Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a medium recording a design instruction program, a design instruction system, a design instruction device, and a design instruction method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, it has become possible to order various products on a homepage using the Internet. For example, in the case of a personal computer, not only a single product but also various parts constituting the product are registered, and a user can select and order parts as desired.

On the other hand, as for accessories and jewels, custom-made products designed according to customer's request have been used.

[0004]

In order to place an order on a homepage using the conventional Internet described above,
There were the following issues. You can order your own personal computer on the homepage for each part, and the instructions for combining are very clear. Therefore, if only the parts that can be combined are prepared, it is possible to order an original personal computer only by selecting one of them.

[0005] On the other hand, the desire for accessories and jewelry designs is ambiguous, and one has to listen to the wishes while talking face-to-face, and it has never been possible to receive an order on a homepage. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has a medium, a design instruction device, and a design instruction recording a design instruction program capable of easily receiving design instructions even in a design world that tends to be ambiguous. It is intended to provide a method and a design instruction system.

[0006]

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a medium storing a design instruction program to be executed by a computer to acquire a design request instruction. A sample display function for displaying design samples, a selection operation accepting function for specifying whether or not each displayed design sample is selected, and a request instruction for displaying a plurality of selected design samples and instructing a design request The computer is configured to execute the operation receiving function.

In the invention according to claim 1 configured as described above, a plurality of design samples can be displayed by the sample display function, and the operator for each of the displayed design samples is designated by the selection operation accepting function. The presence / absence of the selection is received, and finally a plurality of design samples selected by the request instruction operation receiving function are displayed to instruct a design request. In other words, even if it is difficult to automate the process of accepting orders because it tends to be ambiguous like a design, it is possible to give instructions to the designer by selecting multiple items from design samples prepared in advance. I have.

Although the sample display function displays a plurality of design samples, the display mode can be changed as appropriate. For example, a normal two-dimensional photograph may be used, a plurality of photos from different directions may be combined,
D display may be used. In addition, one display may be performed at a time, or a plurality of display may be performed simultaneously. On the other hand, the operator specifies whether or not each of the displayed design samples is selected, and obtains this specification by the selection operation receiving function. There are various selection operations, and it is possible to display one page for each design sample and accept the selection for each page, or to display multiple design samples and provide check boxes for each. May be selected. Alternatively, a plurality of design samples may be collectively displayed and a selection operation may be received while receiving a selection operation for each design sample.

[0009] With regard to selecting a design sample and instructing a request for design, too many people cannot grasp the image as a recipient. But from the beginning, 5
If you limit the number to one, you can quickly reach the maximum number and not be able to select it as you want. Therefore, the invention according to claim 2 is a computer-readable recording medium storing the design instruction program according to claim 1, wherein the request instruction operation accepting function displays a plurality of selected design samples, and After narrowing down, a design request is issued.

In the invention according to claim 2 configured as described above, the selection operation is accepted regardless of the number, and a plurality of design samples selected last are displayed and narrowed down to a predetermined number. . As a result, even if you finally select five, you can freely concentrate on the selection of design samples as you like at the time of selection, and even if you select about ten, you can convey your desired image from there Can be narrowed down.

It is naturally possible to accept a request that is not particular about this, while premising on selection from such design samples. Therefore, a third aspect of the present invention provides a medium in which the design instruction program according to any one of the first and second aspects is recorded, wherein the request instruction operation accepting function accepts an input of an individual design instruction. At the same time, a design request is instructed together with the selected design sample.

In the invention according to claim 3 configured as described above, while receiving the input of the individual design instruction as described above, the design request is instructed together with the design sample selected by the request instruction operation receiving function. it can.
For example, a desire to select two design samples with different motifs but want to add one mainly and the other smaller is accepted in this way. You can also add individual motifs, such as adding a heart motif. Further, the present invention is also suitable for conveying a desire for a warm design or a sharp image as an overall image. As an input of such a design instruction, a radio button may be arranged. For example, it is possible to indicate whether to select “matte” or “matte” as the finishing method of the ring, or to select the stone shape from “round cut” / “marquise” / “pair shape”. It is also possible to provide an instruction to select one of the alternatives. In addition, not only the radio buttons but also other input methods can be used together.

