DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Before describing embodiments of the present invention,
Hereinafter, the definitions of the terms used in the present invention will be clarified. First, the "clock supply source" includes not only one but also a plurality of clock supply sources. For example, when trading company A provides software to a consumer and maker B produces a clock, trading company A and maker B correspond to the clock supplier. Alternatively, when the trading company A requests the agency company C to provide the component digital information, the agency company C is also included in the clock supplier. Further, the maker B has a plurality of manufacturers B1, B2, B3,. . . It may be.

[0009] The term "consumer" includes not only one consumer but also a plurality of consumers. For example, the consumer A requests the agent B to create watch original design information,
When the consumer A places an order and purchases a clock based on the design of the agent B, both the consumer A and the agent B correspond to the consumer. The “design basic information” is information indicating the basic arrangement and combination of parts digital information, which is determined by the type of watch, and the watch supplier supplies the design basic information by the design software to consumers. Have a means to provide. For example, in the case of a wristwatch, the case has two bands.
Basic information such as the actual connection or the arrangement of an hour hand and a minute hand on the front side of the dial. Since the consumer can create the watch original design information based on the basic design information, the consumer can easily create the original design information. Therefore, the selection of the timepiece components does not leak. If you prepare some more custom samples and let the consumer replace the components of the custom sample with the parts of your choice,
This is effective because the creation of the watch original design information becomes easy for the consumer.

[0010] The "clock components" are various components of the clock determined by the type of the clock. For example, in the case of a wristwatch, a case, a watch band, a buckle, a dial, a hand, a river, and the like are shown. The clock component may be a component that determines its appearance or a component that determines its function. "Information and communication means" refers to advertisements published in newspapers and magazines, advertisements published in cars such as trains and buses, advertisements via television and radio, and information manually sent by mail or telephone. It shall include any existing means of communicating or communicating information to consumers, such as the Internet.

[0011] "Information providing means" means means such as mailing. In addition, "information and communication network"
Such as the Internet and personal computer communications,
Include any network that communicates information to consumers. Although the present embodiment is a watch, any watch may be used as long as a consumer can select a component part of the product. For example, accessories such as clothes and ties, ornaments such as necklaces and rings, passenger cars, motorcycles, furniture, and the like are included. Further, it is also possible to make the original design of the layout and interior of the house by the consumer. Further, the consumer may design the audio product such as a stereo or an amplifier in an original manner.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flowchart (part 1) of the basic operation of the present invention. In this example, the clock supplier is a clock maker. That is, this is a case where a consumer creates a watch design that matches his or her taste. As described in detail below, a watch manufacturer provides design basic information for a watch original design to consumers over an information and communication network, and the consumer returns the watch's original design information over the same network. It is.

First, a watch maker (M) as a watch supplier supplies a watch design creation service to an information communication network (for example, the Internet (24H service)).
(Step S1). When notified, the consumer can send the watch manufacturer internet,
Request design software and part digital information by e-mail or the like (S2).

[0014] The component digital information includes, in addition to information provided by a watch maker as a watch supplier, component digital information created independently by a consumer. In this case, a digital image taken by a digital camera is used. Or a digital image obtained by reading a photograph with a scanner. Next, the watch maker provides the consumers with digital parts that can be provided and design software (or design basic information based on the design software) for combining the digital information with the consumers on the network (S3). Consumers who have received the design software (or design basic information from the design software) use the design software and the parts digital information, and in some cases, combine the parts digital information created by the consumer to complete the watch. The original design information is created (S4). At this time,
The consumer can select a material of the clock component, select an additional function to be added to the clock component, and select a function included in the clock (S4 '). In addition, these digitally processed component digital information allows the consumer himself to perform so-called "trimming", i.e., enlarge, reduce, move, overlap, and the like. Then, the consumer sends the original design information to the watch maker via the network, and requests the manufacture of the watch (S5).

Next, the watch maker produces a watch according to the original data recorded in the original design information received from the consumer (S6). The consumer can monitor the creation status of the watch maker through the network (S6 '). Then, the watch maker provides the consumer with the completed watch (S7). Here, FIG.
As explained in 0, the watch maker checks the color tone of the dial for the applicant, taking into account that only the color of the dial is slightly different from the color on the display screen and the actual color of the created dial. I do.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart (part 2) of the basic operation of the present invention. In this example, basic design information is temporarily stored in a recording medium and provided to a consumer, and the consumer returns the original design information on a floppy disk (FD). First, the watch maker (M) provides a watch design creation service to the consumer (C) via an information communication network (for example, the Internet (24H service)).
Is notified (S11). Upon receiving the notification, the consumer requests the watch manufacturer for the design software and the digital information of the parts via the Internet, an e-mail, an envelope or the like (S1).
2). Next, the watch maker sends to the consumer a recording medium (e.g., a CD-ROM) storing the component digital information that can be provided to the consumer and design software (or design basic information based on the design software) for combining the digital information. (S13).

