[0040] Example 1:

[0041] like Figures 3-5 A virtual simulation landscape design communication system includes a virtual landscape simulation system. Within 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. Within the design scene, geographic environment parameters are set based on the actual parameters of the project site. The geographic environment parameters are generated using an existing GIS (Geographic Information System). The interactive components are three-dimensional models of buildings or landscape materials.

[0042] like Figure 1 、 2 In the embodiment, a controller is further provided, and the controller outputs instructions for setting the interactive components in the virtual simulation model, and the position, direction and structural size parameters of the interactive components are modified through the controller.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the interactive components are independent of the virtual landscape simulation system and are 3D models of buildings or garden elements, including houses, decorative sculptures, plants, lakes, small bridges, etc. The component elevations are set to match the design scene. Specifically, the design scene is divided into multiple blocks, each with its own elevation. The components are set with a base elevation that is consistent with the elevation of the current block.

[0044] The modifiable parameters include one or more combinations of position, orientation and structural size parameters.

[0045] 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 limited structural size parameters;

[0046] The interactive component is provided with a reference, which is aligned with a reference position in the virtual simulation model, and the interactive component is set to 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.

[0047] The preferred solution is Figure 1 、 2 In the embodiment, the controller includes a moving component 100 and a positioning component 200;

[0048] The movable component 100 includes a first part 3 and a second part 4, which 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 the 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.

[0049] The first portion 3 is provided with a knob 1, which is used to output commands for controlling the overall zooming of the interactive components. Knob 1 is a rotatable knob located at the top of the first portion 3 and outputs a rotation angle signal. In addition to zooming, knob 1 is also used to select the component to be interacted with.

[0050] The first part 3 is provided with an interactive button 2 for outputting a confirmation instruction;

[0051] A photoelectric sensor is provided at the bottom center of the second portion 4 , and 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.

[0052] The positioning component 200 is provided with a sensor for detecting the position of the moving component 100. In a preferred embodiment, 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.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, in positioning area 6, moving the movable component determines the position of the interactive component, rotating the first portion 3 determines the direction of the interactive component, and the knob 1 controls the component scaling. Preferably, resistance or capacitance sensors are provided in the assignment area 5 and positioning area 6 of the positioning component 200 to detect whether the movable component 100 is currently positioned. Combined with these sensors, the present invention enables non-professionals to conveniently and quickly express and even participate in landscape design, significantly improving communication efficiency.

[0054] Example 2:

[0055] A method using the above-mentioned virtual simulation landscape design communication system includes the following steps:

[0056] 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.

[0057] S2, such as Figure 3In 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, 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 asking 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. Alternatively, it can enter by clicking a button in the interface. However, for non-professionals, the above operation is too cumbersome and they are 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 detecting the mobile component 100.

[0058] The user turns the knob 1 of the moving part 100 to select a component;

[0059] 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.

[0060] 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;

[0061] Components are selected using a selection tree. Knob 1 selects within the current level of the selection tree, and pressing interactive button 2 moves to the next level. Using a selection tree can improve selection efficiency when there are many components.

[0062] 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-entry mode, which greatly improves efficiency.

[0063] In a preferred solution, in step S3, a position adapted to the corresponding component is provided in the landscape interface, and when it is not placed in the adapted position, a prompt is given that it cannot be achieved.

[0064] like Figure 4 、 5 In the process, move the moving part 100 to move the component in the landscape interface, turn the first part 3 to adjust the direction of the component, and turn the knob 1 to scale the component within the permitted range;

[0065] Pressing the interactive button 2 will exit the component assembly mode, and the current component and the landscape interface will become a whole;

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, when re-editing is required in the assigned 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 has left and re-entered the assignment area 5, the virtual landscape simulation system enters the to-be-assigned component selection mode and initializes. The initialization here refers to the initialization of the assignment of the mobile component 100.

[0067] When re-editing is required in the component assembly mode, press and hold the interactive button 2 to enter the re-editing mode, use the knob 1 to select the previously edited component according to the editing time or adjacent distance, release the interactive button 2 after selection to enter the component assembly mode, and assemble the currently selected component again.

[0068] The above steps enable rapid design communication. This invention reduces the operational difficulty for non-professionals by intelligently reducing the number of operational steps, enabling non-professionals to participate in part of the design work, increasing the owner's sense of participation, and thus making communication between designers and owners smoother and more convenient, significantly improving communication efficiency, and facilitating the reduction of repeated revisions and reducing the difficulty of revisions.

[0069] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be the technical solutions set forth in the claims, including equivalent alternatives to the technical features of the technical solutions set forth in the claims. In other words, equivalent alternatives and improvements within this scope are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