The input of such an individual design instruction is not limited to an instruction indicating a feeling, but may include a specific design. For this reason, the invention according to claim 4 is a medium in which the design instruction program according to claim 3 is recorded, wherein the request instruction operation accepting function accepts the input of the individual design instruction as graphic information. is there. In the invention according to claim 4 configured as described above, an input of an individual design instruction is received as graphic information. For example, an operator operates a computer to draw a design of a ring, attaches the data file, and accepts it as an individual design instruction.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in order to enhance the operability, the request instruction operation accepting function is used to render a design sample on a medium storing the design instruction program according to the fourth aspect. It is configured to execute an operation function and an acquisition function of acquiring a drawn design sample. In the invention according to claim 5 configured as described above, the design sample can be drawn by the drawing operation function in addition to the selection operation, and the operator can freely select his / her own image while selecting the design sample. Can be drawn as a design sample, and the drawn design sample is acquired by the acquisition function.

In this way, it is possible to specifically draw and instruct the design sample such as "I want you to make this part round and look like this." On the other hand, when it comes to design orders, costs are difficult to understand, and people tend to hesitate. Therefore, according to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a medium in which the design instruction program according to any one of the first to fifth aspects is recorded, wherein the request instruction operation accepting function uses a simple design for design instructing a request. It is configured to present an estimate of

In the invention according to claim 6 configured as described above, a simple estimate is presented by using the selected design sample as a guide. As a more specific example, the invention according to claim 7 is a computer-readable recording medium storing the design instruction program according to claim 6, wherein the request instruction operation accepting function is used for the estimation associated with each design sample in advance. It is configured to calculate an estimate based on parameters.

[0017] Since the work of processing is different for each different design, when a new order is placed, the cost varies depending on the degree of the processing. However, the cost outline is naturally different between a case where a plurality of difficult designs are selected and a case where a plurality of simple designs are selected. In the invention according to claim 7 configured as described above, estimation parameters are associated with each design sample in advance, and the estimation is calculated using the parameters for estimating the selected design sample. For example, a rough average may be obtained by a simple average, or a higher value parameter may be considered with a higher weight.

In order to accept a design, since the work of the designer and the work of the manager are ultimately separate, they need to be received as two instructions. For this reason,
According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, in the medium storing the design instruction program according to any one of the first to seventh aspects, the request instruction operation accepting function includes: And a design request instruction.

In the invention according to claim 8 configured as described above, when the design request operation is received by the request instruction operation receiving function, the design request instruction is sent to the manager and the design request is sent to the designer. Instructions will be given individually. Therefore, there is no need for the manager or the designer to receive the design request instruction and retransmit it to the other. Of course, such a recording medium may be a magnetic recording medium or a magneto-optical recording medium, and any recording medium to be developed in the future can be considered in the same manner. Also,
The duplication stage of the primary duplicate product, the secondary duplicate product, and the like is completely indispensable. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the case where the present invention is used even when the supply is performed using a communication line.

Further, even when a part is realized by software and a part is realized by hardware, the concept of the present invention is not completely different from that of the present invention. It may be in a form that is appropriately read in accordance with it. It goes without saying that the idea of the invention is reflected in the program itself. It is not necessary for the requester to directly execute a design request in a store or the like, and it is naturally possible to make the operation possible from a remote place via a communication line such as the Internet. Therefore, in the invention according to claim 9, a plurality of design samples are displayed on the user terminal so that they can be browsed, the designation of the selection of the displayed design samples is accepted, and the selected plurality of design samples are accepted. The design sample is displayed, the design request is instructed, and the server receives the design request.

Of course, the distance between the user terminal and the server machine is L
An AN line or a network line such as the Internet may be used. Further, the communication medium may be not only wired but also wireless. Further, a physical storage medium such as a floppy (registered trademark) or a semiconductor storage element may be exchanged. As described above, the method of selecting and designating a plurality of design samples to indicate an abstract design is realized by a substantial computer, and in this sense, the present invention can be applied to a substantial device including such a computer. It is easy to understand. For this reason, the invention according to claim 10 provides a sample display means for displaying a plurality of design samples, a selection operation receiving means for designating whether or not each of the displayed design samples is selected, and a plurality of selected design samples. An order instructing operation means for displaying a sample and instructing an order of a design is provided.

