Each of the plurality of display parameters includes a first parameter for identifying a construction target of the surface layer material, and a characteristic of the surface layer material (eg, interior / exterior decorative plate) disposed in an arrangement region that is at least a part of the construction target. And a third parameter representing the characteristics of the light irradiated to the arrangement region. The plurality of display parameter sets acquired by the parameter acquisition unit 110 are different from each other in one or more set values of the first to third parameters.

  The display data acquisition unit 120 acquires display data corresponding to each of the plurality of display parameter sets using each of the plurality of display parameter sets acquired by the parameter acquisition unit 110. This display data is obtained by arranging the surface layer material corresponding to the second parameter on the construction target corresponding to the first parameter under the condition that the light corresponding to the third parameter is irradiated to the construction target corresponding to the first parameter.

Hereinafter, the case where the information processing apparatus 10 is realized by a combination of hardware and software will be further described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 10.

  The information processing apparatus 10 includes a bus 101, a processor 102, a memory 103, a storage device 104, an input / output interface 105, and a network interface 106. The bus 101 is a data transmission path through which the processor 102, the memory 103, the storage device 104, the input / output interface 105, and the network interface 106 transmit / receive data to / from each other.

The storage device 104 may store a database that stores display data generated by a simulation apparatus (not shown).

[Operation example]
Hereinafter, a specific operation will be described with reference to an example of a screen having two display areas for displaying display data. In the following, an example is shown in which display data to be operated is displayed in the display area on the left side of the screen, and display data for comparison is displayed in the display area on the right side of the screen. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific examples described below.

<Basic operation flow>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a basic operation flow of the information processing apparatus 10.

  First, when an application activation operation (for example, an operation for selecting an activation icon on the desktop screen) is performed by the user, the application according to the present invention is activated on the information processing apparatus 10 (S102). In response to this activation operation, the display output unit 130 displays an application screen as shown in FIG. 4 on a display connected to the information processing apparatus 10. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a screen example of an application that operates on the information processing apparatus 10.

  As illustrated in FIG. 4, the screen includes at least two display areas (401A, 401B) for displaying display data, a first button group 402 (first screen element), and second button groups 403A, 403B. (Second screen element) is included.

  The first button group 402 is used for setting or changing a display parameter set for determining display data to be acquired by the display data acquiring unit 120. The first button group 402 illustrated in FIG. 4 includes a Color button, a Light button, a Surface button, a Pattern button, and a Situation button. The parameter acquisition unit 110 acquires a display parameter set for determining display data in accordance with a user operation on these buttons (S104).

  The Color button / Surface button / Pattern button is a button for performing an input for setting or changing a parameter relating to the surface characteristics of the surface layer material. The user can make an input to set or change a parameter indicating the ground color (color tone) of the surface of the surface layer material via a screen (for example, FIG. 5) displayed in response to pressing of the Color button. . In addition, the user can display the surface texture of the surface layer material (for example, the reflection state of light due to the uneven state of the surface of the surface layer material) via a screen (eg, FIG. 6) displayed in response to pressing of the Surface button. Input can be made to set or change the indicated parameters. In addition, the user can make an input for setting or changing a parameter indicating the surface pattern of the surface layer material via a screen (for example, FIG. 7) displayed in response to pressing of the Pattern button.

  Each parameter that can be set with the Color button / Surface button / Pattern button is a parameter that affects not only the appearance of the surface of the surface layer material but also the reflection state (reflection) of the surface of the surface layer material. For example, the ground color of the surface or the color of the pattern on the surface affects the wavelength component of the reflected light. Further, the unevenness of the surface affects the scattering of the reflected light. That is, display data with different reflection states (reflections) on the surface of the surface layer material is specified by the set values of these parameters.

  The Light button is a button for performing an input for setting or changing a parameter relating to characteristics of light (artificial light) irradiated to a construction target. The user sets or changes a parameter indicating a characteristic (for example, color temperature) of the artificial light irradiated to the construction target via a screen (for example, FIG. 8) displayed in response to pressing of the Light button. Can do.

