Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, an outline of a service (hereinafter referred to as “the service”) to which the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention (see FIG. 7 described later) is applied will be described. do.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of the service to which the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied.
2 to 4 are diagrams showing the contents of each of the six elements of FIG. 1.

This service is a service that can be realized by an information processing system to which the server 1 managed by the service provider G is applied. Users who can use this service include customer C, manufacturer M, and creator H.
Customer C is a person who orders the production of bread by OEM from service provider G.
The manufacturer M is a person who receives an order from the customer C through the service provider G and manufactures bread. In this embodiment, the manufacturer M and the creator H are clearly separated and managed. However, it should be noted that if a predetermined person who is the creator H can manufacture the bread (creature of the creator H) ordered by the customer C, the predetermined person can be the manufacturer M. Is.
Creator H is a creator of bread having a predetermined form (hereinafter, also appropriately referred to as "visual") regarding a shape, a pattern, a color, or a combination thereof. Here, the creation of bread means that the bread has reached a state where it can be guaranteed that the bread can actually be produced so as to have the predetermined form based on the predetermined recipe. Bread "recipe" refers to information on the raw materials for producing a given bread and the manufacturing method such as formulation and procedure. Specifically, for example, information such as the name of bread, the material required for production and the amount thereof, time, cooking utensils, procedure, storage period, and whether or not freezing is possible is included. Creator H may include not only bread makers and bread makers, but also housewives, entertainers, and other people who do not manufacture bread as a business.

Here, the bread created by the creator H is stored and managed in the work DB181 as a copyrighted work of the creator H. Here, a bread work is an intellectual property defined by visuals (mainly shapes), raw materials and formulations, and manufacturing methods, as will be described later with reference to FIG.
Specifically, for example, when creator H creates bread having a predetermined visual, each of the visual and the recipe (information on raw materials and formulations, and manufacturing method) is registered in this service as his own copyrighted work. Make an application to do so. The service provider G who received the application conducts a predetermined examination and decides "permission" or "rejection" for the application. Then, when the "permission" is decided, the applied work is registered in this service.

When ordering the production of bread by OEM from the service provider G, the customer C uses this service to determine the specifications of the target bread (hereinafter, referred to as “production target bread”).
Here, the "specification" includes all the information necessary for receiving an order for manufacturing the bread to be manufactured. For example, bread type, visual (shape, size, color, branding iron, etc.), recipe, taste, country of origin and type of base material, quantity, production scale, manufacturing concept, ordering conditions are all manufacturing targets. Included in the "specifications" of barrel bread.
Specifically, the specifications of the bread to be manufactured are determined by the customer C by determining the six elements (elements (1) to (6)) required for manufacturing the bread to be manufactured. Customer C determines the specifications of the bread to be manufactured, which he / she imagines, simply by performing an operation of selecting an option for determining each of the elements (1) to (6), which is sequentially displayed on the customer terminal 2. can do.

When using this service, customer C operates the dedicated application software (hereinafter referred to as "dedicated application") installed on the customer terminal 2 that enables the use of this service.
Customer C can also use this service by accessing a dedicated website (hereinafter referred to as "dedicated site") that enables the use of this service, which is displayed by the browser function of customer terminal 2. Can be done.
Hereinafter, "customer C operates customer terminal 2" means that customer C uses this service from a dedicated application or a dedicated site.

FIG. 1 shows a step for determining each of the six elements (1) to (6) required for determining the specifications of the bread to be produced. By various operations of the customer terminal 2 by the customer C, the specifications of the bread to be manufactured are naturally determined after passing through steps SS1 to SS7 shown in FIG. The contents of the elements (1) to (6) are shown in FIGS. 2 (A) to 4 (B), respectively.
Hereinafter, the contents of each of the elements (1) to (6) shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to each of FIGS. 2 (A) to 4 (B) as appropriate.

In step SS1, the customer C performs an operation for determining the element (3) out of the six elements required for determining the specifications of the bread to be manufactured. The element (3) is an element for determining the type of bread to be produced.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3A, in step SS1, the customer C selects “selection” and “original” as the first selection for determining the type of bread to be manufactured. Select one of them. Of these, the "selection" is an option selected when the customer C selects one or more types from the existing one or more types and intends to place an order.

