DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a field of construction & interior market segment and precisely “visualization of false ceiling design for a space. In particularly, the present invention discloses about a system and a method of constructing 3D model view of false ceiling for a space.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

End users and false ceiling service providers (house owners, building owners and contractors, designers, architects, home décor companies) are following the traditional age old process of site visit, designing, visualizing (2D/3D design view), measurement taking, technical drawing development, calculations and providing quotations in a false ceiling project. End user has no control, as they need to depend on contractors to visit site, take measurements and present design with quotation, that too lack clarity & transparency. This is offline process, which take a lot of time & efforts. The service provider suffers more she need to put in this time, effort & incurred cost without any confirmation of project. It takes 3-7 days’ time for this process. With lack of options, end user (building owner is forced to get convinced with reference 3D design obtained from google and hand sketch drawn (to explain as house the chosen design would scaleup/down as per actual site measurements) by contractor with rough estimate as contractor always provides actual total payable amount after project completion by taking measurements of completed work; as he can’t predict accurate project value while getting his rough hand drawn sketch approved. It’s very difficult for a contractor to provide 3D rendered view for a customer for his actual site along with technical drawings as it takes a lot of extra work, cost and effort as he need to get it outsourced, where in the same amount of time he complete the project execution and move on to another client project. Hence, he avoids it and customer need to accept the fact. Even if the customer is dealing with an interior designer or architect or a brand, developing 3D view and technical drawings for free or without confirmation on project is not beneficial for the provider; hence they either charge extra for designing charges or charge higher rate for false ceiling work than market rate where customer would suffer. Even though the client is willing to pay extra, its not economic for designers to put in a lot of time & effort only for a false ceiling project (which is much low as project value wise compared to a complete interior project). Customer has to pay advance to contractor without any clarity of total square feet area for particular design and price calculation, based on rough sketch and left with no better choice. Both the parties need a solution for this problem serving in favour of both parties.

There are numerous system for developing design for false ceiling. The major challenge everyone face which blocks their way is the fact: a particular false ceiling design which a user likes needs to be made to “fit-to-size” of the ceiling space of customer’s actual site by scaling up/down. Even this is possible to scale up/down a 3D model of a false ceiling design by stretching its ends and made to fit ceiling corners. Then what is the roadblock. The roadblock here is that, certain elements of the product 3D model are supposed to be constant and certain elements should scale up/down rather than stretching overall ratio wise. When you scale up/down a product 3D model then the overall ration of the product changes. In addition, not just that, once the product dimensions changes in this case, the calculation of its square feet area and hence price calculation is not easy, as there is not a single straight formula for calculation of square feet area of various false ceiling designs calculation. The calculation formula varies design to design.

In order to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, there is a need to design a system and a method of constructing 3D model view of false ceiling for a space. The system helps bother end user & service provider by saving their time, effort and money making it online, instant and hassle free. End user let’s say house owner don’t need to consult any contractor and even without asking a contractor to visit site, himself can design false ceiling for his new space obtaining all required details like sizes, square feet area, standard market, rate & price calculation with breakups, specification drawing for execution, and download all these details from the system within seconds. In addition, for end user, let us say contractor or designer or home décor company, they can also use the system same way like customer, and obtain the desired data, which they had to create otherwise. This saves a lot of time, effort & money for them too as they had to consider it free of cost service along with complete false ceiling project, as customer will not pay for it in 90% of cases. Time & effort that it takes to create such data and getting designs approved is hectic for them. That in addition, they had to do it without getting any confirmation or advance payment for the project hence they are never willing to offer. As there is no such system (like app or website or software system) available in market till date, contractor are able to force customers to finalize their hand drawn design to start the project and expecting there would be some innovation by some startup in this field to change this experience someday. Leading false ceiling brands are focussing on their raw material sales and hence developing such system is not their concern anyways. Now due to the developed system, they can offer it for free as they do not have to put in any time, effort or money. Alternatively, they can ask the client to try out it over the system himself or herself and let the service provider now what they liked and finalized, and share the pdf file with them to refer via WhatsApp or email . The rate part can be edited as per the rate of the vendor (both parties can together negotiate and arrive at a commonly agreed rate) and rest everything remains constant as the space measurement, design square feet calculation are based on universal formula practised in market, not objectionable vendor to vendor. The system has developed & uniquely defined the 3D of false ceiling in such a way that algorithm & formula for calculation of square feet area of a specific design would be unique. Whereas calculating the price of the design which is “rate X square feet area” is standard in all cases. There would be even options for selecting the material brand, type & rate to modify its calculation as per user’s choice.

