[0009] In this embodiment, the selection device 1 (see FIG. 9) supports the selection of a main house shape image 20 and a shed layout image 30 (see FIG. 3). In this way, the selection device 1 supports the design of the building 10 (see FIG. 2). Here, the main house shape image 20 represents an image corresponding to the shape (main house shape) of the main house 11 of the building 10. The shed layout image 30 represents an image corresponding to the shape and layout of the shed 12 of the building 10. In this disclosure, a case will be described in which the main house shape image 20 and the shed layout image 30 are plan views.

[0010] Here, the building 10 may be a standardized system building. A standardized system building refers to a building constructed with standardized components. A standardized system building may be a building constructed by combining standardized components. Here, the standardized components may be, for example, all or part of roof components, steel frame components, foundation components, exterior wall components, seismic isolation systems, and building fixtures, or other components.

[0011] The type of the building 10 is not particularly limited. The type of the building 10 may be, for example, a warehouse. The type of the building 10 may be, for example, a factory. The type of the building 10 may be, for example, a residence.

[0012] In this disclosure, the main house 11 refers to the main building in the center of the site. In this disclosure, the shed 12 refers to a smaller building that is attached to the main house 11 and is adjacent to the main house 11. The roof shape of the purlin 11 may affect the shape and arrangement pattern of the shed 12. Here, the pattern refers to a combination of all or a part of the purlin shapes assumed as the shape of the purlin 11, and refers to a combination of all or a part of the shed 12 shapes assumed as the shape and arrangement of the shed 12, in the case of the shed 12. The roof shape of the purlin 11 may be a generally selected roof shape, and is not particularly limited. The roof shape of the purlin 11 may be, for example, a gable roof as shown in FIG. 1(a). FIG. 1(a) shows the ridge of the gable roof in the purlin 11 as a straight line. The arrow displayed on the roof of the purlin 11 indicates the flow direction of the roof (direction in which water flows). The roof shape of the purlin 11 may be, for example, a one-way slope roof as shown in FIG. 1(b1) to (b4). The roof shape of the purlin 11 may be, for example, a three-sided parapet as shown in FIG. 1(c1) to (c4). 1(c1)-(c4), the positions where the parapets are provided are indicated by outlined thick lines. The roof shape of the main building 11 may be, for example, an L-shaped mountain roof as shown in Figs. 1(d1)-(d4).

[0013] Hereinafter, the first shape refers to the type of roof, such as a gabled roof, a single-pitch roof, a three-sided parapet, or an L-shaped gabled roof. The second shape refers to the shape of the main house that includes the flow direction of the roof (e.g., the arrows in each figure) and the structure of the building, as shown in (b1) to (b4) of FIG. 1. Here, the structure of the building refers to the shape of the main house excluding the flow direction of the roof, among the second shapes of the main house. The structure of the building refers to the direction of the L when the main house is an L-shaped building, for example, as shown in (d1) to (d4) of FIG. 1.

[0014] As shown in Figure 2, in the plan view, the lengths of the sides of the surface where the main building 11 and the shed 12 meet are defined as L1 and L2. In this case, as shown in Figure 2(a), the length L2 of the side of the shed 12 may be equal to the length L1 of the side of the main building 11 (L1 = L2), or as shown in Figure 2(b), the length L2 of the side of the shed 12 may be smaller than the length L1 of the side of the main building 11 (L1 > L2).

[0015] 2, in the plan view shown in the present disclosure, the D1 side is the front of the main house 11, the side opposite D1 is the back of the main house 11, the D2 side is the left side of the main house 11, and the side opposite D2 is the right side of the main house 11. For example, when displayed on the screen of the display unit 101 described later, the lower side of the screen may be the front, the upper side of the screen may be the back, the left side of the screen may be the left side, and the right side of the screen may be the right side. In this case, the shed 12 may be located, for example, in front of the main house 11 as shown in Figures 2(a) and (b). The shed 12 may be located, for example, on the back of the main house 11. The shed 12 may be located, for example, on the left side of the main house 11. The shed 12 may be located, for example, on the right side of the main house 11. When the relationship in shape between the main house 11 and the shed 12 is L1>L2, the shed 12 may be disposed, for example, in the center of either side of the main house 11. When the relationship in shape between the main house 11 and the shed 12 is L1>L2 and the shed 12 is disposed on the front or back side of the main house 11, the shed 12 may be disposed, for example, closer to either the D2 side or the opposite side of D2. When the relationship in shape between the main house 11 and the shed 12 is L1>L2 and the shed 12 is disposed on the left or right side of the main house 11, the shed 12 may be disposed, for example, closer to either the D1 side or the opposite side of D1.