Here, "existing" means that it is included in the specifications of bread already registered in this service as a copyrighted work of creator H. For example, if the bread specifications already registered in this service as the copyrighted work of creator H include the recipe for "melon bread", "melon bread" as the type of bread is treated as an existing type.
Therefore, for example, the existing type is not fixed to the type (baguette, melon bread, anpan) shown in FIG. 3 (A). It is generated at any time based on the information about the work (hereinafter referred to as "copyright information") stored in the work DB181.

Hereinafter, such an ordering method in which the specifications of the bread to be manufactured are automatically determined by the customer C selecting the options sequentially displayed on the customer terminal 2 is referred to as a "pattern order". ..
On the other hand, "original" is an option selected by customer C when there is no copyrighted work corresponding to the desired bread determined by the options, or when the customer C intends to produce the original bread from the beginning. Therefore, such an ordering method is called an "original order".

First, an example of the case where "selection" is selected by the customer C (in the case of so-called pattern order) will be described.
When "selection" is selected, for example, options such as "baguette", "melon bread", and "anpan" are displayed on the customer terminal 2. As a result, the customer C can freely select the type of bread to be manufactured from the existing types.

Next, a case where “original” is selected by customer C will be described.
When "original" is selected in step SS1, the sales representative of the service provider G shifts to the original order corresponding individually. Specifically, communication tools such as chat will be set up, and individual hearings will be conducted by sales representatives who have specialized knowledge about bread production. In the hearing, a detailed confirmation is made as to what the specifications of the bread to be manufactured desired by the customer C are. While performing such confirmation, the sales representative of the service provider G appropriately refers to the work DB181 to check whether or not there is any product that matches or resembles the specifications of the bread to be manufactured desired by the customer C. (Hereinafter referred to as "similarity check"). As a result of the similarity check, if it is confirmed that the specifications of the bread to be manufactured desired by the customer C match or are similar to the existing ones, the sales representative guides the pattern order. ..
As will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, when the creator H makes an application for registering the bread (which he / she thinks) he / she created as a copyrighted work, whether or not to allow the application. A similarity check is also performed in the determination.

Here, "guidance to the pattern order" will be described. For example, it is assumed that the specifications of the bread to be manufactured desired by the customer C are the type (melon bread) and the visual (heart-shaped and pink). Here, if the "type" option does not include "melon bread", the customer C selects "original" in step SS1. Then, the above-mentioned individual hearing is started. In the hearing, a similarity check is appropriately performed to see if any of the existing "type" options match or resemble "melon bread". As a result of the similarity check, when the existence of an option of "type" similar to "melon bread" is detected, customer C is recommended that the detected type can be selected. Further, in the hearing, when it is found that the customer C wants to manufacture the "heart-shaped and pink" melon bread, the similarity check with the "heart-shaped and pink" as the key is appropriately performed. Then, when the existence of bread (existence of copyrighted work) that satisfies the visual requirement of "heart-shaped and pink" is extracted from the types of bread other than "melon bread", the type of bread is recommended to customer C. Will be done. In other words, some customers C are particular about the visual "heart-shaped and pink", but there are cases where they are not so particular about the type of bread called "melon bread". In such a case, there is a high possibility that the guidance to the pattern order will be successful.

If the guidance to the pattern order is successful, the registered work will be used, so that the creator H will be given a predetermined incentive according to the mode of use of the work.
Here, the method of giving the incentive to the creator H is not particularly limited to the payment of the consideration in the following example for convenience of explanation. For example, a method such as “like” that satisfies the approval desire and provision of name recognition and exposure opportunity to creator H may be adopted.
That is, when many pattern orders are selected, it is possible to promote the use of the copyrighted work registered in this service and increase the incentives that the creator H of the copyrighted work can obtain.
As a result, it can be expected that more people will try to get a predetermined incentive by creating bread (its visuals and recipes) and registering for this service. Further, along with the patterning, it is possible to reduce the work load of the sales person and the manufacturing cost of the customer C (the fee paid to the service provider G).