  The Situation button is a button for performing an input for changing or setting the construction environment, such as a parameter indicating the construction target and a parameter indicating the characteristics of the light (natural light) irradiated on the construction target. The user identifies parameters such as “elevator”, “local train”, or “resort train” on which a surface layer material is to be placed via a screen (eg, FIG. 9) displayed in response to pressing of the Situation button. Can be set or changed. Further, on the screen illustrated in FIG. 9, the user can set / change a parameter indicating the viewpoint (for example, “front” or “lateral”) of the object on which the surface material is arranged. Further, on the screen as illustrated in FIG. 9, the user sets parameters indicating characteristics of natural light irradiated on the construction target (for example, “daytime (with sunlight)”, “night (without sunlight)”, etc.). Can be set or changed.

  Each button displayed on each screen described above is associated with a corresponding parameter value, and the parameter acquisition unit 110 acquires a parameter value associated with the button selected by the user's input operation. can do. Thus, the combination of the parameter values acquired by the operation on each screen becomes the display parameter set used when acquiring the display data.

  In addition, the parameter acquisition unit 110 corresponds to the display parameter set acquired in accordance with the above-described operation to the button selected by the second button group 403A and the button selected by the second button group 403A. The buttons are associated with the buttons of the second button group 403B. Specifically, when the “Pattern1” button is selected in the second button group 403A, the parameter acquisition unit 110 adds the “Pattern1” button in the second button group 403A and the “Pattern1” button in the second button group 403B. Associate the same display parameter set.

  When the setting of the parameters (display parameter set) for each button is completed by the operation as described above, the display data acquisition unit 120 displays the display corresponding to the set display parameter set from the display data stored in the database. Data is specified and acquired (S106). For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the database stores display parameter sets having different setting values and display data corresponding to the display parameter sets in association with each other. In this case, specifically, the display data acquisition unit 120 can acquire the display data as follows, for example. First, the display data acquisition unit 120 searches the column of “display parameter set” and identifies a record that stores a display parameter set that matches the display parameter set acquired in S104. Then, the display data acquisition unit 120 reads the display data stored in the “display data” column of the specified record.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the display output unit 130 displays the display data acquired by the display data acquisition unit 120 in the display area (S108). FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed according to the setting of the display parameter set.

  Note that another display parameter set can be set by switching the button selected in the second button group 403A above the display area 401A and repeating the operation of S104.

<Comparison flow>
The display data acquisition unit 120 can update the display data to be displayed in the display area 401A or 401B using the display parameter set associated with each button of the second button group 403A or 403B. Specifically, when the button selected in the second button group 403A or 403B is switched, the display data acquisition unit 120 acquires a display parameter set associated with the newly selected button. Then, the display data acquisition unit 120 specifies display data corresponding to the acquired display parameter set from the display data stored in the database. The display output unit 130 displays the display data specified by the display data acquisition unit 120 in the display area corresponding to the second button group 403A or 403B on which the button is switched.

  Here, for example, in a state where different display parameter sets are set for “Pattern1” and “Pattern2”, one of “Pattern1” and “Pattern2” is selected by the second button group 403A, and the second If the other is selected in the button group 403B, different display data can be displayed in the display area 401A and the display area 401B for comparison. Some specific examples of the comparison flow are given below.

<< Viewpoint comparison >>
For example, if the “Pattern1” Situation is set to “Elevator (front)”, the “Pattern2” Situation is set to “Elevator (sideways)”, and other settings are the same, as shown in FIG. Different display data can be compared side by side.

<< Day and night comparison >>
For example, if the “Pattern1” Situation is set to “Resort Train (Daytime)”, the “Pattern2” Situation is set to “Resort Train (Night)”, and the other settings are the same, as shown in FIG. You can compare the difference between strengths.

<< Light on / off comparison >>
For example, when “Light” of “Pattern1” is set to “non”, “Light” of “Pattern2” is set to “day white (5024K)”, and other settings are the same, as shown in FIG. The difference due to the presence or absence of can be compared.

<< Light Color Temperature Comparison >>
For example, if the “Pattern1” Light is set to “Daylight Color (6500K)”, the “Pattern2” Light is set to “Incandescent Light Bulb (2800K)”, and the other settings are the same, as shown in FIG. The difference in color temperature can be compared.

<< Pattern comparison >>
For example, if the pattern of “Pattern1” is set to “Cheek”, the pattern of “Pattern2” is set to “Walnut”, and the other settings are the same, as shown in FIG. 16, the difference due to the pattern of the surface layer material is compared. be able to.

