Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a space design virtualization system capable of reflecting thermal insulation performance.

[0002] Specifically, the present invention relates to a space design virtualization system capable of reflecting thermal insulation performance, which provides a virtual environment to enable space design when an operator performing space design, such as interior design, and their customer perform their work, and applies weights for thermal insulation according to established standards in the virtual environment, thereby enabling the prediction of thermal insulation performance that may occur upon completion of space design. Background Technology

[0004] Space design is a relatively new concept of design that crosses the boundaries between traditional design fields such as architecture, landscape architecture, landscape design, interior design, urban design, and service design, as well as specific public art fields.

[0006] Conventionally, in order for clients in homes, offices, and other commercial facilities to design a specific space, the client and the designer meet in person to exchange opinions and design a space with the shape and color desired by the client. However, since the work is carried out without simulating the space after it is actually designed and the client cannot participate in the design directly or indirectly, it is difficult to reflect the client's opinions, leading to frequent trial and error and resulting in time and economic losses for both the client and the designer.

[0007] Another related prior art has the problem that there is no suitable internet site to find wallpaper design models or props that clients want and that would suit the space they intend to design, so they explain to the designer with limited materials or select designs and props based on fragmentary information provided by the designer, resulting in some differences from the wallpaper designs and props desired by the clients, or making it difficult to achieve optimal colors, locations, sizes, and shapes.

[0009] In this regard, Registered Patent Publication No. 10-2627444 describes a system for providing 3D modeling of pop-up store space design.

[0010] The above technology relates to a system for providing 3D modeling for pop-up store space design, and specifically, to a system for providing 3D modeling to propose interiors, structures, etc., that match the pop-up store concept.

[0012] In addition, Published Patent Application No. 10-2025-0138939 describes a spatial design matching system.

[0013] The above technology relates to an online matching platform for space design projects. When a customer registers their requirements, the system analyzes them and matches them with the optimal space designer or company, thereby efficiently facilitating the matching process between the customer and the expert and reducing time and costs.

[0015] In addition, Published Patent Application No. 10-2021-0019361 describes an AR and VR spatial design system.

[0016] The above technology relates to an AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) space design system, in which a client captures a specific space where wallpaper design is desired using a digital camera and uploads it to the main server of the AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) space design system via a computer, and then graphically renders the space in two or three dimensions to be as similar as possible to the space while considering the client's opinion, and enables communication between the designer and the client using this so that the design can be created while actively reflecting one's own opinion.

[0017] More specifically, the main server of the AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) space design system according to the present invention is equipped with a database that stores various materials and props, designed spaces preferred by clients, and video files uploaded or transmitted by clients; means for displaying a space virtually designed by a designer to the client as an AR or VR image using said database; means and design tools that allow the client to participate directly or indirectly in wallpaper design through conversation with the designer or file transmission; and the implementation of an AR and VR space design system and method that terminates the wallpaper design when the client is satisfied through the exchange of opinions with the designer and modification work via file transmission, thereby saving time for both the client and the designer, significantly reducing economic losses due to trial and error, and ensuring that the client's requirements are reflected to the maximum extent in the wallpaper design.

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0040] Terms and words used in this specification and claims should not be interpreted as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted in a meaning and concept consistent with the technical spirit of the invention, based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of the terms to best describe his invention.

[0042] Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings are merely the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention; thus, it should be understood that various equivalents and modifications that can replace them may exist at the time of filing this application.

[0044] Before proceeding with the following description with reference to the drawings, it should be noted that matters not necessary to reveal the gist of the invention, namely known configurations that a person skilled in the art with ordinary knowledge can obviously add, have not been illustrated or specifically described.

[0046] The present invention relates to a space design virtualization system capable of reflecting thermal insulation performance.

[0047] Specifically, the present invention relates to a space design virtualization system capable of reflecting thermal insulation performance, which provides a virtual environment to enable space design when an operator performing space design, such as interior design, and their customer perform their work, and applies weights for thermal insulation according to established standards in the virtual environment, thereby enabling the prediction of thermal insulation performance that may occur upon completion of space design.

[0048] In this case, the weighting factor for the thermal insulation mentioned above refers to a value numerically set by the operator representing the extent to which a structure can influence the thermal insulation evaluation.

[0050] A spatial design virtualization system capable of reflecting thermal insulation performance according to the present invention will be explained through the attached drawings.

[0051] FIG. 1 shows a space design virtualization system capable of reflecting thermal insulation performance according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the configuration of a server of a space design virtualization system capable of reflecting thermal insulation performance according to the present invention.

[0053] First, the space design virtualization system capable of reflecting thermal insulation performance according to the present invention enables each terminal to access and function in a Web or App environment through a physical or virtual server.

[0054] At this time, the terminals can be classified into the operator's terminals and the customer's terminals, and this classification can be performed based on login information.

[0056] That is, the operator and the customer can access the server through a terminal to confirm the design draft for the space design, and such a server is configured as shown in Fig. 2 of the attached drawings.

[0057] The above server includes a virtual environment linkage unit that enables the provision of an interface in a virtual environment through a terminal connected to the server.