The success rate of induction to the pattern order depends on the completeness of the bread visuals and recipe patterns stored as a literary work in the literary work DB181. That is, when the completeness of the pattern is high, the number of options displayed on the customer terminal 2 increases, and there is a high possibility that the options matching the bread specifications desired by the customer C are displayed on the customer terminal 2. Become. As a result, since the range of choices by the customer C is widened, the specifications of the bread to be manufactured desired by the customer C can be determined without lowering the experience value of the customer C.
That is, if the guidance to the pattern order is successful, the amount of incentive paid to the registered creator H increases. And the number of works newly registered in this service will also increase. As a result, the completeness of bread visuals and recipe patterns stored as copyrighted works is improved. Then, it can be connected to a positive spiral that the success rate of guidance to the pattern order is improved.

In the above example, the guidance to the pattern order is performed individually by the sales representative of the service provider G for convenience of explanation, but the information is not particularly limited to this, and the information on the server 1 and the like is not particularly limited. It may be performed automatically on the processing system side.

In step SS2, the customer C performs an operation for determining the element (1) out of the six elements required for determining the specifications of the bread to be manufactured. The element (1) is an element for determining the visual sense of the bread to be manufactured.
Note that step SS2 does not necessarily have to go through step SS1. That is, in determining the specifications of the bread to be produced, the visual of the bread to be produced may be determined without going through the step of determining the type of the bread to be produced.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A, in step SS2, the customer C selects “selection” and “original” as the first selection for determining the visual of the bread to be manufactured. Select one of them. Of these, the "selection" is an option selected when the customer C selects from existing visual patterns and intends to place an order (that is, in the case of a pattern order).
On the other hand, the "original" is an option selected by the customer C when the desired bread type does not exist in the options or when the customer C intends to produce bread in the original order from the beginning.

First, an example of the case where "selection" is selected by the customer C (in the case of so-called pattern order) will be described.
When "selection" is selected, for example, options such as "shape", "size", and "color" are displayed on the customer terminal 2. As a result, the customer C can freely select the visual pattern of the bread to be manufactured from the existing visual patterns.
Here, when the customer C selects "shape", one or more information indicating the shape of the bread among the visual patterns of the bread to be manufactured is displayed on the customer terminal 2 so as to be selectable. Specifically, for example, the shape of bread is expressed by drawing (for example, a star shape), the shape of bread is expressed by an image taken (for example, a sample photograph), and the shape of bread is expressed by characters (for example, "star"). The characters "type") etc. are displayed.
Further, for example, when the customer C selects "size", the customer terminal 2 can select one or more pieces of information indicating the bread size among the visual patterns of the bread to be manufactured, as in the case of the "shape". Is displayed in. The same applies to "color" and other options not shown.
As a result, the customer C can freely select desired contents for each of the "shape", "size", "color" and the like of the bread as the visual of the bread to be manufactured.

Here, the customer C may find a bread visual displayed as an option that is close to the visual that he / she desires, but may not be close enough to be ordered as it is. In such a case, the customer C can make a modification to match (or bring) the visual of the bread displayed as an option to his / her own image by operating the customer terminal 2. Hereinafter, such a correction function installed in the dedicated application will be referred to as a "visual correction function". That is, the visual correction function allows a certain degree of freedom for the correction operation by the customer C. That is, if a modification exceeding a certain degree of freedom is made, the range that can be handled by the pattern order may be exceeded and the original order may be obtained. However, for customer C, it is unknown whether the degree of freedom exceeds a certain level. Therefore, the visual correction function includes a function for automatically performing the above-mentioned similarity check. As a result, the correctable degree and range are automatically determined (step SS3). As a result, the customer C can perform a correction operation for matching (or approaching) the visual sense of the bread desired by the customer C within a range that can be handled by the pattern order.

If it is determined in the automatic determination of step SS3 that the range of correction can be dealt with by the pattern order, it is determined as YES in step SS3, and the process proceeds to step SS4 or step SS5. Customer C can arbitrarily select whether to move to step SS4 or step SS5 after step SS3. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the customer C has selected the transition from step SS3 to step SS4.

Further, in the automatic determination in step SS3, if it is determined that the correction range that can be dealt with by the pattern order is exceeded and the customer C does not correct the correction, it is determined as NO in step SS3. Then, in step SS2, the state where "original" is selected is selected. That is, the pattern order shifts to the original order.

