Description

A furniture design method for adaptively modifying the dimension information of furniture based on the user's actual measurement information, and a furniture design system for performing the same.

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a furniture design method for adaptively modifying dimensional information of furniture based on a user's actual measurement information, and a furniture design system that performs the same.

[0002] Interior architectural design, commonly referred to as "interior design," "furniture design," or "interior," refers to the design of interior spaces. It encompasses the planning and design of buildings and their furniture, tailored to their intended purpose and use. The challenge with interior architectural design lies in the need to select the most appropriate design for the actual structure and implement a suitable interior layout. However, most designs are undertaken for unbuilt or unconfirmed spaces, leaving insufficient information for the design process.

[0003] Meanwhile, a digital twin is a technology that creates a computerized replica of a real-world object and simulates potential real-world situations to predict outcomes. This digital twin is attracting attention as a technology that can solve problems not only in manufacturing but also in various industries and societies. Fundamentally, it is a combination of data and information that represents the structure, context, and operation of various physical systems, providing an interface for understanding past and present operational conditions and predicting the future.

[0004] Accordingly, ongoing efforts have been made to address issues in interior architectural design, such as furniture, through the integration of digital twins. However, the inconsistency between actual data and interior architectural design data has led to various problems during construction. Consequently, ongoing efforts have been made to ensure alignment between actual data and digital twin data.

[0005] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a furniture design method that adaptively modifies dimensional information of furniture based on actual measurement information in the design of furniture and the like.

[0011] In one embodiment, the step of modifying the dimensional information so that the water valve is arranged in the third lower part may include: obtaining a fourth distance between a first side of the third lower part and the first wall and a fifth distance between a second side of the third lower part and the first wall from the database; determining whether the third distance is a value between the fourth distance and the fifth distance; and modifying at least one of the fourth distance and the fifth distance so that the third distance is a value between the fourth distance and the fifth distance.

[0012] In one embodiment, the measured information is distance information from a first wall to a window, and the step of modifying the dimension information may include: a step of determining a second upper cabinet that overlaps the window among the target furniture based on the distance information and the dimension information; and a step of modifying the dimension information so that the second upper cabinet does not block the window based on the position information of the window.

[0013] In one embodiment, the distance information from the first wall to the window includes a sixth distance between a first side of the window and the first wall and a seventh distance between a second side of the window and the first wall, and the step of determining a second upper cabinet overlapping the window among the target furniture based on the distance information and the dimensional information may include the steps of: obtaining a shortest distance and a longest distance to the first wall for each of a plurality of upper cabinets among the target furniture from the database; determining an upper cabinet among the plurality of upper cabinets, the shortest distance being shorter than the sixth distance and the longest distance being longer than the seventh distance; and determining the determined upper cabinet as the second upper cabinet.

[0014] In one embodiment, the step of modifying the dimension information so that the second upper section does not block the window based on the position information of the window may include the step of obtaining an eighth distance from the ceiling to the top of the window from the user terminal; and the step of modifying the dimension information so that the height of the second upper section is shorter than the eighth distance.

[0039] Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0040] Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and the attached drawings.

[0041] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a furniture design system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 1, the furniture design system (10) may refer to a system that provides a blueprint (BP) that matches the actual size by modifying the dimensional information in the database based on the actual measurement information (IM) received from the user terminal (200). In the present specification, the dimensional information may represent various size information required to create a blueprint of furniture or space, and the actual measurement information (IM) may represent dimensional information that requires modification based on the actual measurement provided to the user terminal (200). In addition, the database may store actual dimensional information of actual furniture, actual space, etc. (e.g., a blueprint of an actual apartment, a blueprint of actual furniture), and may be stored in the memory of the management server (100) or stored externally to the management server (100). The blueprint (BP) may represent a 2D or 3D drawing required for designing furniture, and may include various drawings such as a development view, a perspective view, a 3D view, a floor plan, etc. of the furniture.

