[0022] <Overview of Information Processing Device 100> First, using Figure 1, the overall system configuration including the information processing device 100 and the basic operation flow of the present invention will be explained. Figure 1 is a system diagram showing the system configuration of the information processing device 100 according to this embodiment.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1, the system of this embodiment comprises an information processing device 100, a network 200, and an external terminal 300. First, the first drawing of the entire building, the second drawing of the interior of the building, and documents related to the interior construction are transmitted from the external terminal 300 to the information processing device 100 via the network 200. Next, the information processing device 100 analyzes each of the received drawings and documents to extract the necessary information and compares it with pre-stored legal information related to the building to determine compliance with regulations. Then, the information processing device 100 generates judgment result information indicating the judgment result and transmits it to the external terminal 300 via the network 200. The external terminal 300 displays the received judgment result information on its screen. The user can easily confirm the legal compliance of the design drawings.

[0024] The information processing device 100 is a computer system that has the function of determining compliance with regulations regarding interior design drawings of a building. The information processing device 100 is configured, for example, as a server device and is equipped with a processor, memory, storage, etc. The information processing device 100 stores legal information related to the building, receives the first drawing, the second drawing, and documents related to interior construction transmitted from the external terminal 300, determines compliance with regulations, and returns the determination result information to the external terminal 300.

[0025] Network 200 is a communication network that enables communication between the information processing device 100 and the external terminal 300. Network 200 may be implemented using the Internet, a dedicated line, a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), etc. Network 200 may be either a wired or wireless connection.

[0026] The external terminal 300 is a terminal device that transmits architectural design drawings and related documents to the information processing device 100, and receives and displays judgment result information. The external terminal 300 can be implemented using, for example, a personal computer (PC), tablet terminal, or smartphone used by an architect, design office, or construction company. The external terminal 300 accepts input from the user and transmits the first drawing of the entire building, the second drawing of the interior of the building, and documents related to the interior construction work to the information processing device 100. The external terminal 300 also outputs the judgment result information received from the information processing device 100 via screen display.

[0027] <Configuration of the information processing device 100> Next, the configuration of the information processing device 100 will be described using Figure 2. Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of the information processing device 100. As shown in Figure 2, the information processing device 100 includes a communication unit 110, a ROM 120, a RAM 130, an input unit 140, a storage unit 150, an arithmetic unit 160, an output unit 170, and a display unit 180.

[0028] The communication unit 110 is a communication interface for communicating with the external terminal 300 via the network 200. The communication unit 110 receives data of the first drawing, the second drawing, and documents related to interior construction transmitted from the external terminal 300, and transmits judgment result information to the external terminal 300. The communication unit 110 is implemented by communication means such as wired LAN or wireless LAN.

[0029] ROM 120 is a read-only memory that stores programs and other data that control the basic operation of the information processing device 100. RAM 130 is an on-demand write / read memory that functions as a work area when the arithmetic unit 160 performs various processes.

[0030] The input unit 140 is an input interface that accepts input of the first drawing of the entire building, the second drawing of the building's interior, and documents related to the interior construction work. The input unit 140 may also accept data transmitted from an external terminal 300 via the communication unit 110. The input unit 140 may also accept input from an input device directly connected to the information processing device 100. The data of each drawing and document received by the input unit 140 is stored in the storage unit 150.

[0031] The first drawing refers to a design drawing that shows the overall structure and basic layout of the building. Specifically, it includes drawings that represent the building's framework and spatial configuration, but do not include information on the placement of interior fixtures, furniture, etc. The first drawing is used to grasp basic information such as the building's purpose, size, and structural type, and serves as a reference for checking the differences between it and the second drawing. For example, the first drawing may be a floor plan, elevation, section, site plan, cross-section, structural drawing, or foundation plan of the building. Furthermore, the first drawing may be image data or CAD data, as long as it is data that can be recognized as a drawing.

[0032] The second set of drawings refers to design drawings related to the interior of a building. Specifically, these are drawings that show in detail the arrangement, specifications, dimensions, etc., of furniture, equipment, finishing materials, and fixtures in the interior space. The second set of drawings provides specific information necessary for the construction of interior work and serves as reference material for determining compliance with legal regulations such as the Fire Service Act and the Building Standards Act, as well as fire compartments and evacuation routes. For example, the second set of drawings may include interior floor plans, overall ceiling plans, air conditioning equipment plans, sanitary equipment plans, electrical equipment plans, lighting equipment plans, kitchen layout plans, distribution board plans, hood fire extinguishing equipment plans, elevation drawings, furniture layout plans, and signage plans. Furthermore, the second set of drawings can be image data or CAD data, as long as the data is recognizable as a drawing.