Further, when "original" is selected in step SS2, the individual response by the sales representative of the service provider G is started as in the case where "original" is selected in step SS1.

In step SS4, the customer C performs an operation for determining the element (2) out of the six elements required for determining the specifications of the bread to be manufactured. The element (2) is an element for determining the visual option of the bread to be manufactured.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B, in step SS4, the server 1 causes the customer terminal 2 to display an option for determining the visual option of the bread to be manufactured.
That is, the server 1 displays "branding iron or not" and other visual options (not shown) on the customer terminal 2 as the first selection. Customer C selects any option to finalize the visual options. It should be noted that the first selection is not an alternative type like the first selection in step SS1 and step SS2 described above, but can be sequentially selected in order to individually set each of the displayed options. There is.

Here, for example, when the customer C selects "branding iron required", "selection" and "original" are displayed as the second selection. Of these, "selection" is an option that customer C selects when selecting an existing branding iron pattern. Further, the "original" is an option selected by the customer C when the desired bread type does not exist in the options.

First, an example when "selection" is selected by customer C will be described.
When "selection" is selected, as a third selection, for example, options such as "size", "location", and "color" are displayed on the customer terminal 2. As a result, the customer C can freely select the branding iron pattern to be printed on the bread to be manufactured from the existing branding iron patterns.
Here, when the customer C selects "size", one or more information indicating the size of the branding iron among the branding iron patterns printed on the bread to be manufactured is displayed on the customer terminal 2 so as to be selectable. Specifically, for example, a branding iron size expressed by drawing, a branding iron size expressed by a captured image, a branding iron size expressed numerically, and the like are displayed.
Further, for example, when the customer C selects the "location", the customer terminal 2 can select one or more pieces of information indicating the pattern of the location where the branding iron is printed on the bread to be manufactured, as in the case of the "size". Is displayed in. The same is true for "color" and other options not shown.
As a result, the customer C can freely select the desired content of the "branding iron" or the like printed on the bread as a visual option of the bread to be manufactured.

Here, the customer C uses the above-mentioned visual correction function when he / she finds a branding iron displayed as an option that is close to the visual desired by himself / herself but is not close enough to be ordered as it is. be able to.

Further, when "original" is selected, the service provider G's sales representative handles the individual response as in the case where "original" is selected in step SS1 or step SS2.

In step SS5, the customer C performs an operation for determining the element (4) out of the six elements required for determining the specifications of the bread to be manufactured. The element (4) is an element for determining the formulation option of the bread to be manufactured.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3B, in step SS5, the server 1 causes the customer terminal 2 to display an option for determining the prescription option of the bread to be manufactured. That is, the server 1 selects "taste", "country of origin", "base material type", "additional material", and "calorie" as the first selection for determining the prescription option. Display other prescription options (not shown) on the customer terminal 2. Customer C selects an arbitrary one and makes various settings in order to determine the prescription option. The first selection is not an alternative type, and each of the displayed options can be set individually.

Here, for example, when customer C selects "taste", "selection" and "original" are displayed as the second selection. Of these, "selection" is an option that customer C selects when selecting an option for an existing prescription. Further, the "original" is an option selected by the customer C when the desired item does not exist in the options.

First, an example when "selection" is selected by customer C will be described.
When "selection" is selected, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, as a third selection, options such as "a" and "b" are displayed on the customer terminal 2 as existing tastes. .. As a result, customer C can freely select any existing taste.
Customer C can select a prescription option and modify or adjust the selection as needed.

Next, a case where “original” is selected by customer C will be described.
When "original" is selected, the service provider G's sales representative handles the individual response as in the case where "original" is selected in step SS1, step SS2, and step SS4. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, individual hearings as described above regarding "sweetness", "sourness", "saltness", "bitterness", and "umami", which are components of the taste of bread. Is done. In the hearing, a similarity check is performed, and guidance to the pattern order is performed as appropriate.

Although not shown, the first selection selects one of "country of origin", "base material type", "additional material", "calorie", and other prescription options not shown. In this case, as in the case where "taste" is selected, the options are displayed on the customer terminal 2 so that the second selection and the third selection can be made respectively.

