In general, in case of product design, each company designs a product in consideration of customer's taste and trends, and therefore, consumes a great amount of money in design development. The processing problem is time and economic burden. In addition, the customer spends a considerable amount of time and effort to get the product of the desired design. This means you are wasting economic and time to find a product that suits your tastes.

Recently, electronic commerce using the Internet or PC communication has been actively performed. The great advantage of this e-commerce is that it is not limited by time and space. In other words, since it is not limited by time and space, customers can purchase the products they want without visiting the store, and since there are no intermediate transaction costs such as distribution costs, all Internet subscribers are potential customers. Can be.

As a result, sites that design and sell products using the Internet are increasing. However, since the above sites do not have a selection for the constituent members constituting the product, it is not possible to design the shape of the product and thus display the finished product. In particular, in the case of textile products, including clothing, many designs are made according to the shape or color of a single member, so the customer wants a variety of designs, but the above products tend to follow the trend, so the design is limited. The disadvantage is that design choices are narrow from the customer's point of view.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems by allowing the consumer to select the desired design or to design the design by himself, thereby increasing the satisfaction of the customer's product and improving the customer's desired product. It is an object of the present invention to provide a product design system and method using the Internet that minimizes inventory and enables efficient sales.

It characterized in that it comprises a step of processing the order (S104).

In step S101, if the customer designates a product to design after connecting to the web server 30 through the Internet network, the web server 30 displays the product by type in the browser of the customer, and the customer displays the displayed product. Select the type of. In step S102, it is determined whether to design directly on the product of the type selected by the customer in step S101 or to select one of the previously designed products. At this time, the information about the previously designed product is provided in the database unit 50, and the DB of the database unit 50 is composed of a unique DB and a DB of the product designed by the previously visited customer. If the customer wants to design directly in step S102, the design method may be two types in step S103. One is to design by simply changing the color, logo, etc. from the model of the existing designed product, and the other is to design by selecting the components of the product as desired one by one. Seen to be. When designing a new design, the basic model is first displayed and each component is displayed. At this time, the customer selects the displayed components one by one to complete the design, but must select a required component. In step S104, if the customer wants to purchase the designed or selected product, the customer checks whether the customer is a member, and if the member is a member, inputs a member ID and password to process an order, and if the member is not a member, After signing up according to the method, the order is processed.
