Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and a program.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, in the fields of architecture and facilities, the use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) software has been progressing. BIM software is software for constructing a BIM model corresponding to a building (see Patent Document 1 below).

[0003] In addition, a BIM model is constructed by incorporating a plurality of BIM parts corresponding to a part of a structure of a building. Structures include, for example, apparatuses such as a system toilet, walls, columns, and the like. And attribute information is associated with each BIM part.

[0004] For structures, design and production according to the width of the installation site and the specifications of equipment piping are required. Therefore, although there is a standard design (basic design), basically, design and component deployment need to be carried out each time.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, a plurality of embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For the sake of easy understanding of the description, the same components and steps in each drawing are labeled with the same reference numerals as much as possible, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

[0017] ===First Embodiment=== First, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0018] ≪Overall Configuration≫ FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a communication system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 1 includes an information processing device 2 and a plurality of terminal devices 3. The information processing device 2 and the terminal devices 3 are communicably connected to each other via a communication network NT such as the Internet, an intranet, or a telephone line.

[0020] The information processing device 2 is an information processing device that provides the execution result obtained by executing the program 2A to each terminal device 3 via the communication network NT. The information processing device 2 may be, for example, a tablet or a personal computer.

[0021] In addition, the information processing device 2 generates a BIM model corresponding to the building by incorporating BIM parts corresponding to the structure as a part of the building. The building may be, for example, a building or a commercial facility, and the structure may be, for example, a fixture such as a system toilet, a wall, or a column.

[0022] Each terminal device 3 is a device installed at locations P1, P2, ..., PN (where N is any number) where each component is produced, such as a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer. Here, "component" refers to the parts that make up a structure. These parts, for example, if the structure is a system toilet, include fixtures (toilet bowl, toilet seat, faucet, electric water heater, etc.), counter / deck, piping, frame (sheet metal), front panel, etc. Also, "location" here may refer to an office, factory, production line, manufacturing line, etc. The terminal device 3 manages production at each location. Furthermore, for example, terminal device 3 may control a production line device (or manufacturing line device), or it may be the production line device (or manufacturing line device) itself.

[0023] Hardware Configuration Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing device 2. As shown in Figure 2, the information processing device 2 comprises, as its main hardware components, a control device 4, a communication device 7, a storage device 8, a display device 9, and an input device 10. The control device 4 is mainly composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 5 and memory 6.

[0024] In the control device 4, the CPU 5 executes a predetermined program stored in the memory 6 or storage device 8, thereby functioning as various functional means. Details of these functional means will be described later.

[0025] The communication device 7 consists of a communication interface and the like for communicating with external devices. For example, the communication device 7 sends and receives various types of information with each terminal device 3.

[0026] The storage device 8 consists of a hard disk or the like. This storage device 8 stores various programs necessary for executing processing in the control device 4, including program 2A, as well as various information and processing result information.

[0027] The display device 9 is a display responsible for display functions and is capable of displaying various images and videos. The input device 10 is a keyboard or the like that responsible for input functions and is capable of detecting the user's input position. However, the display device 9 and the input device 10 may be a single integrated unit (such as a touch panel).

[0028] Furthermore, the information processing device 2 can be implemented using a dedicated or general-purpose personal computer, tablet, or other information processing device. The information processing device 2 may consist of a single information processing device or multiple information processing devices distributed over the communication network NT. Also, Figure 2 only shows a portion of the main hardware configuration of the information processing device 2; the information processing device 2 may have other configurations commonly found in personal computers, tablets, and other information processing devices.

[0029] ≪Functional means≫ Figure 3 is a schematic block diagram showing an example of the functional means of the information processing device 2 shown in Figure 2. As shown in Figure 3, the information processing device 2 comprises, as its main functional components, a storage means 11, a receiving means 12, a display means 13, a modeling means 14, an extraction means 15, and a transmission means 16.

[0030] The storage means 11 is implemented by one or more storage devices 8. Other functional means, described later, are implemented by the control device 4 executing a program 2A stored in the storage device 8 or the like.