[0043] To this end, the furniture design system (10) may include a management server (100) and a user terminal (200). The management server (100) may collectively refer to a server that performs a furniture design method and an operating computer that operates the server. In one embodiment, the management server (100) may perform the furniture design method using an application program such as a website or an application, and the operation performed by the management server (100) or a component included in the management server (100) in this specification may actually be an operation performed by the processor of the management server (100) using an application program built into a storage device of the management server (100).

[0044] The storage device may include non-volatile memory, volatile memory, flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid-state drive (SSD). In addition, the processor may include at least one of a central processing unit (CPU), a graphic processing unit (GPU), a neural processing unit (NPU), random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), a system bus, and an application processor.

[0045] The management server (100) can be connected to various devices (e.g., user terminals (200)) through a wired or wireless communication network, and the management server (100) can operate as a communication hub for various terminals. The user terminal (200) may refer to a terminal operated by a user who wishes to obtain 2D or 3D blueprint (BP) information based on actual measurement information (IM), and may be configured as any one of a laptop, a personal computer (PC), a navigation system, a personal communication system (PCS), a global system for mobile communications (GSM), a personal digital cellular system (PDC), a personal handyphone system (PHS), a personal digital assistant (PDA), an international mobile telecommunication (IMT)-2000, a code division multiple access (CDMA)-2000, a W-CDMA (W-Code Division Multiple Access), a wireless broadband internet (Wibro) terminal, a smart pad, a tablet PC, a cellular phone, and a smart phone.

[0046] The management server (100) can obtain information on the target furniture that is the object of the blueprint (BP) from the user terminal (200), and additionally obtain actual measurement information (IM) on the target furniture. The management server (100) can modify the dimensional information of the target furniture based on the actual measurement information (IM), and generate the blueprint (BP) based on the modified dimensional information.

[0047] To this end, the management server (100) may include a measurement information acquisition unit (110), a dimension information acquisition unit (120), and a design drawing generation unit (130). The dimension information acquisition unit (110) may acquire dimension information of the target furniture from a database based on information of the target furniture. In one example, the dimension information acquisition unit (110) may acquire address information for an apartment including the target furniture from a user terminal (200), and may acquire dimension information of the target furniture pre-stored in a database using the acquired address. In another example, the dimension information acquisition unit (110) may acquire dimension information by receiving all dimensions (e.g., number of cabinets, width, height, depth, distance to a wall, etc.) required for designing the target furniture from the user terminal (200). In another example, the dimension information acquisition unit (110) may receive an identifier (e.g., manufacturer and model name) that can identify the target furniture from the user terminal (200), and may acquire dimension information of the target furniture using the identifier from the database.

[0048] The dimension information modifying unit (120) can modify the dimension information using the actual measurement information (IM). In one example, the dimension information modifying unit (120) receives dimensions directly related to the target furniture as the actual measurement information (IM) (e.g., height, width, depth, distance to a wall, number of pieces of the target furniture, etc.) and can use these to modify the dimension information for the target furniture. In another example, the dimension information modifying unit (120) obtains dimensions not directly related to the target furniture (e.g., distance from a hood, distance from a water valve, window location) as the actual measurement information (IM) and can use these to modify the dimension information for the target furniture.

[0049] The blueprint generation unit (130) can generate a blueprint by modeling the target furniture using the modified dimensional information. In one example, the blueprint generation unit (130) can check whether the user specifies 2D / 3D and generate a 2D or 3D blueprint accordingly.

[0050] According to the technical idea of ​​the present disclosure, a design drawing of furniture that matches the space in which the furniture is actually to be placed can be generated by adaptively modifying dimensional information about the target furniture using the actual measurement information (IM) acquired from the user terminal (200) by the management server (100).

[0051] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 2, the management server (100) may receive information about a target household from a user terminal (200) (S10). In one example, the management server (100) may receive information about public housing, and in another example, may receive information about a household model, etc. Based on the information about the target household, the management server (100) may obtain dimensional information about the target household from a database (S20). In one example, the dimensional information may include various information such as distance to a wall, distance from the ceiling, distance from the floor, height, width, and depth.

[0053] The management server (100) can receive actual measurement information (IM) from the user terminal (200) (S30). The management server (100) can modify dimensional information to match the actual measurement based on the actual measurement information (IM) (S40). The management server (100) can generate a blueprint (BP) for the target furniture based on the modified dimensional information (S50).

