[0021] Embodiment 1: like Figures 3-5 In the invention, a virtual simulation landscape design communication system includes a virtual landscape simulation system. In the virtual simulation model constructed by the virtual landscape simulation system, some interactive components are reserved; the virtual landscape simulation system includes an interactive module and a virtual simulation model, and the virtual simulation model includes a design scene and interactive components. In the design scene, geographical environment parameters are set according to the real scene parameters of the engineering site, and the geographical environment parameters are generated by the existing GIS geographic information system. The interactive component is a three-dimensional model of a building or garden material.

[0022] like Figure 1 , 2 A controller is also provided, and the controller outputs instructions for setting the interactive components in the virtual simulation model, and modifying the position, direction and structural size parameters of the interactive components through the controller.

[0023] In a preferred solution, the interactive component is a component relatively independent of the virtual landscape simulation system; the interactive component is a three-dimensional model of a building or garden material, including a house, decorative sculptures, plants, lakes, small bridges, etc. The elevation of the component is set to adapt to the design scene, that is, the design scene is divided into multiple blocks, each block is provided with an independent elevation, and the component is provided with a basic elevation, which is consistent with the elevation of the current block.

[0024] The modifiable parameters include one or a combination of position, orientation and structural size parameters.

[0025] In a preferred solution, a reference position is provided in the virtual simulation model, and the reference position includes a preset initial elevation, an adapted component type and a limited structural size parameter; The interactive component is provided with a reference, the reference is aligned with a reference position provided in the virtual simulation model, and the interactive component is a preset value along the vertical direction, that is, the interactive component is in the vertical direction, and the modifiable direction is the direction of vertical rotation.

[0026] The preferred solution is Figure 1 , 2 In the controller, the controller includes a moving component 100 and a positioning component 200; The movable component 100 includes a first part 3 and a second part 4, the first part 3 and the second part 4 can rotate relative to each other, a rotation angle sensor is provided between the first part 3 and the second part 4, and the relative rotation between the first part 3 and the second part 4 is used to output instructions for controlling the interactive component to rotate along a vertical axis; optionally, the first part 3 and the second part 4 are cylindrical, and the first part 3 and the second part 4 are connected by a vertical axis so that the first part 3 and the second part 4 can rotate relative to each other, and the rotation angle sensor adopts an absolute encoder or a photoelectric sensor.

[0027] The first part 3 is provided with a knob 1, which is used to output instructions for controlling the overall zooming of the interactive component; the knob 1 is a rotatable knob located at the top of the first part 3, and outputs a rotation angle signal. In addition to zooming, the knob 1 is also used to select the component to be interacted with.

[0028] The first part 3 is provided with an interactive button 2 for outputting a confirmation instruction; A photoelectric sensor is provided at the bottom center of the second portion 4, and the photoelectric sensor is used to output instructions for position changes of the interactive component; the photoelectric sensor is preferably a displacement detection photoelectric sensor of a mouse.

[0029] The positioning component 200 is provided with a sensor for detecting the position of the moving component 100. In a preferred solution, the positioning component is divided into an assignment area 5 and a positioning area 6, the assignment area 5 is used to assign interactive components to the moving component of the controller, and the knob 1 is used to select the interactive component.

[0030] In a preferred solution, in the positioning area 6, the moving component is moved to determine the position of the interactive component, the first part 3 is rotated to determine the direction of the interactive component, and the knob 1 is used to control the scaling ratio of the component. Preferably, a resistance or capacitance sensor is provided in the assignment area 5 and the positioning area 6 of the positioning component 200 to detect whether the moving component 100 is placed at the current position. Combined with these sensors, the present invention enables non-professionals to express and even participate in landscape design conveniently and quickly, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of communication.

[0031] Embodiment 2: A method using the above virtual simulation landscape design communication system comprises the following steps: S1. The virtual landscape simulation system establishes a connection with the controller; the connection is usually established by wireless communication, and the wireless communication protocol includes 2.4G or Bluetooth.

[0032] S2, such as Figure 3 In the example, the assignment area 5 of the positioning component 200 detects the mobile component 100, and the virtual landscape simulation system enters the component selection mode to be assigned; considering that the mobile component is used by non-professionals, most operations are in batch mode. The commonly used process should be that the mobile component 100 falls on the assignment area 5, and the sensor of the assignment area 5 detects the mobile component 100, sends a signal to the virtual landscape simulation system, and the virtual landscape simulation system pops up a window to ask whether to enter the component selection mode to be assigned, and then clicks to confirm, and then enters the component selection mode to be assigned, or enters by clicking a button in the interface, but for non-professionals, the above operations are too cumbersome and at a loss. Therefore, in the present invention, the above operation process is omitted, and the virtual landscape simulation system directly enters the component selection mode to be assigned after the mobile component 100 is detected.

[0033] The user turns the knob 1 of the moving part 100 to select a component; When the mobile component 100 leaves the positioning area 6 and the positioning area 6 does not detect the mobile component 100, the virtual landscape simulation system assigns the code of the last selected component to the mobile component 100; similarly, commonly used selections require a confirmation operation after selection before the code of the selected component is assigned to the mobile component 100. This step is also omitted in the present invention to greatly improve efficiency.

[0034] In a preferred solution, as in step S2, when the moving part 100 enters the assignment area 5, it enters the component selection mode to be assigned, and when the moving part 100 exits the assignment area 5, it exits the component selection mode to be assigned; Components are selected using a selection tree. Knob 1 selects in the current level of the selection tree, and pressing interactive button 2 enters the next level of the selection tree. Using a selection tree can improve selection efficiency when there are many components.

[0035] S3, the positioning area 6 of the positioning component 200 detects the moving component 100, and the virtual landscape simulation system enters the component assembly mode; similarly, this step also adopts the detection and entry mode, which greatly improves the efficiency.

[0036] In a preferred solution, in step S3, a position matching the corresponding component is provided in the landscape interface, and when it is not placed in the matching position, it is prompted that it cannot be implemented.

[0037] like Figure 4 , 5 In the embodiment, the moving part 100 is moved to move the component in the landscape interface, the first part 3 is rotated to adjust the direction of the component, and the knob 1 is rotated to scale the component within the permitted range; Press the interactive button 2 to exit the component assembly mode, and the current component and the landscape interface become a whole; In a preferred solution, when re-editing is required in the allocation component selection mode, the mobile component 100 leaves the assignment area 5 and re-enters the assignment area 5. When the assignment area 5 detects the signal that the mobile component 100 leaves and re-enters the assignment area 5, the virtual landscape simulation system enters the to-be-allocated component selection mode and initializes. The initialization here refers to the initialization of the assignment of the mobile component 100. When re-editing is required in the component assembly mode, press and hold the interactive button 2 to enter the re-editing mode, and use the knob 1 to select the previously edited component according to the editing time or adjacent distance. After selecting, release the interactive button 2 to enter the component assembly mode and assemble the currently selected component again.

[0038] The above steps enable rapid design communication. The present invention reduces the difficulty of operation for non-professionals by intelligently reducing the operation steps, allowing non-professionals to participate in part of the design work, increasing the sense of participation of the owner, and making the communication between designers and owners smoother and more convenient, greatly improving the efficiency of communication, and also facilitating the plan to reduce the number of repeated revisions and reducing the difficulty of plan revisions.

The protection scope of the present invention shall be the technical solutions recorded in the claims, including equivalent replacement solutions of the technical features in the technical solutions recorded in the claims. That is, equivalent replacement improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
