Description

A furniture design method that adaptively modifies design information for furniture based on the form of a kitchen, and a furniture design system that performs the same.

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a furniture design method that adaptively modifies design information based on the shape of a U-shaped kitchen, and a furniture design system that performs the same.

[0002] Interior architectural design refers to the design of interior spaces and is commonly understood as interior design, furniture design, or interior design. It encompasses the process of planning and shaping buildings or the furniture installed within them to suit their respective purposes and uses. The problem with this field lies in the fact that, although it is essential to select the design most suitable for the actual structure and execute an appropriate interior layout, designs are often performed on interiors that have not been actually built or have not been verified. Consequently, designers often fail to obtain sufficient information necessary for the design process.

[0003] Meanwhile, a digital twin refers to a technology that creates a virtual replica of a real-world object on a computer and predicts outcomes by simulating potential real-world scenarios. Such digital twins are attracting attention as a technology capable of solving problems not only in manufacturing but also in various industries and society. Fundamentally, it is a combination of data and information representing the structure, context, and operation of various physical systems, serving as an interface that enables the understanding of past and present operational states and the prediction of the future.

[0004] Therefore, continuous efforts have been made to resolve issues in interior architectural design, such as furniture, through integration with digital twins. However, various problems arose during construction because the actual form did not align with the interior architectural design data during the design process. Consequently, ongoing efforts have been made to ensure that the furniture designed can be accurately applied in reality by aligning the actual form with the digital twin data.

[0005] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a furniture design method for designing a U-shaped kitchen, which adaptively modifies the design information of the furniture based on the kitchen shape and adaptively modifies the design information of the furniture based on actual measurement information.

[0006] A furniture design method for a U-shaped kitchen comprising a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface in sequence, performed by at least one processor according to the technical concept of the present disclosure, may include: a step of determining whether a wall is placed at one end of the first surface where the second surface is not located; a step of placing a gap of a first width at the end of the first surface if a wall is placed at the end of the first surface; a step of placing a gap of a second width shorter than the first width at the end of the first surface if a wall is not placed at the end of the first surface; and a step of placing furniture in the remaining area excluding the placed gap; wherein the first width is at least twice the second width.

[0007] In one embodiment, when a wall is not placed at the end of the first surface, the step of placing a gap of a second width shorter than the first width at the end of the first surface may include the step of placing a gap of a third width at one end of the first surface corresponding to the second surface; wherein the second width is shorter than the third width.

[0008] In one embodiment, when a wall is placed at the end of the first surface, the step of placing a gap of a first width at the end of the first surface may include: a step of obtaining depth information of the wall located at the end of the first surface; and a step of placing a gap of a second width at the end of the first surface if the depth information is less than a reference length.

[0009] In one embodiment, the step of placing furniture in the remaining area excluding the gap placed therein may include: placing furniture on the first surface; placing a gap of a fourth width from the furniture placed on the first surface in the longitudinal direction of the second surface; and placing furniture in the remaining area of ​​the second surface excluding the gap.

[0010] In one embodiment, the step of placing furniture on the first surface may include: obtaining depth information of a wall located at the end of the first surface when a wall is placed at the end of the first surface; determining the size of a sink bowl based on the depth information of the wall; obtaining location information where a distributor is placed on the first surface; and placing a sink bowl of the determined size at a location corresponding to the location information.

[0011] In one embodiment, the step of determining the size of the sink bowl based on the depth information of the wall may include: determining the sink bowl to a first size when the depth information of the wall is greater than or equal to a reference length; and determining the sink bowl to a second size smaller than the first size when the depth information of the wall is less than the reference length.

[0012] In one embodiment, the step of placing a sink bowl of the determined size at a location corresponding to the location information may include: a step of placing a gap from the first surface by an amount excluding a predetermined value from the depth information of the wall; and a step of placing a sink cabinet in which the sink bowl is placed at a location corresponding to the location information of the distributor, taking into account the gap.