In step SS6, the customer C performs an operation for determining the element (5) out of the six elements required for determining the specifications of the bread to be manufactured. The element (5) is an element for determining the production scale and important requirements of the bread to be produced.
Here, the "manufacturing scale" refers to factors related to the overall scale when manufacturing the bread to be manufactured, such as the expected number of production lots, the range of regions to be sold, and the budget that can be put into the bread. .. Manufacturers M that can receive orders differ depending on the difference in manufacturing scale. In other words, depending on the expected number of production lots, it may be possible to manufacture more efficiently if the bakery in the town receives an order due to the convenience of the production line, or it may not be possible to handle it unless it is a large factory.
In addition, the "important requirement" refers to an important requirement that also leads to the basic idea of customer C, such as what kind of concept the bread to be manufactured should be manufactured. Therefore, the "important requirement" is also an element that directly links the "manufacturing scale". Specifically, for example, as an "important requirement", the concept of whether to push the "handmade feeling" to the front and compete with "quality" or to compete with "number" as a mass-produced product is determined by "selection". And the direction of "manufacturing scale" will also be decided.
In addition, the manufacturer M can be individually specified as an "important requirement". Specifically, for example, customer C can individually specify a famous bakery by using only organic ingredients, or can individually specify a bakery to which a well-known bakery belongs. In addition, when celebrities such as entertainers and cultural figures are forced to participate in the creation, various matters can be confirmed by "selection".

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A, in step SS6, the server 1 causes the customer terminal 2 to display options for determining the production scale and important requirements of the bread to be produced. That is, the server 1 displays, for example, "handmade type", "mass production type", "designation / designation", and other options (not shown) on the customer terminal 2 as options for determining the manufacturing scale and important requirements. Let me. Customer C selects an arbitrary one in order to determine the manufacturing scale and the important requirements.

In step SS7, the customer C performs an operation for determining the element (6) out of the six elements required for determining the specifications of the bread to be manufactured. The element (6) is an element for determining the ordering conditions for the bread to be manufactured.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4B, in step SS7, the server 1 causes the customer terminal 2 to display options for determining the ordering conditions for the bread to be manufactured. That is, the server 1 displays "formal order" and "sample order" on the customer terminal 2 as options for determining the ordering conditions. Customer C selects one in order to finalize the ordering conditions.
When either "formal order" or "sample order" is selected and confirmed as the order condition, the specifications of the bread to be manufactured are determined. The server 1 refers to the manufacturer DB 182 in which information about each of one or more manufacturers M (hereinafter referred to as “manufacturer information”) that are candidates for ordering the production of bread is stored, and the bread having the determined specifications. Is selected as the optimum manufacturer M as a manufacturer M capable of producing the above, and the contractor is determined. In this way, matching is performed by the server 1.

In the matching by the server 1, not only the manufacturer M satisfying the specifications of the bread to be manufactured is extracted, but also the merits that the customer C can enjoy by changing the specifications are recommended to the customer C. Specifically, for example, if the number of production lots included in the specified specifications of the bread to be produced is slightly increased, the existing production line can be diverted and the price can be reduced.
If the matching by the server 1 is successful, the contractor starts the bread production.

The specifications of the bread to be manufactured, which are determined through the above steps, are realized according to various manufacturing conditions (for example, customer C's wishes) included in the elements (1) to (6) regardless of the pattern order or the original order. It is the creation of customer C in consideration of gender). Therefore, the determined bread to be manufactured (its visuals and recipes) is additionally stored in the work DB181 as a new work in which the customer C is the creator H.
After that, in step SS8, the manufacturer M wraps the produced bread and ships it in a package.

Here, when the "formal order" is selected by the customer C, the customer C pays the service provider G the fee required for consigning the production of the bread to be manufactured. When customer C determines the specifications of bread to be manufactured by pattern order, the fee paid by customer C to service provider G includes an incentive to be paid to the creator H of the visual or recipe among the specifications. Will be done. However, in the present embodiment, the details including the amount of the included incentive and the information about the contractor are not disclosed to the customer C. Therefore, the customer C can easily outsource the production of the bread to be manufactured by the OEM only by exchanging with the service provider G without being aware of the existence of the creator H and the manufacturer M. ..

