Abstract: An apparatus, method, system, computer program and product, each capable of assisting a printed board design process. A predetermined combination including information regarding at least two of a board material, board sheet, and a printed circuit board is prepared before performing the printed board design process.

Abstract: A product design support system comprises a product design support server (1), a product design support database (2) where parts information, parts image information, circuit information and circuit image information are stored, a communication network (3) and a designer terminal (4) connected via the communication network (3). The product design support server (1) allows a designer to specify a predetermined circuit from circuits stored in the product design support database (2). When the predetermined circuit is specified, the product design support server (1) transmits at least one of circuit information or circuit image information of the specified circuit to the designer terminal (4) via the communication network (3) to provide the designer with the transmitted information.

Abstract: A structured parts list creating and editing system is disclosed, in which structured parts list information and parts information, of respective electronic parts, are stored in a resource DB 1 and approved DB 2, respectively. A resource parts list creating and editing unit 3 retrieves parts information on the respective parts, which is stored in the resource DB, produces a parts list, updates the parts list based parts information, and stores into a storage unit 6. A compatibility prediction information output unit 7, which is additionally provided, surveys on predetermined items based on the parts information list, and produces and then outputting decision information for compatibility prediction based on the results from the survey.