[0016] So far, we have explained the case where the main building 11 is simply rectangular in shape, but if the main building shape is L-shaped or has some other shape, an arrangement pattern of the sheds 12 different from the above may be set.

[0017] The selection device 1 in the present disclosure includes a user interface 60, a control unit 61, and a storage unit 62, as shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. The user interface 60 includes a display unit 101 and an input unit 102. As shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, the control unit 61 includes a processor 91, a memory 92, an input information acquisition unit 110, a display control unit 111, a recording unit 112, and a selection unit 113.

[0018] 9 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the selection device 1 of this embodiment. The selection device 1 includes a control unit 61 including a processor 91 such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a memory 92 connected by a bus, and executes a selection program. The selection program is a program that controls the operation of each functional unit included in the selection device 1. The selection device 1 functions as a device including a user interface 60, a control unit 61, and a storage unit 62 by executing the selection program.

[0019] More specifically, in the selection device 1, the processor 91 reads out the input / output support program stored in the storage unit 62, and stores the read selection program in the memory 92. The processor 91 executes the selection program stored in the memory 92, whereby the selection device 1 functions as a device including a user interface 60, a control unit 61, and a storage unit 62.

[0020] The user interface 60 includes a display unit 101 and an input unit 102. The display unit 101 displays various information. The display unit 101 includes an output device such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display, a liquid crystal display, or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display. The display unit 101 may be configured as an interface that connects these output devices to the selection device 1.

[0021] The input unit 102 includes input terminals such as a mouse, a keyboard, and a touch panel. The input unit 102 may be configured as an interface that connects these input terminals to the selection device 1. The input unit 102 accepts input of various information to the selection device 1. The various information is information indicating how the input terminal has been operated (hereinafter referred to as "input terminal operation information").

[0022] The input terminal operation information indicates, for example, main house shape information. The input terminal operation information indicates, for example, the result of selecting main house shape information. The input terminal operation information indicates, for example, shed arrangement information. The input terminal operation information indicates, for example, the result of selecting shed arrangement information. The input terminal operation information indicates, for example, attribute information of the main house 11 and shed 12. Here, the main house shape information refers to a plurality of pieces of information that represent the main house shape, and indicates information used to generate the main house shape image 20. The plurality of pieces of information that represent the main house shape is, for example, roof shape information. The shed arrangement information refers to a plurality of pieces of information that represent the shape and arrangement of the shed 12, and indicates information used to generate the shed arrangement image 30. The attribute information indicates, for example, the material and color of the building 10. In this way, by operating the input terminal, input terminal operation information is input to the input unit 102. The input terminal operation information may be, for example, an operation to instruct the display unit 101 to change the screen displayed.

[0023] The display unit 101 and the input unit 102 may be configured as an integrated touch panel.

[0024] The control unit 61 controls the operation of each functional unit included in the selection device 1. The control unit 61 controls, for example, the operation of the display unit 101. The control unit 61 records, for example, in the storage unit 62, purlin shape information and shed arrangement information.

[0025] The storage unit 62 is configured using a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium device such as a magnetic hard disk device, a semiconductor storage device, etc. The storage unit 62 stores various information related to the selection device 1. The storage unit 62 stores, for example, a selection program in advance.

[0026] The storage unit 62 stores, for example, purlin shape information in advance. The storage unit 62 stores, for example, shed layout information in advance. The storage unit 62 may store the purlin shape information and the shed layout information in association with each other.

[0027] The storage unit 62 stores, for example, in advance a purlin shape image 20. The storage unit 62 stores, for example, a shed arrangement image in advance. The purlin shape image 20 and the shed arrangement image 30 stored in the storage unit 62 may be generated in advance.

[0028] The storage unit 62 stores, for example, in advance, information indicating the size of the display unit 101 (hereinafter referred to as "display unit size information"). The storage unit 62 stores, for example, in advance, coordinates of each position on the display unit 101 (hereinafter referred to as "display coordinate information").

