Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0021] The assembly creation support method, assembly creation support system, and program according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. An assembly is something that can be made by combining multiple components, and includes furniture, pergolas, dog houses, cycle ports, beds for overnight stays in vehicles, and vehicle racks.
[0022] <Assembly Product Creation Support System> Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an assembly production support system. As shown in Figure 1, the assembly production support system 100 comprises a user terminal 1, a processing terminal 2, and a server 3. The user terminal 1, processing terminal 2, and server 3 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate via a network 4 (e.g., the Internet). The assembly production support system helps to extract multiple components from at least one or more materials and to produce an assembly using the extracted components.
[0023] <User terminal, processing company terminal> User terminal 1 and processing company terminal 2 are, for example, smartphones, tablet devices, or personal computers.
[0024] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of user terminal 1. As shown in Figure 2, user terminal 1 has a communication unit 11, a display unit 12, an input unit 13, a storage unit 14, and a control unit 15. The communication unit 11, display unit 12, input unit 13, storage unit 14, and control unit 15 can communicate with each other via a bus line 16.
[0025] The communication unit 11 enables voice communication with other telephones via the mobile phone communication network, data communication with various servers (including server 3) via network 4, and communication with other information terminals via a dedicated cable.
[0026] The display unit 12 is an image display device such as a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, or a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display. The display unit 12 displays sample images and input screens, which will be described later, to the user.
[0027] The input unit 13 consists of a touch panel, keyboard, pointing device (mouse, tablet, etc.), or operation buttons. The input unit 13 accepts input from the user.
[0028] The memory unit 14 is composed of one or more of the following: HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), mask ROM (Read Only Memory), EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory).
[0029] The control unit 15 is composed of a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and memory. The control unit 15 reads and executes the program stored in the storage unit 14.
[0030] Since the processing company terminal 2 can have the same configuration as the user terminal 1 described above, a detailed explanation will be omitted. A processing company is, for example, a home improvement store.
[0031] <server> Server 3 is an application server with a program installed to support the creation of assembled products. Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of Server 3. As shown in Figure 3, Server 3 comprises a communication unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a control unit 33. The communication unit 31, the storage unit 32, and the control unit 33 can communicate with each other via a bus line 34.
[0032] The communication unit 31 is a communication interface that communicates with the user terminal 1 and the processing company terminal 2 via the network 4.
[0033] The memory unit 32 stores programs, assembly information, input screen information, and the like. The assembly information includes the names of multiple types of assemblies and information about sample images for each assembly. The input screen information includes information about the input screen associated with each assembly. The input screen is a screen for inputting dimensions related to the assembly, as will be described later. The memory unit 32 is composed of one or more of the following, for example, an HDD, SSD, mask ROM, EPROM, and EEPROM.
[0034] The control unit 33 is configured using a processor such as a CPU or GPU, and memory, etc. Figure 4 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the server 3. As shown in Figure 4, the control unit 33 realizes the functions of the first display control unit 331, the second display control unit 332, the modification unit 333, the material drawing generation unit 334, the proposal unit 335, and the editing unit 336 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 32. The program may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. A computer-readable recording medium is a non-temporary storage medium such as a flexible disk, magneto-optical disk, ROM, CD-ROM, or other portable media, or a hard disk built into a computer system. The program may be transmitted via a telecommunications line. Some of these functions do not need to be installed on the server 3 and may be realized by installing additional application programs on the server 3.
[0035] The first display control unit 331 displays multiple assemblies on the display unit 12 of the user terminal 1. As a result, as shown in Figure 5, multiple assemblies are displayed on the display unit 12 of the user terminal 1. The display unit 12 displays both a thumbnail image 51 and the name 52 of the assembly. The user selects the assembly they want to make and presses its thumbnail image. The user terminal 1 may also display only the thumbnail image 51 of the assembly on the display unit 12, or only the name 52. The user terminal 1 may also display the names of multiple assemblies in a pull-down format.
[0036] The second display control unit 332 displays a sample image of the assembly selected by the user, as well as an input screen for the dimensions of the selected assembly, on the user terminal. As a result, as shown in Figure 6, the display unit 12 of the user terminal 1 displays both the sample image 53 of the assembly and the input screen 54.