[0033] Documents relating to interior construction work refer to documents that describe information regarding the specifications, materials used, construction methods, and compliance with regulations for interior construction work. Specifically, these are various documents that show the details of the work, material specifications, performance, confirmation items, and calculation results in text and table format. Documents relating to interior construction work, together with design drawings, are important materials for comprehensively determining compliance with regulations and include technical verification results such as the fire resistance performance of materials used, ventilation calculations, and illumination calculations. For example, documents relating to interior construction work include interior finish schedules, material usage lists, material approval applications, specifications, regulatory checklists, construction plans, ventilation calculations, illumination calculations, and fire-resistant material certificates.

[0034] The storage unit 150 is a storage device that stores various programs and data necessary for the operation of the information processing device 100. The storage unit 150 can be implemented using, for example, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), or flash memory. The storage unit 150 stores legal information related to buildings. The storage unit 150 also stores data of the first drawing, the second drawing, and documents related to interior construction received by the input unit 140.

[0035] Legal information concerning buildings includes standards, requirements, and restrictions based on various laws and regulations such as the Building Standards Act, the Fire Service Act, and fire prevention ordinances.

[0036] The arithmetic unit 160 is a processor that controls each part of the information processing device 100 and executes various arithmetic processes. The arithmetic unit 160 is implemented by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), etc. The arithmetic unit 160 realizes the functions of the information processing device 100 by executing various programs stored in the storage unit 150. The arithmetic unit 160 includes a generation unit 161.

[0037] The generation unit 161 has the function of determining whether the information obtained from the first drawing, the second drawing, and the documents related to the interior work meets the requirements of legal information related to the building, and generating determination result information indicating the result. The generation unit 161 analyzes the information extracted by the calculation unit 160 and determines compliance in light of the legal information stored in the storage unit 150. As a result of the determination, the generation unit 161 generates information indicating "compliant" if it is compliant, and "non-compliant" if it is not compliant. In addition, if the generation unit 161 determines that it is non-compliant, it also generates determination result information including the specific reason, the relevant articles of law, and detailed information on the parts that need to be corrected.

[0038] The generation unit 161 obtains basic information such as the building's purpose, size, and structure from the first drawing, detailed information such as the type of interior materials, equipment layout, and evacuation routes from the second drawing, and technical data such as the fire resistance performance and ventilation capacity of the materials used from documents related to the interior work. The generation unit 161 then compares this information with the standard values, restrictions, and requirements in the Building Standards Act, Fire Service Act, and other legal information stored in the storage unit 150, and individually determines whether each item conforms to the standards.

[0039] The generation unit 161 processes the data of the first drawing, the second drawing, and the documents related to the interior construction received from the input unit 140, and performs the following processing. The generation unit 161 reads each drawing data as image data or CAD data and generates drawing configuration information by extracting elements such as line segments, text, and hatching. Next, based on the extracted configuration information, it identifies components such as partition lines, fixtures, equipment, and openings, and generates attribute information such as the position coordinates, dimensions, type, material, and use of each element.

[0040] Next, the generation unit 161 compares the legal information stored in the storage unit 150 with the attribute information of each element. Specifically, the generation unit 161 identifies the parts or elements on the drawing that correspond to each standard item included in the legal information (for example, "distance from combustible materials within a fire compartment," "effective width of a passageway," "installation height of emergency exit signs," "illumination standards for lighting," etc.), and calculates their dimensional values ​​and positional relationships. Then, the generation unit 161 compares the calculated dimensional values ​​and placement information with the standard values ​​or condition values ​​defined in the legal information to determine whether the element meets the standards.

[0041] The generation unit 161 repeatedly performs this verification process on the first drawing, the second drawing, and the entire document relating to the interior work, classifying each judgment result as either "compliant" or "non-compliant." The generation unit 161 generates judgment result information corresponding to the elements determined to be non-compliant, including their location information, standard item name, judgment category, and supplementary comments. The judgment result information is generated as notes, warning marks, or comment information and transmitted to the output unit 170.

[0042] The generation unit 161 may be configured to include a learning model that has learned from multiple first drawings, second drawings, and documents related to interior construction work, and to generate judgment result information using this learning model. The learning model may be implemented by, for example, a machine learning model, a deep learning model, etc. The learning model has the function of automatically determining compliance with regulations for newly input drawings and documents by learning the correspondence between past first drawings, second drawings, and documents related to interior construction work and the judgment results of compliance with regulations. When learning from multiple first drawings, second drawings, and documents related to interior construction work, the learning model may be trained separately for each industry.