Figure 3, illustrates multiple components of a 3D model of Dynamic Product in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4, illustrates how the system captures the actual ceiling dimensions & shape and how the false ceiling 3D model appears when placed on actual ceiling view (before its modified). Once user places the selected product to their scanned space, the 3D model of the product (false ceiling design) is placed on it in its original (without modification) shape & size. Here one can observe as how the system captures and reads the actual ceiling view/image and analyse its dimensions & shape (shown by the means of grid lines) with respect to the 3D model of false ceiling placed over (superimposed, as another layer) the actual ceiling view (without changing its original dimensions & shape). This gives a clear understanding of how the actual ceiling is captured compared to the selected false ceiling 3D model. Three options are shown (it can be more of less than three also) where user can place the 3D model whether they want with fingertip or using system-mouse-cursor or at fan centre where the centre of the fan would coincide centre of the fan (fan point in ceiling is defined/located/spotted first) or centre of the ceiling as sometimes the fan point may not be centre of the ceiling. These three are most common needs of the user in general practice.
the product transforms itself and fits to the actual ceiling of the user. Although its transformed, the outer and inner vertical components height remains constant (which can be edited manually with feed but won’t transform itself). Moreover the flat surface area part of the design also won’t change its width, but will expand only its length to fit to the user’s ceiling corners. Whether the client does this modification to the product manually with fingertip or it happens automatically (by selecting auto mode option), the useful & needful functionality of the dynamic product design is that not all its component scale up/down altogether. Which retains the original design look which user wants. Although, user can make modification to the scaled up product now after it’s fitted to ceiling.
In an embodiment, the frame structure appears as a single piece unit, but actually consists of multiple components seamlessly joined together making it look like single piece product. These components of the dynamic product are outer and inner verticals & flat surface areas, each side of the product is a separate piece with its flat surface and outer/inner verticals. As shown in image, Hence for a square shape, tray shape design dynamic SKU (fitting end to end of a user’s ceiling without any gap on ends), it’s has components as 4 outer verticals, 4 inner verticals, 4 flat surface area hence 12 components. Length of all these components would transform (increase or decrease automatically or manually) but width and height remains constant, which is needful.
In another embodiment, a particular false ceiling design is shown here for explanation purpose (whereas there is no limitation of the size & shape otherwise) which is originally 10x10 feet & price Rs 5800 and its surface area as 116 square feet (at rate of 50/square feet), when placed over user’s actual ceiling scan, transforms to 14x12 feet product. Then the price won’t become (5800/(10x10) ) x 14x12. Also the square feet area of this particular false ceiling may become 162 sqft , rather than 100 square feet ( ie 10x10feet), due to the method & formula practiced in market ie (flat surface area width x length) + length of outer vertical+ length of inner vertical = total square feet area which might be less or more than 10x10feet (which is its outer & overall dimensions only).

Figure 5, how the placed 3D model of false ceiling design (square shape,10x0feet size) adapts the actual site shape & dimensions (rectangle shape, 14x12 feet size) and then appears like. Although the false ceiling model has fitted end-to-end to the actual site ceiling view but its outer & inner vertical can be seen unchanged in terms of height whereas the length has adapted the actual site. Similarly it can be observed as how the 10x10 feet 3Dmodelof false ceiling has transformed to 14x12 feet actual ceiling view, still the width of the flat surface components can be observed unchanged (its 4 components remains 18,24,18,24 inches). This is how a user wants to visualize a false ceiling design as per their actual site ceiling where certain components of the designs are expected not be changed unless they modify them intentionally.

Figure 6, illustrates how the 3D model before or after “fit to space” can be modified to get desired result by the user. Here one can observe as how user can also modify any component of this multi-component false ceiling model design either after making it to fit to the actual ceiling view ie 14x12 feet product model or modify the original 10x10 feet product model, to get desired results. The figure 5 and 6 illustrates transformed 14x12 feet ceiling space, now the square feet area of the false ceiling model would be calculated with the help of multi-components of the dynamic product where 2 sides has scaled up from 10feet to 14 feet and 2 sides scaled up from 10feet to 12 feet. Now the flat surface area has new length and old width. The verticals have constant height but length has changed. Hence, first the system will analyse individual area calculation of these components and then add them together to result in new square feet area of this modified dynamic product. Here the price calculation formula remains same as rate x square feet area but what changes is the way total square feet area is calculated for the product before and after transformation as explained above. Also as explained above that square feet area of the product is not equal to its outer length x width, hence once transformed, the formula of new outer dimensions (transformed dimensions) is not applicable.
In an embodiment, if the product model is predefined then it’s has its redefined set of data as specification drawings, square feet area, price calculation and 3D views but once its transformed to a new SKU model ,its data is required to get useful insights, dealing with vendor and execution. Our system uses set of formulas and calculation methods to instantly provide the required data with the help of & because of the multi-components structure of this dynamic model which transforms. Obtaining 3D view and specification sheet of a transformed model is still normal, but getting its square feet area calculation and hence pricing in crucial which we made possible here.
