The editing screen window W100 is arranged on one side of a menu window W110 for explaining points, outlines, colors, etc., a drawing window W120 in which an image img is loaded, and a drawing window W120 to be An input window W130 for receiving data for may be included.

The menu window W110 may include a plurality of icons, and one or more points and lines may be drawn with the drawing window W110 according to a user's selection, and the color of the points and lines may be changed.

In the drawing window W120, an image img may be projected as it is, and a user may set an object obj by drawing a shape of a building material intended by him/her from the image img as a figure. The object obj may be composed of a plurality of outlines (L1 to L3) and a plurality of points (P1 to P3), and the user draws points (P1 to P3) and outlines (L1 to L3) on the image (img). You can draw the shape of a single figure.

In particular, the editing environment may provide a function of automatically drawing an outline when a user in the drawing window W120 draws two or more points. As an example, when the user draws the first and second points P1 and P2, the first outline L1 may be set to be drawn automatically.

The input window W130 can receive the length of the outlines L1 to L3 drawn in the drawing window W120 as data of the object obj, and when one outline is input according to the shape of the figure, the remaining outlines The length of can be set to be automatically calculated.

Further, the drawing window W120 may be divided into a plurality of blocks and displayed, and then temporary points may be allocated and displayed at intersections between the plurality of blocks. Accordingly, when the touch signal corresponds to an intersection between blocks, the drawing window W120 may display a temporary point allocated to an intersection between blocks as a starting point of a line or a type of line point.

In addition, the editing environment that provides the function of defining an object in the above-described image information generation method can be performed on a GUI tool provided by the editing unit of the mobile terminal, and such an editing environment provides various input methods by the user. Make it possible to draw and modify.

Hereinafter, functions of an editing environment provided by a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

7A to 7D are diagrams illustrating an example of a method of constructing and modifying an object in an editing environment of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

7A to 7D, when a user in the drawing window W120 of the editing environment touches three places, three points P1 to P3 may be drawn corresponding to the coordinates, and three points according to the setting Three outlines (L1 to L3) connecting each of (P1 to P3) may be drawn automatically or according to an operation such as drag or swipe of a user.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 7C, if any one of the outlines L1 to L3 formed in the drawing window W120 is touched and then dragged or swiped, the outline L3 is curvatured as it is dragged in the drag direction. Can be set, and the user can display not only straight lines but also curves through this function.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 7D, after a triangular diagram by three points (P1 to P3) and three outlines (L1 to L3) is drawn in the drawing window (W120), the user moves to the inside of the triangular diagram. When any one of the first inner lines L11 is drawn, the second and third lines facing the second and third outlines L2 and L3 are proportional to the separation distance between the first outline L1 and the inner line L11. 3 The inner lines L21 and L31 can be drawn automatically.

As described above, the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention can define an object corresponding to the building material on the image by simply manipulating the image acquired through photographing, and then identified by the management server. You will be able to receive quotation information.

Although many items are specifically described in the above description, this should be construed as an example of a preferred embodiment rather than limiting the scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention should not be determined by the described embodiments, but should be defined by the claims and equivalents to the claims.
