Type information on sewing machine types and identification information for
specifying a sewing machine are stored in a control unit and computer of the sewing
machine. A server transmits display data for displaying a pattern selection edit
screen to the sewing machine side. At the sewing machine side, a pattern is selected
while the pattern selection edit screen is being viewed, and an edit processing
is instructed. The server edits an embroidery pattern ordered at the sewing machine
side, based on the instruction supplied from the sewing machine side. The server
transmits the display data and sewing pattern data to the sewing machine side.
Incorporated patterns and non-incorporated patterns at the sewing machine side
are displayed identifiably on a display at the sewing machine side. The server
charges for the non-incorporated newly purchased patterns.