When the customer C selects "sample ordering", the manufacturer M, who is the contractor, first manufactures the sample product. The sample product is delivered from the service provider G to the customer C. Sample products can be charged, but if this service is charged, some of them can be made free of charge. When the sample product is charged, the charge may be automatically calculated based on, for example, the production lot, the amount of money, the manufacturer information, etc. when a formal order is placed.

In addition, the content of the transaction generated by using this service is stored and managed in the transaction DB 183 as "transaction information". Further, the information stored in each of the work DB181, the manufacturer DB182, and the transaction DB183 is managed in a state in which they can cooperate with each other. This makes it possible to link the copyright information, the manufacturer information, and the transaction information.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a flow until a contract for using this service is concluded between the service provider and the creator.

As shown in FIG. 5, in step SS101, the service provider G requires the creator H to register as a user of the service, and the application form format (hereinafter referred to as "application format"). )I will provide a. Specifically, the server 1 transmits the application format to the creator terminal 3.

In step SS102, the creator H inputs information about bread visuals and recipes as copyright information of the copyrighted work created by himself / herself in the application format, and applies for user registration. Specifically, the creator terminal 3 transmits the copyright information input in the application format to the server 1.

In step SS103, the service provider G determines whether to "permit" or "reject" the user registration based on the information regarding the content input in the application format (hereinafter referred to as "application information").
In making this judgment, the guarantee that the creator H can manufacture the bread applied for registration of the copyrighted work (hereinafter referred to as "manufacturability guarantee") is confirmed. As a result, the bread (its visuals and recipes) covered by the manufacturability guarantee is guaranteed to be the copyrighted work of creator H, and is also reflected in the options on the customer terminal 2. Furthermore, by confirming the manufacturability guarantee, it is possible to prevent the registration of ineffective works.
Further, when the server 1 determines, the copyright information stored in the copyrighted work DB181 is referred to, and a similarity check is performed to check whether or not the already registered copyrighted work exists. This makes it possible to prevent the same copyrighted work having different creators H from being registered.

If the result of the judgment by the service provider G is "permission", in step SS104, a contract for using this service is concluded between the service provider G and the creator H. In addition, this usage contract may be a "every time contract" or a "lump-sum contract". A lump sum contract is, for example, a contract that allows a specific customer C to make an exclusive sale in a lump sum.

The usage contract includes the contents of the agreement regarding the terms of use of the copyrighted work. Then, the contents of this agreement are reflected in the options displayed on the customer terminal 2 for each of the above-mentioned elements (1) to (6).

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a definition of a copyrighted work to which this service is applied.

As mentioned above, when an "application" is made for the created work (bread visuals and recipes) and "permission" is given for this, the work is registered in this service. The scope of individual rights of the copyrighted work registered in this service is the scope of the content included in the application information. Whether or not it is included in the application information is determined by the factors that define the copyrighted work described in the application information. As shown in FIG. 6, the elements that define a copyrighted work include, in particular, "shape", "raw material and compounding information", and "manufacturing method" in the visual sense.

First, the "shape" will be described with a specific example. For example, creator H, who created a four-pointed star-shaped visual bread as shown in FIG. 6, enters copyright information in an application form and applies. Here, it is assumed that the creator H inputs "not only the four-pointed star shape but also the six-pointed star shape" in the application form and makes an application, and this is permitted. In this case, the range of "shape" that defines the work is a four-pointed star shape and a six-pointed star shape. The range of the guarantee of manufacturability and the range that can be corrected by the visual correction function (the range in which the pattern can be ordered) are also the four-pointed star shape and the six-pointed star shape. Therefore, for example, the heptagram shape as shown in FIG. 6 becomes a shape for which no application or permission has been made, and is outside the range of the manufacturable guarantee and the range that can be corrected by the visual correction function. .. In such a case, the seven-pointed star-shaped bread cannot be manufactured in the pattern order, so that it is manufactured in the original order.
In other words, if a third party later applies for registration of the hexagram-shaped bread as his own copyrighted work, the application will be rejected (rejected) because it has already been registered as an example of FIG. On the other hand, if a third party later applies for registration of the seven-pointed star-shaped bread as his own work, it is out of the range of the work registered as the example in Fig. 6, so other works. If it is not within the range, the application may be approved (registered).

