Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the repair proposal creating work showing the flow of the repair proposal creating work. Hereinafter, the contents of the work for creating the repair proposal will be described with reference to FIG. First, in order to obtain an image of the elevator that is the subject of refurbishment before refurbishment, a photo is taken of the current elevator hall (S1). Since the design drawing after the renovation is created with reference to the photos of the current landing, when taking a picture, the whole image of the front of the landing, the overall image of the landing diagonally, the landing ceiling image, the landing floor image, the customer Shoot as many different images as possible, such as the design image unique to the building. Also,
If a pattern is formed on the wall of the hall, the pattern is also taken as a clear front image. When the photographs of the landing are prepared, those images are read by the scanner of the input unit 12 (S2). The image data of the video of the current hall read in this way is transferred from the control unit 11 to the photographic data storage unit 13d and stored therein.

If the image of the current hall stored in the photographic data storage unit 13d contains illumination light at the time of shooting, originally unnecessary objects or shadows, stains, stains, discoloration, etc. due to long-term use, these images are taken. The data is read and displayed on the display unit 14, and the corresponding portion is removed or modified (S3). Then, the processed image data is also stored in the photograph data storage unit 13d. Next, image data of various landing shapes are read out from the landing data storage unit 13b and displayed on the display unit 14, and the landing call button and display device are closest to the shape of the current landing by referring to the photograph image of the current landing. Select the landing shape that you want to propose to the customer, including the image of (S4). At the same time, the color of each selected portion of the landing shape, the optical material of the material, or the surface pattern is also selected, and the image of the landing shape to be proposed is selected. When it is desired to incorporate a design image unique to the customer building, which is not registered in the hall data storage unit 13b, into the image of the landing shape to be proposed, the image data of the design image unique to the customer building is read from the photograph data storage unit 13d and the display unit 14 is read. And display it on the corresponding part of the hall-shaped three-dimensional image (S5). FIG. 3A is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the image of the hall shape, which is created in this manner, in a left oblique view.

Similarly, the three-dimensional image data of each car read from the car data storage unit 13a is displayed on the display unit 14, and the car shape desired to be proposed to the customer is selected. Then, the color, the optical material of the material for each part of the car shape, the pattern of the surface, and the design image peculiar to the customer building to be incorporated are applied to the corresponding parts to form the image of the car shape to be proposed. FIG. 3 (b) is a perspective view of the cage shape thus created.
When the data of the image of the hall shape and the image of the car shape to be proposed are prepared, the data of the three-dimensional composite image in which these images are combined is created (S6). After the data of the 3D composite image is created, the positions of the viewpoint and the light source are changed and the 3D composite image is converted into the data of the multidimensionally viewed 2D image by the 3D image processing known as computer graphics. , The two-dimensional image is displayed on the display unit 14. The creator determines the position of the viewpoint and the light source that are most likely to be compared with the current photo of the hall taken in step S1, and at that time,
The two-dimensional image displayed on the display unit 14 is selected as a presentation image to be drawn on the repair proposal (S7). When a plurality of presented images are drawn on the repair proposal or when there are a plurality of repair shapes to be proposed, the work of steps S4 to S7 is repeated a desired number of times.
The presentation image drawn on the repair proposal thus created is stored in the combination data storage unit 13c.

After that, the presented image stored in the combination data storage unit 13c and the photographic image of the current hall stored in the photographic data storage unit 13d are read out respectively and the pre-repair image and the proposal to be posted in the renovation proposal document are read. The post-repair image is combined to create a post image of the repair proposal and stored in the proposal data storage unit 13e. Next, the posted image of the repair proposal is read from the proposal data storage unit 13e, transferred to the output unit 15, and printed on the recording paper to create the repair proposal (S8). The sales staff brings the repair proposal thus created and submits it to the customer (S9). FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a repair proposal created by a repair proposal creating operation using the above-described repair proposal design creating apparatus.

As described above, in this embodiment, three-dimensional image data of various car shapes and three-dimensional image data of various hall shapes are recorded together with image data of the color of a part of them, the optical material of the material, or the surface pattern. The image data of the image of the current hall before renovation is also stored in the photograph data memory 13d by being read by the scanner of the input unit 12 and stored in advance in the car data storage 13a and the hall data storage 13b, respectively. Therefore, various three-dimensional shapes of the car and the hall are selected, and the color of some of them, the optical material of the material, or the surface pattern is also appropriately selected. Data of a three-dimensional composite image incorporating a design image is easily created, and a two-dimensional image from an arbitrary viewpoint and light source position is displayed on the display unit 14 by three-dimensional image processing. It is possible to significantly reduce the time and labor required to create a repair proposal, and to make it possible to diversify the images posted on the repair proposal, thus responding to various customer requests for images posted on the repair proposal. it can.

[0012]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a desired set of images is selected from the images of the three-dimensional image data of a part of the building equipment and the installation place which are stored in advance, Corresponding to these images, part of the color, the optical material of the material or the surface pattern image was selected, and further, part of the image of the current installation location read by the scanner was selected as necessary. Image data of a three-dimensional image of the proposed design, which is a part of the building equipment and a part of the installation place that is applied to a part of the three-dimensional image, is generated, and then the image data of the three-dimensional image is processed into a desired three-dimensional image Since the image data of the two-dimensional image at the viewpoint of the position and the light source is generated and the proposed design image is printed on the recording paper according to the image data of the two-dimensional image, the time and labor required to create the proposed design image can be reduced. Together can be reduced to the width, since the proposed design image can be varied, it is possible to meet various demands of customers to the proposal design image.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the building facility is a car for an elevator, a part of the installation place is a hall, and a part of the image of the current installation place is a video image of the hall. Therefore, the time and labor required to create the proposed design image of the elevator hall and the car can be significantly reduced.
