For example, the article information generating unit 140 of the present invention may produce an article image by changing other information such as color, size, material, etc. of the article according to a request received from the user terminal. For example, the user may request to change the pattern and size of the table from the previously stored information of the item, and may generate a 3D item image by reflecting the change according to the request. Through this, the system 100 of the present invention allows the user to place the virtual space as close to actual use as possible and to visually confirm it.

Additionally, the present invention recommends an interior construction company for each of the three-dimensional article image generated from the image stored in the article information storage unit 130 and the three-dimensional article image that is changed and generated by a request received from the user terminal or may provide a recommendation service that recommends purchase information for similar products.

The simulation unit 150 arranges the three-dimensional article image generated by the article information generator 140 in the three-dimensional space image generated by the spatial information generator 120 according to a request received from the user terminal. can do.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the image of the article is selected by the user terminal, the simulation unit 150 may display detailed information about the selected article on the user terminal.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the simulation unit 150 includes a three-dimensional spatial image and a three-dimensional article image including the arrangement information of the previously placed article included in the article information storage unit 130 as described above. can create In this case, the user may delete some or all of the previously placed image of the article. In addition, it is possible to change the arrangement of some or all of the previously placed article images.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the simulation unit 150 may provide a simulation of a space-expandable article. That is, it is possible to store information about space-expandable items, for example, a foldable extension table or a pull-out sliding table, in the article information storage unit 130 , and the simulation unit 150 responds to a request received from a user terminal. Accordingly, according to the stored information, it is possible to enable simulation of folding, unfolding, taking out, and inserting the corresponding article. Through these simulations, it is possible to determine whether or not the product collides with other items during expansion and contraction.

Additionally, the present invention may include a placement information recommendation unit for recommending a more suitable location for an article placed in response to a request received from the user terminal. For example, when the user arranges the bed in the three-dimensional space image, it may be recommended to place the bed on a side that does not receive external light rather than next to a window through which a lot of light enters.

In addition, the arrangement information recommendation unit of the present invention may recommend the arrangement of the article in the three-dimensional space image based on the secret of soil cleaning. In detail, the arrangement information recommendation unit may firstly calculate the Tojeong secret score for each article arranged in the three-dimensional space image. Among them, it may be possible to request redeployment of goods that have obtained soil maintenance secret scores that are lower than the score set as the standard (ex 60 points).

Next, the placement information recommendation unit calculates the total soil balance score for the items that have obtained scores above the standard value, and determines whether the total soil balance score is higher than the score set as the second reference value (ex 50 points). and if it is lower than the corresponding score, you may request a relocation.

For reference, the firstly calculated Tojeongbigyeol score is calculated in consideration of the direction and arrangement position of each item, and the secondary calculated Tojeongbiyeol score may be calculated in consideration of the arrangement structure of a plurality of articles.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it will not be necessary to consider the Tojeongbijeol score for all image images of goods installed in a three-dimensional space. This is because, for example, it may not be necessary to consider the Tojeong secret score for simple items such as a chair for one person and a dining table for one person, and the arrangement information recommendation unit separates and displays the items that consider the Tojeong Secret score and those that do not consider it. You can do it.

Meanwhile, it is also necessary to consider whether a plurality of articles can be installed in a three-dimensional space, but whether each of the plurality of articles can be moved through a front door, whether each of the plurality of articles must be moved through a window, and the like can be determined. This is to determine not only the arrangement structure of the goods, but also whether the goods can enter the house (three-dimensional space) in the case of moving or delivery.

Specifically, it is possible to record the standard (width x length) of the front door, the presence or absence of an elevator, the standard of an article, and the like in the user terminal. Based on the recorded information, the simulation unit 150 may generate a three-dimensional space image such as a front door and an indoor structure. At this time, the simulation unit 150 can also enable simulation of whether the article to be placed in the space can pass through the front door or the like and whether the direction can be freely manipulated in the indoor space after entering the front door. there is. That is, since it is not easy for the purchased item to enter the house, the user can determine whether the bulky item can easily enter the house through the simulation. If it is not easy for a specific article to enter the house, the simulation unit 150 may recommend an article having a size smaller than that of the specific article. In this case, the simulation unit 150 may provide a mini-game (eg ladder climbing game) to the user terminal, and if the user wins, additional information such as a purchasable store related to the recommended item may be displayed on the terminal. . This is to arouse users' interest more by applying a mini-game.