[0054] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 3 illustrates the dimensional information modification step (S40) of FIG. 2 in detail.

[0055] Referring to FIG. 3, the management server (100) can modify the dimensional information for the upper and lower cabinets based on the distance from the reference wall to the center of the hood (S410). The management server (100) can modify the dimensional information for the lower cabinet based on the distance from the reference wall to the water valve (S420). In this specification, the water valve may refer to a valve installed at the end of a water pipe and may be referred to as an angle valve, a water angle valve, etc. The management server (100) can modify the dimensional information for the upper cabinet based on the position information of the window (S430). In this specification, the reference wall may refer to a wall located on one side of the furniture for which the dimensional information is to be modified.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the management server (100) can modify the dimensional information of the furniture based on actual measurement information on elements other than the furniture, such as the distance to the center of the hood, the distance to the water valve, and the location of the window, and as a result, the target furniture can be designed based on the dimensional information suitable for the space in which the furniture is to be located.

[0057] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 4 illustrates a step (S410) of modifying dimensional information of the upper and lower cabinets based on the distance to the center of the hood in FIG. 3.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 4, the management server (100) may determine a first upper cabinet based on a first distance from the reference wall to the center of the hood (S411). The first upper cabinet may refer to a cabinet among kitchen furniture in which the hood is located, and the management server (100) may determine an upper cabinet located at a first distance from the reference wall as the first upper cabinet.

[0059] The management server (100) can determine the first sub-floor based on the first distance (S412). The first sub-floor may refer to a section of kitchen furniture where heating appliances (e.g., gas ranges, induction cooktops, etc.) are placed. The management server (100) can determine the sub-floor placed at the first distance from the reference wall as the first sub-floor.

[0060] The management server (100) can modify the dimensional information so that the center of the first upper section and the center of the first lower section are aligned (S413). In one example, the management server (100) can adjust the position of the first lower section so that the centers of the first upper section and the first lower section are aligned.

[0061] Depending on the installation conditions of the exhaust pipe, the distance between the hood and the reference wall is generally fixed, and a heating device must be located under the hood so that pollutant gases generated by the heating device can be exhausted by the hood. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the management server (100) obtains actual measurement information about the distance to the center of the hood, and based on this, adjusts the dimension information of the lower part, thereby adaptively modifying the dimensions of the target furniture so that the heating device can be placed under the hood, and as a result, the target furniture can be designed so that exhaust can be performed smoothly.

[0062] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 5 details a step (S413) of modifying dimensional information so that the center of the first upper section and the center of the first lower section of FIG. 4 are aligned.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 5, the management server (100) can obtain the second distance between the center of the first lower section and the reference wall from the database (S4131). The management server (100) can obtain the horizontal length (or width) of the second lower section located between the first lower section and the reference wall (S4132). The management server (100) can increase or decrease the horizontal length of the second lower section based on the difference between the first distance and the second distance so that the center of the first lower section and the center of the first upper section are aligned (S4133).

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the management server (100) can easily align the center of the first upper section and the center of the second lower section without controlling other dimensions by modifying the horizontal length of the second lower section to adjust the position of the first lower section based on the second distance obtained from the database.

[0065] FIG. 6 shows a design drawing designed according to a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 6, the management server (100) can receive a first distance (d1), which is the distance from the center of the hood to the reference wall (W1), as actual measurement information from the user terminal (200). The management server (100) can determine the upper section positioned at the first distance (d1) as the first upper section (FNu1), and can determine the lower section positioned at the first distance (d1) as the first lower section (FN11).

[0067] The management server (100) can obtain the second distance (d2) between the first lower section (FN11) and the reference wall (W1) from the database, and can obtain the width (dw) of the second lower section (FN12) located between the first lower section (FN11) and the reference wall (W1). The management server (100) can make the first distance (d1) equal to the second distance (d2) by reducing or increasing the width (dw) of the second lower section (FN12) by the difference (d1-d2) between the first distance (d1) and the second distance (d2), and as a result, the center of the first upper section (FNu1) and the center of the first lower section (FN11) can be aligned.

