Patent ID: 7536236

Claim:
A service providing method for providing mounting technique data including one of cream solder information and adhesive information necessary for allowing one of a cream solder printing apparatus and an adhesive applicator to perform a mount production, from a service provider provided at a supplier side or a serviceperson side of a cream solder printer for printing cream solder on a circuit board for mounting a component thereon, or an adhesive applicator for applying an adhesive for adhering components onto the circuit board, to a service receiver provided at a user side for mount production using the cream solder printer or the adhesive applicator, via a communication system including the Internet, the method comprising: receiving and collecting, by the service provider, mounting technique data having results of fabrication of non-defective products input by the service receiver via the communication system; accumulating, by the service provider, the input mounting technique data for each type of component, cream solder, adhesive, or circuit board in a mounting technique database, and deriving the mounting technique data by the service receiver, wherein the service provider comprises a printing condition database for storing the printing condition of the cream solder within the mounting technique database, wherein the service provider derives one of cream solder characteristic information and printing condition information from the printing condition database in response to a request from the service receiver during the accumulating of input mounting technique data, and wherein the cream solder characteristic information includes a product number, a particle size, and a viscosity; and retrieving, by the service provider, the product number, and if the retrieving fails, retrieving the particle size or the viscosity, so as to obtain cream solder characteristic information close to the desired product number in the retrieved cream solder characteristic information as a result of the retrieving during the deriving of a component library.
