CONSTITUTION: A member management system(1) stores personal particulars registered to an Internet homepage selling a weather avatar, and past purchase/sale avatar information and current item information of a member. A weather information system(2) generates/stores weather forecast values based on weather data received from the outside, and stores weather codes classifying the weather forecast values.

An avatar database stores(4) the weather avatar made by each weather code and an image of general avatars. A settlement system(5) makes the user pay the price by using a credit card, cash, electronic cash, or a mobile phone in case that the user requests purchase. |
