The firewall means 104b is composed of hardware and software for protecting the information assets inside the design server 104 at the time of information exchange using the Internet network 100, and blocking the inflow of harmful information from the outside. For example, an illegal information leakage is protected by a program that restricts external access by using an IP address, a user authentication number, and a port number.

The controller 104c collectively controls the design server 104, and executes the processes by running the application program 104d for self-design registration and production according to the input data.

If the processes are represented in IDEF (Information DEFinition) notation as shown in Figure 6, it can be described by writing as input data (I), application (C), output data (O), performer (M).

Input data is input data to perform a process, and is divided into data input by a system and data input by a designer and a purchaser.

The application program (Control) is a control program for building a design database, self-design production, and order production that are applied during the execution of a process.

Mechanism means an executor who provides user input data to a process and verifies output data, and becomes a designer, buyer, print shop operator and site operator.

The application program 104d is programs for executing various processes that enable self-design registration and production according to the present invention.

That is, the application program 104d includes a program for building the design database 107, a program for executing the self design logo, a program for customizing the self design, and the like.

Then, the mail server 105 performs a role of transmitting the mail to a designated address. In the present invention, the buyer self-designs and then transmits the design information and purchaser information requested for purchase to the address of the print shop computer.

The member information database 106 stores personal information of designer members, buyer members, and print shop members, and various self-design production related information such as design registration, purchase, and printing.

The design database 107 stores design information registered by a designer member.

The design information is stored in the design database 107 by a process for design registration as shown in Figs. 18 to 20. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 20, industry category information of a design input by a designer and a matching font Information, descriptive information about the design image, and information about the design alignment position are stored together with the designed alphabet, alphabet / vowel or syllable data.

The design database 107 stores, together with design information, information on which the design server 104 operator evaluates image characteristics with respect to designs for alphabets, letters / vowels or syllables registered by a designer, and a buyer selects a design. It is used as a reference. Image characteristics are evaluated by counting the advanced / independent, international / deliverable, flexible / durable, fashion / topicality of design.

Next, a general operation method of the self design site by the self design production system shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2.

First, a self design production site operator builds a design database 107 to provide a service for self design production (step 201).

The design database 107 may be constructed by a method in which a site administrator directly stores design information created by the site operator. In this case, the design database 107 takes not only a long time and effort but also design data. There is a disadvantage in that the variety of designs stored in the base 107 is lacking. Therefore, it is effective to construct the design database 107 by registering the designs created by not only the site administrator but also external designers and paying a certain royalty fee according to the sales status of these designs. to be.

If the menu for logo making is selected by the purchaser member after the design database 107 is established, the menu information for selecting a design specification is transmitted to the purchaser computer 102, Receives the design specification selection information entered by the buyer, searches the design database 107 according to the design conditions determined by the buyer, and combines and changes the searched design data with the trade name entered by the buyer to reflect the buyer's intention. The process of fabricating is executed (step 202).

When a plurality of design logos which have executed the process of step 202 are detected, the logos sequentially designed according to the buyer key input are transmitted to the purchaser computer 102, and the buyer designs the logo design if the desired logo design exists. After selecting, enter data for purchase (step 203).

The design information and the buyer information determined by the purchaser computer 102 are stored in the design database 107 and the member information database 106 (step 204).

Then, the design information and the buyer information self-designed by the buyer are sent by the mail server 105 to the print shop computer 103 (step 205), and the print shop prints according to the design information sent from the design server 104. The operation is performed and the printed product is mailed to the purchaser who makes a purchase request to the design server 104 (step 206). Then, the purchaser pays the operator of the design server 104 the design use amount and the cost of producing the design article, and the operator of the design server 104 pays a certain amount to the designer and the print shop operator who registered the purchased design again. (Step 207).

Next, the construction step (step 201) of the design database 107 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3.

First, when the designer computer 101 is connected to the design server 104 via the Internet network 100, the design server 104 transmits home page information of the self design production site as shown in FIG.