[0029] The storage unit 62 stores, for example, in advance, information indicating the correspondence between input terminal operation information and the processing executed by the control unit 61 (hereinafter referred to as "operation-dependent processing information").

[0030] An example of the operation-dependent process information is information indicating a purlin shape information display process, which is a process for displaying input purlin shape information on the display unit 101 when a predetermined operation for inputting purlin shape information is performed on the input terminal.

[0031] An example of the operation-dependent processing information is information indicating an active information recording process, which is a process of recording in the storage unit 62 that the selected image is being selected when a predetermined operation for selecting an image being displayed on the display unit 101 is performed on the input terminal.

[0032] The operation-dependent process information is information indicating a process for changing the display of the area A2, the area A3, and the area A4 in accordance with the input purlin shape information (see FIGS. 4 to 6).

[0033] The storage unit 62 stores, for example, in advance, candidate image related information, which is information about each image (hereinafter referred to as "candidate image") that may be displayed on the display unit 101. For example, as will be described later, a combination image 70 as shown in Fig. 3, and an image displayed in an area A1, an image displayed in an area A2, an image displayed in an area A3, and an image displayed in an area A4 as shown in Fig. 4 are all examples of candidate images. In addition, the candidate image related information includes information indicating the size of each candidate image.

[0034] 10 is a diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the control unit 61 in the embodiment. The control unit 61 includes an input information acquisition unit 110, a display control unit 111, a recording unit 112, and a selection unit 113.

[0035] The input information acquisition unit 110 acquires information input to the input unit 102 .

[0036] The display control unit 111 controls the display of the display unit 101 based on at least the basic operation information recorded in the storage unit 62. The basic operation information is display unit size information, display coordinate information, operation-dependent processing information, and candidate image related information. For example, based on information indicating an operation of an input terminal input to the input unit 102, the display control unit 111 refers to the operation-dependent processing information, display unit size information, and display coordinate information and executes the processing indicated by the operation-dependent processing information.

[0037] The display control unit 111, for example, controls the operation of the display unit 101 to cause the display unit 101 to display part or all of the purlin shape information input to the input unit 102 as a purlin shape image 20 (see FIG. 3). The display control unit 111 may, for example, control the operation of the display unit 101 to cause the display unit 101 to display part or all of the shed arrangement information input to the input unit 102 as a shed arrangement image 30, or may cause the display unit 101 to display both the purlin shape image 20 and the shed arrangement image 30.

[0038] Hereinafter, the process of displaying part or all of the purlin shape information and the shed arrangement information input to the input unit 102 on the display unit 101 as an image is referred to as image display process. Here, the image is, for example, a plan view, and refers to an image showing the shape of the building 10. 3 to 6 are examples of images displayed on the display unit 101 as a result of the image display process.

[0039] Here, as a result of the image display processing, the main house shape image 20 and the shed layout image 30 may be displayed on the display unit 101. The main house shape image 20 and the shed layout image 30 do not necessarily need to be displayed separately, and an image combining the main house shape information and the shed layout information may be displayed. When the main house shape image 20 and the shed layout image 30 are displayed separately, the main house shape image 20 and the shed layout image 30 may be displayed simultaneously on one screen, or one of the main house shape image 20 and the shed layout image 30 may be selected and then the other displayed.

[0040] The purlin shape image 20 may include a main purlin shape image 20a and a sub purlin shape image 20b, which will be described later (see FIG. 4).

[0041] The display control unit 111, for example, controls the operation of the display unit 101 to cause the selection unit 113 to select part or all of the purlin shape information input to the input unit 102 and display it on the display unit 101 as a purlin shape image 20. The purlin shape information is selected by the selection unit 113, for example, based on roof shape information. Hereinafter, the process of selecting part or all of the purlin shape information input to the input unit 102 by the selection unit 113 and displaying it on the display unit 101 as a purlin shape image 20 is referred to as the selected image display process. The information selected by the selection unit 113 is not limited to the purlin shape information, but may be a part or all of the shed layout information, or may be both the purlin shape information and the shed layout information.

[0042] The recording unit 112 records various types of information in the storage unit 62 .

[0043] The selection method will be described below. (First embodiment) The selection method of the first embodiment is a method for selecting the shape of the building 10, and includes a display control step S101, a layout selection step S102, and a creation step S103, as shown in the flowchart of Fig. 7. The first embodiment will be described below with reference to Figs. 3 and 7.

