The present invention may be a method, a system, and/or a computer program product. An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for paraphrasing, on a client computer, text in a webpage, the method comprising the following: transferring a request for a webpage including a plurality of passages of text to a server; receiving the webpage from the server in response to the request; judging whether or not the received webpage has text which is a subject of paraphrase; in a case where the judgment is positive, paraphrasing the text; and displaying, on a display, the webpage including the paraphrased text. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for updating on a server, text in a webpage, the method comprising the following: receiving, from each of the devices, a set of URLs of a webpage, a location path of text which is a subject of paraphrase in the webpage, and paraphrased text; and replacing text in the webpage with text among the received text.

Paraphrasing text in a webpage

A request for a route guide to a destination in a building is received from a user terminal device. BIM data for the building is received, including material properties of the building elements, the material properties consisting of ease of slipping when wet, earthquake resistance, and flame retardancy base values. Security information for a route, real-time information for building status, and a user profile are received. A route guide to the destination in the building is created, based the BIM data, security information, real-time building status, and the user profile. Information from one or more environmental sensors is received indicating that an environmental event has been detected. Its current position is received from the user terminal device. The route guide from the user terminal device's current position is updated based on the environmental event, and the material properties of the building elements that are related to the environmental event.

Providing a route guide using building information modeling (BIM) data

Providing a route guide to a destination using building information modeling (BIM) data. A request from a user for a route guide to a destination in a building is received. BIM data for the building, security information for a route, and a user profile of the user that requested the route guide to the destination is received. A route guide to the destination in the building is created, based at least on the BIM data, security information, and the user profile. Creating the route guide may be further based on use restriction information, including time, weight, operation, impassable information, information related to the method of using the facility equipment, or precaution information when using the facility equipment. The route guide may include a method of using the facility equipment in the building, a method of operating, a direction of operation, a method of unlocking or locking, or precaution information.
