As described above, if it is possible to change the display of the sheet display unit 3 stepwise from 1 sheet to 16 sheets using the sheet number selection tag 15, the design is advanced while sequentially confirming a specific completed image of the tile unit. be able to.

[Design method]
Next, a specific design method by the computer will be described.
First, on the initial screen of the image display device, only the basic pattern selection unit 5 and the my pattern reading unit 10 in FIG. 1A can be input, so the basic pattern selection unit 5 is selected, for example. Then, the names of a plurality of basic patterns set in advance are displayed in a pull-down menu, and a desired basic pattern is selected therefrom.

Specifically, in each of the basic patterns, an array of tiles and various tiles selectable in the array are grouped. For example, when a basic pattern based on so-called 45 tiles is selected, A tile unit having only the tile outline view 2 is displayed on the sheet display unit 3 as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 6, and a list of surface shapes selectable in the list display selection unit 4 of the screen 1 of FIG. Is displayed, and the list display / selection unit 4 of surface colors is developed between the list display / selection unit 4 and the random pattern generation unit 7 therebelow as shown in FIG. 1 (b). A tile having a desired surface shape and a desired surface color is selected by the two separate list display selection units 4.
When a basic pattern based on a so-called border tile is selected, a tile unit having only the tile outline 2 is displayed on the sheet display unit 3 as shown in FIG. 7 or FIG. A list of selectable colored surface shapes is displayed on the list display selection section 4 of. The border tile has a product setting in which the combination of the surface shape and the surface color is smaller than that of the 45 double tiles described above, so that all combinations can be displayed only by the list display selection unit 4 of FIG. . In the list display selection unit 4, a tile having a desired surface shape and surface color is selected.
When a basic pattern is selected, product information on the basic pattern is displayed on the product information display unit 6 of the screen 1.

Next, the tile selection mode or the replacement mode is selected by the mode selection unit 11 of the screen 1. The default is tile paste mode, and the tile paste mode is maintained until the next swap mode is selected.
When one tile contour diagram 2 of the sheet display unit 3 is selected in this tile attachment mode state, the surface shape and surface color previously selected by the list display selection unit 4 are reflected in the tile contour diagram 2. If you want to select the same tile next time, select the desired tile outline 2 and return to the list display selection unit 4 only when you want to change to a different tile, and select the surface shape and surface color. Fix it.

  By repeating the above operation and filling in all the tile outlines 2 with the desired tile surface shape and surface color, the design of the tile unit is completed as shown in FIG. Here, if it is desired to change a group of tiles having the same surface shape and surface color to another surface shape and surface color, the list display selection unit 4 selects the surface shape and surface color of the change candidate. In the selected state, the mode selection unit 11 may select the replacement mode, and subsequently, the sheet display unit 3 may select one of the tile outline 2 to be replaced. As a result, a group of tiles having the same surface shape and surface color as that of the tile outline view 2 is collectively replaced with the tile of the change candidate. In order to return to the design before the change, the previous operation may be canceled with the back button 13 of the screen 1, but the design information before the change is stored in the my pattern storage unit 9 at the lower right corner of the screen 1. May be selected and saved. The design information stored in the my pattern storage unit 9 can be reproduced at any time by selecting the my pattern reading unit 10, so it can be returned even after repeating the tile replacement several times.

  By the way, when the tile selected by the list display selection unit 4 is displayed on the tile contour diagram 2 of the tile unit of the sheet display unit 3, the surface shape and the surface are displayed on the random pattern generation unit 7 as shown in FIG. For example, product numbers such as “A-1” and “B-2” of tiles specified by color, and the ratio of tiles of the product number to the entire tile unit [(number of tiles of the same product number / entire tile unit The number of tiles) × 100] (%) is displayed, and the proportion of TOTAL in the tile outline 2 filled with tiles is also displayed simultaneously. Then, when the TOTAL ratio becomes 100% (that is, all the tile outline 2 is filled with tiles), each button can be input by pressing the “Generate random pattern” button of the random pattern generator 7. The arrangement of tiles can be randomly interchanged while maintaining the composition ratio of the tiles. By repeating this replacement, the desired design may be completed.

The design information completed in the above design process can be output as an image file of an arbitrary format using the output button 18 on the lower side of the screen 1, so it is recorded in the external memory and the external memory is implemented in the manufacturing process. A tile unit can be ordered by passing it to the subject.
In addition, the email address of the tile maker, which is the main body of the manufacturing process, is set in the send button 19 of the screen 1, and by inputting the send button 19, the design information of the tile unit U is set via the Internet. It can also be sent.

[Manufacturing process]
The tile maker that has received the design information created in the above design process checks the design information with a computer, arranges the specified tiles T in the specified arrangement, and performs connection work using the connection means P. This manufacturing process can be carried out with existing equipment and methods, such as, for example, arranging tiles T on a mold pallet and pasting kraft paper which is the connecting means P on the surface thereof.

  As mentioned above, although the present invention was explained by the embodiment, of course the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, the layout of the illustrated screen 1 can be freely changed.