That is, there is no difference that the present invention is effective as a substantial device controlled by a computer. Of course, such a design instruction device may be implemented alone, or may be implemented together with another method while being incorporated in a certain device. Which includes the aspect of,
Can be changed. In addition, when a medium on which such a design instruction program is recorded proceeds in accordance with the above-described control, it is natural that an invention exists in the procedure, and that the invention can be applied as a method. Is easy to understand. For this reason, the invention according to claim 11 is a design instruction method for acquiring a design request instruction, displaying a plurality of design samples, obtaining designation of selection of each of the displayed design samples,
The configuration is such that a plurality of selected design samples are displayed and a design request is instructed.

That is, there is no difference in that the present invention is not necessarily limited to a tangible medium or the like, but is also effective as a method.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, a design instruction program capable of receiving a design instruction more easily even in a design world that tends to be ambiguous and realizing automation is recorded. A medium can be provided. According to the second aspect of the present invention,
At first, you can select freely without worrying about the number that can be selected, and then you can narrow down and give instructions, so you can give design instructions with a more natural feeling.

Further, according to the invention of claim 3,
In addition to the selection instructions, we can individually accept design instructions, making it easier to convey your own preferences,
Selecting multiple samples may lead to vague instructions, but it can be corrected. Furthermore, according to the invention according to claim 4,
An instruction can be given to the design by design as graphic information, and more specific instructions can be given.

Further, according to the invention of claim 5,
Since the operation of drawing the design sample is received together with the selection operation, the trouble of drawing with separate software or the like and the trouble of transferring data files can be eliminated. Furthermore, according to the invention of claim 6, a simple estimate can be presented. In particular, design orders are often difficult to quote in practice,
By selecting from a plurality of design samples, it can be easier to get an estimate.

Further, according to the invention of claim 7,
By making the estimation parameters correspond to each other, the operation and the like become unique, and the calculation can be easily realized. Further, according to the invention according to claim 8, it is possible to individually instruct the design request instruction to the manager and the design request instruction to the designer by one operation, and it is necessary to issue separate instructions. Operability can be improved. Further, according to the invention of claim 9,

[0028]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 schematically shows a design instruction system according to an embodiment of the present invention when using the Internet. In the figure, a server 20 and a user terminal 30 are connected to the Internet 10. The server device 20 is a WEB server, and can exchange predetermined data with the Internet 10 in response to an access request from another terminal or the like.
The user terminal 30 is directly or indirectly connected to the Internet 10 via a provider or the like.
The data is accessible. A designer terminal 40 in charge of individual design can also access the Internet 10, and a design request is managed by the server machine 20 and is also instructed to the designer terminal 40.

FIG. 2 shows an arrangement state of a database for managing data. A server machine 20 stores a design picture database 21 for storing design pictures as design samples and a personal information database for storing user information. 22, a design request instruction database 23 in which instructions of the requested design are stored, an administrator database 24 storing data to be managed by the administrator based on the design request instructions, and a completed design image There is provided a customer-specific homepage 25 that can be viewed with the ID and password. Further, the designer terminal 40 is provided with a designer instruction reception database 41 for storing data necessary for the designer to work based on the design request instruction.

Next, FIGS. 3 and 4 are flowcharts showing the processing procedure executed by the design instruction system. Hereinafter, the processing procedure will be described based on an actual input form with reference to this flowchart. First, a user who operates the user terminal 30 accesses the server 20 connected to the Internet 10 according to a predetermined procedure. Then, personal information is input in step 100 shown in FIG. FIG. 5 shows a customer information input screen 51. As shown in the figure, the customer information input screen 51 includes a name, an address, e
Input fields 51a to 51f for a mail address, telephone number, fax number, occupation, etc. are provided. In addition, the customer information input screen 51 has a character display 51g "Jump to design art book" along with the input fields 51a to 51f, and a link for jumping to the design art book page is provided. Clicking this display terminates the input of personal information. Then, the personal information database 22 is updated, and in step 102, display and update of the design image (design sample) are executed. That is, this step 102 corresponds to the sample display function.

