Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method, a program, and an information processing device for generating a building plan. [Background technology]

[0002] The following patent document describes an invention for a method for automatically generating plans for a building to be constructed on a site. In this invention, the building plan is determined so as to satisfy the building regulations (set line restrictions, height restrictions, building coverage ratio, etc.) of the site location and to maximize the number of dwelling units in order to increase profitability. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7283829 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] There are two types of building regulations: regulations that are always applied regardless of the building plan (such as regulations on floor area ratio and building coverage ratio), and regulations that may or may not be applied depending on the building plan (such as regulations on one-room dwelling units). The method described in the above-mentioned patent document involves a loop process that repeatedly changes the building plan (such as the number of dwelling units) in order to maximize the number of dwelling units while satisfying the requirements of the latter regulations (special regulations).

[0005] Special regulations also include those governing common areas (such as a caretaker's office or bicycle parking area) on the first floor of a building. A change in the total number of units in a building can significantly change the area required for the common areas on the first floor. A significant change in the area of ​​the common areas significantly changes the area available for use as dwelling units. Therefore, if the number of dwelling units or their area are changed accordingly, the total number of dwelling units and total floor area of ​​the building will also change significantly. A significant change in the total number of dwelling units or total floor area can easily change the applicability of special regulations, potentially necessitating further changes to the building plan. When attempting to determine the first-floor plan (the area of ​​dwelling units and the area of ​​common areas) within a loop process such as that described in the aforementioned patent document, significant changes in the total number of dwelling units or total floor area can result in alternating changes between the applicability of special regulations and changes to the building plan, potentially preventing the loop process from terminating. To avoid this, the method described in the aforementioned patent document determines the first-floor plan after performing the loop process. However, this method does not allow for determining the number and area of ​​first-floor dwelling units so as to maximize the total number of units, and therefore tends to generate plans with a small total number of units.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a method, program, and information processing device for generating a building plan in which the number and area of ​​dwelling units from the first floor to the top floor are determined so as to maximize the number of dwelling units while satisfying the requirements of building regulations. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] A second aspect of the present invention is a program including instructions for causing an information processing device to perform a process for generating a building plan, wherein the process performed by the information processing device in accordance with the instructions includes each step of the method according to the first aspect.

[0009] A third aspect of the present invention is an information processing device that performs processing to generate a building plan, the information processing device having a processing unit and a memory unit that stores instructions to be executed by the processing unit, and the processing performed by the processing unit in accordance with the instructions includes each step of the method according to the first aspect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] First Embodiment Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a system according to this embodiment. The system shown in the example of Fig. 1 includes an information processing device 1 and a terminal device 3 that are capable of communicating with each other via a communication network 9 such as the Internet. The information processing device 1 is an example of an information processing device of the present invention.

[0014] 1, a process is performed to provide information about building plans to a terminal device 3 that has accessed an information processing device 1. When a specific site is designated on the terminal device 3 operated by a user, a building plan is generated that satisfies the building regulations (set line restrictions, height restrictions, building coverage ratio, floor area ratio, etc.) for the location of the site and maximizes the number of dwelling units to obtain the greatest possible profit, and this building plan is displayed on the terminal device 3.

[0015] First, some terms used in this specification will be explained.

[0016] "Normal Regulation": Regular regulations are regulations related to construction that are always applied regardless of the building plan. For example, regulations related to building coverage ratio and floor area ratio fall into the category of regular regulations.

[0017] "Special Regulations": Special regulations are building regulations whose application depends on whether certain conditions are met. Whether or not special regulations are applicable depends on the building plan. For example, regulations regarding one-room apartments, bicycle parking areas, caretaker's offices, disaster preparedness storage warehouses, corridor widths, and stairs are all examples of special regulations.

[0018] "Housing Regulations": Dwelling unit regulations are special regulations related to the area and number of dwelling units in a building, such as special regulations regarding one-room dwelling units.

[0019] "First common area": The first common area is a common area with an area corresponding to each individual dwelling unit, such as a hallway or balcony.

[0020] "Second common area": Secondary common areas are common areas that have an area independent of individual dwelling units, such as stairs, elevators, caretaker's offices, and bicycle parking areas.

[0021] "1st floor common area": First floor common areas are specific second common areas located on the first floor, such as bicycle parking areas, motorcycle parking areas, mail corners, entrances, evacuation routes, caretaker's offices, and garbage disposal areas.

[0022] "Basic Dwelling Unit": A basic dwelling unit is a dwelling unit whose number in a building is regulated by dwelling unit regulations and whose exclusive area is smaller than a specified area (first area). A basic dwelling unit is also called a one-room dwelling unit.

[0023] "Specific dwelling unit": A designated dwelling unit is a dwelling unit whose number in a building is regulated by dwelling unit regulations and has an exclusive area of ​​at least a specified area (second area) that is equal to or greater than the first area that is the standard for a basic dwelling unit. Designated dwelling units are also called family dwelling units.

[0024] "Standard dwelling unit": A standard dwelling unit is a dwelling unit with a designated area of ​​exclusive use.

[0025] "Basic standard dwelling unit": A basic standard dwelling unit is a standard dwelling unit having an exclusive area with a predetermined minimum area that is smaller than the first area that serves as the standard for a basic dwelling unit. The minimum area is set, for example, by the user.

[0026] "Specific standard dwelling unit": A specific standard dwelling unit is a standard dwelling unit with an exclusive area equal to the second area that serves as the standard for a specific dwelling unit.

[0027] "Standard floor area": The standard floor area is the floor area of ​​a single floor where all the dwelling units are standard dwelling units.

[0028] "Area Set": The area set is a combination of the area of ​​the exclusive area and the area of ​​the common area of ​​each standard dwelling unit included in the standard floor area. The area set includes the area of ​​the first common area and the area of ​​the second common area according to the number of standard dwelling units.

[0029] "Building Range": The building envelope is the three-dimensional area within which a building can be constructed on a site. The building envelope is determined to meet the requirements of the regulations that apply to the site location. For example, the building envelope must meet requirements such as building height restrictions, slope restrictions (road slope restrictions, neighboring land slope restrictions, north side slope restrictions), setback from the site boundary, and building coverage ratio.

[0030] "First Building Plan": The first building plan is a plan relating to the number of floors and floor area of ​​each floor of the building. The first building plan is created to maximize the total number of units in the building, while keeping the building within the construction area and each floor of the building having a specified floor height.

[0031] "Second Building Plan": The second building plan is a plan that shows the area of ​​each dwelling unit's exclusive area relative to the floor area of ​​each floor of the building, and the area of ​​the common areas relative to the floor area of ​​each floor of the building. The second building plan is created to maximize the total number of units in the building while satisfying at least the following requirements: Each floor of the building has a floor area determined by the first building plan. · The total floor area of ​​the building meets the floor area ratio requirements. · The number of specified dwelling units meets the requirements of the dwelling unit regulations. · Dwelling units other than designated dwelling units are basic dwelling units with exclusive areas exceeding the set minimum area.

[0032] Next, each device in the system shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

[0033] [Information processing device 1] The information processing device 1 performs a process of automatically generating a building plan for a specified site. For example, the information processing device 1 includes one or more computers connected to a communication network 9. The information processing device 1 shown in the example of FIG. 1 includes a communication unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a processing unit 13.

[0034] The communication unit 11 communicates with other devices (such as the terminal device 3) via the communication network 9. The communication unit 11 includes a device (such as a network interface card) that communicates in accordance with a predetermined communication standard such as Ethernet (registered trademark) or wireless LAN.

[0035] The storage unit 12 stores one or more programs 121 including instructions executable by the processing unit 13, data temporarily saved during processing by the processing unit 13, data used in processing by the processing unit 13, data obtained as a result of processing by the processing unit 13, etc. The storage unit 12 may include, for example, a main storage device (RAM, ROM, etc.) and an auxiliary storage device (flash memory, SSD, hard disk, memory card, optical disk, etc.). The storage unit 12 may be composed of one storage device or multiple storage devices. When the storage unit 12 is composed of multiple storage devices, each storage device is connected to the processing unit 13 via a computer bus or any other data transmission means.

[0036] The processing unit 13 controls the overall operation of the information processing device 1 and executes predetermined information processing. The processing unit 13 includes, for example, one or more processors (such as a central processing unit (CPU), a micro-processing unit (MPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), a graphics processing unit (GPU), or a neural network processing unit (NPU)) that execute processing in accordance with instructions of one or more programs 121 stored in the storage unit 12. The processing unit 13 operates as one or more computers by the one or more processors executing instructions of one or more programs 121 stored in the storage unit 12. The information processing device 1 may include multiple computers, and at least a part of the processing according to this embodiment may be executed by the multiple computers in cooperation with each other.

