It should be noted that the act of manufacturing, selling, etc. the recording medium on which the various programs P1 to P3 are recorded is included in the technical scope of the present invention.
[0017]
Prior to the display of the CG image in the display room 1, as shown in FIG. 4, the operator S of the construction company provides a plan view of each floor of the house H to be built by the customer K in advance on the workstation 11. A tool T (button, selection field, etc.) displayed in the tool display area A2 on the right side is created in the image display area A1 of the plan view creation screen G1 displayed on the display device 12.
[0018]
Although the procedure for creating the plan view will not be described in detail, “room name” and “area” are designated using the tool T displayed in the tool display area A2, and the image display area A1 is used. The floor plan can be designed simply by designating the position at which the “room” is arranged with the mouse 14 or the like.
[0019]
In addition, a storage unit built in a desired room, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a storage shelf 21 in the kitchen, a storage basket 22 adjacent to the kitchen, a push 23 under the stairs, a bedroom, each push 24 in the Japanese room, 25. If you want to place a closet 26 in the bedroom, a shoe compartment 27 in the entrance, and a storage 28 such as a book in the living room, click the storage input button B1 to change the type, position and size of the storage. You can specify. It should be noted that fixtures can be arranged simply by designating the “type” of “equipment” such as furniture and electrical products such as tables and chairs to be arranged in each room, and the position of arrangement.
[0020]
Each room and fixtures used in the above design are created in advance as three-dimensional shape data having a height dimension, so it is only necessary to create a plan view as shown in FIG. 4 for each floor of the house. And three-dimensional shape data of fixtures are created, and the three-dimensional shape data is subjected to processing such as coloring as necessary. The above-described three-dimensional shape data of houses and fixtures is stored in the shape data storage means of FIG.
[0021]
In addition to creating the 3D shape data of the house on the workstation 11, the drawing data (3D shape data) of the house created in advance by a CAD system or the like may be taken into the workstation 11 and used. Good.
[0022]
Hereinafter, a procedure for examining whether or not the size of the walk-through and the storage unit performed when the customer K visits the display room 1 will be described. Prior to reviewing these walkthroughs and storage units, first, the operator S listens to the approximate quantity of storage items owned by the entire family of the customer K, and the operator S inputs it to the arithmetic processing unit 16 using the keyboard 13 or the like. .
[0023]
Specifically, when the stored quantity input button B2 is clicked on the plan view creation screen G1 in FIG. 4, the stored quantity input screen G2 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. Here, the operator S associates the customer K with the type name of the stored item stored in advance in the processing unit 16 in the stored item quantity list region A3 displayed in the lower half of the image display region A1. When the quantity (approximate number) possessed by the whole family is input, the quantity of the stored items for each type is stored in the stored item quantity storage means of FIG. These quantities are used later when examining whether the size of the storage section is sufficient.
[0024]
Further, the occupied area per unit quantity for each stored item, specifically, the occupied volume here is obtained in advance and stored in the stored item occupied area storage means per unit quantity in FIG. For example, when obtaining the occupied volume (M / N) per unit quantity (one per piece) of outerwear in clothing, a standard size outerwear is placed in a storage section such as a bowl-shaped storage where the volume M is measured in advance. It is only necessary to calculate the number of outer coats (N) when the storage unit is full until the storage unit is full, and the volume M is divided by the number N.
[0025]
For storage items such as tableware other than clothing, the occupied volume per unit quantity can be obtained from the volume of the storage part such as a cupboard and the number of tableware when the storage part is full. The occupied volume per unit quantity is stored in the stored article occupied volume storage means.
[0026]
Next, the principle of generating a CG image for displaying the inside and outside of the house planned to be built by the customer K as a moving image or a still image on the screen 5 will be described. For example, if the three-dimensional shape data representing a house is simplified and corresponds to the shape shown by C in FIG. 6 and the viewpoint is V and the gazing point is U, the line-of-sight direction D is determined from the viewpoint V. The direction is toward the viewpoint U.
[0027]
When generating an image when the line-of-sight direction D is viewed from the viewpoint V as a CG image, a quadrangular pyramid E corresponding to a predetermined viewing angle is set with the line-of-sight direction D as the center line in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, A two-dimensional image obtained by projecting an area included in the quadrangular pyramid E in the three-dimensional shape data C onto the projection plane F (a cross section of the quadrangular pyramid E) is cut out, and an image in the projection plane F (see H in FIG. 6). ) Is displayed as a walk-through CG image Q on the screen 5 in FIG.
[0028]
The calculation for generating the CG image Q based on the viewpoint V and the line-of-sight direction D is executed by the CG image generation program P2. For example, when the viewpoint V is advanced, the area included in the quadrangular pyramid E in the three-dimensional shape data C is reduced, so that the state closer to the house is depicted in the CG image Q. Thus, according to the forward or backward movement of the viewpoint V or the change of the line of sight, the inside and outside of the house are displayed as a moving image or a still image by the CG image.