[0013] According to the technical concept of the present disclosure, in the furniture design for a U-shaped kitchen, furniture design reflecting the actual shape of the kitchen can be performed by adaptively modifying furniture design information based on the actual shape of the U-shaped kitchen. Consequently, when designing a U-shaped kitchen based on a furniture design drawing on a digital twin, problems where the design does not match due to errors are prevented, and smooth furniture placement based on the design drawing can be performed.

[0030] Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and the accompanying drawings.

[0031] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a furniture design system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 1, the furniture design system (10) may mean a system that provides a design drawing (BP) that matches the actual size by modifying the design information in the database based on actual measurement information (IM) received from the user terminal (200) or shape information of a U-shaped kitchen. In this specification, the design information may represent various size information required to create a design drawing of furniture or a space, and the actual measurement information (IM) may represent various types of data containing the shape of an actual U-shaped kitchen, such as design information or a space design drawing image that needs to be modified by actual measurements provided to the user terminal (200). In one example, the actual measurement information (IM) may include various information regarding the shape of a U-shaped kitchen, such as the presence or absence of a wall and the length of the wall. Additionally, the database may store actual design information such as actual furniture and actual space (e.g., a design drawing of an actual apartment, a design drawing of an actual furniture), and may be stored in the memory of the management server (100) or stored outside the management server (100). The design drawing (BP) may represent 2D or 3D drawings necessary for designing furniture, and may include various drawings such as unfolded drawings, perspective drawings, three-dimensional drawings, and plan drawings of the furniture.

[0033] 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 a furniture design method using an application such as a website or an application, and the operation performed by the management server (100) or the configuration 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 embedded in the storage device of the management server (100).

[0034] The above storage device may include non-volatile memory, volatile memory, flash memory, hard disk drive (HDD), or solid-state drive (SSD), etc. Additionally, the processor may include at least one of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), GPU (Graphic Processing Unit), NPU (Neural Processing Unit), RAM, ROM, system bus, and application processor.

[0035] The management server (100) can be connected to various devices (e.g., user terminal (200)) via 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 information on a 2D or 3D design drawing (BP) based on actual measurement information (IM), and may be configured as any one of a laptop, PC (Personal Computer), navigation, PCS (Personal Communication System), GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), PDC (Personal Digital Cellular), PHS (Personal Handyphone System), PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), IMT (International Mobile Telecommunication)-2000, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)-2000, W-CDMA (W-Code Division Multiple Access), Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet) terminal, smartpad, tablet PC, cellular phone, or smartphone.

[0036] The management server (100) obtains information about a U-shaped kitchen that is the purpose of the design drawing (BP) from the user terminal (200), and additionally obtains actual measurement information (IM) about the U-shaped kitchen. In this specification, a U-shaped kitchen may refer to a kitchen having three consecutive sides, and both ends of the U-shaped kitchen may be configured as a walled type with walls or as an open type without walls. The management server (100) can generate the design drawing (BP) by modifying the design information of the U-shaped kitchen based on the actual measurement information (IM) and arranging furniture based on the modified design information.

[0037] To this end, the management server (100) may include a design information acquisition unit (110), a design information acquisition unit (120), and a design drawing generation unit (130). The design information acquisition unit (110) can acquire design information of a U-shaped kitchen from a database based on information of a U-shaped kitchen. In one example, the design information acquisition unit (110) can acquire address information for an apartment containing a U-shaped kitchen from a user terminal (200), and use the acquired address to acquire design information of a U-shaped kitchen that is pre-stored in a database. In another example, the design information acquisition unit (110) can acquire design information by receiving all dimensions required for the design of a U-shaped kitchen (e.g., width, depth of each side of the U-shaped kitchen, presence or absence of a wall, length of a wall, etc.) from the user terminal (200).

[0038] In another example, the design information acquisition unit (110) receives a design drawing in the form of an image and can recognize the shape of a U-shaped kitchen through image sensing. In one example, the design information acquisition unit (110) can recognize the shape of a U-shaped kitchen using artificial intelligence, and the design information acquisition unit (110) can utilize a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), a Transformer model, ResNet, EfficientNet, YOLO, Vision Transformer, Detection Transformer, Tesseract OCR, Mask R-CNN, etc. as an artificial intelligence model.