[0037] The processing unit 13 may include one or more dedicated hardware (such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)) configured to realize a specific function. The processing unit 13 may execute all of the processes described in this embodiment in one or more computers, or may execute at least some of the processes in dedicated hardware.

[0038] The program 121 may be recorded, for example, on a computer-readable recording medium (such as an optical disc, a memory card, a USB memory, or other non-transitory tangible medium). The processing unit 13 may read at least a portion of the one or more programs 121 recorded on such a recording medium using a recording medium reading device (such as an optical disc device) or an interface device (such as a USB interface), not shown, and write the read at least a portion of the one or more programs 121 to the storage unit 12. Alternatively, the processing unit 13 may download at least a portion of the one or more programs 121 from another device connected to the communication network 9 via the communication unit 11 and write the downloaded program to the storage unit 12. The one or more programs 121 may include instructions that cause the processing unit 13 to execute at least a portion of the processing according to this embodiment, which will be described later.

[0039] The storage device 2 stores various information used in the processing of the information processing device 1. The information processing device 1 and the storage device 2 can communicate with each other via any communication means (LAN, dedicated line network, Internet, etc.). For example, the storage device 2 may be included in a file server or database server that accepts access from multiple devices, or may be a dedicated storage device that can be accessed only by the information processing device 1. In the example of FIG. 1, the storage device 2 stores a regulation database 21, a map database 22, and an area information database 23. In the following description, database may be abbreviated to "DB."

[0040] The regulation DB 21 includes regulation information on building regulations established according to the location of a site. The regulation information includes, for example, information on the location of the site and information on regulations that apply to that location (such as slope restrictions, height restrictions, building coverage ratios, floor area ratios, and one-room ordinances).

[0041] The map DB 22 includes various types of information that constitute a map, such as information about land boundaries, land attributes (sites, roads, rivers, etc.), and location (address) information.

[0042] The area information DB23 includes area information relating to the areas of building elements (e.g., dwelling units, common areas) included on one floor of a building. Fig. 2 shows an example of information included in one piece of area information. In the example of Fig. 2, one piece of area information includes exclusive use area information, first common area information, second common area information, and special regulation information.

[0043] The exclusive use area information includes information on the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​a standard dwelling unit included on one floor. For example, the exclusive use area information includes information on the first area that serves as the standard for a basic dwelling unit and information on the second area that serves as the standard for a specific dwelling unit. If multiple second areas are specified in the dwelling unit regulations, the exclusive use area information includes those multiple second areas.

[0044] The first common area information includes information regarding the area of ​​the first common area, which has an area corresponding to each standard dwelling unit. If the area of ​​the first common area varies in accordance with various rules (special regulations, etc.), the first common area information may also include information regarding a calculation formula or calculation procedure for calculating the area of ​​the first common area. For example, the first common area information may include a calculation formula for calculating the area of ​​the first common area based on parameters such as the area of ​​the corresponding standard dwelling unit, the total number of units in the building, the total floor area, the number of floors of the target floor, the number of floors in the entire building, the building height, the site area, and the building area.

[0045] The second common area information includes information regarding the area of ​​the second common area, which has an area independent of each standard dwelling unit. If the area of ​​the second common area changes in accordance with various rules (special regulations, etc.), the second common area information may include information regarding a calculation formula or calculation procedure for calculating the area of ​​the second common area. For example, the second common area information may include a calculation formula for calculating the area of ​​the second common area based on parameters such as the total number of units in the building, the total floor area, the number of floors of the target floor, the number of floors of the entire building, the building height, the site area, and the building area.

[0046] The special regulation information includes information on special regulations related to the areas of exclusive use areas and common areas. When information on special regulations that apply to the site where a building is to be constructed is obtained in the regulation DB 21, it becomes possible to obtain area information that includes special regulation information that matches this special regulation information from the area information DB 23.

[0047] The information processing device 1 uses the above-mentioned exclusive area information, first common area information, and second common area information of the area information to obtain the area of ​​the exclusive area and the area of ​​the common area of ​​each dwelling unit included in the area set of the standard floor area.

[0048] [Terminal device 3] The terminal device 3 is a device equipped with information and communication functions, such as a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone, and is operated by a user who views information related to the building plan. In the example of FIG. 1, there is one terminal device 3, but there may be multiple terminal devices 3. The terminal device 3 includes a processing unit, a memory unit, and a communication unit similar to the communication unit 11, memory unit 12, and processing unit 13 of the information processing device 1. The terminal device 3 also includes an input unit (touch panel, mouse, keyboard, etc.) for inputting user instructions to the processing unit, and a display unit (liquid crystal display, organic EL display, projector, etc.) for displaying information.

[0049] Here, a description will be given of processing related to the generation of a building plan performed in the information processing device 1 having the above-described configuration. Fig. 3 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the building plan generation processing according to the first embodiment. Step ST100 is an example of a regulatory information acquisition step of the present invention. Step ST105 is an example of a construction area determination step of the present invention. Step ST110 is an example of a first building plan generating step of the present invention. Step ST115 is an example of a second building plan generating step of the present invention.

[0050] ST100: When a user inputs a user instruction to display a plan of a building that can be constructed on a specific site, such as by a user operation of specifying a specific site on a map displayed on the display or a user operation of inputting the address of the specific site, the terminal device 3 transmits a request to generate a building plan in accordance with the user instruction to the information processing device 1. When the information processing device 1 receives the request to generate a building plan from the terminal device 3, it acquires information necessary for generating the requested building plan. For example, the information processing device 1 acquires information about the boundary line of the site on which the building is to be constructed, information about neighboring land or roads adjacent to the boundary line of the site, and information about building regulations that may be applicable to the location of the site from the regulation DB 21 and the map DB 22. In this case, the information processing device 1 may acquire, from the terminal device 3, information about the building's floor height (height per floor), information about the minimum area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​the dwelling unit, information about the building's frontage, information specifying whether or not a balcony is provided, and the like, as information about the building specifications desired by the user.

[0051] ST105: Next, the information processing device 1 determines the three-dimensional construction range of the building on the site based on the information acquired in step ST100. That is, the information processing device 1 determines the construction range so as to satisfy the requirements of regulations related to the construction range that are applied as building regulations (hereinafter referred to as "construction range regulations") and the building coverage ratio requirements. The construction range regulations include, for example, building height restrictions, slope restrictions (road slope restrictions, neighboring land slope restrictions, north side slope restrictions), setback from the site boundary, etc. For example, the information processing device 1 determines the widest construction range that satisfies the requirements of the construction range regulations and the building coverage ratio requirements.

[0052] When determining the construction area, the information processing device 1 sets a two-dimensional area (hereinafter referred to as "intra-site area") formed by setting back each boundary line of the site inward. For example, the information processing device 1 sets back each boundary line of the site inward by a predetermined distance to form an initial intra-site area.

[0053] If at least one area boundary line of the site area violates the requirements of the regulations (setback) regarding the setback distance from the site boundary line in the building area regulations, the information processing device 1 forms an area within the site in which the at least one area boundary line is set back from the site boundary line so as to satisfy the requirements of this regulation.

[0054] When building area regulations regarding height restrictions and slope restrictions are applied, the information processing device 1 sets the upper boundary surface of the building area so as to satisfy the requirements of these regulations. The information processing device 1 also sets the side boundary surfaces of the building area that extend vertically on the area boundary line within the site area.

[0055] If the construction area of ​​the building corresponding to the area of ​​the site area does not satisfy the building coverage ratio requirements, the information processing device 1 sets back the area boundary line of the site area corresponding to the side boundary surface that meets the upper boundary surface of the construction range at its lowest point, relative to the site boundary line, so as to satisfy the building coverage ratio requirements. Note that if the side boundary surface that meets the upper boundary surface of the construction range at its lowest point changes while setting back the area boundary line of the site area relative to the site boundary line, the information processing device 1 sets back the area boundary line of the site area corresponding to the changed side boundary surface, relative to the site boundary line.

[0056] Figures 4A to 4C each show an example of a construction area. The left-hand diagrams in Figures 4A to 4C show an intra-site area 5, which is the area of ​​the construction area 6, as viewed vertically from above the site 4. The right-hand diagrams in Figures 4A to 4C show the construction area 6 as viewed diagonally from above.

[0057] FIG. 4A shows a construction area 6 in its initial state. In the example of FIG. 4A, the site 4 has four boundary lines 41 to 44. The site area 5 in its initial state has area boundary lines 51 to 54 at positions that are set back a predetermined distance inward from the boundary lines 41 to 44, respectively. If at least one of the area boundary lines 51 to 54 in the initial state violates the requirements of the regulations (setback) regarding the setback distance from the boundary line of the site in the construction area regulations, the information processing device 1 further sets back the area boundary line (51 to 54) that violates the requirements relative to the boundary lines (41 to 44) of the site 4.

