Description

Custom interior design and construction methods}

The present invention relates to custom interior design and construction methods.

Interior architectural design refers to the design of interior space, and is commonly used as the words interior design, interior design, or interior, and refers to the work of planning and shaping the interior of a building to suit each purpose and use.

The word interior initially had only the meaning of interior decoration, but today it forms a broad concept including planning, decoration, and display. Today, interior design covers almost all buildings used by humans, such as houses, offices, stores, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, cafes, department stores, beauty salons, clothing stores, factories, and schools, as well as the interiors of large vehicles such as ships and aircraft. It is the object of design.

Interior design is necessary when designing a building, and its scope of application is wide, such as when renovating an existing building without tearing it down, or when simply changing wallpaper or simple accessories. The cost of setting up or changing the interior can vary greatly depending on the degree of setting or change, and there is a problem that the cost is similar to that of a construction project depending on the construction method. Therefore, such interior construction requires an interior estimation method that calculates the total cost required for interior construction and an interior simulation method that allows you to preview the appearance after interior construction.

However, the conventional interior design estimation method has a problem in that the contractor must go to the location where interior work is to be carried out, inspect the site in person, and calculate the construction details and costs for each work.

In addition, interior simulation methods are still mostly performed by professional interior design companies, so they have the disadvantage of requiring separate costs, expensive programs, and a lot of time. Therefore, many small and medium-sized interior design businesses only provide samples of flooring, wallpaper, etc., and users have the limitation of only imagining the finished product by looking at the samples.

The present invention was developed to solve the above-described conventional problems. Customers who want to do interior work can experience virtual interior design in two or three dimensions through a network, and provide estimates calculated according to the interior design. We aim to provide customized interior design and construction methods.

The custom interior design and construction method of the present invention includes the steps of a server receiving customer identification information from a terminal, searching for a house corresponding to the identification information, and then transmitting house information corresponding to the identification information to the terminal; A server receiving from the terminal at least one material information selected by the customer among the virtual reality information of the selected area in which the customer participates in the design of the house and the material information included in the material information applicable to virtual reality. You can.

In the step of receiving the material information, when the server receives information on each material selected by the customer from the terminal, the server checks pre-stored non-conformance information of the area to which the material selected by the customer will be applied and attribute information of the selected material, If at least one of the attribute information of the selected material is confirmed to be included in the pre-stored non-conformity information of the selected area, it is determined that the selected material is unsuitable for the selected area, and a real-time consultation can be requested or a consultation reservation can be made with the construction company. there is.

According to one aspect of the present invention described above, customers can easily participate in the interior design process, and can apply materials through virtual reality services, thereby increasing decision-making convenience and shortening the time required for the interior design process. .