[0039] The design information modification unit (120) can modify the design information based on the shape information of the U-shaped kitchen. In one example, the design information modification unit (120) can place a gap where furniture should not be placed based on the presence or absence of a wall in the U-shaped kitchen, the length of the wall, etc., and can place furniture in the U-shaped kitchen considering the gap. In this specification, 'gap' may refer to a space where furniture is not placed for design optimization.

[0040] The design drawing generation unit (130) can generate a design drawing by modeling a U-shaped kitchen using modified design information. In one example, the design drawing generation unit (130) can check whether the user is 2D or 3D and generate a 2D design drawing or a 3D design drawing corresponding to this.

[0041] Typically, custom-made furniture is installed to fit the shape of a U-shaped kitchen. However, a U-shaped kitchen may differ from the blueprints due to reasons such as walls not being right angles or protruding. If construction is carried out based solely on the blueprints despite these differences, the result may not match the actual form, potentially leading to the need for rework.

[0042] According to the technical concept of the present disclosure, a management server (100) places a gap based on shape information of a U-shaped kitchen and places furniture in the remaining area excluding the gap, thereby generating a design that allows the actual furniture to be accurately constructed and the optimal space to be utilized despite the actual shape of various U-shaped kitchens.

[0043] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 2, the management server (100) can receive design information for a U-shaped kitchen from a user terminal (S10). In one example, the management server (100) can receive design information for a U-shaped kitchen from a database based on the address of the furniture received from the user terminal. In another example, the management server (100) can receive a design drawing corresponding to the U-shaped kitchen from the user terminal as design information. In yet another example, the management server (100) can receive dimension information corresponding to the U-shaped kitchen (length, width, presence or absence of walls, length of walls, etc.) from the user terminal as design information.

[0045] The management server (100) can check whether walls are placed at both ends of the U-shaped kitchen based on design information (S20). If walls are placed at the ends, it means that one end of the U-shaped kitchen is blocked by a wall, and if walls are not placed at the ends, it means that one end of the U-shaped kitchen is open and not blocked.

[0046] The management server (100) can place a gap based on whether a wall is placed (S30), and place furniture in the remaining area excluding the gap (S40). In addition, the management server (100) can generate a design drawing for a U-shaped kitchen based on the placed furniture (S50).

[0047] In a U-shaped kitchen where there is a wall at one end, misalignment between the furniture and the actual space may occur during installation. For example, because the wall is provided at a certain angle rather than a right angle, furniture formed at a right angle may not align with the wall formed at an angle.

[0048] According to the technical concept of the present disclosure, the width of the gap is determined based on the presence or absence of a wall, and by not placing furniture in the gap and applying a certain finish, errors in the actual construction site, such as the angle of the wall or the wall protruding convexly, can be automatically reflected in the design drawing, and as a result, construction according to the design can be carried out smoothly.

[0049] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 4 is a design drawing created according to the furniture design method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In detail, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 describe in detail the gap placement step (S30) of FIG. 2.

[0050] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, in the case of the first side (S1), second side (S2), and third side (S3) that are sequentially arranged adjacently in a U-shaped kitchen, the management server (100) can check whether a wall is placed at the ends of the first side (S1) and the third side (S3) that are arranged at both ends (S310). In the example of FIG. 4, the first side (S1) is configured as an open type (OP) with no wall on one side, so the management server (100) can determine that no wall is placed on the first side (S1). In addition, the third side (S3) has a wall (W) placed on the opposite side of the second side (S2), so the management server (100) can determine that a wall is placed on the third side (S3).

[0051] If a wall is placed on the first side (S1) or the third side (S3) (S320), the management server (100) can obtain depth information of the wall (S330). If the depth information of the wall is greater than or equal to a reference length (S340), the management server (100) can place a gap of a first width at the end (S350). Additionally, if the depth information of the wall is less than the reference length (S340), the management server (100) can place a gap of a second width at the end (S360).

