Abstract
A product design support system comprises a product design support server (), a product design support database () where parts information, parts image information, circuit information and circuit image information are stored, a communication network () and a designer terminal () connected via the communication network (). The product design support server () allows a designer to specify a predetermined circuit from circuits stored in the product design support database (). When the predetermined circuit is specified, the product design support server () transmits at least one of circuit information or circuit image information of the specified circuit to the designer terminal () via the communication network () to provide the designer with the transmitted information. In case of newly designing a circuit, a circuit or parts satisfying the specification designated by the designer are specified through simulation or the like, and the designer is provided with information on the specified circuit or the like.