[0058] The building area 6 shown on the right side of Figure 4A has two upper boundary surfaces 65 and 66 and four side boundary surfaces 61 to 64. The horizontal upper boundary surface 65 corresponds to the height restriction limit in the building area regulations, and the upper boundary surface 66, which is inclined relative to the horizontal, corresponds to the slope restriction limit in the building area regulations. The four side boundary surfaces 61 to 64 are located on the area boundary lines 51 to 54 of the site area 5, respectively, and extend vertically.

[0059] 4B shows the building range 6 in a state in which the area boundary line 54 of the intra-site area 5 has been set back relative to the boundary line 44 of the site 4 so as to satisfy the building coverage ratio requirements. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the side boundary line 64 is in contact with the upper boundary line 66 of the building range 6 at the lowest point. Therefore, the information processing device 1 sets back the area boundary line 54 of the intra-site area 5 corresponding to the side boundary line 64 relative to the boundary line 44 of the site 4. The information processing device 1 sets back the area boundary line 54 of the intra-site area 5 until the construction area of ​​the building corresponding to the area of ​​the intra-site area 5 is the largest area that satisfies the building coverage ratio requirements.

[0060] 4C shows the building area 6 in a state where it is set back further from the boundary line 44 than when the building coverage ratio requirement is satisfied. As shown in FIG. 4C, by setting back the area boundary line 54 of the site area 5 corresponding to the lateral boundary line 64 that meets the upper boundary line 66 at the lowest point, the boundary line 66 due to the diagonal line restriction becomes smaller, and the shape of the building area 6 becomes closer to a square pillar.

[0061] ST110: Return to Figure 3. The information processing device 1 generates a first building plan relating to the number of floors of the building and the floor area of ​​each floor of the building based on the construction range determined in step ST105 and the floor height set for each floor of the building. The information processing device 1 generates the first building plan so as to maximize the number of dwelling units (total number of units) in the building.

[0062] When calculating the floor area of ​​one floor, the information processing device 1 determines the shape of the floor on that floor based on the area surrounded by the lateral boundary surfaces of the building area in a horizontal plane passing through a predetermined position between the floor surface of that floor and the floor surface of the floor one level above that floor, and calculates the floor area based on this determined floor shape.

[0063] FIG. 5A shows an example of the construction range determined in step ST105. The construction range 6 shown in FIG. 5A has a height of six or more floors but less than seven. Area 606 is an area surrounded by lateral boundary surfaces 61-64 of the construction range 6 in a horizontal plane passing through the position of the floor surface of the seventh floor. FIG. 5B shows an example of a building 7 determined based on the intra-site area 5 shown in FIG. 5A. The shape of the floor surface 706 of the sixth floor of the building 7 shown in FIG. 5B is determined based on the area 606 shown in FIG. 5A. Similarly, the shapes of floor surfaces 701-705 of the first to fifth floors of the building 7 are determined based on the areas 601-605 shown in FIG. 5A, respectively. The floor area of ​​each floor in the first building plan is calculated based on the shapes of the floor surfaces 701-706, respectively. Furthermore, since the construction area 6 shown in FIG. 5A has a height of six or more floors but less than seven floors, the number of floors of the building 7 in the first building plan based on the construction area 6 is determined to be six.

[0064] Note that the slope restriction has a relaxation condition based on the sky ratio. That is, if the sky ratio measured at a predetermined measurement point facing the building site is equal to or greater than the sky ratio of a building subject to the slope restriction, the slope restriction is not applied to that building. Therefore, when determining the first building plan (number of floors of the building, floor area of ​​each floor) based on the building range determined in step ST105, the information processing device 1 may determine the building's outer shape so as to satisfy the sky ratio condition that is not subject to the slope restriction in the building range regulation, and generate the first building plan based on that outer shape.

[0065] For example, assuming a prismatic building with a base corresponding to the site area of ​​the building range, which satisfies the requirements of the building range regulations regarding height restrictions and has a top floor with a specified floor height (set by the user), the information processing device 1 determines the shape of the prismatic building by cutting off some corners of the prismatic building on a plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane so that the sky view factor conditions of a building not subject to the diagonal line restrictions are met (so that the sky view factor is equivalent to that of a building subject to the diagonal line restrictions).The information processing device 1 then determines a first building plan (the number of floors of the building and the floor area of ​​each floor) based on the determined prismatic building.

[0066] Figures 6A to 6C each show an example of the exterior shape of a building. The left-hand diagrams in Figures 6A to 6C show an area 5 within a site 4 as viewed vertically from above. The right-hand diagrams in Figures 6A to 6C show a building 7 as viewed obliquely from above.

[0067] FIG. 6A shows a prismatic building 7 obtained when the building range 6 (FIG. 4C) determined in step ST105 is considered to have no diagonal line restriction. In the building 7 shown in FIG. 6A, a portion of the upper side extends beyond the boundary surface 66 due to the diagonal line restriction. In the building 7 shown in FIG. 6A, the portion above the sixth floor does not have the required floor height. FIG. 6B shows the state in which the portion above the sixth floor of the building 7 shown in FIG. 6A has been cut off. The building 7 shown in FIG. 6B meets the building range regulation requirements regarding height restrictions and is the tallest prismatic building, with the top floor (sixth floor) having the required floor height. FIG. 6C shows the state in which a portion of the corner of the building 7 shown in FIG. 6B on the area boundary line 54 side has been cut off by a plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Boundary surfaces 71 and 72 perpendicular to the horizontal plane are formed in the cut-off portion. As shown in FIG. 6C, by cutting off a portion of the corner of the prismatic building 7, it is possible to determine the external shape of the building 7 that satisfies the sky exposure ratio conditions for buildings that are not subject to diagonal line restrictions.

[0068] ST115: Returning to Figure 3 again. When the first building plan (number of floors of the building, floor area of ​​each floor) is determined in step ST110, the information processing device 1 generates a second building plan based on this determined first building plan and the minimum area of ​​the exclusive area of ​​the dwelling unit, regarding the area of ​​the exclusive area of ​​each dwelling unit relative to the floor area of ​​each floor of the building and the area of ​​the common area relative to the floor area of ​​each floor of the building.

[0069] The information processing device 1 provides the information on the first building plan and the second building plan obtained in steps ST110 and ST115 to the terminal device 3, and causes the terminal device 3 to display them on its display.

[0070] Next, the processing of step ST115 (FIG. 3) for generating the second building plan will be described in detail. Fig. 7 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the processing for generating the second building plan (ST115: FIG. 3). Step ST205 is an example of the first generation step of the present invention. Step ST210 is an example of a step of determining the number of dwelling units set according to the present invention. Step ST215 is an example of a first floor common area determination step of the present invention. Step ST220 is an example of a second generating step of the present invention. Step ST235 is an example of the plan selection step of the present invention.

[0071] ST205: Based on the first building plan generated in step ST105, the information processing device 1 generates a second building plan (hereinafter referred to as a "provisional second building plan") assuming that all dwelling units are basic dwelling units (dwelling units whose exclusive area is equal to or greater than the minimum area and less than the first area).

[0072] Specifically, the information processing device 1 determines, for each floor of the building, an area set that indicates the maximum standard floor area that does not exceed the floor area specified in the first building plan. In this case, the information processing device 1 determines the area set for each floor so that the area of ​​the basic standard dwelling unit (the minimum area set by the user) is included as the exclusive use area of ​​each dwelling unit. The information processing device 1 reads area information (FIG. 2) including special regulation information that conforms to the special regulation information acquired in step ST100 from the area information DB 23, and uses this area information to generate an area set that includes the exclusive use area of ​​the basic standard dwelling unit. For example, the information processing device 1 generates multiple area sets with different numbers of basic standard dwelling units, and compares the standard floor areas of the generated multiple area sets with the floor area specified in the first building plan, thereby identifying the area set that indicates the maximum standard floor area that does not exceed the floor area specified in the first building plan.

[0073] When the information processing device 1 obtains the area of ​​the common areas of the area set using the first common area information and second common area information of the area information (Fig. 2), since the parameters for area calculation (total number of units, total floor area, etc.) are unknown at this stage, it may obtain the area of ​​the common areas by setting provisional parameters that result in a relatively small area in the calculation formula, etc. Also, the information processing device 1 may provisionally set the area of ​​the first floor common areas in the area of ​​the first floor to zero. By reducing the area of ​​the common areas in the area set for each floor, it becomes easier to consider the total number of units of the building in the provisional second building plan to be the assumed maximum value.