[0029]
Hereinafter, a specific walk-through procedure will be described. When the walkthrough button B3 is clicked in the tool display area A2 of FIG. 4 or the like, the walkthrough screen G2 of FIG. 7 is displayed. The created plan view is reduced and displayed in the sub-window A3 of the walk-through screen G2. Here, the operator S sets the viewpoint V and the gazing point U that are the reference for generating the CG image, thereby the viewpoint V. A virtual image when the gazing point U is viewed from the CG image is displayed in the image display area A1 as an initial walk-through screen by the CG image. Here, a walk-through screen when the viewpoint V and the gazing point U are set in the living room is illustrated.
[0030]
Then, during the walk-through, the operator S uses the buttons B4 to B9 such as “left rotation”, “right rotation”, “upward rotation”, “downward rotation”, “forward”, “reverse” and the like in the tool display area A2. When the above-described movement of the viewpoint V and the change of the line-of-sight direction D are performed by appropriately clicking or the like, the image display area A1 and the screen 5 according to the change of the viewpoint V or the line-of-sight direction D are responded accordingly. The interior of the house is displayed as a moving image or a still image by the CG image Q.
[0031]
That is, when the “forward” or “reverse” button B8, B9 is clicked, the viewpoint V moves forward or backward, and the CG image Q is enlarged or reduced in the image display area A1 and the screen 5 (not shown). Become. In FIG. 8, a state in which the viewpoint V is advanced from the state of FIG. 7 is displayed. Further, when the “rotate left” or “rotate right” button B4, B5 or the like is clicked, the line-of-sight direction D changes to the left or right, and the CG displayed on the image display area A1 and the screen 5 accordingly. The image changes.
[0032]
Next, a procedure for examining whether or not the storage unit of the house to be built displayed in the CG image has a sufficient capacity to store the storage items owned by the customer K during the walk-through will be described. In this examination, when the storage unit examination button B10 is clicked on the walk-through screen or the like in FIG. 8, the screen is switched to the accommodation unit examination screen in FIG.
[0033]
In the storage unit examination area A4 in FIG. 9, the result of calculating for each stored item whether or not the volume of the storage unit is sufficient with respect to the volume of the stored item owned by the customer K is displayed. For example, for books and the like, the quantity for each type of stored item such as “paperback book” and “book” is read from the stored item quantity storage means (FIG. 3) and displayed in the uppermost first column L1. In the second column L2, the stored item occupied volume per unit quantity for each stored item is read from the stored item occupied area storage means per unit quantity and displayed. For example, the occupancy volume per unit quantity of “paperback book” is displayed as 50 cm ³ , which means that the occupancy volume per paperback book is about 50 cm ^{3 on} average. These values are obtained and stored in advance.
[0034]
In the third column L3, the result of calculating the stored item occupation volume for each stored item is displayed. For example, for the “paperback book”, the total occupied volume 2500 cm ³ is obtained by multiplying the occupied volume 50 cm ³ per book by the number of 50 books. The fourth column L4 displays that the storage unit 28 for books in the living room has been automatically selected as the storage unit for storing books and the like.
[0035]
Further, in the fifth column L5, the size, in this case, the volume of the storage unit 28 for the book or the like is displayed as, for example, 144000 cm ³ . This volume is calculated by the calculation control means of FIG. 3 based on the area of the storage portion 28 shown in the plan view of FIG. 4 and the height of the storage portion 28 stored in advance. In the sixth column L6, if the determination result of whether or not the volume of the storage unit is sufficient to store the corresponding storage item is sufficient, for example, the symbol “◯” is insufficient. For example, the symbol “x” is displayed.
[0036]
That is, the total occupied volume for each storage item in the third column L3 is 100800 cm ³ , but this value is compared with the storage unit volume 144000 cm ^{3 in} the fifth column L5 by the calculation control unit in FIG. In this case, since the capacity of the storage unit is larger, it is determined that the storage unit 28 for books and the like is sufficient to store the books and the like owned by the customer K.
[0037]
In the above description, the volume of the entire storage unit 28 is compared with the total volume of books-related storage items such as “paperback books” and “books”. ”May be compared with the volume of each storage area and the volume of each corresponding storage item.
[0038]
In addition, after performing the determination as described above, it is also possible to display a CG image as to whether or not the storage unit is sufficient to store the stored items. For example, when a determination result indicating that the above-described storage unit 28 for books and the like is sufficient to store the books and the like owned by the customer K, all the books and the like are stored as shown in FIG. The state stored in the unit 28 can be displayed as a CG image, and conversely, the determination result that the storage unit 28 such as a book is not sufficient to store the book owned by the customer K is lower. In this case, although not shown, a state in which a part of the book overflows from the storage unit 28 can be displayed as a CG image.
[0039]
In the above, books etc. were explained, but also about other stored items such as clothes and tableware, by comparing the occupied volume of each stored item owned by the customer K and the volume of each corresponding storage unit, Similar determinations can be made. In the above description, the stored items and the storage unit are compared with each other in volume (three-dimensional amount). For example, for stored items that are difficult to be stacked and stored, an area such as a found area (two-dimensional) is used. The amount of the storage unit can be compared with the occupied area of the stored item. Furthermore, with respect to storage items in which the depth dimension or the like of the storage unit is a problem, it is possible to compare the depth dimension or the like of the storage unit with the depth dimension or the like of the storage unit.