[0068] Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, Fig. 7 details another embodiment (S410a) of a step of modifying dimensional information of the upper and lower cabinets based on the distance to the center of the hood of Fig. 3. Steps S411a to S413a are identical or similar to S411 to S413 of Fig. 4, and therefore, their descriptions are omitted.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 7, the management server (100) can obtain the horizontal lengths of the first upper section and the second lower section from the database (S414a). The management server (100) checks whether the horizontal length of the first lower section is greater than the horizontal length of the first upper section, and if the horizontal length of the first lower section is greater than the horizontal length of the first upper section, the management server (100) can modify the horizontal length of the first lower section so that the horizontal length of the first lower section is less than or equal to the horizontal length of the first upper section.

[0070] To effectively absorb smoke from a heating device, the size of the hood (e.g., the first upper hood) may need to be designed to be larger than the range hood (e.g., the first lower hood). According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the management server (100) can design the hood to be smaller in width than the first upper hood, thereby ensuring that smoke is effectively exhausted.

[0071] FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 8 details a step (S420) of modifying the dimensional information of a lower part based on the distance to the water valve of FIG. 3.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 8, the management server (100) receives the third distance to the water valve as actual measurement information (IM) from the user terminal and can determine the third lower cabinet where the sink bowl is placed among the target furniture (S421). The management server (100) can modify the dimensional information based on whether the water valve is placed in the third lower cabinet, thereby modifying the location of the water valve in the third lower cabinet (S422).

[0073] Depending on the installation conditions of the water pipe, the distance between the water valve and the reference wall is generally fixed, and as the location of the water pipe is fixed, the location of the water valve also has to be fixed. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the management server (100) obtains actual measurement information on the location of the water valve, and based on this, adjusts the dimensional information of the lower cabinet where the sink bowl is placed, thereby adaptively modifying the dimensions of the target furniture so that the water valve can be aligned with the sink bowl, and as a result, the target furniture can be designed so that the water discharged from the water valve can be smoothly drained.

[0074] FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 9 illustrates a step (S422) of modifying dimensional information so that a water valve is positioned in the third sub-chamber of FIG. 8.

[0075] Referring to FIG. 9, the management server (100) can obtain a fourth distance between the first side of the third sub-chamber and the reference wall from the database, and a fifth distance between the second side of the third sub-chamber and the reference wall (S4221). In one example, the first side may represent the left side of the third sub-chamber where the sink ball is located, and the second side may represent the right side of the third sub-chamber where the sink ball is located. The management server (100) can check whether the third distance is a value between the fourth distance and the fifth distance (S4222).

[0076] The management server (100) can modify at least one of the fourth distance and the fifth distance so that the third distance has a value between the fourth distance and the fifth distance (S4223). In the example where the fourth distance is shorter than the fifth distance, if the third distance is shorter than the fourth distance, the management server (100) can modify the fourth distance to be shorter than the third distance, and if the third distance is longer than the fifth distance, the management server (100) can modify the fifth distance to be longer than the third distance.

[0077] In one embodiment, the management server (100) can modify the numerical information in a manner that enlarges the sink bowl by modifying only one of the fourth and fifth distances, and can modify the numerical information in a manner that moves the position of the sink bowl by modifying both the fourth and fifth distances by the same value. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a design drawing suitable for each furniture characteristic can be produced by modifying the sink bowl in various ways according to the position of the water valve.

[0078] In one embodiment, the management server (100) can modify the fourth and fifth distances so that the third and fourth distances differ by a predetermined margin, and the third and fifth distances differ by a predetermined margin. If a certain margin is not secured from the water valve, water discharged from the water valve may splash out of the sink. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, by securing a certain margin between the third, fourth, and fifth distances, water discharged from the water valve located at the third distance may not splash out of the sink.

[0079] FIG. 10 shows a design drawing designed according to a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0080] Referring to FIG. 10, the management server (100) can receive the third distance (d3), which is the distance from the water valve (wt) to the reference wall (W2), as actual measurement information from the user terminal (200).
