BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, a case where the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a user's design support for an interior design of a living room of a house will be described. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to living rooms, but may be widely applied to design support by users of various designs such as various room designs of buildings such as houses, office designs, exterior designs of residential gardens, etc. Needless to say.

The hardware resources constituting the system are
For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a central processing unit (CP
U) 1, input means 3 such as a keyboard and a mouse,
The display means 4 such as a CRT and the output means 5 such as a printer are connected via the input / output interface 2, and the storage means 6 is connected to the processing means 1 in binary.

The basic design file 7 is stored in the storage means 6.
A total interior design file 10 including the modified design file 8 and the modified design file 8 is stored as a database. The design files 7 and 8 do not mean that the design data of the individual parts that make up the interior are individually registered, but a large number of the design data of the total interior that is configured by combining multiple parts in advance is registered. Has been done. The interior design data of each of the design files 7 and 8 is provided with an interior configuration item file as shown in the figure, and is formed on the basis of information on whether or not a combination of which item in the file matches which item. It may be of the form

Further, the storage means 6 is provided with a user information file 9 for storing user information input in the process of operating the system. The storage unit 6 and the processing unit 1 may be connected to each other, or the input / output interface 2 and the processing unit 1 may be connected to each other via online or the Internet.

A design design support system is constructed by using the above hardware resources. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of a program for realizing the system.

When this support system is started, a plurality of basic designs are displayed on the display means through a step (step S0) relating to user attribute input (step S1). The screen 4 on the display means at that time is shown in FIG.
Shown in. In FIG. 3, six basic designs A to F are displayed, but two or more basic designs may be displayed. These basic designs displayed may be predetermined.

Then, the user is made to select a desired basic design from the basic designs on the screen (step S
2). It is also possible to make a plurality of selections and rank them as first, second, ... The selection result is input by the input means 3, and the user information file 9 is stored as user information.
(Step S3). This user information is
It will be useful for improving the database later.

Then, the user is asked whether or not the selected basic design or the basic design selected as the first place, for example, basic design B, is satisfied (step S).
4). If satisfied (YES), the result is stored as user information (step S5), the selected basic design B is output by the output means 5 (step S6), and the program is ended.

If the answer is NO in step S4 (NO), the design correction image term and the name of the design component are displayed together with the basic design B on the display screen (step S7). The user is allowed to make a selection (step S8). The display screen 4 at that time is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, design correction image terms are displayed in the area 10, and design components are displayed in the area 11.

That is, one of the features of the user design design support system of the present invention is that the design is modified by the user selecting an image. The image for correction is displayed using, for example, 16 opposite terms, with the following 8 images as axes. (1) Simple and decorated, (2) Japanese and Western,
(3) Warm and cool, (4) Contemporary and traditional,
(5) Hard and soft, (6) Open and closed, (7)
Clearly vague, (8) at home and formal.

Each basic design and modified design is ranked by these eight image axes. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the coolest design to the warmest design is divided into 10 stages and ranked from a-1 to a-10.

When the user selects, for example, "cool", the rank of "cool" in the basic design B is a-6.
If so, among the modified designs, the basic design B and the basic configuration of the design, for example, the LDK type or the independent type described later, or whether or not there is a terrace, have the same basic configuration. The modified designs up to a-5 are sorted and a predetermined number is extracted. As a criterion for extraction, random or predetermined rank, for example, 2
It may be set so as to extract every rank (a-5, a-3, a-1). Alternatively, let the user display options on the screen such as “pretty” (every 3 ranks), “little” (every 2 ranks), and “just a little” (1 rank) as the “cool” degree, and let the user select. You may

In the present invention, only this correction image may be made selectable, but it is also preferable to make it possible to simultaneously or sequentially select design components that are desired to be modified and are desired to be changed. . The design component is not particularly limited as long as it is included in the basic design, for example, a concrete object such as a sofa, a curtain, a blind, a table, a chair, a shelf, a cabinet, a lighting fixture, a floor finish, and a wall finish. Should be a modifiable element.

The "cool" degree of the basic design is a-6,
Suppose the type of sofa is -2. And if the user selects "Cool" from the design correction image term and "Sofa" from the design components,
As a result of the sorting, among the modified designs mapped on the cool-worm axis as shown in FIG. 5, the modified design with hatching surrounded by the dotted line is to be extracted. The extraction may be performed randomly or for each predetermined rank as described above. For example, if the extraction is random and the number is set to 3, the modified designs (I) (II) (II
When I) is extracted, these modified designs are displayed on the display screen (step S10). The display screen 4 in step S10 is, for example, as shown in FIG.