[0043] The generation unit 161 may determine the type of business (restaurant, retail store, office, etc.) of the building based on the input first drawing, second drawing, and documents relating to the interior work, and then start the judgment process by applying the legal standards corresponding to the determined type of business. This enables the information processing device 100 to make a judgment that appropriately considers legal regulations specific to the business (for example, fire safety standards for kitchen equipment in restaurants, requirements for evacuation routes in retail stores, etc.).

[0044] The learning model may include a generative AI such as a large-scale language model. The learning model equipped with the generative AI may have the function of interpreting the contents of the first drawing, the second drawing, and the documents relating to the interior work to determine compliance with regulations, and generating text information such as the reason for the determination and suggested modifications. By using the learning model, the generation unit 161 can efficiently analyze the requirements of complex legal regulations and the contents of the drawings, and generate highly accurate determination result information. Furthermore, the learning model can improve its determination accuracy by continuously learning new data, and can flexibly respond to legal revisions and the addition of new standards.

[0045] The generation unit 161 may be characterized by generating judgment result information by weighting each judgment result information. Specifically, the generation unit 161 sets different weight coefficients for multiple judgment items obtained from the first drawing, the second drawing, and documents relating to interior work, according to their importance under legal regulations, impact on safety, and difficulty of modification, and generates comprehensive judgment result information by multiplying the conformity judgment result of each judgment item by the weight coefficient. For example, by setting high weight coefficients for items directly related to human life safety, such as securing evacuation routes and installing fire compartments, and relatively low weight coefficients for items relating to design elements and minor specifications, it is possible to clarify items with high priority in determining compliance with legal regulations.

[0046] The generation unit 161 may be configured to generate non-conforming items in different colors based on the weighted judgment results, such as red for high-priority non-conforming items, yellow for moderately important non-conforming items, and blue for minor non-conforming items.

[0047] The output unit 170 is an output interface that outputs the judgment result information generated by the generation unit 161. The output unit 170 receives the judgment result information generated by the generation unit 161 and outputs it externally in an appropriate format. Output formats for the judgment result information include screen display on a display device, printing by a printer, saving as an electronic file (PDF, HTML, XML, etc.), and transmission to an external terminal 300 via the communication unit 110.

[0048] The output unit 170 may output the judgment result information in a format that overlays it on the second drawing as a note, marker, or highlight. Alternatively, the output unit 170 may output the judgment result information as a separate document in text format. The output unit 170 is configured to allow the user to easily confirm which parts of the design drawing meet the legal standards by overlaying the judgment result information on the second drawing.

[0049] The display unit 180 is a display device that displays the judgment result information output from the output unit 170 on a screen. The display unit 180 can be implemented using, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, etc. The display unit 180 displays the judgment result information in a visually easy-to-understand manner, allowing the user to easily confirm the compliance of the design drawings with regulations.

[0050] <Examples from the first and second drawings> Figure 3(a) is a schematic diagram showing an example of the first drawing, and Figure 3(b) is a schematic diagram showing an example of the second drawing.

[0051] Figure 3(a) is a schematic diagram showing an example of the first drawing. The first drawing is a drawing that shows the state of the building before interior design is carried out, and represents the exterior shape of the tenant space and the structural framework of the building. The first drawing only shows basic structural elements such as the outer walls 10 and entrances 11, and does not include the arrangement of interior furnishings or equipment.

[0052] Figure 3(b) is a schematic diagram showing an example of the second drawing. The second drawing is based on the first drawing and reflects the interior design, and includes interior elements such as chairs 20, furniture 21, and aisles 22 within the same area. The second drawing shows the specific specifications of the interior plan.

[0053] <Judgment result information in the floor plan> As shown in Figure 4, the generation unit 161 analyzes the plan view data and compares it with pre-set judgment criteria to make a judgment for each check item and generate plan view judgment result information 400a to k.

[0054] The generation unit 161 extracts the position coordinates of the fire shutter from the plan view data and determines whether or not there are any combustible materials located within 150 mm of those coordinates. The generation unit 161 calculates the distance between the shutter thickness and its components and compares it with the slat's movable range data. If it determines that the separation distance is less than the standard value, it generates the plan view judgment result information 400a, which reads: "A separation of 160 mm from the fire shutter for combustible materials is required. Please be careful. There is a possibility that the shutter thickness may be pointed out. Since the slat thickness is approximately 40 mm, a total separation of 170 mm must be ensured."