The consumer who receives the CD-ROM sets the provided CD-ROM in his / her own device and uses the stored design software to supply the supplied part digital information and, if necessary, Digital information of parts created by consumers (for example, a dial with a unique message)
To create original design information (S
14). At this time, the consumer can select a material of the clock component, select an additional function to be added to the clock component, and select a function included in the clock (S14 '). Then, the consumer records the original design information on a floppy disk, sends it to a watch maker, and requests the manufacture of the watch (S15).

Next, the watch maker produces a watch according to the original data recorded on the floppy disk received from the consumer (S16). In addition, the consumer who requested the production can monitor the creation status of the watch maker through the Internet. Then, the watch maker provides the consumer with the completed watch (S17). In addition,
The consumer can monitor the creation status of the wristwatch ordered by the consumer at the watch maker through an information communication network such as the Internet (S1).
6 ').

Specifically, there are the following methods. That is, the watch maker inputs the creation status of the wristwatch ordered by the consumer on the Internet homepage for each consumer. This creation status data is given the name and telephone number of the consumer as keywords for search. As a result, the consumer can access the homepage of the watch maker and obtain the creation status data of the watch ordered by using his / her name and telephone number. Here, for example, the following 3
The stage, that is, the order watch has been received, the order watch is being created, and the order watch has been sent, may be displayed. Further, when the steps are displayed in multiple stages, the consumer can more clearly know the creation status.

FIG. 3 is a basic operation flowchart on the consumer side receiving a recording medium from a watch maker. That is, step S14 is embodied. The following steps are for C as a recording medium provided by the watch manufacturer.
Control program in D-ROM (see number 1 in FIG. 13)
It is performed based on. Also, as described later, the CD-RO
M includes dial design information, guide information, case information, color information, watch band information, buckle information, time character information, frame information, order information, and other information (for example, message information) as part design information that can be selected by the consumer. ) Are recorded (see number 2 in FIG. 13).

The order information includes the name of the consumer,
Information relating to the consumer himself, such as an address, a telephone number, and the like, and order information indicating which and how many watches should be ordered among several watches of the original design stored by means described later are recorded. The recorded name and telephone number serve as an address for monitoring the creation status of the watch ordered by the consumer himself via the Internet.

In FIG. 3, "clock workshop" is first displayed on the screen (see FIG. 14), and a main menu is displayed (S21). Next, an image check is performed (S
22). The image check asks three questions. For example, in response to the question "What is your play field?"
“Outdoor” or “town” is selected (see FIG. 15).
Next, a custom sample is selected (S23). That is,
With the following operation, you can select the dial, hands, case, color, etc. to make your own original watch. That is, the consumer designs an original clock in the “clock studio” on the screen (FIGS. 16 to 29). Next, the clock created on the custom screen is saved (S24). In the present embodiment, the clock has a maximum of three.
Up to the number can be stored (FIG. 30). Saving is performed by clicking (Save). Then, an order data creation screen is displayed (S25). Further, an order amount confirmation screen is displayed (FIGS. 32 and 33).

FIG. 12 is a system configuration diagram of the present invention.
The Internet is used as an information communication network. For example, when the consumer 1 of the subscribers (1 to N) who are consumers is charged via the Internet to the host computer H of the clock maker which is the clock supplier, the consumer who is requested by the CD-ROM from the clock maker is charged. 1 is provided. The consumer 1 creates an original design timepiece according to the above-described procedure, records the timepiece on a floppy disk (FD), and sends it to the timepiece maker.

A watch maker produces and completes an original watch and sends it to the consumer. Although ME indicates a memory built in the host computer, it may be an external memory. In this memory, a control program for causing the computer to operate the clock design creation system is recorded. In FIG. 12, as shown by a dotted line,
Instead of providing the CD-ROM to the consumer, the watch maker uses design software (or basic design information based on the design software) having the same contents as the CD-ROM by using the Internet, or by using another method. Offer to consumers. Further, the same contents can be sent to the watch maker using the Internet as original design information without sending the FD from the consumer.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram of the contents of a recording medium used in the present invention. This recording medium is provided from the watch maker to the consumer, and the CD-ROM in FIG. 12 corresponds to this. Number 2 is the component digital information. As part digital information, dial information (diagram graphic information), pointer information, case information, color information, watch band information, buckle information, time character information, frame information, order information, message information as other information, etc. Has been recorded. The number 1 records a control program required for component selection, trimming, and the like.

In other words, in the CD-ROM, in addition to the component digital information, design software that allows the consumer to select design information from a watch maker, or the consumer himself or her own frame (one-point picture) or graphic Also, design software for creating (drafts on the dial), enlarging, reducing, moving, and superimposing them in accordance with the size of the dial, that is, so-called “trimming” is stored. After trimming, the consumer stores it on a floppy disk and sends it to a watch maker.

FIG. 37 is a display diagram of a basic clock pattern, showing three types of basic clock patterns selectable by a consumer (customer). Each has a different case design,
Differences in case material, differences in price, etc. Although the number of basic patterns is three in this example, it can be increased or decreased.