[0037] Note that sample image 53 is displayed in an oblique view. Input screen 54 is a screen for entering the dimensions of each part of the assembly. Input screen 54 has multiple input fields 541. The user enters dimensions, the number of shelves, etc. in each input field 541. Input screen 54 also includes a pull-down menu for selecting the material of each component of the assembly.
[0038] The modification unit 333 modifies the sample image 53 displayed on the user terminal 1 based on the values entered in each input field 541 of the input screen 54. For example, if a height greater than the height of the sample image 53 is entered in the input field 541, the modification unit 333 modifies the sample image 53 so that its height increases, and displays it on the user terminal 1.
[0039] The material layout diagram generation unit 334 generates a material layout diagram based on the input values entered in each input field 541. The material layout diagram generation unit 334 then displays the generated material layout diagram on the user terminal 1. As a result, a material layout diagram like the one shown in Figure 8 is displayed on the display unit 12 of the user terminal 1. In Figure 8, reference numerals 1a to 1e indicate the individual components that make up the assembly.
[0040] The suggestion unit 335 displays the tools, screws, and fasteners necessary for assembling the assembled product on the user terminal 1. The suggestion unit 335 on the server 3 may also calculate the amount of paint required based on the painting area and display that amount on the user terminal 1.
[0041] Editorial Department 336 accepts user edits to material layout drawings. For example, a user can move member 1c in a material layout drawing as shown in Figure 8 to area A indicated by the dashed line in Figure 8, thereby changing the material layout drawing to the one shown in Figure 9.
[0042] <Methods for supporting the manufacture of assembled products> The assembly creation support method will be described below with reference to Figures 10 and 11. Figures 10 and 11 are sequence diagrams showing the assembly creation support method executed by a computer. Note that the order of the following processes can be changed as appropriate. Also, multiple processes may be executed simultaneously.
[0043] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, in step S1, the first display control unit 331 of the server 3 causes multiple assemblies to be displayed on the user terminal 1. Specifically, the first display control unit 331 transmits information about the multiple assemblies to be displayed on the user terminal 1 to the user terminal 1.
[0044] In step S2, the user terminal 1 displays multiple assemblies on the display unit 12 based on the assembly information from the server 3. Specifically, the user terminal 1 displays thumbnail images of the multiple assemblies. Figure 5 shows an example of the display unit 12 with multiple thumbnail images displayed.
[0045] In step S3, the user receives multiple thumbnail images. 51 From there, thumbnail image of the desired assembly product. The statue Press the button. As a result, user terminal 1 receives the operation that the user has selected an assembly and sends selection information to server 3 indicating which assembly the user has selected. In step S4, server 3 receives the selection information.
[0046] In step S5, the second display control unit 332 of the server 3 displays a sample of the assembly selected by the user and an input screen for the dimensions of the assembly selected by the user on the user terminal 1. Specifically, the second display control unit 332 transmits sample information, which is information about the sample, and input screen information, which is information about the input screen corresponding to that sample, to the user terminal 1. Each input screen information is linked to the corresponding assembly information and stored in the storage unit 32.
[0047] If the assembled product selected by the user is an assembled product with a storage compartment, such as a storage shelf or bookshelf, the input screen 54 includes radio buttons or a dropdown menu for selecting between external dimensions and internal dimensions. If external dimensions are selected, the input field for dimensions based on the external dimensions of the assembled product becomes editable. The input field for dimensions based on internal dimensions may be disabled or not displayed on the input screen 54. On the other hand, if internal dimensions are selected, the input field for dimensions based on the internal dimensions of the assembled product becomes editable. The input field for dimensions based on external dimensions may be disabled or not displayed on the input screen 54.
[0048] In step S6, the user terminal 1 displays a sample image 53 of the assembled product selected by the user and its input screen 54 on the display unit 12, based on the sample information and input screen information from the server 3. Figure 6 is an example of the display unit 12 with the sample image 53 and input screen 54 displayed.
[0049] In step S7, the user enters dimensions into each input field 541 of the input screen 54. The user also selects a desired material from the materials displayed on the input screen 54 via the input unit 13. For example, the material is selected from a pull-down menu. The user terminal 1 then sends information about each input value entered into the input field 541 and the selected material to the server 3. In step S8, the server 3 receives the input value information and material information.