[0074] Once the information processing device 1 determines the area set for one floor, it calculates the difference (hereinafter referred to as the "difference area") between the standard floor area indicated by the area set for that floor and the floor area specified in the first building plan for that floor. The information processing device 1 incorporates this calculated difference area into the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​the dwelling unit on that floor. For example, the information processing device 1 evenly allocates and adds the difference area to the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each basic standard dwelling unit in the area set for that floor. The information processing device 1 determines the exclusive use area of ​​each basic dwelling unit on each floor in the provisional second building plan by allocating and adding the above-mentioned difference area for each floor of the building. The information processing device 1 also determines the common use area of ​​each floor in the provisional second building plan using the common use area in the area set for each floor.

[0075] ST210: The information processing device 1 determines a set of numbers of dwelling units, which is a combination of the number of basic dwelling units and the number of specific dwelling units in the building, based on the provisional second building plan generated in step ST205.

[0076] Hereinafter, the total number of units in the building in the provisional second building plan will be referred to as the "first provisional total number of units," and the total floor area in the provisional second building plan that is subject to the floor-area ratio requirements will be referred to as the "first provisional total floor area." Based on at least one of the first provisional total number of units and the first provisional total floor area calculated using the provisional second building plan generated in step ST205, the information processing device 1 determines a set of dwelling unit numbers (a combination of the number of basic dwelling units and the number of specific dwelling units) so that the number of specific dwelling units in the building is the minimum number that satisfies the requirements of the dwelling unit regulations and so that the total floor area of ​​the building approaches the first provisional total floor area.

[0077] 8 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the process for determining the number of dwelling units (ST210). This example shows the process for determining the number of dwelling units in accordance with the dwelling unit regulations that determine the minimum number of specific dwelling units according to the total number of units in the building.

[0078] Here, the processing will be explained using the following terms. "Specific number of dwelling units": The minimum number of specific standard dwelling units (exclusive area = secondary area) that meet the requirements of the dwelling unit regulations "Basic number of dwelling units": Number of basic standard dwelling units (exclusive area = minimum area) in the building "Specific dwelling area": The area of ​​one or more specified standard dwelling units that are subject to the total floor area regulations for floor area ratios "Basic dwelling area": The area of ​​one or more basic standard dwelling units that are subject to the total floor area regulations for floor area ratios

[0079] The specific dwelling area and basic dwelling area include the area of ​​the exclusive area as well as the area of ​​specified building elements (meter boxes, pipe spaces, etc.) that are included in the total floor area.

[0080] First, the information processing device 1 calculates the number of specific dwelling units a1 that satisfies the requirements of the dwelling unit regulations from the total number of units t0 (first provisional total number of units) of the building shown in the provisional second building plan (ST300). Since the total number of units t0 can be regarded as the maximum assumed total number of units, the specific number of dwelling units a1 can be regarded as the maximum value of the specific number of dwelling units.

[0081] Next, the information processing device 1 calculates the specific dwelling unit area Sa1 corresponding to the specific number of dwelling units a1 (ST305), and calculates the basic dwelling unit area Sb1 by subtracting the specific dwelling unit area Sa1 from the total floor area St0 (first provisional total floor area) shown in the provisional second building plan (ST310).The information processing device 1 calculates the basic number of dwelling units b1 (a value with fractions less than 1 rounded down) by dividing the basic dwelling unit area Sb1 by the basic dwelling unit area for one unit (ST315).

[0082] Since the specific number of dwelling units a1 can be considered the maximum number of specific dwelling units, the total number of units t1 obtained by adding the specific number of dwelling units a1 and the basic number of dwelling units b1 can be considered the minimum total number of units obtained for the total floor area St0 shown in the provisional second building plan.

[0083] The information processing device 1 calculates the specific number of dwelling units a2 that satisfies the requirements of the dwelling unit regulations from the total number of dwelling units t1 (= a1 + b1) (ST320). Since the total number of dwelling units t1 can be regarded as the minimum value of the total floor area St0, the specific number of dwelling units a2 can be regarded as a value close to the minimum value of the specific number of dwelling units.

[0084] The information processing device 1 calculates the specific dwelling unit area Sa2 corresponding to the specific number of dwelling units a2 (ST325), and calculates the basic dwelling unit area Sb2 as the difference between the specific dwelling unit area Sa2 and the total floor area St0 indicated in the provisional second building plan (ST330). The information processing device 1 calculates the basic number of dwelling units b2 (a value with fractions less than 1 rounded down) by dividing the basic dwelling unit area Sb2 by the basic dwelling unit area for one unit (ST335). Because the specific number of dwelling units a2 can be considered a value close to the minimum value for the specific number of dwelling units, the basic number of dwelling units b2 can be considered a value close to the maximum value for the basic number of dwelling units obtained for the total floor area St0 indicated in the provisional second building plan.

[0085] The information processing device 1 calculates the specific number of dwelling units a3 that satisfies the requirements of the dwelling unit regulations from the total number of units t2 (= a2 + b2) (ST340). The total number of units t2 can be considered to be a value close to the ideal total number of units when the number of specific dwelling units is minimum and the number of basic dwelling units is maximum for the total floor area St0, so the specific number of dwelling units a3 is the specific number of dwelling units obtained for this ideal total number of units.

[0086] The information processing device 1 calculates the difference between the ideal total number of units t2 and the specific number of units a3 as the basic number of units b3 (ST345). The information processing device 1 acquires a set of the number of units as a combination of the specific number of units a3 and the basic number of units b3.

[0087] 9 is a flowchart for explaining another example of the process for determining the number of dwelling units (ST210). This example shows the process for determining the number of dwelling units in accordance with dwelling unit regulations that determine the minimum number of specific dwelling units according to the total floor area.

[0088] In this example, the information processing device 1 calculates the largest specific dwelling unit area Sa0 that satisfies the requirements of the dwelling unit regulations from the total floor area St0 (first provisional total floor area) of the building indicated by the provisional second building plan (ST400). The information processing device 1 calculates the specific number of dwelling units a1 (a value with any fraction less than 1 rounded down) by dividing this specific dwelling unit area Sa0 by the specific dwelling unit area for one unit. The information processing device 1 also calculates the basic dwelling unit area Sb0 by subtracting the specific dwelling unit area Sa0 from the total floor area St0, and then calculates the basic number of dwelling units b1 (a value with any fraction less than 1 rounded down) by dividing this basic dwelling unit area Sb0 by the basic dwelling unit area for one unit (ST405). The combination (a1, b1) of the specific number of dwelling units a1 and the basic number of dwelling units b1 constitutes one dwelling unit number set.

[0089] The information processing device 1 calculates the specific dwelling unit area Sa1 by multiplying the specific dwelling unit area for one unit by the specific dwelling unit number a1 (ST410). The information processing device 1 calculates the ratio (Sa1 / St0) of the specific dwelling unit area Sa1 to the total floor area St0 indicated in the provisional second building plan as the area ratio Ra1 of the specific dwelling unit for the dwelling unit number set (a1, b1) (ST415).

[0090] Next, the information processing device 1 determines a dwelling unit number set for the specific dwelling unit number a2 (= a1 + 1), which is the specific dwelling unit number a1 plus one more specific-standard dwelling unit. The information processing device 1 calculates the specific dwelling unit area Sa2 by multiplying the specific dwelling unit area per unit by the specific dwelling unit number a2 (= a1 + 1), and calculates the basic dwelling unit area Sb2 by subtracting the specific dwelling unit area Sa2 from the total floor area St0. The information processing device 1 calculates the basic dwelling unit number b2 (a value with any fraction less than 1 rounded down) by dividing this basic dwelling unit area Sb2 by the basic dwelling unit area per unit (ST420). The combination (a2, b2) of the specific dwelling unit number a2 and the basic dwelling unit number b2 constitutes one dwelling unit number set.

[0091] The information processing device 1 calculates the ratio (Sa2 / St0) of the specific dwelling unit area Sa2 to the total floor area St0 indicated in the provisional second building plan as the area ratio Ra2 of the specific dwelling unit for the set of number of dwelling units (a2, b2) (ST425).

[0092] Furthermore, the information processing device 1 determines a dwelling unit number set for a specific dwelling unit number a3 (= a1-1), which is the specific dwelling unit number a1 minus one specific standard dwelling unit. The information processing device 1 calculates the specific dwelling unit area Sa3 by multiplying the specific dwelling unit area per unit by the specific dwelling unit number a3 (= a1-1), and calculates the basic dwelling unit area Sb3 by subtracting the specific dwelling unit area Sa3 from the total floor area St0. The information processing device 1 calculates the basic dwelling unit number b3 (a value with any fraction less than 1 rounded down) by dividing this basic dwelling unit area Sb3 by the basic dwelling unit area per unit (ST430). The combination (a3, b3) of the specific dwelling unit number a3 and the basic dwelling unit number b3 constitutes one dwelling unit number set.

