Description

Material placement method and device

[0001] The present invention relates to a material placement method and apparatus, and more specifically, to a material placement method and apparatus for placing a material image corresponding to a material on a plate.

[0002] To manufacture materials such as metal that constitute frames like window and door frames into folded shapes, a procedure is required to cut the material, spread out from a large sheet, into appropriate sizes and shapes. To perform this cutting operation, a preliminary step involves placing images of the materials onto the sheet using software. By facilitating the optimal placement of materials, the software contributes to increasing the material utilization rate of the sheet and minimizing waste.

[0003] In this regard, Registered Patent Publication No. 10-1717481 discloses a "method for cutting interior materials using a mobile terminal." This technology operates by automatically and optimally arranging material images onto a base plate through an algorithm. While this method helps increase efficiency, it has the drawback that the user cannot intervene in the arrangement process. Furthermore, since the automatic arrangement algorithm does not necessarily match the user's intent, there is a problem in that the arrangement of materials cannot be modified or adjusted as desired by the user.

[0004] To resolve these issues, a feature that allows users to directly intervene in the material placement process is necessary. In other words, placement operations that reflect the user's intentions must be possible by providing functions that allow users to arbitrarily modify automatically placed material images or reset the placement according to specific criteria.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing, in an embodiment of the present invention, a unit material image (50) is moved from a first plate (10), which is one of a plurality of attribute plates (100), to a second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200).FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the state in which, in an embodiment of the present invention, a unit material image (50) moves from a first plate (10), which is one of a plurality of attribute plates (100), to a second plate (20), which is another of a plurality of attribute plates (100). FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a material placement device or electronic device (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] The material placement method according to an embodiment of the present invention can place unit material images (50) by moving them onto a disc.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 1, a material placement method according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a placement step (S100) of automatically placing a plurality of unit material images (50) corresponding to a plurality of unit materials on a material list onto at least one attribute plate (100); a plate creation step (S200) of creating a blank plate (200) without attributes based on user input; a first material movement step (S300) of moving a unit material image (50) of a first plate (10), which is an attribute plate (100), to a second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), based on user input; and an attribute assignment step (S400) of assigning the same attribute (AT) as the first plate (10) to the second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), thereby converting the blank plate (200) into an attribute plate (100).

[0044] A material placement method according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a second material movement step (S500) of moving a unit material image (50) of a first plate (10), which is one of a plurality of attribute plates (100), to a second plate (20), which is another of a plurality of attribute plates (100), based on user input. At this time, the attribute plates (100) may be multiple.

[0045] The material placement method can be performed by the control unit (1100) of the material placement device, and can display the attribute plate (100), blank plate (200), unit material image (50), and attribute (AT) by the output unit (1400).

[0046] Referring to FIG. 2, a bar (BAR) constituting a frame (FR), such as a window frame or door frame, can be manufactured by processing a material, such as metal, into a bent shape. The unfolded material can be joined together in a bent shape through a bending operation to form a frame (FR), such as a window frame or door frame. At this time, a door or window can be attached to the frame (FR).

[0047] The unfolded material can be manufactured by cutting from the original plate before the folding operation is performed. At this time, the unfolded material can be placed on the original plate and cut in correspondence with each unit material image (50).

[0048] First, a placement step (S100) of automatically placing multiple unit material images (50) corresponding to multiple materials on a material list onto at least one attribute plate (100) can be performed by a control unit (1100).

[0049] Referring to FIG. 3, the material list may mean a list of materials to be ordered by the orderer. The material list may include at least one of 'number (order)', 'folding drawing name', 'width (material specification (M1))', 'length (material specification (M1))', 'material', 'thickness', and 'quantity'. Multiple unit materials on the material list may each correspond to multiple unit material images (50). Multiple unit material images (50) may be automatically placed on at least one attribute plate (100).

[0050] If multiple unit material images (50) can all be placed on a single disk, they can all be placed on a single disk to create a single attribute disk (100); if multiple unit material images (50) cannot all be placed on a single disk, they can be divided and placed on multiple disks to create multiple attribute disks (100). At this time, the control unit (1100) can arrange the multiple unit material images (50) by optimizing the space using an algorithm so that the loss rate (LS) is minimized.