FIG. 6 shows a design picture display screen 52. The design image display screen 52 displays a jewelry design display 52a and a page feed display 52b. The page-turn display 52b is a rightward or leftward triangle. When any of the triangles is clicked, the process returns to step 102 through the determination of step 104, and the design image display screen 52 of the new page to which the page is turned is displayed. That is, the right triangle display has a link to jump to the next page, and the left triangle display has a link to jump to the previous page. It should be noted that only one triangle is displayed on each of the first page and the last page.

Each design display 52a is provided with a link for jumping to a page showing the details of the design. When the design display 52a is clicked on the screen, the judgment in step 108 is made, and in step 110 shown in FIG. A design details display screen 53 is displayed. On this detailed display screen 53, a three-sided display 53a shown in a front view, a top view, and a side view while enlarging the clicked design, a product description display 53b displaying a description of the product, and an impression of the design are input. Design impression input column 53c to be
A check box 53d for checking if the user likes this design and a character display 53e of "BACK" for returning to the design image display screen 52 again are displayed.

When the detailed display screen 53 is displayed, step 1
At 12, the user waits for a user operation. The operations performed here are a check in the check box 53d and an input in the design impression input field 53c. Therefore, the function of monitoring the operation of the check box 53d corresponds to the selection operation receiving function. The input in the design impression input field 53c corresponds to the input of an individual design instruction. The “free paint activation” in parentheses will be described later.
At the same time as the input is waited, in step 114, "BAC
The presence or absence of a click on the character display 53e of "K" is monitored. When this click is made, the process returns to step 102 to display the design image display screen 52.

Following the last page of the design image display screen 52 is an edit instruction screen 54 shown in FIG. 8, which shows a character display 54a of "edit" along with an explanatory note. That is, while displaying the design picture display screen 52 in order at step 102, the input of the check box 53d is acquired every time a favorite design is found, and the “edit Is performed. And
Clicking on the "edit" character display 54a causes a step 1
At 06, it is determined that an editing instruction has been issued.

Each of the design displays 52a displayed on the design image display screen 52 described above and a detailed display screen 53
The three-sided display 53a and the product description display 53b, which are indicated by, are all stored in the design image database 21, and are displayed with reference to the design image database 21 when the screen is updated. Also, the check into the check box 53d input in the process so far and the design impression input field 53c
Is received in step 112 and is input to the design request instruction database 23. In this case, a non-final selection situation may be referred to in the subsequent judgment, and therefore, may be left as it is. To be more specific, if you add a parameter "1" to each checked design image and add a "2" if it is canceled, you may decide that you may like it for the time being Becomes possible.

FIG. 9 shows the selection and editing screen 55 displayed at step 116 after the determination at step 106, and the thumbnail display 55a of the design image with the check box 53d checked as described above is displayed. In addition to being displayed side by side with a check box 55b, an operation description 55c and a character display 55d of "determine favorite" are displayed. While browsing the design picture display screen 52, the favorite design can be checked without limitation, so that the operator can freely select. For example, if you are aware of the limit of 5 items to select from the beginning, you have to worry about that limit, but if you do not limit the number that can be checked at the first stage like this, You won't be able to reflect your preferences due to unexpected external factors.

Then, on the selection / editing screen 55, only the design images which have been selected so far and which are likely to meet the user's preference are displayed again, and the number is narrowed down to five. When the display is performed again in this manner, an effect of rediscovering one's preference at that time is produced. For example, while looking at a design picture, it is possible to properly distinguish between a design that is simply liked and a design related to a design that one is going to order. And even if you have some favorite motifs, it is possible to clarify whether you can combine them with this design to get the image you want or not.