The design correction image term and design component selected in step S8 are stored as user information (step S9).

Next, the user selects or ranks one from the modified designs (I) (II) (III) and the basic design B displayed on the screen 4 shown in FIG. 6 (step 11). ). The result of the user's selection is stored as user information (step 12).

Then, it is judged whether or not the selected or ranked first design is the basic design (step 13). If it is not the basic design (NO), the selected modified design is selected. , For example, design (II)
Is displayed on the display screen (step 14). Then, the user is asked whether or not the selected modified design is satisfactory (step 15), and if satisfied (YES), the result is stored as user information (step 16) and output to the output means (step 16). 17) and terminate the program.

If it is determined in step S15 that the user is not satisfied (NO), the selected modified design (II) is reset as the basic design, the process returns to step S7, and as shown in FIG. The corrected image term 10 and the design component 11 are displayed, and the subsequent processing is repeated.

If the user selects the basic design B in step S11 and it is determined NO in step S13, another set of modified designs is set from the cool-worm axis map, that is, the sofa on the cool side of the basic design B. But a set of modified designs other than -2, such as IV,
V and VI are displayed on the display screen (step S18), the process returns to step S11, and the subsequent processes are repeated in the same manner as above.

If the user selects the basic design B for the second time in step S11, that is, if YES is determined in step 13, it is determined that the cool modified design that the user imagines is not in the database. Then, the process may return to step S7 to select another modified image term. Alternatively, it is judged that the "cool" image that the user desires to modify is different from the "cool-warm" image in the database, and the image axis close to the image desired by the user, for example, "hard-soft axis" is selected by inference. The modified designs sorted and extracted according to the axis may be displayed, and the process may return to step S11. In this case, the inference of the image axis is
For example, in step S11 of the previous and last time, the set of the basic design and the modified design is ranked in the cool order, and this ranking is compared with the order of arrangement on the other seven image axes to determine the image axis with the highest correlation. It may be determined and the modified design based on the image axis may be displayed.

By repeating the above operation and processing in sequence, the user can clarify the interior design of the image closest to his or her desired image in a concrete form. As in this embodiment, by adopting a design support method in which the interior design is always displayed on the screen as a total interior design and the interior design is modified, the user is always aware of the total interior design and You can modify the design according to your taste, and you can smoothly find the interior design that suits your taste without worrying about the difficulty of going back and forth. For example, by using the design tool for interior coordination, in which those images are registered for each interior constituent element and the interior constituent elements of the desired image are collected to form the interior, When designing,
Often, the final interior design tends to be harsh and inconsistent, and it is difficult to reach an interior design that suits your taste. By designing a system that advances design design while always being aware of the design configuration, we can eliminate such problems.
Users will be able to clarify the total interior design that suits their tastes without getting stuck on the way.

The following processing may be executed before displaying the basic design (step S1). That is, one is processing for inputting age, family structure, occupation, residence area, etc. for the purpose of acquiring user information (step S0). The result of this processing may or may not be reflected in the design selection / extraction from the database in the subsequent processing. The second is a question and selection process for determining the set of basic designs. For example, let the user select the basic structure of the living room, specifically, whether it is a stand-alone type or LDK type, a flat ceiling, an open ceiling, or a terrace, and display a set of basic designs according to the selection result. You may do it.

The design correction image is the same as the above 8
The number of images is not limited to one image, and may be increased or decreased with reference to the acquired user information or the like, and modifiable design components may be added or changed. For example, other image axes such as "feminine-masculine" may be used as the design correction image axis, or five single poles of "sophistication", "relaxation", "heavyness", "elegance", and "gone". Axis and "typical style""arrangement"
The modified image may have many variations by crossing with “Japanese and Western eclectic”.

A program for executing the above processing and a design database are stored in one recording medium, such as a CD or an FD.
Or the like, or the execution program and the database may be stored in different recording media. Execution of the program can be realized by a computer.

Further, the host computer may be caused to carry out the database and selection / judgment processing, and only the processing on the screen may be performed by a terminal device such as a house exhibition hall connected online or via the Internet.

[0031]

According to the user design design support system of the present invention, it is possible to easily clarify what the specific design is that suits the taste of the user. Further, by adopting a configuration in which this system captures and stores the input information of the user, based on the obtained user information, the system provider, such as a building maker or a professional designer, can determine the user's preference. You can get trends as user information,
By doing so, it is possible to improve the design database, the image axis for correction, the ranking on the image axis, etc. to match the feeling of the user, and improve the system design support performance. You can Moreover, it is possible to grasp the change rules of the design image that the user likes and accumulate new designs that anticipate the user's taste in the database.