<< Surface (texture) comparison >>
For example, if “Surface of“ Pattern1 ”is set to“ M (light reflection state: medium) ”,“ Surface of “Pattern2” is set to “S (light reflection state: low)”, and other settings are the same. As shown in FIG. 17, it is possible to compare the overall difference in appearance depending on the light reflection state on the surface of the surface layer material.

<< Comparison by surface material color >>
For example, if “Color” of “Pattern1” is set to “White”, “Color” of “Pattern2” is set to “Green”, and the other settings are the same, as shown in FIG. Can be compared.

  Hereinafter, other functions in the present invention will be described.

<SaveLog function>
FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary process flow in the SaveLog function.
The SaveLog function is a function for outputting the display parameter selected on the screen to log data. In order to make it possible to execute processing related to the SaveLog function, the display output unit 130 further displays a SaveLog button (third screen element, reference numeral 404 in FIG. 4) on the screen. The process related to the SaveLog function is executed in response to an operation such as pressing the SaveLog button.

  In response to the pressing operation of the SaveLog button, the parameter acquisition unit 110 acquires a display parameter set corresponding to the display data selected on the screen (S202). As an example, when the display output unit 130 displays a screen for selecting any one of buttons “Pattern1” to “Pattern5” in response to the pressing operation of the SaveLog button, the parameter acquisition unit 110 is selected on the screen. The display parameter set associated with the button can be acquired. Then, the parameter acquisition unit 110 outputs the display parameter set acquired in S202 to log data (S204). This log data is stored on the memory 103 or the storage device 104. By saving the display parameter set in the log data in this way, it is possible to set and hold more display parameter sets on the screen.

  The display output unit 130 may display a list of display parameter sets stored in the log data in the list unit 405 of FIG. 4 (S206). The list part 405 can also be said to be an area for displaying information stored in log data. The list unit 405 allows the user to check the display parameter set output to the log data by the SaveLog function.

  The display output unit 130 may display the display parameter set in the list unit 405 so as to be selectable. In this case, the display data acquisition unit 120 can update the display data to be displayed in the display area by using the display parameter set selected in the list unit 405 in response to pressing of a redisplay button (not shown). . Specifically, the parameter acquisition unit 110 reads the display parameter set selected on the list unit 405 when the redisplay button is pressed while the display parameter set is selected in the list unit 405. . The display data acquisition unit 120 uses the display parameter set read by the parameter acquisition unit 110 to update display data to be displayed in the display area. The display output unit 130 uses the display data updated by the display data acquisition unit 120 to update the display area display. Thereby, the display data corresponding to the display parameter set output to the log data can be displayed in the display area.

  Further, when evaluation information is associated with a display parameter set by an evaluation function described later, a function of rearranging the display parameter set displayed in the list unit 405 according to the evaluation information can be implemented. In this case, the display output unit 130 further displays a Sort button (fourth screen element, not shown) on the screen. When the Sort button is pressed, the display output unit 130 refers to the evaluation information corresponding to the display parameter set displayed in the list unit, and rearranges the display parameter sets in descending order of the associated evaluation information.

  Thereby, even when many display parameter sets are displayed in the list part 405, the thing with high evaluation can be found immediately.

  Further, when evaluation information is linked to a display parameter set by an evaluation function described later, a predetermined number (for example, the number of display areas) of display parameter sets in the descending order of evaluation from the display parameter set of the list unit 405. It is possible to implement the function of selecting and reading out and updating the display data. In this case, the display output unit 130 further displays a Load button (fifth screen element, not shown) on the screen. Also, the parameter acquisition unit 110 refers to the evaluation information corresponding to the display parameter set displayed in the list unit 405 in response to pressing of the Load button, and a predetermined number of display parameters in descending order of the associated evaluation information. Select a set. Further, the display data acquisition unit 120 searches the database using a predetermined number of display parameter sets selected by the parameter acquisition unit 110, and acquires display data to be displayed in each display area. The display output unit 130 uses the display data updated by the display data acquisition unit 120 to update the display of each display area.

  Thereby, display data based on a combination of highly evaluated parameters can be immediately displayed on the screen. This function is useful, for example, when making a final decision.