After the selection and editing screen 55 is displayed, the operation on the check box 55b is monitored in step 118, and the operation on the character display 55d of "OK" is monitored in step 120. And 5
When the character display 55d of "favorite decision" is clicked at the time of narrowing down to the number of pieces, the favorite design image screen 56 shown in FIG. This favorite design picture screen 5
6, thumbnail displays 56a of up to five narrowed-down design images are displayed side by side with check boxes 56b, and operation instructions 56c and 56e are displayed.
And a customer form input field 56d for filling in, and "Send"
Is displayed. In the drawing, the character display 56g of "simple estimate" indicated by a broken line is not essential, and will be described later.

On this favorite design picture screen 56,
The user inputs a general instruction that cannot be conveyed simply by narrowing down the design images. As shown in a form entry example of the operation explanation 56c, "Is the design of NO123 good?
It is hard to throw away the heart motif of NO537. NO12
Please put a heart motif somewhere in the feeling of 3. ”, Or indicate that you want to focus on one of the designs, or that you want a design that can be studded just to convey the image. This entry has been accepted in step 124. Therefore, this entry can also be said to be an input of an individual design instruction.

On the other hand, in step 126, the operation on the character display 56f of "send" is monitored, and when the click is detected, a predetermined database is determined in step 128 based on the above-described selection status and general instruction input. Update. The function of updating a predetermined database in this way corresponds to a request instruction operation receiving function. Figure 1
Reference numeral 1 denotes a flowchart of the database update processing procedure. First, in step 132, the design request instruction database 23 is updated. The design request instruction database 23 is a basic database in which the instructions of the requested design are stored. Further, in step 134, the administrator database 24 is newly added and updated based on the update data of the database, and the administrator's database is updated. Used for management. Of course, this function corresponds to the design request instruction to the manager. More specifically, management data such as the date and time of the order and personal information are added, so that the manager can execute contact with the designer and management when an order is actually received.

In step 136, a designer in charge is automatically selected from a plurality of designers.
At 38, the designer instruction reception database 41 of the selected designer is updated via the Internet 10. Therefore, this function corresponds to a design request instruction to the designer. This eliminates the need to individually contact the designer or the designer himself to obtain necessary data by referring to the design request instruction database 23, thereby reducing errors.

After the database is updated in step 128, the final screen 57 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed in step 130. On the final screen 57, a dedicated home page that allows only the operator to view the completed design image with an ID and a password is created, and its URL and ID are displayed.
And password are sent by e-mail, fax and mail. The completed design images can be browsed on a dedicated website, which is extremely convenient for customers, and their location (URL address), ID and password can be sent not only by e-mail but also by fax or mail, so they may be lost. The danger of not being able to see it can be prevented. Of course, the configuration may be such that the notification is made only by means selected by the customer.

With the above-described series of processing, a design instruction system that can automatically order jewelry via the Internet 10 can be realized. Of course, the above-mentioned flowchart focuses on the processing procedure, and is not the processing on the client side and the processing on the server side that realize this, but the specific processing procedure of both can be handled by a known technology. Here, it is omitted. In the above-described example, the server device 20 is connected via the Internet 10.
And the user terminal 30 are connected. For the design instruction process, a CD-ROM in which a predetermined program and data are recorded is prepared, distributed and made to be selected, and only the result is e-mailed. It is also possible to perform a process such as transferring with.

By the way, FIG. 10 shows the character display 56g of the simple estimate by a broken line, but FIG. 13 shows a simple estimate screen 58 in the case of actually making the simple estimate. On the simple estimate screen 58, up to five selected design images are displayed as thumbnails 58a on the left side, and the upper limit 58b and the lower limit 5 are displayed on the right side.
8c. The calculation method of the upper and lower limits is as follows. As an example, a method based on a simple weighted average for all design images can be considered. In the following equation, the number of the selected design images is n, a parameter PD corresponding to the difficulty of processing set corresponding to each design image as shown in FIG. 14, and a material PD shown in FIG. Using the parameter PQ, the basic amount is

(Equation 1) Is calculated as The lower limit is calculated by multiplying by (0.8), and the upper limit is calculated by multiplying by (1.2).