[0044] The display control step S101 in the first embodiment refers to a step of displaying on the display unit 101 a plurality of purlin shape images 20 each corresponding to the purlin shape of the building 10 and a plurality of shed arrangement images 30 each corresponding to the shape and arrangement of the shed 12 of the building 10, as shown in Fig. 3 for example. The display control step S101 is performed by the display control unit 111, for example. The layout selection step S102 in the first embodiment refers to a step of having a user select one of the plurality of purlin shape images 20 displayed on the display unit 101 by the display control step S101 and one of the plurality of shed layout images 30 displayed on the display unit 101 by the display control step S101. The selection device 1 accepts the user's selection result. In the first embodiment, the layout selection step S102 includes a purlin selection step S102a and a shed layout selection step S102b. The layout selection step S102 is performed by the user via the input unit 102, for example.

[0045] The multiple purlin shape images 20 corresponding respectively to the purlin shapes of the building 10 may be, for example, multiple images showing a first shape pattern of the purlin 11, or multiple images including the first and second shape patterns of the purlin 11. For example, the purlin shape image 20 may be an image showing only the type of roof (only the first shape), or may be an image showing the flow direction of the roof in addition to the type of roof (the first shape and the second shape). If the main house shape image 20 does not include a pattern of the second shape, the multiple shed arrangement images 30 may include a pattern of the second shape of the main house 11. In that case, only the first shape of the main house 11 is selected by selecting the main house shape image 20, and the arrangement of the shed 12 and the second shape of the main house 11 are selected by selecting the shed arrangement image 30.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 3, the image displayed by the display control step S101 may be a combination of the main house shape image 20 and the shed layout image 30. Displaying the main house shape image 20 and the shed layout image 30 in combination means displaying an image combining each of the main house shape patterns with each of the shed 12 shape and layout patterns. In this case, the main house shape image 20 and the shed layout image 30 are selected simultaneously with a single selection in the layout selection step S102. Hereinafter, the image displayed by combining the main house shape image 20 and the shed layout image 30 is referred to as a combined image 70. FIG. 3 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 101. This screen shows a list of combination images 70 in which the purlin shape is a gable roof. On this screen, the combination images 70 are arranged in a matrix in the vertical and horizontal directions of the screen. Of the multiple combination images 70, the purlins 11 all have the same shape (rectangular in the illustrated example) and the same size. These users select multiple combination images 70 using the input unit 102. The selected combination images 70 may be highlighted. Examples of highlighting include changing the background color of the image and thickening the image frame. Here, in Figure 3, among the multiple combination images 70, an image in which only the main building is displayed means that a shed is not arranged, and can be said to be a type of shed arrangement image 30 that means that a shed is not arranged.

[0047] Each of the multiple purlin shape images 20 and the multiple shed layout images 30 may be displayed in one screen, or only a part of the images may be displayed in one screen. When only a part of the images are displayed in one screen, the images may be displayed in a scrollable manner using a scroll bar B. In FIG. 3, all of the purlin shapes in the combination image 70 displayed on the screen are gabled roofs. This screen displays the shed shapes and arrangement patterns when the purlin shape is a gabled roof. Other purlin shapes may be displayed by scrolling the screen using scroll bar B. Alternatively, as in the second embodiment described below, instead of displaying the combination image 70, the purlin shape image 20 may be displayed separately from the shed arrangement image 30, and the display control unit 111 may display on the display unit 101 only the shed arrangement image 30 that corresponds to the purlin shape selected in the purlin shape image 20.

[0048] The selection method in the first embodiment further includes a creation step S103 of creating and displaying a perspective drawing of the building 10. At this time, the perspective drawing of the building 10 is created and displayed based on the purlin shape information corresponding to the purlin shape image 20 selected in the layout selection step S102 and the shed layout information corresponding to the shed layout image 30. The perspective drawing is created by the control unit 61, for example, and displayed by the display control unit 111. The drawing displayed in the creation step S103 is not limited to a perspective drawing. The drawing created in the creation step S103 may be, for example, an exterior view of the building 10, a three-dimensional image of the building 10, or a 3D model of the building 10. The selection method does not have to include the creation step S103.