[0031] The storage means 11 has the function of storing part information 11A, BIM parts 11B, attribute information group 11C, BIM model 11D, and device information 11E.

[0032] Part information 11A is data for generating BIM part 10B. Part information 11A may be data corresponding to the components that make up the structure described later (3D data of the components, and part IDs, etc.).

[0033] BIM Part 11B is data corresponding to a structure as part of a specific building. Specifically, it consists of 3D data of the structure and a BIM Part ID. BIM Part 11B is used to generate BIM Model 11D.

[0034] Attribute information group 11C consists of multiple types of attribute information and information group IDs. Attribute information group 11C is linked to each BIM part 11B. The parameters of each of these attribute information items can be modified by the user. Note that "linking" here may refer to linking the IDs of each other (the same applies to various types of linking below).

[0035] The attribute information included in attribute information group 11C includes, for example, the number of units, fixture pitch, fixture end dimensions, color, part number, release date, and service life. Note that "fixture" refers to one type of component, and if the structure is not a fixture such as a system toilet, the attribute information may be replaced with the pitch or dimensions of other components.

[0036] A BIM model 11D is data corresponding to a specific building. Specifically, it consists of the building's 3D data and its BIM model ID. A BIM model 11D is generated by incorporating multiple BIM parts 11B, each linked to an attribute information group 11C, which consists of multiple types of attribute information. As a result, the BIM model 11D is in a state where multiple attribute information groups 11C are linked (or contains multiple attribute information groups 11C).

[0037] Device information 11E is information (such as device ID) that identifies each terminal device 3 installed at each location P1, P2, ..., PN.

[0038] The reception means 12 are functional means that receive various operation instructions from the user, which will be described later. The reception means 12 also receive setting inputs from the user, such as parameters of the attribute information group 11C.

[0039] The display means 19 is a functional means for displaying various screens. These various screens include, for example, an operation screen for the user to perform various operations, a display screen for displaying part information 11A, BIM parts 11B, attribute information and attribute information groups 11C, and a BIM model 11D, etc.

[0040] The modeling means 14 is a functional means that, upon receiving user operation instructions from the reception means 12, combines part information 11A stored in the storage means 11 based on a group of attribute information 11C (parameters of each attribute information set by the user) which are multiple types of attribute information, to generate a BIM part 11B.

[0041] Furthermore, the modeling means 14 generates a BIM model 11D by incorporating (or combining) multiple BIM parts 11B.

[0042] The BIM parts 11B and BIM models 11D generated by the modeling means 14 are stored in the storage means 11.

[0043] The extraction means 15, upon receiving user operation instructions from the reception means 12, extracts the attribute information necessary for producing each component that makes up each structure from the attribute information group 11C associated with the BIM part 11B.

[0044] Furthermore, the extraction means 15 links each extracted attribute information to each terminal device 3 that manages the production of each component.

[0045] Preferably, the attribute information extracted by the extraction means 15 is information regarding the part number of the component, and / or information regarding the dimensions of the component. This includes, for example, the part number, number of units, fixture pitch, and fixture end dimensions. The attribute information extracted by the extraction means 15 may also be set and changed by the user (receiving means 12 accepts this).

[0046] The transmission means 16 is a functional means that, when the receiving means 12 receives an operation instruction from the user, transmits the attribute information that the extraction means 15 has associated with each location P1, P2, ..., PN to each terminal device 3 (each device) that manages production at each location P1, P2, ..., PN.

[0047] <<Processing Flow>> The following describes an example of the process up to the transmission of attribute information by the information processing device 2, using the flowchart in Figure 4. Note that the order and content of the following steps can be changed as appropriate.

[0048] (Step SP1) The user inputs each attribute information (parameters, etc.) included in the attribute information group 11C on an operation screen not shown in the diagram. The input attribute information group 11C is received by the reception means 12. The attribute information group 11C is linked to the BIM part 11B. After step SP1 is completed, the process moves on to step SP2.

