Abstract
An image of a design pattern of wallpaper stored in a data base (DB) is viewed by a user computer of a user who is a general consumer or a contractor from a server computer provided in a head office of a wallpaper manufacturer through the Internet. Further, upon accepting an order of wallpaper from the user who saw the image by the user computer, the server computer fetches the image of the design pattern from the DB. A wallpaper printer then prints the image on a wallpaper sheet, thereby manufacturing the wallpaper desired by the user. The produced wallpaper is delivered to the user who gave out the order by, for example, a door-to-door delivery service.

A wallpaper manufacturing method, comprising the steps of:
- inputting dimension and shape information of a wall surface on which wallpaper is attached;
- determining a positional relationship between said wall surface and a design by applying design data of said wallpaper on a virtual wall surface based on said inputted dimension and shape information;
- determining on said virtual wall surface a shape and a position of each of a plurality of pieces of wallpaper attached on said wall surface while taking a width of said wallpaper into consideration;
- and
- determining a design, a dimension and a shape of each of a plurality of said pieces of wallpaper from said determined positional relationship between said wall surface and said design and said determined shape and position of each of a plurality of said pieces of wallpaper.