[0050] In step S9, the modification unit 333 of the server 3 modifies the shape of the sample image 53 based on these input values. The modification unit 333 then displays the modified sample image 53 on the user terminal 1. In step S10, the user terminal 1 displays the modified sample on the display unit 12. The display unit 12 displays both the input screen 54 and the modified sample 53. In this way, the sample image 53 modified based on the input values is displayed, allowing the user to intuitively design the assembled product.
[0051] In step S11, when the user presses the material layout button displayed on the input screen 54, the user terminal 1 sends a material layout creation request to the server 3. In step S12, the server 3 receives the material layout creation request.
[0052] In step S13, the material layout diagram generation unit 334 of server 3 generates a material layout diagram based on the input values entered by the user. The material layout diagram generation unit 334 then displays the material layout diagram on user terminal 1. In step S14, user terminal 1 displays the material layout diagram on display unit 12. Figure 8 shows an example of a material layout diagram displayed on display unit 12.
[0053] The material cutting diagram generation unit 334 generates a material cutting diagram so that each component can be efficiently obtained from a single material. The material cutting diagram generation unit 334 places the components in order of length. First, the longest component is placed in the upper left of the material cutting diagram, and then it is determined whether the subsequent components can be placed below the already placed components. If possible, they are placed below the already placed components. If not possible, it is determined whether they can be placed to the right of the already placed components. If possible, they are placed to the right of the already placed components. If not possible, a new material cutting diagram is generated and the component is placed in the upper left of that diagram. The above process is performed for each component.
[0054] For example, if you want members 1a to 1e with the shapes shown in Figure 7, the material layout diagram generation unit 334 will determine the placement of each member in the order of members 1a to 1e and generate a material layout diagram, as will be explained below. As shown in Figure 8, the material layout diagram generation unit 334 places the longest member 1a in the upper left of the base 10a of the material layout diagram. Next, the material layout diagram generation unit 334 determines whether member 1b can be placed below the already placed member 1a, and if it determines that it can be placed, it places member 1b below member 1a. Subsequently, the material layout diagram generation unit 334 determines whether member 1c can be placed below the already placed member 1b, and if it determines that it cannot be placed there, it determines whether it can be placed to the right of the already placed member 1a. If the material layout diagram generation unit 334 determines that member 1c cannot be placed to the right of the already placed member 1a, it then determines whether member 1c can be placed to the right of the already placed member 1b, and if it determines that it can be placed there, it places member 1c to the right of member 1b.
[0055] Next, the material layout drawing generation unit 334 determines whether member 1d can be placed below the already placed member 1b. If it determines that it cannot be placed, it then determines whether member 1d can be placed to the right of the already placed member 1a. The material layout drawing generation unit 334 determines that it can be placed and places member 1d to the right of member 1a. Finally, the material layout drawing generation unit 334 determines whether material 1e can be placed below the already placed member 1b. If it determines that it cannot be placed, it then determines whether member 1d can be placed to the right of the already placed member 1a. dThe first unit determines whether member 1e can be placed to the right of the already placed member 1c. If the material layout drawing generation unit 334 determines that it cannot be placed, it then determines whether member 1e can be placed to the right of the already placed member 1c. If it determines that it cannot be placed, it generates a new material layout drawing and places member 1e in the upper left corner of its base 10b.
[0056] Furthermore, in step S15, the suggestion unit 335 of the server 3 displays the tools, screws, and fasteners necessary for assembling the product on the user terminal 1. The suggestion unit 335 of the server 3 may also calculate the amount of paint required according to the painting area and display that amount of paint on the user terminal 1. In step S16, the user terminal 1 displays the tools, screws, fasteners, and paint required for assembly on the display unit 12. The painting area may be the sum of the areas of all the components that make up the product, or it may be the sum of the areas to be painted selected by the user. In the latter case, the user can select the areas to be painted from the input screen 54. The suggestion unit 335 of the server 3 accepts the user's selection of areas to be painted and calculates the painting area based on the selected areas.
[0057] The user edits the material cutting diagram displayed on the display unit 12. For example, as shown in Figure 8, the material cutting diagram includes members 1a to 1e. Of these, member 1c is moved to area A indicated by the dashed line, changing the material cutting diagram to the one shown in Figure 9. This makes it possible to secure the scrap material B indicated by the dashed line in Figure 9. In this way, by editing the material cutting diagram, the scrap material after each member has been taken can be made into a desired shape. In step S17, the editing unit 336 of the server 3 accepts the user's editing operation on the material cutting diagram and edits the material cutting diagram. The editing unit 336 then displays the edited material cutting diagram on the user terminal 1. In step S18, the user terminal 1 displays the edited material cutting diagram.