[0093] The information processing device 1 calculates the ratio (Sa3 / St0) of the specific dwelling unit area Sa3 to the total floor area St0 indicated in the provisional second building plan as the area ratio Ra3 of the specific dwelling unit for the set of number of dwelling units (a3, b3) (ST435).

[0094] The information processing device 1 identifies the set of numbers of dwelling units that has the smallest area ratio that satisfies the requirements of the dwelling unit regulations from the three sets of numbers of dwelling units (a1, b1), (a2, b2), and (a3, b3) obtained as described above (ST440). The set of numbers of dwelling units identified here satisfies the requirements of the dwelling unit regulations, while having the smallest number of specific standard dwelling units and the largest number of basic standard dwelling units.

[0095] ST215: Back to Figure 7 The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the common areas (caretaker's room, bicycle parking area, etc.) on the first floor that meets the requirements of the common area regulations based on the set of number of dwelling units determined in step ST220. For example, the information processing device 1 determines the minimum area of ​​the common areas on the first floor that meets the requirements of the common area regulations based on the total number of units in the building indicated by the set of number of dwelling units (number of basic dwelling units + number of specific dwelling units).

[0096] ST220: The information processing device 1 generates a second building plan that includes the area of ​​the first floor common area so that the number of specific dwelling units in the building is the number of specific dwelling units specified in the set of dwelling unit numbers, based on the first building plan generated in step ST110 (FIG. 3) and the area of ​​the first floor common area determined in step ST215. In this step ST220, the information processing device 1 generates a plurality of second building plans that differ in the pattern of allocating the specific dwelling units to each floor of the building.

[0097] ST240: The information processing device 1 selects the second building plan that will result in the largest total number of units in the building from among the plurality of second building plans generated in step ST220.

[0098] If there are two or more second building plans that result in the largest total number of units in the building, the information processing device 1 may select the second building plan with the largest total floor area from the two or more second building plans. This allows the generation of a building plan that results in the largest area for each dwelling unit when the total number of units is the same.

[0099] Furthermore, if there are multiple second building plans with the largest total floor area among two or more second building plans that result in the largest total number of units in the building, the information processing device 1 may select the second building plan with the smallest number of floors from the multiple second building plans. This makes it possible to generate a building plan that reduces the number of floors in the building and lowers construction costs.

[0100] Thus, according to this embodiment, a provisional second building plan is generated based on the first building plan, assuming that all dwelling units are basic dwelling units. Based on at least one of the first provisional total number of units and the first provisional total floor area calculated using this provisional second building plan, a set of dwelling units (a combination of the number of specific dwelling units and the number of basic dwelling units) is determined so that the number of specific dwelling units in the building is the minimum number that satisfies the requirements of the dwelling unit regulations and the total floor area approaches the first provisional total floor area. Once the set of dwelling units is determined, the area of ​​the first-floor common areas that satisfies the requirements of the common area regulations is determined based on the set of dwelling units. Furthermore, based on this set of dwelling units and the area of ​​the first-floor common areas, a second building plan is generated that includes the area of ​​the first-floor common areas so that the number of specific dwelling units in the building is the number of specific dwelling units specified in the set of dwelling units. In other words, after obtaining an estimate of the number of specific dwelling units in the building and an estimate of the area of ​​the first-floor common areas, a second building plan corresponding to the first building plan can be generated based on these estimates. This makes it possible to generate a second building plan with a large total number of units while avoiding a situation where the loop processing cannot be completed due to alternating between application of special regulations and changes to the building plan. Therefore, it is possible to generate a building plan in which the number and area of ​​each dwelling unit from the first floor to the top floor are determined so that the number of dwelling units is as large as possible while satisfying the requirements of building regulations.

[0101] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the second building plan that results in the largest total number of units in the building is selected from among multiple second building plans that have different patterns for allocating specific units to each floor of the building, making it possible to generate a building plan with a larger number of units and higher profitability.

[0102] Next, the processing of step ST220 (FIG. 7) for generating a plurality of second building plans based on the set of dwelling unit numbers and the area of ​​the common area on the first floor will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Step ST505 is an example of the specific dwelling unit allocation step of the present invention. Step ST510 is an example of a first area set determination step of the present invention. Step ST530 is an example of a first common portion area determining step of the present invention. Step ST535 is an example of a first exclusive portion area determining step of the present invention.

[0103] ST500: The information processing device 1 selects one allocation pattern from a plurality of predetermined allocation patterns for allocating specific dwelling units to each floor of a building. This allocation pattern is preferably a pattern that allocates specific dwelling units approximately evenly so that the variation in the number of specific dwelling units on each floor of the building is no more than 1. This makes it easier to give each floor of a building a similar structure, thereby reducing construction costs.

[0104] Furthermore, when the variation in the number of specific dwelling units described above is 1, one allocation pattern may be a pattern in which the number of specific dwelling units is greater on the first floor than on the top floor (hereinafter referred to as the "first pattern"), and another allocation pattern may be a pattern in which the number of specific dwelling units is greater on the top floor than on the first floor (hereinafter referred to as the "second pattern"). Because the first and top floors of a building often have less space available for arranging dwelling units than the intermediate floors, varying the number of specific dwelling units on the first and top floors makes it easier to obtain second building plans with different total numbers of units, and to generate second building plans with a larger total number of units. Note that in the first pattern, more specific dwelling units may be arranged on the lower floors of the building, while in the second pattern, more specific dwelling units may be arranged on the upper floors of the building. This simplifies the allocation patterns.

[0105] When the variation in the number of specific dwelling units is 1, the multiple allocation patterns may include, in addition to the first and second patterns described above, a third pattern that increases the number of specific dwelling units on the first and top floors, and a fourth pattern that decreases the number of specific dwelling units on the first and top floors. This increases the variation in the second building plans that are acquired, making it even easier to generate second building plans with a large total number of units.

[0106] ST505: The information processing device 1 determines the number of specific dwelling units on each floor of the building based on the number of specific dwelling units in the building defined by the dwelling unit number set determined in step ST210 (Figure 7) and the allocation pattern of specific dwelling units selected in step ST500 (or step ST555 described later).

[0107] ST510: The information processing device 1 determines, for each floor of the building, an area set indicating the maximum standard floor area that does not exceed the floor area determined by the first building plan generated in step ST110 (FIG. 3). When determining an area set for one floor, the information processing device 1 determines an area set that includes the areas of the exclusive use parts of the specific standard dwelling units corresponding to the number of specific dwelling units determined for that one floor in step ST505.

[0108] The information processing device 1 reads area information (FIG. 2) including special regulation information that conforms to the special regulation information acquired in step ST100 from the area information DB23, and generates an area set using this area information. When determining an area set for one floor, the information processing device 1 generates an area set that includes the areas of the exclusive use areas of the specific standard dwelling units corresponding to the number of specific dwelling units determined in step ST505 for that one floor, and the areas of the exclusive use areas of the basic standard dwelling units. For example, the information processing device 1 generates multiple area sets that include the areas of the exclusive use areas corresponding to the number of specific dwelling units determined in step ST505, but with different numbers of basic standard dwelling units, and compares the standard floor areas of the multiple generated area sets with the floor area of ​​that one floor determined in the first building plan, thereby identifying the area set that shows the largest standard floor area that does not exceed the floor area determined in the first building plan.

[0109] When the information processing device 1 acquires the areas of the common areas of the area set using the first common area information and the second common area information of the area information (FIG. 2), it may calculate the areas of the common areas using the first provisional total number of units and the first provisional total floor area indicated in the provisional second building plan generated in step ST205 (FIG. 7). That is, the information processing device 1 may calculate the areas of the first common area and the second common area by using the first provisional total number of units and the first provisional total floor area indicated in the provisional second building plan as parameters of the formula for calculating the areas included in the first common area information and the second common area information (FIG. 2).

[0110] Furthermore, for the first floor of the building, the information processing device 1 determines an area set so as to include the area of ​​the first-floor common area determined in step ST215 (FIG. 7). That is, for the first floor of the building, the information processing device 1 determines an area set in which the number of basic-standard dwelling units has been adjusted to indicate the maximum standard floor area that includes the area of ​​the exclusive areas of the specific-standard dwelling units corresponding to the number of specific dwelling units on the first floor determined in step ST505, includes the area of ​​the first-floor common area determined in step ST215 (FIG. 7), and does not exceed the floor area of ​​the first floor specified in the first building plan.

[0111] ST515: The information processing device 1 calculates the differential area for each floor of the building. That is, the information processing device 1 calculates the difference between the standard floor area indicated by the area set determined for one floor in step ST510 and the floor area of ​​the one floor determined by the first building plan generated in step ST110 (FIG. 3), as the differential area of ​​the one floor.