[0049] (Step SP2) The modeling means 14 generates a BIM part 11B by combining part information 11A based on each attribute information of the attribute information group 11C received by the receiving means 12 in step SP1. For example, if BIM part 11B is a toilet system and the attribute information included in attribute information group 11C indicates a number of units, the modeling means 14 generates a BIM part 11B with three toilets (urinals) arranged in a row. The BIM part 11B generated by the modeling means 14 is stored in the storage means 11 with the attribute information group 11C linked to it. After step SP2 is completed, the process moves on to step SP3.

[0050] (Step SP3) The reception means 12 receives user operation instructions on an operation screen (not shown), and the modeling means 14 generates a BIM model 11D using the BIM parts 11B stored in the storage means 11 in step SP2. The BIM model 11D generated by the modeling means 14 is stored in the storage means 11. After step SP3 is completed, the process moves on to step SP4.

[0051] (Step SP4) The reception means 12 receives user operation instructions on an operation screen (not shown), and the extraction means 15 extracts the attribute information necessary for producing each component that makes up each structure from the attribute information group 11C associated with the BIM parts 11B generated by the modeling means 14 in step SP3. Furthermore, the extraction means 15 associates each extracted attribute information with each terminal device 3. The attribute information associated with each terminal device 3 is stored separately in the storage means 11. After step SP4 is completed, the process moves on to step SP5.

[0052] (Step SP5) When the receiving means 12 receives user operation instructions on an operation screen (not shown), the transmitting means 16 transmits to each terminal device 3 the attribute information that the extraction means 15 has associated with each terminal device 3 in step SP4. After step SP5 is completed, the process will end.

[0053] Furthermore, each worker at each location P1, P2, ..., PN produces or manufactures the components based on the attribute information received by each terminal device 3. However, the production of these components may be carried out automatically by a production line device (or manufacturing line device; the same applies hereinafter) controlled by each terminal device 3, or, if the terminal device 3 is the production line device itself, it may be produced by the terminal device 3.

[0054] As described above, each component produced is gathered in one place, assembled to form a structure, and the completed structure is shipped for use in buildings (such as office buildings and commercial facilities). The process of assembling each component may also be automated by the production line.

[0055] ≪Effects≫ The information processing device 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a storage means 11 that stores a BIM part 11B corresponding to a structure which is part of a building, an attribute information group 11C which is one or more types of attribute information associated with the BIM part 11B, and a BIM model 11D which is generated by incorporating the BIM part 11B and corresponds to a building; an extraction means 15 that extracts attribute information necessary for producing components that make up the structure from the attribute information group 11C and associates the extracted attribute information with a device (terminal device 3) that manages the production of the components; and a transmission means 16 that transmits the attribute information associated with each device (terminal device 3) by the extraction means 15 to the device (terminal device 3). With this configuration, attribute information is transmitted to each device (terminal device 3) that manages the production of each component (e.g., the toilet bowl itself) that makes up a structure (e.g., a system toilet), allowing workers at each location P1, P2, ..., PN to produce the components without having to separately prepare files such as drawings and configuration lists. Therefore, compared to the conventional method where each worker at each location P1, P2, ..., PN separately prepares files such as drawings and configuration lists, the production efficiency of the structure can be improved. Furthermore, since the attribute information necessary for the production of each component is extracted from the attribute information group 11C linked to the BIM model 11D and transmitted to each terminal device 3, the amount of data can be reduced compared to, for example, transmitting the BIM model 11D and all attribute information linked to the BIM model 11D to each terminal device 3.

[0056] Furthermore, in the information processing device 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the attribute information extracted by the extraction means 15 is information regarding the part number of the component, and / or information regarding the dimensions of the component. With this configuration, the part numbers and dimensions required for the production of each component are transmitted to the terminal device 3, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0057] Furthermore, the information processing device 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention further includes a modeling means 14 that generates BIM parts 11B based on attribute information group 11C and generates a BIM model 11D by incorporating the BIM parts 11B. This configuration allows the information processing device 2 to perform not only attribute information processing but also BIM model 11D generation, thus improving convenience.