[0051] The control unit (1100) can display the attribute plate (100) and the unit material image (50) placed on the attribute plate (100) through the output unit (1400) during the placement step (S100).

[0052] Next, a disk generation step (S200) for generating a blank disk (200) of no attributes based on user input may be performed.

[0053] The user can provide a command to the control unit (1100) to perform a material placement method through the input unit (1300). For example, the user can move the unit material image (50) through a mouse and can move the unit material image (50) through a touchscreen.

[0054] Referring to FIG. 4, the attribute disc (100) may mean a disc to which an attribute (AT) is assigned. Here, the attribute (AT) may mean at least one of the thickness (A1), material (A2), disc specifications (A3), and quantity (A4) of the disc. Accordingly, the attribute (AT) may mean at least one of the thickness (A1), material (A2), and quantity (A4) of a unit material corresponding to the unit material image (60) located on the disc.

[0055] The blank plate (200) may refer to a plate without attributes (attributes (AT) assigned). The blank plate (200) may be assigned attributes (AT) when the unit material image (50) that was placed on the attribute plate (100) is moved and placed for the first time. Alternatively, the blank plate (200) may be created with the same dimensions (width (length), height (width), or area) as the largest of the already created attribute plates (100).

[0056] The attribute (AT) can be displayed through the output unit (1400) at a position corresponding to the attribute disc (100). Specifically, the attribute (AT) can be displayed on the top, bottom, left, and right of the attribute disc (100), but is not limited thereto, and can be displayed adjacent to the corresponding attribute disc (100) so as to be recognized as corresponding to the attribute disc (100).

[0057] Meanwhile, the unit material image (50) may include at least one of the material specifications (M1), bend shape (M2), and order number (M3) of the unit material corresponding to the unit material image (50). The material specifications (M1) may refer to the horizontal (or length) and vertical (or width) dimensions of the unit material. The bend shape (M2) may refer to the cross-sectional shape obtained by cutting the bent shape of the material perpendicular to the length direction. The order number (M3) may be a 'number' listed in the material list and may be used to distinguish different unit materials.

[0058] The material placement method according to an embodiment of the present invention can provide convenience to the user by displaying the material specifications (M1) and order number (M3) of the unit material corresponding to the unit material image (50) through the output unit (1400), and can provide the user with an example of the bent shape of the material by displaying the bent shape (M2) of the unit material through the output unit (1400).

[0059] The control unit (1100) can generate a blank plate (200) based on user input.

[0060] The control unit (1100) can display the blank disk (200) generated in the disk generation step (S200) through the output unit (1400).

[0061] Next, a first material transfer step (S300) can be performed by the control unit (1100) to transfer the unit material image (50) of the first plate (10), which is an attribute plate (100), to the second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), based on user input.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 5, the first plate (10) may mean a plate on which a unit material image (50) to be moved is placed. The first plate (10) may be an attribute plate (100), or an attribute plate (100) converted by assigning an attribute (AT) to a blank plate (200). The first plate (10) may not mean a specific plate, but may be a plate on which a unit material image (50) to be moved is already placed.

[0063] The second plate (20) may refer to a plate on which the unit material image (50) to be moved is placed. The second plate (20) may be an attribute plate (100) or a blank plate (200). The second plate (20) may not refer to a specific plate, but may be a plate on which the unit material image (50) to be moved is placed.

[0064] That is, the first disc (10) refers to a disc that serves as the starting point of the path where the unit material image (50) moves, and the second disc (20) refers to a disc that serves as the ending point of the path where the unit material image (50) moves, so that the two can be relative concepts to each other.

[0065] The user can move the unit material image (50) placed on the first plate (10) to the second plate (20) through the input unit (1300). That is, the control unit (1100) can move the unit material image (50) placed on the first plate (10) to the second plate (20) based on the user's input. Here, the user's input may be an action such as mouse drag or touch swipe, but is not limited thereto.