Home page information includes site introduction menu, CI, BI case study menu, design logo success case menu, information square menu, consultation room menu, bulletin board menu, design bank menu, site map menu, logo making menu, custom menu, and free service menu. And the like.

Description information for introducing a site as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is connected to the site introduction menu in a hyperlink format, and the design server 104 is shown in the CI and BI success case menus as shown in FIGS. 10, 12, 13, and 14. ) Design success stories known by the operator are linked in hyperlinked form.

The information square menu is a corner for providing information related to office rental, venture company status, trademark registration Q / A, and the Small and Medium Business Administration to the user of the self design site as shown in FIG.

As shown in Fig. 15, the consultation room menu prepares a window for inputting contents desired by the site user for design consultation.

The bulletin board menu is a corner that provides various information related to the design posted by the members as shown in FIG. 16.

In this home page information, when the designer selects the design bank menu to register the created design in the design database 107, menu screen information for guiding designer registration is output as shown in FIG. When the user clicks the check box after inputting the personal information of the designer through the input window shown in FIG. 18, menu screen information for design registration as shown in FIG. 18 is output.

Then, the designer inputs the registered ID and password (PASSWORD) to execute the member login (step 301).

Then, it is determined whether the menu selection data input by the designer is data for registering or modifying the design (step 302), and when the designer wants to register the created design, the designer uses the mark theme input window. Input the subject for the design mark to be registered, attach the design data to be registered in a file format, and input the attached file name and the size of the file (step 306). In addition, design information such as a character name of a design to be registered, a code name of the character, and a picture file of different colors is input by the menu information shown in FIG.

Then, through the menu screen information shown in FIG. 20, if the industry category suitable for the registered design, image property input, font information and design use price information (not shown in FIG. 20) that matches well with the registered design, etc. are inputted, The input design related information is output (steps 307 to 310).

If the correct item is selected by the designer (step 311), the process returns to step 306 and the above steps are repeated. Otherwise, when the completed item is selected, various data input by the designer are displayed. If it is determined that the specification is satisfied (step 312), the method returns to step 306 if the specification is not satisfied, and executes the steps of inputting the design information again. 107 and (step 313).

If the design modification menu is selected as a result of the determination in step 302, the designer's own design information registered in the design database 107 is output and displayed (step 303), and the design data modified by the designer is received and received. The design information stored in the base 107 is modified, and the designer can receive and view his or her design sales status if desired (steps 304 and 305).

In this way, the design information input by the registered member designer is stored in the design database 107.

Next, the steps (steps 202 and 203) of executing the self design by the purchaser computer and purchasing the selected design logo will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In the case where the purchaser computer 101 accesses the design server 104, the process of transmitting home page information is the same as described in FIG. 3, and is omitted. When the logo making item is clicked in the home page information, FIGS. As described above, a description of the punishment law applied when the copyright of the logo bank is infringed is posted, and in the case of a new member, a menu screen for inducing membership is output as shown in FIG. 24. The member subscriber goes to the screen of FIG. 25 and enters the ID and password to execute the purchaser member login (step 401).

After completing the member login, the company name of the logo to be produced is input through an input window as shown in FIG. 26 (step 402), and the type of font to be used is selected from the list box (step 403).

Then, menu screen information for selecting a character to be emphasized is output from the inputted company letter as shown in FIG. 27, and the buyer inputs data for selecting the character to be emphasized (step 404).

Next, menu screen information for selecting a business type of a company to be used by a buyer is output as shown in FIG. 28, and the industry type selection data input by the buyer is transmitted.

As such, when a buyer inputs a company name and a business name to be emphasized among the company name and company name to design the logo, the design server 104 analyzes the buyer input data transmitted from the buyer computer 102 and then design database ( 107) retrieves and outputs design information of letters to be emphasized that meet the conditions entered by the buyer, and the controller 104c converts the design extracted from the design database 107 and the trade name entered by the buyer into the corresponding font. Combined later, as shown in FIG. 29, the designed logo results are sent to the purchaser computer (step 406). At this time, the evaluation of the design for each logo design result is digitized and output to the buyer to help design selection.

