Abstract

A simulation system includes a display device and a selection unit. The display device shows an image on an exhibit related to a building. The selection unit selects content of the image shown on the exhibit. The selection unit includes a display section that displays information corresponding to the image.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A simulation system, comprising:
a display device that shows an image on an exhibit related to a building; and
a selection tool for a user to select content of the image shown on the exhibit, the selection tool including independent selector panels, an identification information of the image being registered in each of the independent selector panels,
wherein each of the independent selector panels includes a display section that displays information corresponding to the image shown on the exhibit,
wherein each of the independent selector panels includes a radio frequency (RF) tag,
wherein the RF tag includes at least one of information identifying the image shown on the exhibit and cost information corresponding to the image shown on the exhibit,
wherein the display section of the independent selector panel includes a sample image or a sample material corresponding to the image shown on the exhibit,
wherein the sample image is printed on or adhered to the display section of the independent selector panel,
wherein the sample material is adhered to the display section, or the independent selector panel is formed from the sample material, and
wherein each of the independent selector panels is formed from one of a styrene board, a plywood, a medium density fiberboard (MDF), and a cloth.

2. The simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein the display section displays the information using at least one of a sample image corresponding to the image shown on the exhibit and a sample material corresponding to the image.

3. The simulation system according to claim 2 , wherein the sample image includes at least one of a pattern corresponding to the exhibit and an article arranged on the exhibit.

4. The simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein the selection tool is arranged on the exhibit.

5. The simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the independent selector panels is a portable unit.

6. The simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein
the display sections of the independent selectors each display different information.

7. The simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein the exhibit includes a detector that detects the identification information of the image being registered in each of the independent selector panels.

8. The simulation system according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a circuit that refers to a detection result of the detector and shows the image corresponding to the information with the display device.

9. The simulation system according to claim 8 , wherein the circuit refers to the detection result of the detector and selects a display position of the image on the exhibit.

10. The simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein the exhibit is full-scaled.

11. The simulation system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the independent selector panels is formed from a portable material that can be carried by a user.