[0066] The control unit (1100) can display the unit material image (50) moving in the first material movement step (S300) through the output unit (1400). The control unit (1100) can display the location where placement is scheduled in the first material movement step (S300) through the output unit (1400). The location where placement is scheduled may be displayed by means such as shading or lines, but is not limited thereto. The control unit (1100) can rotate the unit material image (50) in a vertical direction based on user input in the first material movement step (S300) and the second material movement step (S500).

[0067] Next, an attribute assignment step (S400) can be performed by the control unit (1100) to convert the blank plate (200) into an attribute plate (100) by assigning the same attribute (AT) as the first plate (10) to the second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200).

[0068] Referring to FIG. 6, the control unit (1100) can assign an attribute (AT) to the blank paper plate (200). The control unit (1100) can assign an attribute (AT) to the blank paper plate (200) and convert it into an attribute plate (100).

[0069] The generated blank plate (200) is in an attribute-free state with no attribute (AT) assigned, and when the unit material image (50) is placed for the first time, the attribute (AT) can be automatically assigned. The control unit (1100) can convert the blank plate (200) into an attribute plate (100) by assigning the same attribute (AT) as the first plate (10) to the second plate (20), which is the blank plate (200). Here, the attribute (AT) assigned may be at least one of the thickness (A1), material (A2), plate specifications (A3), and quantity (A4) of the second plate (20), which is the blank plate (200).

[0070] Referring again to FIG. 5, the first plate (10), which is an attribute plate (100), may have an attribute (AT), while the second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), may not have an attribute (AT). In this case, the attribute (AT) of the first plate (10) may have a thickness (A1) of '1.0', a material (A2) of '201 - 8k', a plate size (A3) of '2200*1219', and a quantity (A4) of '1'. Furthermore, the loss rate (LS) may refer to the ratio of the non-occupied image (60), which is an area on the plate where the unit material image (50) is not placed. The non-occupied image (60) may include a non-occupied size (N1) (see FIG. 4).

[0071] The thickness (A1) may be in mm, but may be omitted. The material (A2) is not limited to the method of expression described above. The plate size (A3) may be in mm, but may be omitted. The quantity (A4) may refer to the actual number of plates or materials, independent of the plate displayed as a single image on the output unit (1400).

[0072] Referring again to FIG. 6, the second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), can be converted into an attribute plate (100) having the attribute (AT) of the first plate (10). At this time, the attribute (AT) of the second plate (20) may be the same as that of the first plate (10), with a thickness (A1) of '1.0', a material (A2) of '201 - 8k', a plate size (A3) of '2200*1219', and a quantity (A4) of '1'.

[0073] The material placement method according to an embodiment of the present invention has the effect of providing convenience in placement by temporarily creating a blank plate (200) and temporarily moving the unit material image (50) located on the attribute plate (100). The material placement method has the effect of automatically assigning an attribute (AT) to the blank plate (200) by first moving the unit material image (50) of the first plate (10), which is the attribute plate (100), to the second plate (20), which is the blank plate (200).

[0074] Subsequently (or after the placement step (S100)), a second material movement step (S500) may be performed by the control unit (1100) to move a unit material image (50) of a first plate (10), which is one of the multiple attribute plates (100), to a second plate (20), which is another of the multiple attribute plates (100), based on user input.

[0075] In the placement step (S100) of an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (1100) can automatically place a plurality of unit material images (50) on a plurality of attribute plates (100). The control unit (1100) can move the unit material images (50) of the first plate (10), which is one of the plurality of attribute plates (100), to the second plate (20), which is another of the plurality of attribute plates (100).

[0076] In the placement step (S100) of an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (1100) can automatically place a plurality of unit material images (50) on a single attribute plate (100). The control unit (1100) can move the unit material images (50) of the first plate (10), which is the automatically placed attribute plate (100), to the second plate (20), which is the attribute plate (100) that has been converted from a blank plate (200).