[0058] In step S19, server 3 accepts the user's selection as to whether or not they wish to purchase the materials. If the user has not selected to purchase the materials (No. in step S19), the process is completed in step S28. In this case, the user downloads the material layout drawing as, for example, a PDF file.
[0059] If the user has selected to purchase the components (Yes in step S19), in step S20, the server 3 displays a warning screen on the display unit 12 of the user terminal 1. In step S21, the user terminal 1 displays the warning screen on the display unit 12. This warning screen includes warnings such as the possibility of errors due to cutting, and if the material is wood, the possibility of warping or cracking in the components. The server 3 also generates warnings according to the type of wood and displays them on the user terminal 1. The server 3 may also highlight important warnings.
[0060] In step S22, server 3 displays a payment settlement screen on user terminal 1 and executes the payment settlement process. Once the settlement process is complete, in step S23, server 3 transmits information regarding the material cutting diagram to the processing company terminal 2.
[0061] In step S24, the processing terminal 2 displays a material cutting diagram on its display. The processing company cuts the material based on the material cutting diagram displayed on its display. In step S25, when the processing company inputs that the cutting process is complete, the processing terminal 2 sends a notification to the server 3 that the cutting process is complete. In step S26, the server 3 receives information from the processing terminal 2. of A notification that the cutting process is complete is sent to the user terminal 1. In step S27, the user operates the user terminal 1, and the notification that the cutting process is complete is displayed on the display unit 12. After the user confirms the notification that the cutting process is complete, the user goes to the processing company (e.g., a home improvement store) to pick up the material. Alternatively, the processing company may deliver the material to the user instead of the user picking it up.
[0062] [Differentiation] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention. Furthermore, the following modifications can basically be applied simultaneously.
[0063] (a) The control unit 33 of the server 3 may further perform the function of an alert generation unit. The alert generation unit warns the user that deflection may occur. Specifically, in step S9 above, the alert generation unit may display an alert on the user terminal 1 in addition to the corrected sample. The alert generation unit of the server 3 determines whether or not to generate an alert based on the input values and material entered by the user. For example, if it determines that deflection may occur in the bookshelf shelf based on the input thickness, length, and material, the alert generation unit generates an alert and sends it to the user terminal. The user terminal 1 then displays the alert on its display unit. The alert generation unit may also consider the weight placed on the shelf and, if it determines that deflection may occur, generate an alert and send it to the user terminal 1.
[0064] (b) In the above embodiment, it was described as a web application, but it may also be a native application. That is, the processing on server 3 may be executed on user terminal 1. In this case, the user terminal 1 performs the processing of steps S1 to S23 and step S27 described above. Alternatively, it may be a hybrid application. That is, a part of the processing by server 3 described above may be executed by user terminal 1.
[0065] (c) The control unit 33 of the server 3 may further perform the function of an input value correction unit. The input value correction unit may correct the input values entered in each input field 541 based on the scrap material in the material cutting diagram. For example, as shown in Figure 12, the user operates the user terminal 1 to set an area C in the material cutting diagram that they want to reserve as scrap material. The input value correction unit accepts this setting operation by the user. The input value correction unit then determines whether or not it is necessary to correct the input values in order to reserve this area C. If the input value correction unit determines that it is necessary to correct the input values, it corrects the input values of members 1b and 1c, for example, to make the members 1b and 1c smaller so that this area C can be reserved. In addition, if it is desired to fit a material that spans two sheets into one sheet, the input value correction unit may correct the input values of each member so that the material fits into one sheet, and position member 1e in the material cutting diagram where the other members 1a to 1d are arranged.
[0066] Furthermore, the input value correction unit accepts user requests regarding corrections. For example, on an input screen, checkboxes are displayed in each input field. If these checkboxes are checked, the input value correction unit accepts the user's request to either not correct (or to correct) that input value. The input value correction unit then responds to this request by not correcting input values that the user does not want corrected, and correcting the other input values.
[0067] (d) Server 3 may send a manual to user terminal 1 regarding the method of assembling the product selected by the user. Server 3 may also calculate the total weight of each component required to assemble the product and notify user terminal 1 of that total weight. [Explanation of Symbols]
