Abstract
In the network-based design service system of the present invention, a parts vendor registers on a design DB server various kinds of information, including the names of parts/vendor items, sample circuits, and design know-how, e.g., anti-noise circuits, in advance through a parts vendor terminal via a network, a designer performs circuit design for a device on a WWW site through a designer terminal, and an account terminal pays a royalty for the utilization of the design database from the bank account of the designer to the bank account of the parts vendor upon utilization of the design database, and pays an employment fee from the bank account of the parts vendor to the bank account of the designer upon employment of a part.
Claims17