  In addition, it is possible to implement a function of outputting the display parameter set displayed in the list unit 405 (stored in the log data) to an electronic file in a predetermined format (for example, a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file). . In this case, the display output unit 130 further displays a Save History button (sixth screen element, reference numeral 406 in FIG. 4) on the screen. The parameter acquisition unit 110 acquires the display parameter set displayed in the list unit 405 (stored in the log data) in response to pressing of the Save History button. Further, when evaluation information, comment information, and customer information are associated with the display parameter set by an evaluation function and a customer information input function described later, the parameter acquisition unit 110 acquires these information together. Or output to an electronic file.

  By outputting the comment information and the customer information together, it becomes possible to check the evaluations and considerations for the display data corresponding to the display parameter set output to the electronic file. Moreover, since the customer corresponding to the file output by customer information can be confirmed, management of the output file becomes easy.

<Evaluation function>
FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing in the evaluation function. With the evaluation function, it is possible to attach an evaluation or comment to the display data displayed in the display area. In order to be able to execute processing relating to the evaluation function, the display output unit 130 includes a Star button (seventh screen element, reference numeral 407 in FIG. 4) and a comment input field (eighth screen element, reference numeral 408 in FIG. 4). ) Is further displayed on the screen.

  First, by selecting the number of the Star button on the screen, evaluation information associated with the display data displayed in the display area A is set on the screen (S302). Also, comment information to be associated with the display data displayed in the display area A is set on the screen based on the text input (for example, “1 month delivery date”) in the comment field (S304). Thereafter, when the SaveLog button is pressed, the parameter acquisition unit 110 associates the evaluation information set in S302 and the comment information set in S304 with a display parameter set that is output to log data by the SaveLog function (S306). .

  With this function, it is possible to leave customer evaluations and various considerations for each display data.

<Customer information input function>
FIG. 21 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing in the customer information input function. In order to be able to execute the process related to the customer information input function, the display output unit 130 further displays a Setting button (9th screen element, reference numeral 409 in FIG. 4) on the screen. Processing related to the customer information input function is executed in response to an operation such as pressing the Setting button.

  In response to the pressing of the Setting button, the display output unit 130 displays a screen including screen elements for accepting customer information input as shown in FIG. 22 on the display (S402). The display output unit 130 holds the customer information input on the screen, for example, in the memory 103 of the information processing apparatus 10 (S404).

  The parameter acquisition unit 110 can read customer information stored in the memory 103 and associate it with a display parameter set. In addition, the customer information input here is output by data generated by an application running on the information processing apparatus 10 (for example, print data or electronic file output by a print / PDF output function described later, an order function). Order data etc.).

  According to this function, customer information can be included in various data generated by an application running on the information processing apparatus 10, and data management becomes easy.

<Ordering function>
FIG. 23 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing in the ordering function. The ordering function is a function for transmitting display parameters selected on the screen to an external device (for example, a manufacturing device in a product factory or a terminal connected to the manufacturing device). In order to execute the process related to the ordering function, the display output unit 130 further displays an Order button (10th screen element, not shown) on the screen. The process related to the ordering function is executed in response to an operation such as pressing the Order button.

  First, a display parameter set to be ordered is selected on the screen (S502). For example, “Pattern 1” to “Pattern 5” on the screen or a display parameter set held in the list unit 405 is selected. When the Order button is pressed in this state, the parameter acquisition unit 110 acquires the selected display parameter set (S504). When comment information or customer information is associated with the display parameter set, the parameter acquisition unit 110 may acquire these information together.

  Then, the parameter acquisition unit 110 acquires information indicating the transmission destination of the display parameter set acquired in S504 (for example, the address of a manufacturing apparatus arranged in a factory for manufacturing a product or a terminal connected to the manufacturing apparatus) ( S506). For example, the address of a manufacturing apparatus arranged in a factory that manufactures a product or a terminal connected to the manufacturing apparatus may be stored in advance in the memory 103 or the storage device 104, or may be input through a separate input form. Also good. The parameter acquisition unit 110 transmits the display parameter set acquired in S504 based on the information indicating the transmission destination acquired in S506 (S508). At this time, when the comment information and the customer information are further acquired, the parameter acquisition unit 110 transmits the information together.
