Abstract:
A system which enables electronic communication, coordination and dissemination of color-related designs, specifications and products. Color production and maintenance in a simultaneous fashion is provided between a plurality of disparate parties in substantially "real time." The present integrated color-production is capable of importing electronic output from many diverse instruments, including color production-related hardware and software, and further uses the output to automatically deliver product data to and from a plurality of geographically disbursed parties. The present invention also provides an electronic library comprising colors and textures to be used for accurately matching a color sample and/or specification. The integrated, on-line color-related production system of the present invention enables parties to operate at peak efficiency, producing high sales and customer satisfaction.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to A method for developing a color product, said method comprising (a)storing development information in a database, said development information including characteristics related to development of a plurality of color products, (b) receiving first color information, said first color information including at least a first color; wherein the first color information is received using a color measuring device or by transmitting of a color sample, (c) identifying first color development information in said database on the basis of said received first color information, said first development information including at least said first color, (d) receiving data about at least one physical characteristic of said color product, (e) determining, using said first development information, whether said at least one physical characteristic is compatible with said first color, this result being used in a process of manufacturing said color product, (f) receiving data about at least one printing technique for printing the at least first color onto a substrate having the at least one physical characteristic of said color product, and (g) determining, using said first development information, whether said at least one printing technique is compatible with said at least one physical characteristic of said color product, and either (h) halting development of the color product after any of steps (b) - (e) if a physical characteristic is incompatible with said first color or after steps (f) or (g) if said physical characteristic is not compatible with said printing technique, or (i) issuing a warning via a user interface after any of steps (b) - (e) if a physical characteristic is incompatible with said first color or after steps (f) or (g) if said physical characteristic is not compatible with said printing technique, wherein development of the color product is halted until a designer modifies a design of the color product so that a first color is compatible with at least one physical characteristic of said color product and the at least one physical characteristic of said color product is compatible with the printing technique or production of the color product is halted if the designer does not modify the design of the color product.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for enabling electronic communication, coordination, and dissemination of color-related designs, specifications, and products. SOLUTION: Color production and maintenance are simultaneously provided substantially in "real time" between a plurality of disparate parties concerned. This integrated color manufacturing system can import electronic output from many various measuring instruments including hardware and software related to the color manufacturing, and automatically distributes product data to the plurality of parties concerned which are geographically distributed using the output. In addition, an electronic library comprises colors and textures in order to be used for accurately matching a color sample and/or the specifications. The parties concerned perform operations at maximum efficiency, and sale expansion and customer satisfaction are raised by an integrated online color related production system.
