ELECTRONIC PALETTE SYSTEM FOR STUDENTS

摘要

A system for generating design sample palettes over a network includes a database storing design products related to a plurality of categories of commercial products from a plurality of manufacturers. Interface circuitry displays the plurality of categories of commercial products and filtering criteria on a user interface and a sample palette server in operative communication with the database and the interface circuitry receives a user selection of one or more filtering criteria specifying one or more requested design features and updates the user interface to display a subset of the design products sharing at least one feature in common with the requested design features. Palette generating circuitry receives a second selection of a plurality of design products from the displayed subset of design products and generates a graphical representation of a sample palette including graphical images of the plurality of design products on the user interface. Authorization circuitry receives a user request to order samples of the plurality of design products in the sample palette and determines whether the user's account is authorized to order design product samples from the plurality of manufacturers.