[0112] ST520: The information processing device 1 calculates the total floor area of ​​the building when the differential area of ​​each floor calculated in step ST515 is considered to be the area of ​​the exclusive portion of the dwelling unit (hereinafter referred to as the "second provisional total floor area"). That is, the information processing device 1 calculates the sum of the total floor area of ​​the building obtained from the area set of each floor determined in step ST510 and the differential area of ​​each floor calculated in step ST515 as the second provisional total floor area.

[0113] ST525: The information processing device 1 calculates the total number of units in the building (hereinafter referred to as the "second provisional total number of units") based on the number of dwelling units on each floor indicated by the area set determined for each floor of the building.

[0114] ST530: The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the common areas of each floor that meets the requirements of the common area regulations, based on at least one of the second provisional total floor area calculated in step ST520 and the second provisional total number of units calculated in step ST525. For example, the information processing device 1 recalculates the areas of the first common area and the second common area by using the second provisional total floor area and the second provisional total number of units as parameters of the calculation formula for the area included in the first common area information and the second common area information of the area information (FIG. 2). In particular, for the first floor of the building, the information processing device 1 recalculates the area of ​​the first floor common area by using the second provisional total number of units as parameters of the calculation formula for the first floor common area included in the second common area information of the area information.

[0115] ST535: The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each dwelling unit in the building based on the area of ​​the common area of ​​each floor determined in step ST530, the floor area of ​​each floor defined by the first building plan generated in step ST110, and the area set for each floor determined in step ST510. That is, the information processing device 1 updates the area set for a floor determined in step ST510 to include the area of ​​the common use area of ​​that floor determined in step ST530, and calculates the difference between the standard floor area of ​​that floor indicated by the updated area set and the floor area of ​​that floor defined by the first building plan as the differential area for that floor. The information processing device 1 incorporates the differential area calculated for that floor into the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​the dwelling unit on that floor. For example, the information processing device 1 evenly allocates and adds the differential area to the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each standard dwelling unit in the area set for that floor. The information processing device 1 determines the exclusive area of ​​each basic dwelling unit on each floor in the second building plan by allocating and adding the differential area described above for each floor of the building.

[0116] The information processing device 1 acquires a second building plan of interest based on the area of ​​the common area of ​​each floor determined in step ST530 and the area of ​​the exclusive area of ​​each dwelling unit determined in step ST535.

[0117] ST550, ST555: When the information processing device 1 acquires the second building plan for one allocation pattern, if there are other allocation patterns that have not been selected (Yes in ST550), it selects that allocation pattern (ST555) and acquires the second building plan by the processing of steps ST505 to ST535 described above. When second building plans have been acquired for all allocation patterns (No in ST550), the information processing device 1 ends the processing for generating the second building plan.

[0118] In this way, according to the above-described process for generating a second building plan, an area set for each floor (for the first floor, an area set including the area of ​​the first floor common area) is determined based on the set of number of dwelling units obtained from the provisional second building plan and the area of ​​the first floor common area. Once the area set for each floor is determined, the area of ​​the common area for each floor is redetermined based on at least one of the second provisional total number of units and the second provisional total floor area calculated from these area sets. The exclusive area of ​​each dwelling unit is then determined based on the redetermined area of ​​the common area. As a result, even if the requirements of the common area regulations change, mainly due to changes in the total floor area and total number of units, it is possible to generate a second building plan that satisfies these requirements while increasing the total number of units.

[0119] <Second embodiment> Next, a description will be given of a building plan generation process according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The system according to this embodiment is the same as that shown in Fig. 1. In this embodiment, a process for generating a second building plan so as to avoid the application of dwelling unit regulations is added to the building plan generation process according to the first embodiment described above.

[0120] Fig. 11 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the second building plan generation process (ST115: Fig. 3) in the second embodiment. The flowchart shown in Fig. 11 is obtained by adding step ST225 to the flowchart shown in Fig. 7, and the other steps are the same as those in the flowchart shown in Fig. 7.

[0121] Here, the processing will be explained using the following terms. "Specific Dwelling Unit Requirements": Conditions under dwelling unit regulations that require a building to contain one or more specified dwelling units "Exclusion Area": The minimum area of ​​the exclusive area that does not meet the conditions regarding the area of ​​the exclusive area of ​​the basic dwelling unit in the specific dwelling unit requirements "Total number of units not meeting the conditions": The maximum total number of units that does not meet the requirements for the total number of units in a building under the specific dwelling unit requirements "Unconditional Floor Number": The maximum number of floors that does not meet the building floor requirements for specific dwelling units "Conditions for avoiding specific housing units": Conditions that can avoid the need to include specific dwelling units in a building due to dwelling unit regulations "Non-standard dwelling units": Standard dwelling units where the area of ​​the exclusive area does not fall within the conditions “Non-standard floor area”: Standard floor area of ​​one floor where all dwelling units are non-standard dwelling units "Basic standard floor area": Standard floor area of ​​one floor where all dwelling units are standard dwelling units

[0122] In step ST225, the information processing device 1 generates one or more second building plans so as to satisfy one or more specific dwelling unit avoidance conditions within the range of the number of stories and floor area defined by the first building plan.

[0123] The specific dwelling unit avoidance condition satisfied by the second building plan may be, for example, any one of the following first to third conditions or a combination of two or more of them. Condition 1: The area of ​​the exclusive areas of all dwelling units must be equal to or greater than the exclusive area not specified. Second condition: The total number of dwelling units in the building must be the total number of dwelling units that do not meet the conditions. Third condition: The number of floors in the building is outside the conditions.

[0124] When the second building plans are generated in steps ST220 and ST225, the information processing device 1 selects the second building plan that will result in the largest total number of units in the building from among the plurality of generated second building plans (ST240).

[0125] An example of the processing for generating the second building plan in step ST225 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

[0126] FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the process of generating a second building plan that satisfies the specific dwelling unit avoidance condition, and shows an example in which the specific dwelling unit avoidance condition is the first condition (exclusive floor area outside the conditions). Step ST600 is an example of a second area set determination step of the present invention. Step ST620 is an example of a second common portion area determining step of the present invention. Step ST625 is an example of a second exclusive portion area determining step of the present invention.

[0127] ST600: The information processing device 1 determines, for each floor of the building, an area set indicating the maximum non-conditional standard floor area that does not exceed the floor area specified by the first building plan generated in step ST110 (FIG. 3). The non-conditional standard floor area is the standard floor area of ​​a floor where all dwelling units are non-conditional standard dwelling units (area of ​​exclusive use area = non-conditional exclusive use area). If dwelling units with an area less than the first area are defined as basic dwelling units in the dwelling unit regulations, the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​the non-conditional standard dwelling units is equal to the first area. In this case, the area set indicating the non-conditional standard floor area includes the first area as the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each standard dwelling unit.

[0128] The information processing device 1 reads out area information (FIG. 2) including special regulation information that conforms to the special regulation information acquired in step ST100 from the area information DB23, and uses this area information to generate an area set in which the area of ​​the exclusive portion of each standard dwelling unit is the first area. For example, the information processing device 1 generates multiple area sets with different numbers of non-conditional standard dwelling units, and compares the non-conditional standard floor areas of the multiple generated area sets with the floor area determined in the first building plan, thereby identifying the area set that shows the largest non-conditional standard floor area that does not exceed the floor area determined in the first building plan.

[0129] When the information processing device 1 acquires the areas of the common areas of the area set using the first common area information and the second common area information of the area information (FIG. 2), the information processing device 1 may calculate the areas of the common areas using the first provisional total number of units and the first provisional total floor area indicated in the provisional second building plan (ST205). That is, the information processing device 1 may calculate the areas of the first common area and the second common area by using the first provisional total number of units and the first provisional total floor area indicated in the provisional second building plan as parameters of the calculation formula for the areas included in the first common area information and the second common area information.

[0130] Furthermore, for the first floor of the building, the information processing device 1 determines an area set so as to include the area of ​​the first floor common area determined in step ST215 (FIG. 7). That is, for the first floor of the building, the information processing device 1 determines an area set in which the number of non-conditional standard dwelling units is adjusted so as to indicate the maximum non-conditional standard floor area that includes the area of ​​the first floor common area determined in step ST215 (FIG. 7) and does not exceed the floor area of ​​the first floor determined in the first building plan.

[0131] ST605: The information processing device 1 calculates, for each floor of the building, the difference between the floor area of ​​the first building plan and the non-conditional standard floor area of ​​the area set as the differential area.

[0132] ST610: The information processing device 1 calculates the total floor area of ​​the building when the differential area of ​​each floor calculated in step ST605 is considered to be the area of ​​the exclusive portion of the dwelling unit, as the second provisional total floor area. That is, the information processing device 1 calculates the sum of the total floor area of ​​the building obtained from the area set of each floor determined in step ST600 and the differential area of ​​each floor calculated in step ST605, as the second provisional total floor area.