[0055] The generation unit 161 refers to the plan drawing data and searches for the presence or absence of attribute information related to the floor rail. If it determines that attribute data such as the model number, material, or installation method of the floor rail is missing, the generation unit 161 generates "What is the floor rail for the joinery?" as the plan drawing determination result information 400b.

[0056] The generation unit 161 extracts facility information such as luggage storage areas, lockers, or luggage racks in the seating area from the floor plan data and calculates the ratio of capacity to the expected number of users. If the ratio falls below a preset threshold, or if no relevant facility information exists, the generation unit 161 generates "How are customer luggage handled?" as the floor plan judgment result information 400c.

[0057] The generation unit 161 searches the plan view data for symbols or text information indicating evacuation routes and identifies the display location of the final exit. If it determines that the final exit is not shown, the generation unit 161 generates "Please show the final exit" as the plan view determination result information 400d.

[0058] The generation unit 161 extracts customer chairs from the floor plan data. If the chair is movable rather than fixed, the generation unit 161 generates the floor plan judgment result information 400e, which reads, "It appears to be a movable high chair, but is there any risk of tipping over?"

[0059] The generation unit 161 extracts switch (SW) symbols and legend information from the plan view data. If it determines that the legend is not clearly indicated by a leader line, the generation unit 161 generates "The descriptions of various SWs should be clearly indicated by a leader line" as the plan view determination result information 400f.

[0060] The generation unit 161 obtains information on fire shutters from the floor plan data, and if it determines that the latest legal standards are not met, the generation unit 161 generates "Fire shutter (hazard prevention device inspection, descent obstruction)" as floor plan determination result information 400g.

[0061] The generation unit 161 traces the drain piping route of the wine cellar from the plan view data and confirms that the connection destination is a SUS waterproof pan. It extracts information on pipe diameter, gradient, and the installation location of the leak detector from the piping specification data. If it determines that this detailed information is not provided or that a leak detector is not installed, the generation unit 161 generates the following as the plan view determination result information 400h: "The wine cellar drain is connected to a SUS waterproof pan, but please provide details. Confirmation of the installation of a leak detector is necessary."

[0062] The generation unit 161 obtains door opening angle information from the plan view data and performs an interference check with the emergency exit lights placed in the surrounding area. If the opening angle is less than 90 degrees, or if interference with an emergency exit light is detected, the generation unit 161 generates "Emergency exit lights that require the main switchboard door to be opened to 90 degrees or more" as the plan view judgment result information 400i.

[0063] The generation unit 161 extracts the placement coordinates of equipment and machinery from the plan drawing data and determines whether relative coordinates from the grid lines are included as dimension values. If it determines that only absolute coordinates are included or that dimension notation from the grid lines is missing, the generation unit 161 generates "Indicate mounting dimensions from the grid lines" as the plan drawing determination result information 400j.

[0064] The generation unit 161 extracts the placement coordinates of fire extinguishers from the floor plan data and compares them with the placement standards based on the Fire Service Act. It calculates the installation density of fire extinguishers, walking distance, and whether or not their location is indicated in each area (seating area, kitchen, etc.). If it determines that the standards are not met or the location is not clearly indicated, the generation unit 161 generates "Please properly place and indicate the location of fire extinguishers (seating area and kitchen)" as floor plan judgment result information 400k.

[0065] <Information on the judgment results in the disaster prevention equipment diagram> Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing the result of an information processing device 100 of one embodiment outputting judgment result information to disaster prevention equipment diagram data. As shown in Figure 5, the generation unit 161 performs a judgment and generates and outputs the judgment result information 500a to 500k of the disaster prevention equipment diagram on the disaster prevention equipment diagram.

[0066] The generation unit 161 extracts the position coordinates of the overhead cabinets and sprinklers (SP) from the fire safety equipment diagram data and calculates the separation distance between them. The generation unit 161 refers to the placement data of the pendant lighting fixtures and calculates the distance between the lighting fixtures and the SP. The generation unit 161 determines whether the calculated separation distance meets the standard value of 300 mm stipulated by the Fire Service Act. If it is less than the standard value, the generation unit 161 generates the following as the judgment result information 500a for the fire safety equipment diagram: "A separation of 300 mm is required between the overhead cabinets and the SP, but is the distance to the pendant sufficient?"
