Innovation Solution
An interior-layout assistance method and system that utilizes 3D CAD data generation, product classification, and machine learning to determine optimal arrangement candidates and products based on user input, incorporating a learning model to suggest high-priority options based on historical data and user attributes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual blueprint drawing and interior layout planning are performed by architects and CAD experts, then measurement precision and layout accuracy are improved, but productivity is deteriorated due to the time-consuming process taking one to two weeks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical blueprint drawing with an automated computer-based system that captures images of the interior space, automatically generates scaled floor plans, and performs layout calculations. This substitution of manual mechanical processes with automated computational processes achieves both high accuracy and improved productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates digital copies of the physical interior space through image capture and processing, generating scaled floor plans and 3D models that accurately represent the actual space. These digital copies enable precise measurement and layout planning without requiring manual drafting, thereby improving both accuracy and efficiency.
2Loss of information
If multiple providers coordinate using paper-based blueprints and drawings, then communication accuracy is improved, but loss of time and resources are worsened due to the enormous number of paper sheets required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal digital platform that serves multiple functions: generating floor plans, performing layout calculations, visualizing 3D models, and enabling collaboration among all providers. This single digital system replaces multiple paper-based documents and processes, reducing paper waste and coordination time while maintaining communication accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical paper blueprints with digital copies that can be instantly shared and accessed by all providers. These digital copies eliminate the need for numerous physical sheets, reduce printing costs, and enable real-time collaboration without the time losses associated with physical document management.
3Ease of operation
If traditional manual methods are used for product selection and arrangement, then ease of operation is improved for simple tasks, but productivity is deteriorated due to inefficiency in selecting and purchasing products
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual product selection processes with an automated system that uses the generated floor plans and 3D models to recommend suitable products, calculate optimal arrangements, and facilitate purchasing. This automation maintains ease of operation for users while dramatically improving productivity in product selection and procurement.

AI summary
An interior-layout assistance method that is useful in considering a layout of products in an interior. A first step of acquiring or generating 3D CAD data of an interior, a second step of designating, by a user, a classification of and a budget for a product being an at least one of furniture and a home appliance to be arranged in the interior, a step of determining arrangement candidates that are presented as different combinations of a space in which the product can be arranged among spaces in the interior and a product to be arranged in the space, the determining of the arrangement candidates performed on a basis of the 3D CAD data acquired or generated in the first step and the classification and budget for the product, the classification and the budget being designated in the second step, and a step of displaying a 3D CAD image.