If there are a large number of types of design letters to be emphasized in the design database selected by the buyer in the design database 107, the design logo letters are sequentially extracted and applied to the trade name entered by the buyer to the buyer's request. Therefore, the output is sequentially. Then, the buyer selects the desired logo design from the self-designed output logo design, and then executes the color change of the part to be emphasized or the combination of the top and bottom of the logo mark to finally determine the logo design suitable for the company image as shown in FIG. 30. As shown, the final logo design result determined by the purchaser himself is output with the symbolic meaning based on the design evaluation (step 407).

As such, after the buyer has finished making the logo design, it is determined whether to purchase the selected design.

Accordingly, the design server 104 determines whether the order item is clicked on the menu screen of FIG. 30 (step 408), and when the order item is clicked, the buyer makes a purchaser information and an order production through the menu screen shown in FIG. After inputting the contents, when the buyer pays the copyright fee for the design, the design information selected by the buyer is stored in the design database 107 and used as design print shop material (step 409).

In the design server 104 to which the present invention is applied, the design logo is changed by changing only the font of letters to be highlighted among the input name using known fonts in addition to the paid design production service for the self logo design production as shown in FIG. 4. It is possible to provide a free design production service for producing, which is shown in Figures 32 to 38. The free design production method is the same as the paid design production method. Only the letters to be emphasized are searched and used for the creative design information registered by the designer in the paid design production service. The only difference is that only fonts can be retrieved and used.

When the purchaser member selects an order, according to the free design production service, as shown in FIG. 39, several types of logos of the purchaser member self-designed are added to the business card, letterhead, and envelope (Fig. 40 to Fig. 44) is printed to the buyer and made available to buyer members for free.

In addition, in order to enable the purchaser member to use the monogram design, the user selects the monogram design through the screens shown in FIGS. 45 and 46, and the animated GIF state of the business cards, templates, etc., and the mark on the e-mail. This allows for the use of personal signatures instead.

Next, a process (step 205 to step 207) of finally producing a self logo design by a buyer computer and applying a design applied for purchase to the buyer member will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5. .

If a purchase order member inputs a self-designed logo to a design server 104, a product manufacturing request using a mail server 105 to a print shop computer 103 contracted with an operator of the design server 104 is provided. Is sent by email (step 501).

Then, the print shop computer 103 connects to the design server 104, and receives the design information from the design server 104 which requested the product production request and the buyer information requested to produce the product (step 502).

Then, the print shop computer 103 outputs the received design information and applies it to the product requested by the purchaser to produce the product (step 503).

Then, after mailing the product produced by the buyer's selected design to the buyer (step 504), the product production price is directly received from the buyer or paid through the design server 104 operator (step 505). ).

According to the above method, the designer member registers the created design in the design server 104, and the copyright of the design can be recognized, and the royalties can be paid according to the purchase amount of the design. You can directly change the letters and colors that you want to emphasize, the category of the industry, the location of the logo, and check the design results for them, determine the design that best suits your company's name, and execute the product order on the Internet. It became possible.

As described above, according to the present invention, the designer registers the created design and pays the registered copyright fee according to the quantity purchased to induce the design registration, and the buyer directly expresses the letter, color, and type of business that he or she emphasizes on the trade name. First, designers can create their own designs by supporting the program on a design server that allows you to change the categories, logo positions, and so forth, while checking the design output for it and allowing you to decide for yourself which design best suits your company's image. Not only can be widely promoted, but also a copyright fee can be paid in proportion to the purchase quantity. Not only can you dramatically reduce costs Instead, the designers can directly compare the designs of many designers stored in the design database while changing the design that best suits their company's image. As a result, the purchaser automatically delivers design specifications and purchaser information about the ordered design product to the print shop through the Internet, thereby reducing the time and effort for producing the product.