[0058] Furthermore, the program according to the first embodiment of the present invention causes the computer to function as a storage means 11 that stores a BIM part 11B corresponding to a structure which is part of a building, an attribute information group 11C which is one or more types of attribute information linked to the BIM part 11B, and a BIM model 11D which is generated by incorporating the BIM part 11B and corresponds to a building; an extraction means 15 that extracts attribute information necessary for producing the components that make up the structure from the attribute information group 11C and links the extracted attribute information to a device (terminal device 3) that manages the production of the components; and a transmission means 16 that transmits the attribute information linked to each device (terminal device 3) by the extraction means 15 to the device (terminal device 3). With this configuration, attribute information is transmitted to each device (terminal device 3) that manages the production of each component (e.g., the toilet bowl itself) that makes up a structure (e.g., a system toilet), allowing workers at each location P1, P2, ..., PN to produce the components without having to separately prepare files such as drawings and configuration lists. Therefore, compared to the conventional method where each worker at each location P1, P2, ..., PN separately prepares files such as drawings and configuration lists, the production efficiency of the structure can be improved. Furthermore, since the attribute information necessary for the production of each component is extracted from the attribute information group 11C linked to the BIM model 11D and transmitted to each terminal device 3, the amount of data can be reduced compared to, for example, transmitting the BIM model 11D and all attribute information linked to the BIM model 11D to each terminal device 3.

[0059] ===Second Embodiment=== Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, points that overlap with the configuration and functions of the information processing device 2 according to the first embodiment will be omitted as appropriate.

[0060] ≪Functional means≫ Figure 5 is a schematic block diagram showing an example of the functional means of the information processing device 2B according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 5, the information processing device 2B comprises, as the main functional components, a storage means 21, a receiving means 12, a display means 13, a modeling means 14, a linking means 22, an extraction means 25, and a transmission means 16. Of these, the receiving means 12, display means 13, modeling means 14, and transmission means 16 are the same as in the first embodiment, so their explanation will be omitted.

[0061] In addition to the information described in the first embodiment, the storage means 21 also stores manufacturer information 21A. Manufacturer information 21A is information (name, ID, etc.) that identifies the manufacturer of each structure.

[0062] The linking means 22 is a functional means that, upon receiving user operation instructions from the reception means 12, links each attribute information group 11C associated with each structure to each manufacturer of that structure. For example, the linking means 22 links the ID of each attribute information group 11C associated with each structure to the ID of the manufacturer information 21A of each structure. Alternatively, the linking means 22 may link a set of attribute information 11C associated with a predetermined specific structure to the manufacturer of that specific structure.

[0063] The extraction means 25 is a functional means that, upon receiving user operation instructions from the reception means 12, extracts the attribute information necessary for producing each component that makes up each structure from each attribute information group linked by the linking means 22 for each manufacturer.

[0064] Furthermore, the extraction means 25 links each extracted attribute information to each terminal device 3 that manages the production of each component at each manufacturer.

[0065] <<Processing Flow>> An example of the processing of the information processing device 2B according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be explained using the flowchart in Figure 6. The order and content of the following steps can be changed as appropriate. Steps SP11, SP12, SP13, and SP16 are the same as in the first embodiment and will therefore not be explained.

[0066] (Step SP14) This step is performed after the generation of the BIM model 11D in step SP13. The linking means 22 receives user operation instructions on an operation screen (not shown) via the receiving means 12, and links each attribute information group 11C associated with each structure to each manufacturer of each structure. After step SP14 is completed, the process moves on to step SP15.

[0067] (Step SP15) The extraction means 25, upon receiving user operation instructions from the reception means 12, extracts the attribute information necessary for producing each component that makes up each structure from each attribute information group linked by the linking means 22 for each manufacturer. After step SP15 is completed, the process will end.

