First Embodiment
An interior space simulation device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 3. Figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of functional blocks of the interior space simulation device 1 according to this embodiment, Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of information stored by the storage unit 11 of the interior space simulation device 11 according to this embodiment, and Figure 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the interior space simulation device 1 according to this embodiment.

The interior space simulation device 1 according to this embodiment is a device that can display an interior space display image that matches the user's image on a specific user terminal 20.

The interior space simulation device 1 and the user terminal 20 may be connected via a wireless network or via a wired network.

For example, a user may use a user terminal 20 installed in a showroom or the like to display an image of an interior space that matches the user's image, or may use the user's own user terminal 20 (e.g., a smartphone, PC, etc.) to display an image of an interior space that matches the user's image.

Specifically, the interior space simulation device 1 includes a memory unit 11, an acquisition unit 12, an extraction unit 13, a selection unit 14, and a transmission unit 15.

The storage unit 11 stores atmosphere information of an interior space including interior items in association with images of the interior space.

In other words, the storage unit 11 stores images of multiple interior spaces for the atmosphere information of one interior space.

For example, the atmosphere information is information that indicates an atmosphere such as "Tropical style", "European style", "Asian style", "Nordic style", "light colors", "dark colors", "bright atmosphere", "calm atmosphere", "dirt is not noticeable", etc.

For example, interior goods include decorative sheets, decorative films, flooring materials, tiles, carpets, cushioned flooring, long PVC sheets, wallpaper, ceiling materials, upholstery, cushions, multi-purpose covers, rugs, curtains, roller screens, blinds, etc.

Interior goods may also include various types of furniture, various home appliances, lighting fixtures, paintings, and other decorative items.

Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the storage unit 11 may store atmosphere information and an image of the interior space in association with each entity.

Here, an entity may be a corporation such as a house manufacturer, builder, construction company, or remodeling company, or it may be an individual such as a designer.

The acquisition unit 12 acquires interior space atmosphere information input by a user terminal. Here, the user inputs the user's preferred atmosphere information via the user terminal 20.

The extraction unit 13 extracts from the memory unit 11 a plurality of images of interior spaces stored in association with the interior space atmosphere information acquired by the acquisition unit 12.

The selection unit 14 selects a predetermined number of interior space images from the multiple interior space images extracted by the extraction unit 13. Here, the predetermined number may be 1, or may be 2 or more.

For example, the predetermined number may be set in advance for each entity corresponding to the user terminal 20.

The selection unit 14 also changes the image of the interior space to be selected for each entity corresponding to the user terminal 20.

Here, the selection unit 14 may select, from among the multiple interior space images, images of interior spaces that are predetermined for each entity as a predetermined number of interior space images.

For example, the selection unit 14 may refer to the storage unit 11 and select a predetermined number of images of the interior space.

In such a case, the images of the interior space stored in the storage unit 11 may include images of interior items that the user wants each entity to use or sell.

Alternatively, when the selection unit 14 is able to search, through image recognition, for an image of an interior space that is similar to an image of an interior space that was previously constructed by the entity from among a plurality of images of interior spaces, the selection unit 14 may select the searched image of the interior space as a predetermined number of images of the interior space.

The transmission unit 15 transmits at least one of the images of the predetermined number of interior spaces selected by the selection unit 14 to the user terminal 20.

The selection unit 14 may also change the interior items included in the image of the interior space in response to a request from the user terminal 20. Here, such a request may include information related to the interior items in which the user is interested (e.g., product category, image, product information, information on the sample book in which the product is featured, etc.).

Below, an example of the operation of the interior space simulation device 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, in step S101, the user inputs his/her preferred atmosphere information to the user terminal 20 and transmits the atmosphere information, and the acquisition unit 12 acquires the atmosphere information.

In step S102, the extraction unit 13 extracts from the memory unit 11 images of multiple interior spaces that are stored in association with the atmosphere information acquired by the acquisition unit 12.

In step S103, the selection unit 14 selects a predetermined number of interior space images for the entity corresponding to the user terminal 20 from the multiple interior space images extracted by the extraction unit 13.

In step S104, the transmission unit 14 transmits at least one of the predetermined number of interior space images selected by the selection unit 14 to the user terminal 20. As a result, the user terminal 20 displays the image of the interior space received from the interior space simulation device 1.

The interior space simulation device 1 according to this embodiment allows the user to display an image of an interior space that matches his/her own image on the user terminal 20 with simple operations.

In addition, the interior space simulation device 1 according to this embodiment can display, for each entity, an image of an interior space that includes interior items that the entity would like the entity to use or sell.

Although the present invention has been described in detail using the above-mentioned embodiment, it is clear to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in this specification. The present invention can be implemented in modified and altered forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the description in this specification is intended to be illustrative and does not have any limiting meaning on the present invention.
