Services such as e-mail or e-cards using the Internet are provided to the recipient's identifier (ID) in the form of an electronic document through a server that provides the service, and are not delivered directly to the recipient by letter. . Therefore, it is difficult to deliver a message to anyone who does not use the Internet or even a computer.

The present invention has been made in order to improve the above-mentioned shortcomings. The purpose is to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a print production and delivery system comprising a server for providing print production and delivery services to clients connected to the Internet, respectively: Connecting to the print production and delivery system A first step of making; A second step of selecting a desired printed matter; A third step of determining whether the selected printed matter is book binding; A fourth step of selecting a design of the selected printed matter when the selected printed matter is not book binding; A fifth step of inputting contents to be written on the selected printed matter; A sixth step of inputting residence information of the receiver; A seventh step of entering a desired delivery date; And an eighth step of producing the selected printed matter and delivering it to the recipient on the desired delivery date.

Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following drawings.

1 is a network configuration for implementing a method for producing and delivering a printed matter using the Internet according to the present invention, wherein the client 4 and the server 6 are connected to the Internet 2, respectively.

In the figure, the server 6 provides a print production and delivery service to the client 4 via the Internet 2 based on the print production and delivery method using the Internet according to the present invention. The print production and delivery service is provided through a specific service provider. For example, when the client 4 requests the server 6 to produce and deliver the desired prints through the Internet 2, the server 6 notifies the supplier operating the specific service company to produce the requested print. To deliver to the intended recipient. The client 4 is a personal computer capable of connecting to the Internet.

Figure 2 is a flow chart showing step by step an embodiment of a method for producing and delivering printed matter using the Internet according to the present invention.

First, the client 4 accesses the server 6 via the Internet 2, downloads initial screen configuration data from the server 6, and displays a predetermined graphic configuration on the screen for using a print production and delivery service. (Step 2).

As the user selects the desired printed matter through the graphic on the screen, the client 4 uploads the corresponding data to the server 6 via the Internet 2 (step 4). The printed matter includes letters, postcards, wedding invitations, cards, bookbindings, and the like.

The server 6 receives and reads a selection signal provided by the client 4 via the Internet 2 to determine whether the selected printed matter is book binding (step 6).

The server 6 allows the user to select the design of the selected printout if the selected printout is not book binding (step 8). For example, a plurality of designs may be displayed by a specific graphic configuration, and a user may click on a specific design among them by using a mouse.

The user inputs contents to be written on the selected printed matter and uploads them to the server 6 via the Internet 2 (step 10). As a method of inputting contents to be described in the printed matter, the user may directly type or upload a file prepared in advance.

The user enters residence information where the recipient can receive mail and uploads it to the server 6 via the Internet 2 (step 12). As a method of inputting the residence information, the user may directly type or upload a file prepared in advance. In particular, when there are a large number of recipients, each residence information is prepared in advance as a file, and then the file is uploaded to the server 6 via the Internet 2.

The user enters a desired delivery date according to the graphic configuration and posts it to the server 6 via the Internet 2 (step 14).

The server 6 determines whether the client 4 has requested a margin of the selected printed matter (step 16).

When the client 4 requests the margin of the selected printed matter, the server 6 requests the specific service company for the margin of the selected printed matter and delivers it to the client 4 (step 20). The delivery address of the client 4 can be found and used in the information of the client 4 already input.

If the printed matter selected in step 6 is book binding, the server 6 receives the corresponding file containing the contents of the book to be bound from the client 4 and performs step 12 above.

As described above, the present invention allows the server 6 to make printouts through a service company in response to a request of the client 4, and deliver the printed material directly to the intended receiver. Therefore, the user can very conveniently provide the desired printed matter to the corresponding recipient. Regardless of the type of print or the number of recipients, you can simply deliver the desired prints to the recipients.
