1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a system including a server connected to a network with a purchaser terminal according to the present invention to provide a customized furniture quotation service in real time.

Referring to FIG. 1, the system 100 is a client-server model and includes a buyer terminal 110, a buyer terminal 110, and a real-time customized furniture quotation service server 130 connected to the network 120 (hereinafter, ' Server ').

The purchaser terminal refers to a device that can be connected to the server 130 through a personal PC, PDA, and the like, and exchanges data with the server 130 through a network (communication interface).

The server 130 is a server 130 that provides a customized furniture estimation service. The server 130 includes a product database 133, a product price database 134, a coordinate generation unit 135, a calculator 137, and the like.

The commodity database 133 stores various cuboid-shaped furniture images (hereinafter referred to as 'products'). The product stored in the product database 133 is a storage means, and a purchaser can manufacture desired furniture using only one product (one piece) or by assembling several of these products.

Since the merchandise is used as a means for storing an article, at least one of the six sides constituting the merchandise or a partial region of one side must be open. Of course, a door may be attached to one open surface or a partial area. The real product of the product is composed of a flat plate on each side, such a flat plate is assembled vertically or horizontally to constitute a single product. Since the goods are generally used as a component of the assembly assembled with each other, the thickness of the plate constituting one side of each product is preferably the same.

The purchaser can assemble the desired furniture by assembling a number of plates, with the passageway through which the goods enter and exit must be open. By assembling a plurality of flat plates to complete a single assembly of furniture, there is a shared surface between neighboring (adjacent) products.

The merchandise may vary in size, and if multiple merchandise is assembled to at least two adjacent ones, a shared surface must occur, so that the merchandise is preferably the same, but most of the merchandise stored in the merchandise database 133 The product may be enlarged by multiples in the horizontal or / and vertical direction based on a cube-shaped product (hereinafter, referred to as a “first product”) composed of only a small size plate.

When a product having an enlarged size in a horizontal direction (hereinafter, referred to as a 'second product') is disposed adjacent to the first product, the first product shares at least one side with the second product, and the second product is also arranged Depending on at least one side or part of one side will be shared. A product in which the first product is enlarged in the vertical direction (hereinafter referred to as a 'third product') also shares one side or a part of the surface when disposed adjacent to the first product.

In this way, the neighboring commodities must be shared with each other. However, if a part of the first commodity and the like are arranged in the neighborhood when the first commodity is shared, it must be able to form one side of the second commodity or the third commodity. In addition, the commodities must be commodities formed based on a standard that is expanded by a predetermined multiple of the first commodity.

The goods stored in the goods database 133 are provided to the buyer as a goods list. That is, a purchaser who accesses the server 130 according to the present invention may be provided with a list of various products formed according to the standard through the website, and may select a product required to complete the desired furniture assembled therefrom.

The prices of various products stored in the product database 133 are stored in the product price database 134. The price corresponding to each commodity is stored in the commodity price database 134 as well as the price of each side constituting each commodity. For example, the price of a finished product such as a first product, a second product, a third product, etc., the price of one side constituting the first product, and the price of one side formed into a rectangle constituting the second product and the third product The product price database 134 is stored. At this time, some of the surfaces constituting the second product and the third product is overlapped with one surface of the first product, the price of the overlapping surface is not stored separately.

In order for the buyer to assemble the furniture he wants, he must be able to arrange the above items in a single unit. This product placement window is provided via a website, which consists of a coordinate plane and displays coordinate values in the horizontal and vertical directions.

The coordinate arrangement window is generated by the coordinate generator 135. The coordinate generation unit 135 determines a coordinate value based on the first product, and fractionates the coordinate plane based on this. That is, the coordinate plane is divided and displayed in a square corresponding to one side of the first product. One such commodity may be placed in one such compartment, and the second commodity and third commodity may be arranged in two or more compartments, respectively.

Whenever a product is placed in the product arrangement window generated by the coordinate generation unit 135, it is necessary to read a price corresponding to the product price database 134, calculate a total accumulated product price, and present it to a buyer. have.

This price calculation is performed by the operator 137. At this time, the calculator 137 performs the operation in consideration of the number of surfaces shared when the product is placed adjacent to the product arrangement window. That is, the calculator 137 performs an operation of subtracting the price corresponding to the shared surface from the total price of the product placed in the product arrangement window.

The total price of the product = {the total price of the product placed in the product placement window-(the number of noodles shared with the neighboring product x the price corresponding to the shared side)} .............. ......... Formula (1)

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, two first products, one second product, and one product of FIG. 3 are arranged in the product arrangement window, the first product price is 22,000 won, the second and third product price is 36,000 won, If the price of one side constituting the first product is 5,000 won, the calculator 137 performs the calculation according to the following equation based on equation (1). 2 is a custom estimate website screen provided when a buyer connects to the server 130 providing a customized furniture quotation service according to the present invention.

Total price of the product = {(KRW 22,000 × 2 + KRW 36,000 + KRW 36,000)-(KRW 55,000)}

When the calculator 137 performs the above formula, a total price of 91,000 won is calculated.

Accordingly, the operator 137 must count the number of shared surfaces between neighboring products in order to perform the operation. The method of counting the shared surface may be performed in various ways. For example, the number of shared surfaces may be counted based on the case where one side of the square displayed on the product arrangement window 220 is shared.

The total price calculated by the calculator 137 is calculated in real time each time the buyer places the product in the product arrangement window 220, the calculated total price is the buyer through the price display window 230 shown in FIG. Is provided to. In addition, when the purchaser clicks the purchase button 240 (button indicated as 'BUY') shown in FIG. 2, a product purchase detail screen as shown in FIG. 3 is provided.

Referring to FIG. 2, the website screen includes a product list 210, a product arrangement window 220, a price display window 230, a purchase button 240, and the like stored in the product database 133. As already mentioned, the merchandise placement window 220 displays a predetermined coordinate value on the horizontal axis and the vertical axis as a coordinate plane, and the coordinate plane is divided into a predetermined size.

The coordinate value is determined by a coordinate generation unit. When the horizontal and vertical lengths of one side constituting the first product are 360 mm and the thickness of one side is 15 mm, the horizontal coordinates are 360 mm and 705, respectively. Mm, 1050 mm, and the like, and the ordinate values are represented by 50 mm (looking at the reference point), 410 mm, 755 mm, 1100 mm, and the like. The vertical coordinate value is based on the coordinate value corresponding to 50mm in consideration of the height of the pedestal of the finished furniture. The pedestal may be placed at a predetermined position of the assembled furniture by clicking the 'add pedestal' button shown in FIG.

The coordinate value is determined in consideration of the thickness of the surface shared between neighboring products, rather than increasing by the horizontal and / or vertical size of the first product. For example, the second coordinate value 705 mm on the horizontal axis and the second coordinate value 755 mm on the vertical axis are determined by the following equations (2) and (3).

Abscissa = [{360 mm (width of base of first article)-15 mm (thickness of side of first article)} × 2 (indicates which coordinate value to display) + 15 mm ( Side thickness of the first product)] = 705 mm .... Equation (2)

Vertical coordinate value = [50 mm (reference point) + {360 mm (vertical side length of the first product)-15 mm (thickness of the bottom of the first product)} × 2 (indicate which coordinate value to display ) + 15 mm (bottom thickness of the first product)] = 755 mm ... 3)

Next, a process of purchasing a product by a buyer using the customized quotation service system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for purchasing a product by a buyer using a customized quotation service system according to the present invention.
