Next, a procedure for creating a papercraft download page in the papercraft data construction apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart for creating a papercraft download page.
First, prior to this flow, the paper craft data construction device 100, for example, from a product seller who is an administrator of the device, a product for which development of paper craft development map data is desired via the input device of the paper craft data construction device 100. The specification of is accepted.

  Upon receipt of the designation of the product, the papercraft data construction device 100 uses the identifier of the designated product (for example, the product number) as a key from the 3D data storage unit 220 for product introduction in the 3D data capture unit 110. The 3D data file of the product is read and taken into the apparatus (S10). In parallel with this, the paper craft data construction device 100 reads information on the dimensions and mass of the product from the product information data storage unit 210 using the specified product identifier as a key in the product information linkage unit 117. Then, the dimensional information is output to the paper craft developing unit 115, and the mass information is output to the weight converting unit 118.

Next, in the paper craft data construction device 100, the format conversion unit 111 performs format conversion of the captured product 3D data file to generate 3D basic data (S12).
Subsequently, in the papercraft data construction device 100, the 3D simplification unit 113 simplifies the generated 3D basic data to generate 3D simplified data (S14). At this time, when the simplification level is set from the merchandise seller via the input device of the paper craft data construction device 100, the 3D simplification unit 113 simplifies the 3D base data at the designated simplification level. To do.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining creation of 3D simplified data. In the case of the 3D base data 131 having the corners of the four-surface configuration, the 3D simplification unit 113 sets the corners of the four-surface configuration to 3 when the simplified level of the difficulty level of the paper craft assembly work is set. The 3D simplified data 141 simplified to the surface configuration is generated. On the other hand, when the simplification level of the low difficulty level is set for the paper craft assembly work, the 3D simplification unit 113 cuts two surfaces of the corner portion of the four-surface configuration to simplify the two-surface configuration. Simplified data 142 is generated.
Due to the difference in simplification level, the development of the paper craft changes, so the difficulty level of the paper craft assembly work also changes. An example is shown in FIG.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B are diagrams for explaining the difference in the development data depending on the difficulty level setting of the 3D simplified data. 6 (a) and 6 (b) are development data obtained by simplifying the 3D base data of the cylinder and developing the paper craft. The development view data 153 in FIG. 6A is obtained by converting 3D simplified data into development view data at a simplified level with a high degree of difficulty in paper craft assembly work. On the other hand, the development data 154 in FIG. 6B is obtained by converting 3D simplification data into development data at a simplified level with a low level of difficulty in paper craft assembly work. In the development data 153 shown in FIG. 6 (a), the column part of the cylinder must be bent many times during the papercraft assembly, whereas in the development data 154 shown in FIG. 6 (b), the column part of the cylinder is shown. A paper craft can be assembled by bending it several times.

  Subsequently, the papercraft data construction apparatus 100 constructs a papercraft development diagram by converting the 3D simplified data generated through the above simplification into 2D development data in the papercraft development unit 115 ( S16). At this time, when the papercraft data construction apparatus 100 converts the 3D simplified data of the product into the development view data using the dimension information acquired from the product information cooperation unit 117, the development view fits in a predetermined paper size. If it does not fit, the size is adjusted.

  In addition, the paper craft data construction device 100 determines whether the mass of the product can be converted into the mass of a predetermined coin based on the mass information acquired from the product information cooperation unit 117 in the weight conversion unit 118. (S18). Here, for example, coins of 1 yen, 5 yen, 10 yen, 50 yen, 100 yen, and 500 yen can be used as the predetermined coin. In addition, conversion means that a plurality of these coins are combined and the total mass is set to a value that is the same as or close to the product mass, and whether or not conversion is possible is determined by the total number of coins being predetermined. It is determined based on whether or not a threshold value (for example, 50 sheets) is exceeded.

If the product mass can be converted into coins (Yes in S18), the weight conversion unit 118 outputs a coin hole formation instruction to the paper craft development unit 115, and constructs a Web page using the combination of each coin as a coin conversion result. The data is output to the unit 119 (S20).
Thereafter, the paper craft data construction device 100 uses the web page construction unit 119 to read the 3D simplified data read from the 3D simplified data storage unit 114, the development drawing data read from the development drawing data storage unit 116, and the weight conversion unit. Using the coin conversion result output from 118, a paper craft download page is created by HTML (S22), the created paper craft download page is transmitted to the WWW page publishing unit 310, and the processing operation is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the coin conversion of the product mass is not possible (No in S18), the papercraft data construction device 100 does not output the coin hole formation instruction and the coin conversion result in the weight conversion unit 118, and does not output the coin conversion result in the web page construction unit 119. Using the 3D simplified data read from the 3D simplified data storage unit 114 and the development drawing data read from the development drawing data storage unit 116, a paper craft download page is created by HTML (S22), and the created paper craft download is performed. The page is transmitted to the WWW page disclosure unit 310, and the processing operation is terminated.