[0068] ≪Effects≫ The information processing device 2B according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a storage means 21 that stores a plurality of BIM parts 11B corresponding to each structure which is part of a building, an attribute information group 11C which is one or more types of attribute information associated with each BIM part 11B, and a BIM model 11D which is generated by incorporating each BIM part 11B and corresponds to the building; a linking means 22 which links each attribute information group 11C to each manufacturer of each structure; an extraction means 25 which extracts attribute information necessary for producing each component that constitutes each structure from each attribute information group 11C linked to each manufacturer by the linking means 22, and links each extracted attribute information to a device (terminal device 3) that manages the production of each component at each manufacturer; and a transmission means 16 which transmits the attribute information linked to the device (terminal device 3) by the extraction means 25 to the device (terminal device 3). With this configuration, if there are multiple manufacturers that share the same BIM model 11D but produce different BIM parts 11B, it is possible to reliably separate the attribute information necessary for production for each manufacturer, preventing the mixing and leakage of attribute information among manufacturers.

[0069] Furthermore, the information processing device 2B according to the second embodiment of the present invention further includes a modeling means 14 that generates BIM parts 11B based on attribute information group 11C and generates a BIM model 11D by incorporating the BIM parts 11B. This configuration allows the information processing device 2B to perform not only attribute information processing but also BIM model 11D generation, thus improving convenience.

[0070] Furthermore, the program according to the second embodiment of the present invention causes the computer to function as a storage means 21 that stores a plurality of BIM parts 11B corresponding to each structure which is part of a building, each attribute information group 11C which is one or more types of attribute information associated with each BIM part 11B, and a BIM model 11D which is generated by incorporating each BIM part 11B and corresponds to the building; a linking means 22 that links each attribute information group 11C to each manufacturer of each structure; an extraction means 25 that extracts attribute information necessary for producing each component that constitutes each structure from each attribute information group 11C linked to each manufacturer by the linking means 22, and links each extracted attribute information to a device (terminal device 3) that manages the production of each component at each manufacturer; and a transmission means 16 that transmits the attribute information linked to the device (terminal device 3) by the extraction means 25 to the device (terminal device 3). With this configuration, if there are multiple manufacturers that share the same BIM model 11D but produce different BIM parts 11B, it is possible to reliably separate the attribute information necessary for production for each manufacturer, preventing the mixing and leakage of attribute information among manufacturers.

[0071] ===Literal translation=== It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described examples. That is, designs modified by those skilled in the art to the above-described examples are also included within the scope of the present invention, as long as they retain the features of the present invention. Furthermore, the elements of the embodiments described above and the modifications described later can be combined to the extent that it is technically possible, and combinations thereof are also included within the scope of the present invention, as long as they retain the features of the present invention.

[0072] For example, in the first embodiment of the present invention, each terminal device 3 is provided at each location P1, P2, ..., PN, but each terminal device 3 may be installed anywhere as long as it can perform production management of structures at each location P1, P2, ..., PN.

[0073] Furthermore, in the first embodiment of the present invention, device information 11E is stored in the storage means 11, and the extraction means 15 associates the extracted attribute information with each terminal device 3, i.e., the device information 11E. However, the storage means 11 may also store location information (such as an ID set for each location) indicating each location P1, P2, ..., PN, and the extraction means 15 may associate each of the extracted attribute information with each location P1, P2, ..., PN, i.e., the location information. However, even in that case, the location information and the device information 11E are linked, and the transmission means 16 transmits the attribute information extracted and linked by the extraction means 15 to each terminal device 3 (each device) that performs production management at each location P1, P2, ..., PN.

[0074] Furthermore, in the second embodiment of the present invention, it was described that a single information processing device 2B is equipped with a modeling means 14, a linking means 22, and an extraction means 25. However, one information processing device (not shown) capable of communicating with each other may be equipped with a modeling means 14 and a linking means 22, while another information processing device (not shown) may be equipped with an extraction means 25 (all information processing devices shall be equipped with other functional configurations). In that case, there may be multiple other information processing devices, each managed by a different manufacturer. Then, in one information processing device acting as a server, the attribute information group 11C linked by the linking means 22 is transmitted by the transmission means (not shown) to other information processing devices managed by each manufacturer. In the other information processing devices, the attribute information group 11C is received by the receiving means (not shown), and the attribute information is extracted from the attribute information group 11C by the extraction means 25. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent attribute information from being mixed and leaked among manufacturers. [Explanation of Symbols]