[0049] Second embodiment The selection method of the second embodiment is a method for selecting the shape of the building 10, and includes a first shape display control step S201, a first shape selection step S202, a roof shape determination step S203, a second shape display control step S204, a second shape selection step S205, a relative position display control step S206, a relative position selection step S207, an arrangement display control step S208, an arrangement selection step S209, a parapet determination step S210, a flow direction display step S211 (parapet display step S213), a flow direction selection step S212 (parapet selection step S214), an attribute determination step S215, a reception step S216, and a creation step S217, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. Fig. 4 is a first example of a screen display of the display unit 101 in the second embodiment, and Fig. 5 is a second example of a screen display of the display unit 101 in the second embodiment (however, Figs. 4 and 5 show the final screen after various selection steps are performed). The second embodiment will be described below with reference to Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 8.

[0050] The first shape display control step S201 in the second embodiment refers to a step of displaying on the display unit 101 a plurality of main purlin shape images 20a each corresponding to a purlin shape of the building 10 as shown in FIG. 4. The main purlin shape image 20a is displayed by the display control unit 111. The first shape selection step S202 in the second embodiment refers to a step of having the user select one of the plurality of main purlin shape images 20a displayed on the display unit 101 by the first shape display control step S201. The first shape selection step S202 is performed by the user via the input unit 102, for example. The selection device 1 accepts the selection result from the user. The main purlin shape image 20a represents an image showing the first shape of the main house 11. In the main purlin shape image 20a in the second embodiment, the first shape of the main house 11 is shown as "Gable roof", "Single-pitch roof", "Three-sided parapet", "Gable L-shape", "Single-pitch L-shape", "L-shape parapet", and "Gable-shaped connected roof" in the form of text. The main purlin shape image 20a may display, for example, a plan view showing the first shape of the main house 11. The main purlin shape image 20a is displayed in area A1 located at the top of the screen shown in FIG. 4.

[0051] When "mounted roof" or "mounted connected roof" is selected as the purlin shape as shown in FIG. 5, a center pillar selection image 50 may be displayed, allowing the user to select whether or not to have a center pillar. The center pillar selection image 50 is preferably displayed after the purlin shape is selected. The center pillar selection image 50 is displayed by the display control unit 111. The display of the center pillar selection image 50 may be included in, for example, a flow direction display step S211 described later. The display of the center pillar selection image 50 is performed by, for example, the display control unit 111.

[0052] The second shape display control step S204 in the second embodiment refers to a step of displaying on the display unit 101 a plurality of sub purlin shape images 20b, each of which corresponds to the purlin shape of the building 10 as shown in FIG. 4. The sub purlin shape images 20b are displayed by the display control unit 111. The second shape selection step S205 in the second embodiment refers to a step of having the user select one of the plurality of sub purlin shape images 20b displayed on the display unit 101 by the second shape display control step S204. The selection device 1 accepts the selection result from the user. The second shape selection step S205 is performed by the user via the input unit 102, for example. The sub-purlin shape image 20b represents an image showing the second shape of the main house 11. In the sub-purlin shape image 20b in this embodiment, a pattern of the second shape of the main house 11 corresponding to the first shape of the main house 11 selected in the first shape selection step S202 is shown as a plan view. The sub-purlin shape image 20b is displayed in area A2 located in the middle of the screen shown in Fig. 4. Note that the sub-purlin shape image 20b may be displayed as a corresponding image after the shape of the main house 11 is selected from the main purlin shape image 20a.

[0053] In the second embodiment, a roof shape determination step S203 is provided to determine whether or not the roof shape of the selected main building 11 is "peaked roof". The determination may be performed by, for example, the control unit 61. If it is determined in the roof shape determination step S203 that "peaked roof" has been selected, there is no pattern that can be selected as the second shape. Therefore, if it is determined in the roof shape determination step S203 that "peaked roof" has been selected, the second shape display control step S204 and the second shape selection step S205 described below may be omitted.

[0054] The first shape display control step S201 and the second shape display control step S204 may be performed as one step. Specifically, the selection device 1 may combine the first shape and the second shape of the main house 11 and display them as a plurality of main house shape images 20. In this case, the first shape selection step S202 and the second shape selection step S205 may be performed as one step, and the first shape and the second shape of the main house 11 may be selected in one selection. This step is performed by the user via the input unit 102, for example.
