In the notebook specification database 32, when receiving an order from the same customer a plurality of times, at least a part of the notebook specification data can be diverted between the orders. Specifically, the notebook specification database 32 includes a common specification data storage unit that stores common specification data commonly specified in a plurality of orders received from the same customer,
An order unique specification data storage unit that stores order unique specification data that is uniquely set for each order. For example, in FIG. 6C, the calendar template data is the common specification data, the calendar start date data,
Calendar period data or the like can be used as order-specific specification data. In this case, the calendar template data storage unit that stores the calendar template data for each customer functions as a common specification data storage unit. Further, the calendar start date data storage unit and the calendar period data storage unit function as the order-specific data storage unit. In this way, the customer can reuse the once set calendar template many times, and there is no need to set the template for each order, and the labor can be greatly reduced. Note that which of the specification types may be the order-specific specification data and which may be the common specification data may be determined according to the customer's input. For example, among the order specification data stored in the order specification database 32 in an order prior to the time of a new order, the order specification data registered or updated in the new order is set as the order-specific data and registered or updated. Instead of this, the order specification data that uses the previous one may be used as the common specification data. For example, the order specification data input on the notebook use information input screen as shown in FIG. 11 is used as order-specific data, and the order specification data of the specification type that is left blank and is not input is used as the common specification data. You may do it. In addition, defaults may be set in advance and the specifications left blank by the new registrant may be used as order specification data.

When the above configuration is adopted, the input means such as the mouse 3 and the keyboard 2 will function as the order-specific specification data input means for inputting the order-specific specification data, and the CPU 12 will newly input the order-specific specification data. It also serves as an order-specific data registration means for storing and registering the specification data in the order-specific specification data storage means.

Further, at least a part of the management device 700 or the customer side terminal device 703 is provided with common specification data setting means for setting new common specification data, and the CPU 1
2 may function as common specification data updating means for updating the common specification data stored in the common specification data storage means based on the new common specification data set. In this way, by making it possible to update the common specification data independently of the order-specific specification data, it is possible to collect the data with a high frequency of data update and the data with a low frequency of data update. It is possible to easily discriminate between those that should be set for each and those that do not need to be changed so much once set.

Further, the notebook specification data is made up of a set of element data that respectively defines a plurality of specification elements forming the overall specification. For each specification element item, specifications different from each other regarding the specification element of the item are specified. A plurality of types of element data to be defined are prepared, and a basic specification plan in which the element data of each item is set as a set with a predetermined combination and a plurality of basic specification plan data are stored in different element data combinations A database may be prepared and a desired one may be selected from the database. For example, one set of standard plans may be prepared, and size, cover cover material, calendar specifications, etc. may be set as predetermined as the basic specification plan data. If the specifications are set in advance according to the plan in this way, it becomes a convenient function for customers who are troubled to set the specifications in detail. Then, at least a part of the element data included in the basic specification plan data thus set may be updated. In this way, it is possible to use the basic specification plan data for the most part and customize only a part.

The computer-readable program means the computer program itself that can be used by a computer, but the present invention provides a recording medium in which such a computer program is stored in a computer-readable state. You can also understand.
