Various modes such as a dedicated line and a subscriber line (dial-up connection) are possible for connection with the Internet 50.

In this example, it is assumed that the merchandise store 20 is, for example, a restaurant and does not provide a food delivery service on its own. The delivery of food and the like at the merchandise store 20 is performed by a nearby delivery station 30. In addition, due to the nature of the product, the system can only receive orders from nearby orderers. This will be described later. Although only one handling store 20 and one delivery station 30 are shown in the figure, there are usually a plurality of shops and distribution stations 30 distributed in each area. It should be noted that there may be a merchandise handling store 20 that performs the merchandise delivery service on its own, and in this case, the delivery station 30 is basically irrelevant for that store 20.

The commodity order site 10 has a web server 1
00, an application server 101, a database management system 102, a mail server 103, a fax server 104, a router 105, and the like. The web server 100 provides an interface for receiving a product order. The application server 101 processes information exchanged via the web server 100 and the like. If the web server 100 has sufficient processing capability, a processing program such as a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) of the web server 100 may be used instead of the application server 101. Main processes executed by the application server 101 are a member authentication process 10a and a product order receiving process 10b. The database management system 102 manages a database related to the processing of the application server 101. The database includes a member information database 106, a sales information database 107, and a community information database 10 used for a bulletin board service and the like.
8 and so on. The database management system 102 also manages information on the store 20 and information on the delivery station 30 associated with the store 20 (for example, when a corresponding delivery station is unnecessary, a null value is given).

The embodiment has been described above. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified. For example, in the above embodiment, HTML or XM
L is used to receive orders for home delivery via the Internet using the web page of L. However, we use Internet orders and printed materials of home delivery information (distribution to each home or office, or free, paid periodicals). Sales can be further improved if linked to the delivery order that has been delivered, and it is easy for users to handle. Therefore, it is desired to share the contents of the web on the Internet with the contents of the seal crop, to facilitate the production, and to synchronize the updating of the contents. The material production system may be linked to a web system or a printing system, and the meaning of the information may be given by an XML tag so that data can be exchanged between the production system, the web system, and the printing system.

As described above, when the store 20 can also perform delivery, the store 20 is irrelevant to the delivery station 30.
The processing of an order to such a store is also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

Further, the XML print data corresponding to the web document described in XML and the printed material is, for example, X for conversion.
SLT is used to create a new web document using the difference data between the previous and current documents. Further, the difference data is converted by XSLT to generate difference data for printed matter, and this is used to create a new difference document. Print data can be generated. Of course, the difference of the web document may be generated from the difference of the print data, and the print data and the web document may be similarly updated.
