A method and system for mass-generating new or modified designs of products
and other items over a communications network, such as the Internet. Users
in the public may remotely access and run a computer design program on a
remote host system where they may select and manipulate product parts for
designated products, in order to create a new design for planned or
existing products. Additionally, an award incentive is preferably provided
to winning designs. In this manner, the remote host computer system may
collect a multitude of design submissions from a great number of users.
