Patent ID: 6959223

Claim:
A system for manufacturing a customized meter comprising: a user-side meter designing section for designing a desired combination meter, said designing section displaying a combination meter, for designing by a user based on supplied meter designing data, on a display screen and generating combination meter producing data for the production of said combination meter designed by the user; and a combination meter manufacturing data processing section for supplying said meter designing data to said user-side meter designing section and sending out an order of manufacturing a combination meter to a manufacturer side by supplying combination meter manufacturing data, which manufacturing data is derived from said combination meter producing data generated at said user-side meter designing section based on said supplied meter designing data, wherein said user-side meter designing section generates the combination meter producing data designed at the user-side by determining an arrangement of various meters and a size of each meter based on the meter designing data upon receiving said meter designing data from said meter manufacturing data processing section, which designing data allows combination meter designing within an area of installation of a combination meter on a substrate for assembling a combination meter at said manufacturer side, and sends back the combination meter producing data to said meter manufacturing data processing section, and said meter manufacturing data processing section automatically sends out an order of manufacturing the combination meter to the manufacturer side via the Internet by deriving the combination meter manufacturing data from meter drafting data after deciphering the combination meter producing data which is sent back from the user-side and generating the meter drafting data according to the deciphering result.
