4A, and the schedule (step S17). When the order information is generated, the order terminal device 10 transmits the generated order information to the manufacturer's order terminal device 20B. As described above, according to the ordering system 1 of the present embodiment, the user 1A can perform planning of a desired living space, estimation including construction costs, and the like without involving the contractor 4A.

Next, the overall flow of the ordering process using the ordering system 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of ordering processing according to an embodiment of the present invention.
First, the user 1A plans a living space using the ordering terminal device 10 (step S21). The planning process for the living space has already been described with reference to FIG. When the user 1A can create a layout of a favorite living space, the user 1A can save the layout information (regardless of whether the layout is finally ordered). For example, a “save button” is displayed on the display screen, and the user 1A performs an operation of pressing the save button at an arbitrary timing when a favorite layout is made. Then, the installation determination unit 142 determines the installation position and installation direction of the aggregation facility 30, and the facility determination unit 141 determines the configuration of the aggregation facility 30. The control unit 14 records layout information including the configuration information of the aggregate facility 30 determined by the facility determination unit 141 and the like in the storage unit 13, and the communication unit 12 transmits the recorded layout information to the order prediction device 20A. (Step S22).

  The order prediction device 20A receives the layout information transmitted from the ordering terminal device 10, and writes and stores the received information in the storage unit of the own device. Next, the order prediction device 20A performs order preparation processing for the aggregation facility 30 included in the layout information being planned by the user 1A (step S23). For example, the order prediction device 20A estimates whether or not there is a high possibility of an order based on an estimation model that estimates the accuracy of the order. When it is estimated that there is a high possibility of receiving an order, the order receiving prediction apparatus 20A confirms the stock status of the water facilities to be combined with the aggregation facility 30 under planning, and if there is no stock, the production of those water facilities is performed. You may schedule. In this way, the user 1A acquires the layout information being planned and performs the order preparation process, so that the manufacturer can deliver the aggregation facility 30 to the user 1A with a short delivery time without having extra inventory. .

  On the other hand, in the ordering terminal device 10, the user 1A continues planning. When the final layout is determined, the installation determination unit 142 determines the installation position and installation direction of the aggregation facility 30, and the facility determination unit 141 determines the aggregation facility. Further, the estimate calculation unit 148 calculates the estimated amount. In addition, the construction execution prediction information acquisition unit 146 inquires the delivery date of the aggregation facility 30 to the order receiving terminal device 20B (step S24). The order receiving terminal device 20B responds with a delivery date (step S26). In addition, the construction execution prediction information acquisition unit 146 inquires of the contractor terminal device 40 about a schedule that allows installation work (step S25). The contractor terminal device 40 responds about the schedule (step S27). When the delivery date of the aggregation facility 30 and the schedule information of the contractor 4A are acquired, the order information generation unit 143 generates order information (step S28). The order information generation unit 143 outputs the order information to the communication unit 12, and the communication unit 12 transmits the order information to the order receiving terminal device 20B (step S29). When receiving the ordering information, the order receiving terminal device 20B transmits the construction request information to the construction contractor terminal device 40 of the construction contractor 4A designated by the ordering information (step S30). The construction request information includes, for example, the configuration of the aggregation facility 30, the installation position, the installation direction, the schedule information of the installation work, and the like. Upon receiving the construction request, the construction contractor 4A goes to the building where the installation work is to be performed for a final confirmation and conducts a site survey (step S31). In the conventional installation of water facilities, the contractor 4A had to conduct on-site inspections many times. However, when the aggregation facility 30 is used, installation takes less time, so the number of on-site inspections can be reduced. Yes (for example, once). The manufacturer 2A sends the ordered aggregation equipment 30 to the site (step S32), and the construction contractor 4A performs installation work for the aggregation equipment 30 (step S33).

  According to the ordering system 1 of the present embodiment, the user 1A can refer to the estimated amount in real time while planning the living space using the ordering terminal device 10. In addition, the estimated amount includes construction costs, and additional work that is not known at the time of estimation is necessary due to on-site surveys by the contractor, etc., so it will not be higher than at the time of estimation. Can be ordered. In addition, since the manufacturer 2A can obtain the layout information under planning before the order information is transmitted by the user 1A, the manufacturer 2A can grasp in advance what kind of aggregate equipment 30 is to be ordered, Production control can be performed. Further, by omitting various adjustments between the user 1A and the contractor 4A, the installation work of the aggregation facility 30 can be provided to the user 1A with a short delivery time and at a low price, and competitiveness is improved.

In the above embodiment, the case where the application program having each function of the control unit 14 is installed in the ordering terminal device 10 has been described as an example. However, for example, the control is performed by the order receiving terminal device 20B. An embodiment in which an application program having each function of the unit 14 is installed and a planning function for a living space is provided as a Web service via a network such as the Internet to a tablet terminal or a PC owned by the user 1A may be used.
In FIG. 8 and the like, the ordering information generated by the ordering information generation unit 143 is described as an example in which the information on the construction contractor 4A determined by the contractor determination unit 144 is included. Then, you may comprise so that the ordering information which does not include the information of the construction contractor 4A may be transmitted to the order receiving terminal device 20B without determining the construction contractor 4A. In that case, for example, the manufacturer 2A confirms the ordering information received by the order receiving terminal device 20B, and introduces an appropriate construction contractor 4A to the user 1A. If the agreement of the user 1A is obtained, the manufacturer 2A performs an operation input for transmitting the construction request information to the contractor 4A to the order receiving terminal device 20B. Then, the order receiving terminal device 20B transmits construction request information to the construction contractor terminal device 40 of the construction contractor 4A introduced by the manufacturer 2A.

  Note that the ordering terminal device 10, the order prediction device 20A, the order receiving terminal device 20B, and the contractor terminal device 40 have a computer system therein. Each process in the ordering terminal device 10 and the like described above is stored in a computer-readable recording medium in the form of a program, and the above-described processing is performed by the computer reading and executing this program. . Here, the computer-readable recording medium is a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a semiconductor memory, or the like. Alternatively, the computer program may be distributed to the computer via a communication line, and the computer that has received the distribution may execute the program.

  The program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above. Furthermore, what can implement | achieve the function mentioned above in combination with the program already recorded on the computer system, what is called a difference file (difference program) may be sufficient.
