2. Description of the Related Art In the past, print collectors often went to a gallery to see a solo exhibition held by a print artist who would like to purchase it, or to go to an art gallery to see a work inventory of a gallery dealing with the work of that print artist. Decide which works you want to purchase by looking at the catalog resone. When the work to be purchased is decided, the gallery that handles the printmaker's work is requested to purchase. If there is a stock in the gallery at that time, you can request a frame and purchase the work. If the gallery does not have the work in stock, you can ask the print artist to print it through the gallery and purchase it. In addition, if the work to be purchased is known by the catalog resone, the mail order can be mail-ordered from a gallery that handles the printmaker's work.

[0003]

I can't do things. If the printmaker's work is not in stock in the gallery, it cannot be seen as well.

[0005] When using mail-order sales, the purchaser is often determined by looking at the catalog resone of the printmaker. However, even in the catalog resone, depending on the printmaker, if the catalog resone itself does not exist,
Not all works may be covered. Furthermore, even if the work you want to purchase is decided, if the edition has already expired at the time of requesting a print maker without the work in the gallery, the work can not be purchased. Also,
Even if the edition remains, it will be a matter for consultation with the gallery and the purchaser, such as the finishing of the work and the framed completion date.

[0006] Furthermore, in mail-order sales, there are cases in which a work must be purchased only by the work name. There is a problem that the work cannot be confirmed enough.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a net work purchasing network system including a communication line, and a customer terminal, a gallery terminal, and a print artist terminal mutually connected to the communication line. A means for accessing and displaying various pieces of work information on print works sent from terminals (gallery terminals and printmaker terminals), and methods for receiving and receiving purchase order information and works for works according to order instructions Means for transmitting the request method information to the gallery terminal, and means for receiving a message from the gallery terminal, the gallery terminal transmits information about the work of the printmaker who is handling, the terminal of the printmaker, Means for linking to a terminal of another related gallery, means for receiving the work purchase order information, the method of receiving the work, and the method of requesting the work payment method, and transmitting the contact information to the customer terminal Including steps and means for sending and receiving communication information that informs the printmaker, the printmaker's terminal transmits information about his work and links to terminals in galleries handling the work and terminals of other related printmakers And a means for transmitting and receiving communication information for communicating necessary information with the gallery.
