System and Method for Generation of a Room Model
First Claim
1. A method for generating a floor plan of a room comprising:
- receiving with a gesture input device in the mobile electronic device a plurality of strokes corresponding to walls in a room;
generating with a controller in the mobile electronic device an approximate floor plan of the room with reference to the plurality of strokes;
receiving with the gesture input device an input gesture that selects one wall in the approximate floor plan for measurement;
receiving with the controller measurement data from a range finder corresponding to a dimension of the selected one wall;
modifying with the controller the approximate floor plan with reference to the measurement data from the range finder; and
generating with a display in the mobile electronic device a graphical display of the modified floor plan of the room.

Abstract
A method for generating a floor plan of a room uses a mobile electronic device and a range finder to produce approximate and modified floor plans. The method includes receiving a plurality of strokes corresponding to walls in a room with a gesture input device, generating an approximate floor plan of the room based on the strokes, generating an approximate floor plan of the room with reference to the plurality of strokes, receiving an input gesture corresponding to one wall in the approximate floor plan of the room for measurement, receiving measurement data from a range finder corresponding to a dimension of the selected one wall, modifying the approximate floor plan with reference to the measurement data from the range finder, and generating with a display of the modified floor plan of the room.

11. A system for generating a model of a room comprising:
-
a range finder; and a mobile electronic device operatively connected to the range finder, the mobile electronic device comprising; a display device; a gesture input device configured to receive input gestures from an operator; and a controller operatively connected to the display device, the gesture input device, and the range finder, the controller being configured to; receive with the gesture input device a plurality of strokes corresponding to walls in a room; generate an approximate floor plan of the room from the plurality of strokes; receive with the gesture input device an input gesture that selects one wall in the approximate floor plan of the room for measurement; receive measurement data from the range finder corresponding to a dimension of the one wall; modify the approximate floor plan of the room with reference to the measurement data from the range finder; and display the modified floor plan of the room with the display device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20)