[0058] In this context, the term "terminal" includes existing desktops, laptops, smart devices, etc., as well as all devices intended to be linked to a virtual environment based on AR or VR.

[0059] In other words, the above-mentioned virtual environment linkage unit should be interpreted to mean that it includes all configurations that can be derived by a person of ordinary skill with specialized knowledge of virtual environments such as AR or VR.

[0060] In other words, the virtual environment linkage unit described above may include not only conventional configurations such as interfaces for providing a virtual environment, but also all functions for implementing the functions described in the present invention. For example, assuming there is drawing information or modeling information regarding a specific space that is the subject of spatial design, it may include a function to construct a space in a virtual environment based on said information, and even a function to provide an interface for arranging structures in said space.

[0061] Regarding this, since Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology has been widely publicized in the past, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0063] In addition, the server further includes a mapping unit that diagrams and maps the space where space design is to be performed in the environment of the virtual environment provided through the virtual environment linkage unit.

[0064] This mapping section utilizes 2D drawing information or 3D modeling information to construct the shape of the actual space and diagrams the space by reducing it to a certain ratio.

[0066] Additionally, the server may further include a placement unit. The placement unit provides an interface that enables the placement of a specific structure in a space mapped through the mapping unit.

[0067] At this time, the above-mentioned arrangement unit can receive structural information through a database, and the structural information stored in the database refers to information based on an actual structure produced as 2D drawing information or 3D modeling information.

[0068] In this case, the database can be managed to store information based on the actual size when storing information related to the actual structure.

[0069] In addition, the above-mentioned placement unit may further include an interface that can correct the ratio of the structure according to the ratio of the space reduced through the above-mentioned mapping unit when receiving structure information through the database.

[0071] For an example of a space mapped through such a mapping section and a structure placed in such a space, refer to Fig. 3 of the attached drawings.

[0072] FIG. 3 shows an example of performing placement through a placement unit in an area mapped through a mapping unit of a space design virtualization system capable of reflecting heat insulation performance according to the present invention.

[0074] Meanwhile, the above server may further include a thermal insulation evaluation unit that evaluates the thermal insulation performance of a structure placed through the placement unit in a space mapped through the mapping unit.

[0075] In order to evaluate the thermal insulation performance in this thermal insulation evaluation unit, the thermal insulation performance for each structure is pre-set to a value of 1, and a weight for thermal insulation is set for each structure. Then, the weights are summed from a value of 1, and the average value for the number of structures is calculated to evaluate the final thermal insulation performance.

[0076] To this end, the server may further include a weight setting unit that provides an interface for setting a weight for thermal insulation in a structure.

[0077] Additionally, the server further includes an actual thermal insulation information input unit; wherein the actual thermal insulation information input unit provides an interface for inputting result information of actually performing thermal insulation performance in a space designed according to the present invention.

[0078] At this time, the operator can reset the weights for thermal insulation for each structure through the weight setting unit using the result information of the actual evaluation.

[0079] For example, assuming that the thermal insulation performance evaluated through the thermal insulation evaluation unit of the present invention is B, and the result of evaluating the actual thermal insulation performance is A, the weight for thermal insulation for each structure is reset so that a similar value can be obtained when mapping and placement are performed for other space designs thereafter.

[0081] At this time, as described above, a weight for thermal insulation can be set for each structure.

[0082] Going a step further, additional weights based on the location of the structure can be set.

[0083] To elaborate, the space mapped through the above mapping unit is configured to be divided into specific areas.

[0084] In addition, the length value 'a' for each divided region is secured in advance. At this time, the length value 'a' can be easily calculated because the total length of the space and the number of divisions are known.

[0085] And the above structure includes a window. Then, based on the position where the window is placed in the space, the distance from one end of the structure designated as the window to the other end of the structure is calculated, and a lower weight is set as the distance increases.

[0087] This is further explained through Figure 4 of the attached drawings.

[0088] Figure 4 shows an example of applying weights after performing placement through a placement unit on an area mapped through a mapping unit of a space design virtualization system capable of reflecting heat insulation performance according to the present invention.

[0089] In other words, assuming there are two structures, and assuming the distances from the end of the window to the structure are d1 and d2, the weight is set higher because the distance to d2 is shorter than that to d1.

[0091] To do this, each divided area can be divided into multiple parts, for example, if it is divided into 10 parts, the distance value is calculated as 1 / 10 of a.

[0092] Accordingly, distance calculation is possible even if windows or other structures are not positioned perfectly aligned within the divided area.

[0094] As another example, when performing space design, weights can be set based on the color of the exterior walls or wallpaper used when the space is a building. In this case, the range of weights may be such that colors specialized in heat insulation receive a high weight, while lighter colors receive a lower weight.

[0096] According to the space design virtualization system capable of reflecting thermal insulation performance according to the present invention, configured as described above, a virtual environment is provided to enable space design when an operator performing space design, such as interior design, and their customer perform their work, and by applying weights for thermal insulation according to a set standard in the virtual environment, it is possible to predict the thermal insulation performance that may occur upon completion of space design.

[0098] The description above using the drawings describes only the main aspects of the present invention, and it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the drawings, as various designs are possible within the technical scope.