[0052] In the example of the third side (S3) of FIG. 4, the management server (100) can place a first gap (G1) based on depth information (DI) of the wall (W). In one example, if the depth information (DI) is greater than or equal to a reference length, the first gap (G1) may have a first width (d1), and if the wall depth information (DI) is less than the reference length, the first gap (G1) may have a second width (d2).

[0053] If no wall is placed on the first side (S1) or the third side (S3) (S320), the management server (100) may place a gap of a second width at the end (S370) and a gap of a third width at the corner (S380).

[0054] In the example of the first surface (S1) of the open type (OP) of FIG. 4, the management server (100) may place a second gap (G2) of a second width (d2) at the end and a third gap (G3) of a third width (d3) at the corner end that meets the second surface (S2).

[0055] In one embodiment, the lengths may be in the order of a first width (d1) - a third width (d3) - a second width (d2), and the first width (d1) may be at least twice the second width (d2). In one example, the first width (d1) may be 45-55 mm, the second width (d2) may be 18-22 mm, and the third width (d3) may be 27-33 mm.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the management server (100) may place a gap of greater width than in the case where there is no wall. In the case where there is a wall, as described above, furniture may not fit exactly during the construction process depending on the actual shape of the wall. As in one embodiment of the present disclosure, by placing a larger gap in the case where there is a wall, it is possible to perform construction that reflects this error while still enabling optimal space utilization.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the management server (100) may place an additional gap at the corner end only in the case of an open type (G3 in FIG. 4). By placing an additional gap for the open type at the corner end in this way, the gap can be matched with the opposite side with the wall, and a gap for furniture can be secured for the open type surface.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a management server (100) can adjust the width of a gap (G1 in FIG. 4) based on wall depth information. For example, if the wall is longer than a predetermined standard length (e.g., 650 mm), the management server (100) can set the width of the gap to a first length (e.g., 45-55 mm), and if the wall is shorter than the standard length, the width of the gap can be set to a second length (e.g., 18-22 mm). The longer the wall, the more severe the error caused by the angle of the wall or the uneven shape of the wall may become. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, by reflecting this error based on the length of the wall, construction errors caused by wall errors can be prevented, while the width of the gap can be set to a minimum for optimal space utilization when the wall is short.

[0059] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the management server (100) can set the width of the gap to a second length (d2) that is the same as the open gap (G2 in FIG. 4) when the wall is less than a predetermined standard length. In the case of a gap, finishing materials must be installed later to finish it. However, by standardizing the wall to a second length (d2) when it is short, the difficulty of construction can be reduced by using only finishing materials of a predetermined standard without diversifying the types of finishing materials.

[0060] In one embodiment, the management server (100) can determine the length (d1) of the first gap (G1) based on the following mathematical formula based on wall depth information (DI) and a constant (N).

[0061]

[0062] In one embodiment, the constant (N) may be '15' by default, or it may be determined differently depending on the type of building, such as an apartment, villa, or house, or the age of the building. In one example, the constant (N) may be determined to be higher in the order of apartment > villa > house, and in another example, the constant (N) may be determined to be higher as the age of the building decreases. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the gap can be set smaller by increasing the constant (N) as the building is constructed more accurately and the probability of wall deformation decreases, and as a result, optimal space utilization may be possible.

[0063] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 5 illustrates the furniture arrangement step (S40) of FIG. 2.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 5, the management server (100) can place furniture on the first surface (S410). The management server (100) can place a gap of a fourth width from the furniture placed on the first surface along the length of the second surface adjacent to the first surface (S420). The management server (100) can place furniture in the remaining area excluding the gap on the second surface (S430).