[0077] Even when multiple unit material images (50) are all automatically placed on a single plate, a blank plate (200) converted into an attribute plate (100) is added so that multiple attribute plates (100) can be finally generated. That is, the attribute plate (100) does not distinguish between the initially automatically placed plate and the plate converted from the blank plate (200).

[0078] Meanwhile, the second material movement step (S500) can be performed under the condition that the first plate (10), which is one of the multiple attribute plates (100), and the second plate (20), which is another of the multiple attribute plates (100), have the same attribute (AT).

[0079] The unit material image (50) can only be moved between attribute plates (100) that have the same attribute (AT). However, the unit material image (50) can exceptionally be moved between attribute plates (100) that have different quantities (A4) among the attributes (AT), but this will be described later. In contrast, the unit material image (50) can be moved between the attribute plate (100) and the blank plate (200) regardless of the attribute (AT).

[0080] When the first plate (10) and the second plate (20) have the same attribute (AT), the unit material image (50) of the first plate (10) can be moved to the second plate (20). At this time, the control unit (1100) can display the position scheduled to be placed on the second plate (20) through the output unit (1400).

[0081] Conversely, if the first disc (10) and the second disc (20) have different attributes (AT), the unit material image (50) of the first disc (10) cannot be moved to the second disc (20). In this case, the control unit (1100) does not display the position scheduled to be placed on the second disc (20) through the output unit (1400).

[0082] Referring to FIG. 7, the first plate (10) may mean a plate on which two unit material images (50) to be moved are arranged. The first plate (10) may be an attribute plate (100) having an attribute (AT) of quantity (A4) '2', and may be an attribute plate (100) having an attribute (AT) of quantity (A4) '2' that has been converted by assigning the attribute (AT) of quantity (A4) '2' to a blank plate (200).

[0083] The user can move two overlapping unit material images (50) placed on the first plate (10) to the second plate (20) through the input unit (1300). That is, the control unit (1100) can move two overlapping images placed on the first plate (10) to the second plate (20) based on the user's input.

[0084] The control unit (1100) can display two overlapping unit material images (50) moving in the first material movement step (S300) as a single image through the output unit (1400). The control unit (1100) can display a location scheduled for placement in the first material movement step (S300) as a single image through the output unit (1400).

[0085] Referring to FIG. 8, the control unit (1100) can assign an attribute (AT) of quantity (A4) '2' to the blank paper plate (200). The control unit (1100) can assign an attribute (AT) of quantity (A4) '2' to the blank paper plate (200) and convert it into an attribute plate (100) having an attribute (AT) of quantity (A4) '2'.

[0086] Specifically, the first plate (10), which is an attribute plate (100), may have an attribute (AT), and the second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), may not have an attribute (AT). At this time, the attribute (AT) of the first plate (10) may have a thickness (A1) of '1.0', a material (A2) of '201 - 8k', a plate size (A3) of '2200*1219', and a quantity (A4) of '2'.

[0087] The second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), can be converted into an attribute plate (100) having the attribute (AT) of the first plate (10). At this time, the attribute (AT) of the second plate (20) may be the same as that of the first plate (10), with a thickness (A1) of '1.0', a material (A2) of '201 - 8k', a plate size (A3) of '2200*1219', and a quantity (A4) of '2'.

[0088] The material placement method according to an embodiment of the present invention has the effect of automatically assigning an attribute (AT) with a quantity (A4) to the blank plate (20) by first moving the unit material image (50) of the first plate (10), which is an attribute plate (100) with a quantity (A4), to the second plate (20) which is a blank plate (200) at once.

[0089] Meanwhile, the method of moving multiple unit material images (50) at once from a first plate (10) of attribute (AT) with multiple quantities (A4) to a second plate (20) of attribute (AT) with the same quantity (A4) as the first plate (10) can be similarly applied in the second material moving step (S500).

[0090] Referring to FIG. 9, the first material transfer step (S300) can be selectively performed based on user input in a first method of transferring a unit material image (50) to a second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), as one image or in a second method of transferring (n / k) images when there are n quantities (A4) among the attributes (AT) of the first plate (10), which is an attribute plate (100).

