The server collects data on the test results, and transmits the data with introduction conditions, such as the time limit for delivery and price to the user's personal computer system via the Internet (M5, M6). The user receives the data on the test results and the introduction conditions, to judge whether the required specifications are satisfied, and the price range is satisfied (U4, U5) to decide on the introduction.