[0133] ST615: The information processing device 1 calculates the second provisional total number of units of the building based on the number of dwelling units on each floor indicated by the area set determined for each floor of the building.

[0134] ST620: The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the common areas of each floor that meets the requirements of the common area regulations, based on at least one of the second provisional total floor area calculated in step ST610 and the second provisional total number of units calculated in step ST615. For example, the information processing device 1 recalculates the areas of the first common area and the second common area by using the second provisional total floor area and the second provisional total number of units as parameters of the calculation formula for the area included in the first common area information and the second common area information of the area information (FIG. 2). In particular, for the first floor of the building, the information processing device 1 recalculates the area of ​​the first floor common area by using the second provisional total number of units as parameters of the calculation formula for the first floor common area included in the second common area information of the area information.

[0135] ST625: The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each dwelling unit in the building based on the area of ​​the common area of ​​each floor determined in step ST620, the floor area of ​​each floor defined by the first building plan generated in step ST110, and the area set for each floor determined in step ST600. That is, the information processing device 1 updates the area set for a floor determined in step ST600 to include the area of ​​the common use area of ​​that floor determined in step ST620, and calculates the difference between the standard floor area of ​​that floor indicated by the updated area set and the floor area of ​​that floor defined by the first building plan as the differential area for that floor. The information processing device 1 incorporates the differential area calculated for that floor into the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​the dwelling units on that floor. For example, the information processing device 1 evenly allocates and adds the differential area to the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each non-standard dwelling unit in the area set for that floor. The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the exclusive portion of each dwelling unit on each floor in the second building plan by allocating and adding the differential area described above for each floor of the building.

[0136] The information processing device 1 acquires a second building plan of interest based on the area of ​​the common area of ​​each floor determined in step ST620 and the area of ​​the exclusive area of ​​each dwelling unit determined in step ST625.

[0137] FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the process of generating a second building plan that satisfies the specific dwelling unit avoidance condition, and shows an example in which the specific dwelling unit avoidance condition is the second condition (total number of units not meeting the condition). Steps ST700 to ST725 are an example of a second area set determination step of the present invention. Step ST745 is an example of the second common portion area determining step of the present invention. Step ST750 is an example of a second exclusive portion area determining step of the present invention.

[0138] ST700~ST725: The information processing device 1 determines area sets indicating the maximum basic standard floor area (standard floor area for all dwelling units being basic standard dwelling units) that do not exceed the floor area determined by the first building plan generated in step ST110 (FIG. 3) in order from the first floor of the building toward the upper floors until the total number of units in the building reaches the total number of units that do not meet the conditions. When the total number of units in the building on one floor of the building reaches the total number of units that do not meet the conditions, the information processing device 1 determines an area set for that one floor so that the total number of units in the building becomes equal to the total number of units that do not meet the conditions, and does not determine area sets for floors above that one floor.

[0139] The information processing device 1 first selects the first floor (n=1) of the building (ST700), and for this selected floor, determines an area set indicating the maximum basic standard floor area that does not exceed the floor area specified by the first building plan (ST705). The basic standard floor is the standard floor area of ​​a single floor where all dwelling units are basic standard dwelling units (area of ​​exclusive use area = minimum area set by the user), and the area set indicating the basic standard floor includes the minimum area as the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each standard dwelling unit.

[0140] The information processing device 1 reads out area information (FIG. 2) including special regulation information that conforms to the special regulation information acquired in step ST100 from the area information DB23, and uses this area information to generate an area set in which the area of ​​the exclusive portion of each standard dwelling unit is the smallest. For example, the information processing device 1 generates multiple area sets with different numbers of basic standard dwelling units, and compares the basic standard floor areas of the multiple area sets generated with the floor area determined in the first building plan, thereby identifying the area set that shows the largest basic standard floor area that does not exceed the floor area determined in the first building plan.

[0141] In addition, when the information processing device 1 obtains the area of ​​the common areas of the area set using the first common area information and the second common area information of the area information (Figure 2), it may calculate the area of ​​the common areas using the first provisional total number of units and the first provisional total floor area indicated in the provisional second building plan (ST205), as in step ST600.

[0142] Furthermore, for the first floor of the building, the information processing device 1 determines an area set so as to include the area of ​​the first floor common area determined in step ST215 (FIG. 7). That is, for the first floor of the building, the information processing device 1 determines an area set in which the number of basic standard dwelling units has been adjusted so as to indicate the maximum basic standard floor area that includes the area of ​​the first floor common area determined in step ST215 (FIG. 7) and does not exceed the floor area of ​​the first floor defined in the first building plan.

[0143] When the area set is determined in step ST705, the information processing device 1 calculates the total number of units for all floors for which area sets have been determined so far and compares this with the total number of units that do not meet the conditions (ST710, ST715). If the calculated total number of units matches the total number of units that do not meet the conditions (Yes in ST710), the information processing device 1 proceeds to step ST730. The information processing device 1 also proceeds to step ST730 if the current floor is the top floor defined in the first building plan.

[0144] On the other hand, if the total number of units on all floors for which area sets have been determined so far does not reach the total number of units outside the conditions (No in ST710 and No in ST715), the information processing device 1 selects the floor one floor above the current floor (ST720) and performs the processing of step ST705 described above (determining the area set) for this selected floor.

[0145] If the total number of units on all floors for which area sets have been determined so far is greater than the total number of units not meeting the conditions (Yes in ST715), the information processing device 1 determines an area set so that the total number of units in the building is equal to the total number of units not meeting the conditions (ST725). That is, the information processing device 1 reduces the area of ​​the exclusive use areas of the basic standard dwelling units in the area set determined in step ST705 (reducing the number of basic standard dwelling units) so that the total number of units on all floors for which area sets have been determined so far matches the total number of units not meeting the conditions. As a result, the sum of the numbers of basic standard dwelling units indicated by each area set determined for each floor becomes equal to the total number of units not meeting the conditions.

[0146] ST730: The information processing device 1 calculates, for each floor of the building for which the area set has been determined in steps ST700 to ST725, the difference between the floor area of ​​the first building plan and the basic standard floor area of ​​the area set as the differential area.

[0147] ST735: The information processing device 1 calculates the total floor area of ​​the building when the differential area of ​​each floor calculated in step ST730 is considered to be the area of ​​the exclusive use portion of the dwelling unit as the second provisional total floor area. That is, the information processing device 1 calculates the second provisional total floor area as the sum of the total floor area of ​​the building obtained from the area set of each floor determined in steps ST700 to ST725 and the differential area of ​​each floor calculated in step ST730. The areas of the exclusive use portions of the dwelling units on floors higher than the floors for which the area set was determined in steps ST700 to ST725 are considered to be zero in this second provisional total floor area.

[0148] ST740: The information processing device 1 calculates a second temporary total number of units in the building based on the number of dwelling units on each floor indicated by the area set determined in steps ST700 to ST725. The number of dwelling units on floors above the floors for which the area set was determined in steps ST700 to ST725 is considered to be zero in this second temporary total number of units.

[0149] ST745: The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the common areas on each floor that meets the requirements of the common area regulations, similar to step ST620, based on at least one of the second provisional total floor area calculated in step ST735 and the second provisional total number of units calculated in step ST740.

[0150] ST750: The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each dwelling unit in the building based on the area of ​​the common area of ​​each floor determined in step ST745, the floor area of ​​each floor defined by the first building plan generated in step ST110, and the area set for each floor determined in steps ST700 to ST725. That is, the information processing device 1 updates the area set for a floor determined in steps ST700 to ST725 to include the area of ​​the common use area of ​​that floor determined in step ST745, and calculates the difference between the basic specification floor area of ​​that floor indicated by the updated area set and the floor area of ​​that floor defined by the first building plan as the differential area for that floor. The information processing device 1 incorporates the differential area calculated for that floor into the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​the dwelling unit on that floor. For example, the information processing device 1 evenly allocates and adds the differential area to the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each basic specification dwelling unit in the area set for that floor. The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the exclusive portion of each dwelling unit on each floor in the second building plan by allocating and adding the differential area described above for each floor of the building.

[0151] The information processing device 1 acquires the second building plan of interest based on the area of ​​the common area of ​​each floor determined in step ST745 and the area of ​​the exclusive area of ​​each dwelling unit determined in step ST750.

[0152] FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the process of generating a second building plan that satisfies the specific dwelling unit avoidance condition, and shows an example in which the specific dwelling unit avoidance condition is the third condition (number of floors outside the conditions). Steps ST800 to ST815 are an example of a second area set determination step of the present invention. Step ST835 is an example of the second common portion area determining step of the present invention. Step ST840 is an example of a second exclusive portion area determining step of the present invention.