[0091] The first method may refer to a method of moving n unit material images (50) into one image (or overlapping n unit material images (50) into one image) on a second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), when the quantity (A4) among the attributes (AT) of the first plate (10) is n (in FIG. 9, the quantity (A4) is '4'). Here, n is a natural number, and n may be the quantity (A4) among the attributes (AT) assigned to the blank plate (200) (see FIG. 7 and FIG. 8).

[0092] Referring to FIG. 10, the second method may mean a method of moving n unit material images (50) to a second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), into (n / k) images (or overlapping n unit material images (50) into (n / k) images when the quantity (A4) among the attributes (AT) of the first plate (10) is n (in FIG. 9, the quantity (A4) is '4'). Here, n and k are natural numbers, and k may be the quantity (A4) among the attributes (AT) assigned to the blank plate (200).

[0093] If the second disk (20) is a blank disk (200), k can be assigned as any one from 1 to n-1. If the second disk (20) is an attribute disk (100), k can be assigned as any one from 1 to n-1. The second method can be performed under the condition that the remainder of n / k is 0.

[0094] When n=4 and k=2, all four unit material images (50) can be moved. At this time, the four unit material images (50) can be moved to the second disk (20) as two (k) images that are spread out to two (n / k) by overlapping two (k) images.

[0095] In contrast, when n=4 and k=3, the four unit material images (50) cannot be moved. This is because when three of the four unit material images (50) overlap, one unit material image (50) remains, which contradicts the attribute (AT) of the quantity (A4) '3' of the second plate (20).

[0096] Meanwhile, in the attribute assignment step (S400), if the first method is selected in the first material movement step (S300), the quantity (A4) among the attributes (AT) of the second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), is assigned as n, and if the second method is selected in the first material movement step (S300), the quantity (A4) among the attributes (AT) of the second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), is assigned as k.

[0097] When the first material movement step (S300) is performed by the first method, the quantity (A4) among the attributes (AT) of the second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), can be assigned as n. At this time, the n unit material images (50) can be displayed as a single image.

[0098] When the first material movement step (S300) is performed by the second method, the quantity (A4) among the attributes (AT) of the second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200), can be assigned as k. At this time, n unit material images (50) can be displayed as (n / k) images.

[0099] The first method and the second method can be applied in the same way in the second material movement step (S500).

[0100] The material placement method according to an embodiment of the present invention has the effect of providing convenience to the user by overlapping and moving all of the multiple unit material images (50) or overlapping and moving only a part of them when the quantity (A4) among the attributes (AT) is multiple.

[0101] Referring to FIG. 11, a plurality of unit material images (50) can be automatically arranged on a plurality of attribute plates (100), and at least one blank plate (200) can be generated. At this time, the unit material images (50) can be moved from a first plate (10), which is one of the plurality of attribute plates (100), to a second plate (20), which is a blank plate (200).

[0102] Referring to FIG. 12, a plurality of unit material images (50) can be automatically arranged on a plurality of attribute plates (100). At this time, the unit material images (50) can be moved from a first plate (10), which is one of the plurality of attribute plates (100), to a second plate (20), which is another of the plurality of attribute plates (100). As described above, the unit material images (50) can be moved only when the first plate (10) and the second plate (20) have the same attribute (AT). However, exceptionally, the unit material images (50) can be moved when the quantity (A4) of the attribute (AT) of the first plate (10) is greater than the quantity (A4) of the attribute (AT) of the second plate (20), and the remainder is 0 when the quantity (A4) of the first plate (10) is divided by the quantity (A4) of the second plate (20).

[0103] The material placement method according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the user to easily place the unit material image (50) on the plate by moving the unit material image (50) not only between the initially automatically placed attribute plates (100), but also between the initially automatically placed attribute plates (100), the newly created blank plate (200), and the attribute plate (100) to which the blank plate (200) has been switched. The material placement method can provide convenience for the user to place materials by having all the unit material images (50) displayed on a single screen.