Next, "raw materials and formulations" will be described with specific examples. For example, creator H, who created five types of raw materials and formulations (hereinafter referred to as "first variation") composed of ABCDE as shown in FIG. 6, inputs copyright information in an application form and applies. Here, the creator H wrote in the application form, "Not only the first variation, but also five kinds of raw materials and formulations consisting of A'B'CDE (hereinafter referred to as" second variation "), and 5 consisting of A'FCDE. Includes four types of raw materials and formulations (hereinafter referred to as "third variation") and four types of raw materials and formulations consisting of ACDE (hereinafter referred to as "fourth variation"). " Suppose it is allowed. In this case, the range of "raw materials and formulations" that defines the copyrighted work is the first variation to the fourth variation. The range of the manufacturability guarantee and the options displayed on the customer terminal 2 are also reflected in the first variation to the fourth variation. Therefore, for example, the five types of raw materials and formulations consisting of ACCDF as shown in FIG. 6 are raw materials and formulations that have not been applied for and approved. For this reason, it deviates from the scope of the manufacturability guarantee and the options displayed on the customer terminal 2, and is treated as a mere type or category of bread that is not enough for the copyrighted work. In such a case, the bread made of five kinds of raw materials made of ACCDF and the composition cannot be made in the pattern order, so that the bread is made in the original order.

Next, the "manufacturing method" will be described with reference to specific examples. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, creator H, who created the manufacturing process (order, time, temperature, etc.), equipment and specifications used, items described in other formats, etc., inputs the copyright information in the application form and applies. In this case, the range of the "manufacturing method" that defines the copyrighted work is the range that the creator H has applied for and the service provider G has approved. Then, the range of the manufacturability guarantee and the one reflected as the option displayed on the customer terminal 2 are also within the range permitted by the service provider G after the creator H applies. For this reason, the manufacturing method without application and permission is not included in the scope of the manufacturability guarantee and the options displayed on the customer terminal 2, and is manufactured in the original order.

According to this service that summarizes the above, for example, the following effects can be expected.

That is, according to this service, the bread pattern order, the creator H, and the manufacturer M can be managed separately.
As described above, the creator H and the manufacturer M may be the same person.
Further, the customer C can order the bread pattern by confirming the visual (element (1)) of the bread to be manufactured displayed as an option on the customer terminal 2 by selection.
In addition, it becomes possible to manage the bread specifications including recipes such as raw materials and manufacturing methods for realizing the production of bread with a fixed visual (element (1)) as a literary work.
In addition, the managed copyright information can be compared with the manufacturer information of the manufacturer M who can manufacture the bread whose specifications have been determined.
Further, since the optimum manufacturer M is matched, the customer C can place an order with the creator H and the manufacturer M separated. That is, it cannot be said that creator H necessarily owns a large-scale factory capable of mass production. In addition, it may not be possible to respond promptly due to the operating status of the factory. On the other hand, according to this service, the creator H and the manufacturer M can be ordered separately, so that the customer C can produce a large amount of highly original bread and a small lot. It can also be manufactured in. As a result, the customer C can order the bread to be manufactured without being aware of the existence of the creator H and the manufacturer M.
In addition, it is possible to construct a mechanism for paying a reasonable price to creator H.

Further, according to this service, the degree of freedom of the customer C in the bread pattern order can be specified.
Further, when the visual (element (1)) or the prescription option (element (4)) is selected, for example, for the visual, the image can be corrected by the visual correction function.
In addition, with regard to prescription options, a certain degree of freedom can be allowed by presenting the options and the availability of the options.
In addition, when the contract for using this service is concluded, the range to be corrected and the options that can be presented can be generated and presented based on the copyright information of the work applied for and approved by the creator H.

Further, according to this service, the degree of freedom of the customer C in the bread pattern order can be specified.
In addition, the pattern order can be closed without lowering the experience value of the customer C who intends to manufacture the original bread.
It is also possible to guide the customer C who intends to manufacture bread by the original order to the pattern order.