Specifically, NO123 is used as the design image.
When NO 135 and NO 148 are selected, PD1 = 1.7 and PD2 = 2.
0, PD3 = 0.8, and when platinum is selected as the material, the parameter PQ becomes 2.2. Substituting this into the above equation, the basic amount = (1/3) x (1.7 + 2.0 + 0.8) x
2.2 × 10000 = 33000 Therefore, the lower limit is 26400 (= 33000 × 0.8)
And the upper limit is 39400 (= 33000 × 1.
2) It becomes a circle. Of course, this is only an example.

As another example, a method based on unequal weighted averaging for all design images can be considered. For example, the calculation is performed based only on the parameter PD having the highest design difficulty. Basic amount = PDmax × PQ × 10000 In the example described above, the parameter PD of NO 135 is the most difficult as the design image, and the basic amount is 2.0 × 2.2 × 10000 = 44000. Therefore, the lower limit is 35200 (= 44000 × 0. 8)
And the upper limit is 52800 (= 44000 × 1.
2) It becomes a circle.

Of course, various elements other than the above parameters can be adopted. For example, it is conceivable that information such as information on the width before and after the ring, the size of the ring, the price of the stone, how to fasten and the number of stones, the finishing method, etc. can be indicated using check boxes and the like. . In addition, "return" is displayed on the simple estimate screen 58.
A character display 58d is also displayed. When this character display is clicked, the favorite design screen 5 shown in FIG.
It will return to 6.

By the way, when the design picture is displayed in detail, the design impression input field 53c of the design picture display screen 52 is displayed.
Was used to input the impressions of individual designs, but this need not be limited to textual input. FIGS. 16 to 18 show examples of screen display when free paint activation is executed in step 112 in order to enable a design instruction based on graphic information. A free paint icon display 152e is newly displayed on the design picture display screen 152 shown in FIG. 16, and when a click operation is performed on the icon display 152e, FIG.
As shown in the design image drawing screen 153, the toolbars 152f and 152g for the paint operation are displayed, and various paint operations can be performed.

With respect to the toolbar 152f, a pointer, a rectangle drawing command, a round drawing command, and a line drawing command can be selected from above.
For 2 g, a pencil, an airbrush, a pen, and an eraser can be selected from above. The tools are the same as those used in a general paint application, and can change the design image before the change as shown in FIG. 18 like the design image after the change. Of course, these will be in charge of the drawing operation function. Then, the character display 152h of "END" shown in FIG.
When the user clicks, the changed data is transmitted as in the case of checking the check box 53d. Therefore, the acquisition function is executed by this operation. When the character display 152i of "cancel" is clicked, the changed data itself is not transmitted.

Of course, such image data is also stored in the design request instruction database 23 described above. In addition to such a case where a change is made to an existing design image as described above, it is also possible to attach JPEG image data photographed by a digital camera or the like. As described above, the individual design images are displayed on the design image display screen 52, and the user selects a favorite design image while following the design image display screen 52, and narrows down to a predetermined number on the selection / edit screen 55. By doing so, it became possible to receive orders for accessories and jewelry designs that were vague and had to ask a rough hope while talking face to face.

In the above example, the designer in charge creates a design picture in advance and displays it in the design picture book. The design pictures in this design picture book are invited from the designer in an audition format. A system is also possible. Hereinafter, the procedure of this system will be briefly described in time series. We solicit up to three designs per person. The applied design images are arranged so as to appear in the design image book in a random order as the design images described above. Each time a design image is selected as described above, the points of the designer are added. When adding points, two types of points are added up: points for selecting design images and points for design images that have actually been received. This means that when the order is completed, the customer can see which design picture was selected at the time of ordering, and a total can be obtained. When the number of points exceeds a certain number, the profile of the applicant is made public and the system operator undertakes the production of the order as his own brand. He then manages the brand and receives sales margins from system operators. The contract prohibits the person from producing and selling jewelry produced by the person through the system operator, and from producing and selling other companies and the person.

In this way, while giving a place for the designer to give a presentation, it is possible to reflect business evaluations from the actual site and increase business opportunities.
