Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems lack the ability to facilitate seamless information exchange and feedback in heterogeneous environments, limiting users' capability to update or modify BIM models without using modeling tools.
Innovation Solution
A BIM feedback system comprising a data system, model presentation server, and information feedback database management system, allowing users to generate feedback information with object mappings, which updates corresponding parameters in the BIM model, enabling interoperability beyond traditional modeling tool limitations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional BIM systems use traditional modeling tools for information management, then modeling precision and control are maintained, but user accessibility and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a feedback system comprising a presentation server, feedback database management system, and data system that acts as an intermediary between users and the BIM model. Users can submit feedback information through simple interfaces without needing modeling tools, and the system automatically processes and applies this feedback to update the BIM model, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing users to directly submit feedback information that is automatically processed and applied to the BIM model. The feedback database management system autonomously handles the transformation and application of feedback without requiring user intervention or expertise in modeling tools, making the system self-sufficient and easier to use
2Adaptability or versatility
If BIM systems support information exchange in heterogeneous environments, then adaptability and interoperability improve, but information loss and data integrity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where users can submit observations and modifications about the BIM model, which are then processed by the feedback database management system. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that information exchange in heterogeneous environments maintains data integrity by systematically validating and applying feedback while preserving the original model's integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and manages copies of BIM model data through the data system and feedback database, allowing information exchange without modifying the original model directly. This copying mechanism enables interoperability in heterogeneous environments while preventing information loss by maintaining the original model as a reference
Data Source
AI summary
A building information modeling (BIM) feedback system has at least one data system, a model presentation server system, a user device, and an information feedback database management system (DBMS). The data system receives objects posted by the model manager and then retrieves information of a building model and object mapping information, wherein the object mapping information records the relation between object identifications and the retrieved objects. Via the user device, a user views the building model and manipulates to generate feedback information, wherein the feedback information has an object data structure having the object identification and the parameters associated with the object which has the parameters to be updated. Based on the object mapping information, the information feedback DBMS requests the corresponding data system to update the parameters of the corresponding object according to the feedback information.