[0065] A management server (100) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure can prevent construction errors caused by the lengths of furniture overlapping at the corners by first placing furniture on a first surface and placing a gap of a fourth width (e.g., 45-55 mm) on an adjacent second surface, and can perform accurate construction. The gap can maintain a neat aesthetic shape by installing finishing materials during the construction process.

[0066] Although FIG. 5 was explained with reference to the first plane, it should be understood that the same applies to the third plane.

[0067] FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a furniture design method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 6 illustrates the furniture arrangement step (S410) of FIG. 5.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 6, the management server (100) can obtain depth information of the wall located at the end of the first surface when the wall is placed at the end of the first surface (S411). If the depth information is greater than or equal to a reference length (S412), the management server (100) determines the sink bowl to a first size (S413) and can place a gap of a fifth width from the first surface by subtracting a predetermined value (e.g., 600 mm) from the depth information of the wall (S415). Additionally, the management server (100) obtains location information where a distributor is placed on the first surface (S416) and can place a sink cabinet at a location corresponding to the location information of the distributor, taking into account the placed gap (S417).

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the management server (100) can modify the design drawing by determining the size of the sink bowl based on wall depth information so that the sink bowl cabinet in which the sink bowl is housed does not extend beyond the wall and allows for aesthetically neat construction.

[0070] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the management server (100) can arrange a space between the wall and the sink cabinet where a faucet, etc. can be placed by excluding a predetermined value from the depth information of the wall and arranging a gap of the fifth width, and the construction of the sink cabinet can be properly performed.

[0071] Although FIG. 6 was explained with reference to the first plane, it should be understood that the same applies to the third plane.

[0072] FIG. 7 shows a design drawing designed according to a furniture design method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0073] Referring to FIG. 7, furniture is placed on the first surface (S1), and a fourth gap (G4) of a fourth width (d4) can be placed between the furniture on the second surface. The fourth gap (G4) allows for a gap to be created so that the furniture placed on the first surface (S1) and the furniture placed on the second surface (S2) do not overlap.

[0074] In addition, in one embodiment, the fourth width may be the same as the first width (d1, FIG. 4) of the first gap (G1, FIG. 4), and by standardizing the fourth gap (G4) to the same numerical value as the first width (d1), the difficulty of construction may be reduced by using only a finishing material of a predetermined standard without diversifying the types of finishing materials.

[0075] The management server (100) can determine the size of the sink bowl (SB) based on the wall depth information (DI), and can also place a fifth gap (G5) of a fifth width (d5) behind the sink cabinet, excluding a predetermined value from the wall depth information (DI). In one example, the predetermined value may be the unique size of the sink cabinet (e.g., 600 mm), and if the wall depth information is 650 mm, the fifth width (d5) may be determined to be 50 mm, and if the wall depth information is 700 mm, the fifth width (d5) may be determined to be 100 mm. The management server (100) can place the sink cabinet in consideration of the fifth gap (d5) where the distributor or faucet (WT) is located.

[0076] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, by adaptively determining the width of the fifth gap (d5) by taking into account the depth information of the wall, a sink cabinet can be installed to exactly match the size of the wall, and as a result, a neat and aesthetically pleasing construction can be achieved.

[0077] FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a computing system including a furniture design system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0078] Referring to FIG. 8, the computing system (1000) may include a processor (1100), a memory device (1200), a storage device (1300), a power supply (1400), and an input / output device (1500). Meanwhile, although not shown in FIG. 8, the computing system (1000) may further include ports capable of communicating with a video card, sound card, memory card, USB device, etc., or with other electronic devices.

[0079] In this way, the processor (1100), memory device (1200), storage device (1300), power supply (1400), and input / output device (1500) included in the computing system (1000) can perform the furniture design method according to embodiments of the technical concept of the present disclosure. Specifically, the processor (1100) can perform the furniture design method described above in FIGS. 1 to 8 by controlling the memory device (1200), storage device (1300), power supply (1400), and input / output device (1500).

[0080] The processor (1100) can perform specific calculations or tasks. According to an embodiment, the processor (1100) may be a microprocessor or a Central Processing Unit (CPU).