[0153] ST800~ST815: The information processing device 1 determines an area set indicating the maximum basic standard floor area (standard floor area of ​​all dwelling units is basic standard dwelling unit) that does not exceed the floor area determined by the first building plan generated in step ST110 (FIG. 3) for each floor up to the top floor of the number of floors that does not meet the conditions. The information processing device 1 does not determine an area set for floors above the top floor of the number of floors that does not meet the conditions.

[0154] The information processing device 1 first selects the first floor (n=1) of the building (ST800), and for this selected floor, similar to step ST705, determines an area set indicating the maximum basic standard floor area that does not exceed the floor area specified by the first building plan (ST805).

[0155] When the area set is determined in step ST805, the information processing device 1 determines whether the selected floor is the highest floor of the number of floors that does not meet the condition (ST810). If the selected floor does not reach the highest floor of the number of floors that does not meet the condition (No in ST810), the information processing device 1 selects the floor one floor above the current floor (ST815) and performs the processing of step ST805 described above (determining the area set) for this selected floor. If the selected floor matches the highest floor of the number of floors that does not meet the condition (Yes in ST810), the information processing device 1 proceeds to the next step ST820. Furthermore, if the selected floor is the highest floor of the building, the information processing device 1 also proceeds to the next step ST820.

[0156] ST820: The information processing device 1 calculates, for each floor of the building for which the area set has been determined in steps ST800 to ST815, the difference between the floor area of ​​the first building plan and the basic standard floor area of ​​the area set as the differential area.

[0157] ST825: The information processing device 1 calculates the total floor area of ​​the building when the differential area of ​​each floor calculated in step ST820 is considered to be the area of ​​the exclusive use portion of the dwelling unit as the second provisional total floor area. That is, the information processing device 1 calculates the second provisional total floor area as the sum of the total floor area of ​​the building obtained from the area set of each floor determined in steps ST800 to ST815 and the differential area of ​​each floor calculated in step ST820. The areas of the exclusive use portions of the dwelling units on floors above the floors for which the area set was determined in steps ST800 to ST815 (floors above the highest floor of the non-conditional floor count) are considered to be zero in this second provisional total floor area.

[0158] ST830: The information processing device 1 calculates the second temporary total number of units of the building based on the number of dwelling units on each floor indicated by the area set determined in steps ST800 to ST815. The number of dwelling units on floors above the floors for which the area set was determined in steps ST800 to ST815 (floors above the top floor of the non-conditional floor number) is considered to be zero in this second temporary total number of units.

[0159] ST835: The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the common areas on each floor that meets the requirements of the common area regulations, similar to step ST620 (ST745), based on at least one of the second provisional total floor area calculated in step ST825 and the second provisional total number of units calculated in step ST830.

[0160] ST840: The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each dwelling unit in the building based on the area of ​​the common area of ​​each floor determined in step ST835, the floor area of ​​each floor defined by the first building plan generated in step ST110, and the area set for each floor determined in steps ST800 to ST815. That is, the information processing device 1 updates the area set for a floor determined in steps ST800 to ST815 to include the area of ​​the common use area of ​​that floor determined in step ST835, and calculates the difference between the basic specification floor area of ​​that floor indicated by the updated area set and the floor area of ​​that floor defined by the first building plan as the differential area for that floor. The information processing device 1 incorporates the differential area calculated for that floor into the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​the dwelling unit on that floor. For example, the information processing device 1 evenly allocates and adds the differential area to the area of ​​the exclusive use area of ​​each basic specification dwelling unit in the area set for that floor. The information processing device 1 determines the area of ​​the exclusive portion of each dwelling unit on each floor in the second building plan by allocating and adding the differential area described above for each floor of the building.

[0161] The information processing device 1 acquires the second building plan of interest based on the area of ​​the common area of ​​each floor determined in step ST835 and the area of ​​the exclusive area of ​​each dwelling unit determined in step ST840.

[0162] As described above, according to this embodiment, by generating a second building plan that avoids the application of dwelling unit regulations, the variety of second building plans becomes even greater, making it even easier to generate second building plans with a large total number of units.

[0163] <Third embodiment> Next, a description will be given of a building plan generation process according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The system according to this embodiment is the same as that shown in Fig. 1. In this embodiment, a building plan with a large total number of units is selected from multiple patterns of building plans with fixed building areas determined based on the number of dwelling units with a predetermined area.

[0164] Fig. 15 is a flowchart for explaining an example of building plan generation processing according to the third embodiment. In the flowchart shown in Fig. 15, steps ST105, ST110, and ST115 in the flowchart shown in Fig. 3 are replaced with steps ST105A, ST110A, and ST115A, respectively, and the other steps are the same as those in the flowchart shown in Fig. 3. The following description will focus on the processing that has been changed from the flowchart shown in Fig. 3.

[0165] ST105A: The information processing device 1 determines one or more building areas based on the information acquired in step ST100. That is, the information processing device 1 determines one or more building areas that satisfy the building area regulation requirements and the building coverage ratio requirements and each have a predetermined maximum floor area. The maximum floor area of ​​each building area is determined based on the number of dwelling units (dwelling units with exclusive areas of a predetermined area equal to or greater than the minimum area) provided on one floor. The one or more building areas determined by the information processing device 1 each have a different maximum floor area (that is, the number of dwelling units on the floor with the largest floor area is different).

[0166] The information processing device 1 can determine the construction range so that the area of ​​the site area corresponding to the maximum floor area becomes the specified floor area by receding the area boundary line of the site area, for example, as shown in Figure 4C.

[0167] ST110A: After determining one or more building ranges in step ST105A, the information processing device 1 determines, for each of the one or more building ranges, one first building plan (number of floors in the building, floor area of ​​each floor) that will maximize the number of dwelling units in the building. The method for determining the first building plan based on the building range is the same as that of step ST110 (FIG. 3) already described.

[0168] ST115A: When the information processing device 1 generates one or more first building plans in step ST110A, it generates a second building plan for each of the one or more first building plans.

[0169] Fig. 16 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the second building plan generation process (ST115A) according to the third embodiment. The flowchart shown in Fig. 16 is obtained by adding steps ST200, ST230, and ST235 to the flowchart shown in Fig. 11, and the other steps are the same as those in the flowchart shown in Fig. 11.

[0170] The information processing device 1 selects one first building plan generated in step ST110A (ST200), and performs the processing of steps ST205 to ST225 already described based on this selected first building plan. Thereafter, the information processing device 1 selects an unselected first building plan, if any, and repeats the processing of steps ST205 to ST225 (ST230, ST235). After performing the processing of steps ST205 to ST225 for all first building plans generated in step ST110A, the information processing device 1 selects, from the plurality of second building plans obtained by these processes, the second building plan that will result in the largest number of total units in the building (ST240).

[0171] As described above, according to this embodiment, by generating multiple second building plans for multiple construction areas, the variety of second building plans becomes even greater, making it even easier to generate second building plans with a large total number of units.

[0172] Next, a modified example of the process for generating the second building plan in the above-described embodiment will be described.

[0173] Fig. 17 is a flowchart for explaining a modified example of the process (ST220: Fig. 7) for generating multiple second building plans with different allocation patterns for specific dwelling units. The flowchart shown in Fig. 17 is the same as the flowchart shown in Fig. 10 except that steps ST540 and ST545 have been added.

[0174] When the information processing device 1 has generated one second building plan through the processing of steps ST505 to ST535, it determines whether this second building plan satisfies the requirements of building regulations (ST540). If the information processing device 1 determines that the generated second building plan does not satisfy the requirements of building regulations (No in ST540), it modifies the first building plan generated in step ST110 so that the floor area of ​​the top floor in the first building plan reduced by the exclusive area of ​​one basic standard dwelling unit (= the minimum area set by the user) (ST545), and performs the processing of steps ST505 to ST535 again based on this modified first building plan. As a result, the total number of dwelling units and total floor area of ​​the building are reduced in the second building plan generated through the processing of steps ST505 to ST535, making it easier for the second building plan to satisfy the requirements of building regulations.

[0175] In the process of performing steps ST505 to ST535 for a plurality of allocation patterns, if the information processing device 1 modifies the first building plan (ST545) for one allocation pattern, this modification of the first building plan is valid only for that one allocation pattern. This makes it possible to perform appropriate modifications to the first building plan for each allocation pattern that make it easier to meet the requirements of building regulations.

[0176] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes various variations.

[0177] In the above-described embodiment, the information processing device 1 provides building plan information to the terminal device 3 in response to a request from the terminal device 3, but in other embodiments of the present invention, the user may be able to view the building plan on a display or the like provided on the information processing device 1.

[0178] Some of the processes executed by the information processing device 1 described above may be executed by other devices (such as the terminal device 3). In this case, it can be said that the processes of the information processing device according to this embodiment are executed by a plurality of computers including the processing unit 13 of the information processing device 1 and processing units of the other devices.
