Description

User device and method for controlling the same The disclosed invention relates to a user device that recommends home appliances and a method for controlling the same. Currently, many ordinary people living in residential spaces such as houses or apartments are attempting to change the interior and exterior of their living environments to suit their tastes or current trends. Recently, interior design has expanded to include not only residential spaces but also indoor spaces of buildings such as offices, shops, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, cafes, department stores, beauty salons, clothing stores, factories, and schools, and refers to designing indoor spaces using interior finishing materials, furniture, lighting fixtures, home appliances, decorations, and curtains to create a pleasant indoor environment. In other words, interior design refers to analyzing the lifestyles of ordinary people to design spaces that are more attractive and convenient, and to creating a pleasant indoor environment by materializing a wide variety of indoor spaces into appropriate functions and forms. It is common for such interiors to be designed and constructed by specialized interior design firms. In this case, however, interior design firms often construct indoor spaces with uniform designs. Consequently, there is a problem in that users cannot receive interior services tailored to their tastes and personalities. Even if a user presents an interior design that matches their personality and taste to an interior design company, users who are not majoring in interior design may only have a vague idea of their preferred design and may not be able to explain it accurately. When an indoor space is constructed with an interior design that does not reflect the user's intentions, there were inconvenient issues, such as having to repurchase or cancel at least one of the interior finishing materials, furniture, lighting, appliances, or decorations to change the interior design, as well as problems involving additional costs and time consumption due to the changes. One aspect of the disclosed invention relates to a user device and a control method thereof that reconstructs a home appliance based on indoor space image information and distance information with indoor objects, and displays an image of the interior design of the reconstructed indoor space as a simulation image. A user device according to one aspect includes: an image sensor for acquiring an indoor space image of an indoor space; a distance sensor for detecting distances to a plurality of indoor objects within the indoor space; a processor for recognizing environmental element information of the indoor space and identification information of existing home appliances based on at least one of the indoor space image and the distances to a plurality of indoor objects, and reconstructing an interior design of the indoor space based on the recognized environmental element information of the indoor space and identification information of existing home appliances; and a display unit for displaying the interior design of the indoor space as a simulated image. A processor of a user device according to one aspect recognizes operating specification information of an existing home appliance based on identification information of the existing home appliance, recognizes optimal location information of the existing home appliance based on environmental element information of the recognized indoor space, identification information of the existing home appliance, and operating specification information of the existing home appliance, and reconstructs the interior design of the indoor space based on the recognized optimal location information. A processor of a user device according to one aspect controls a display unit to display identification information of multiple home appliances as list information based on the recognition of multiple existing home appliances in an indoor space. A processor of a user device according to one aspect recognizes boundary information of a plurality of indoor objects based on an indoor space image, and recognizes a first object including an existing home appliance based on the recognized boundary information of the plurality of indoor objects. A processor of a user device according to one aspect recognizes a second object excluding existing home appliances based on boundary information of a plurality of recognized indoor objects, and controls a display unit so that the first object and the second object are displayed in different display methods in an indoor space image. A processor of a user device according to one aspect recognizes a recommended appliance among a plurality of new appliances based on identification information of a recognized existing appliance, environmental element information of an indoor space, and identification information of a plurality of new appliances stored in advance, and controls a display unit to display identification information
