Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for preparing the execution of a number of services to be performed from a number of available services for a postage meter by a remote data center, wherein in a first setting step the sequence of the services to be performed is determined. It further relates to a corresponding data processing system.
  • services for a computing device are provided and executed by a remote data center.
  • This can be any services that influence the state of the data processing unit.
  • the data center generally reads data on the use of the franking machine from the franking machine as a further service.
  • the data center can influence the functionality and the functional scope of the franking machines via corresponding services. For example, new software versions, new postage tables and other information for the user of the franking machine can be loaded into the franking machine by the data center. Finally, the franking machine can be locked by the data center for further use.
  • the loading of postage into the franking machine as one of the available services is usually carried out on request of the franking machine, which contacts the data center for this purpose. As part of this communication, other services are then usually carried out, which are currently to be performed for each franking machine. This happens in part automatically, without there being a requirement of the franking machines themselves.
  • the sequence of services to be performed and their interdependencies have generally been defined once during the establishment of the data center or franking machine.
  • Comparable methods for preparing to perform a number of services to be performed are, for example, from EP 0 986 028 A2 , of the US 4,933,849 as well as the EP 1 037 172 A2 known.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a method or data processing system of the type mentioned, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above, or at least to a lesser extent and in particular allows flexible implementation of services.
  • the present invention solves this problem starting from a method according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1. It solves this problem further starting from a data processing system according to the preamble of claim 10 by the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 10.
  • the present invention is based on the technical teaching that a flexible, easily adaptable to changing boundary conditions preparation and implementation of services is achieved if the determination of the sequence of services to be performed in the first setting step triggered by an incoming in the data center request for a first service done by the franking machine. This makes it possible to influence at any time points on the sequence of services to be performed.
  • an order is hereby defined for the requested first service and further services to be performed as being performed, according to which they are processed. It is understood that the requested first service may also be denied. Instead, one or more other services may be performed. This may, for example, be the blocking of the franking machine for further operation if information is present in the data center based on the results of a previously performed service or from other sources that the franking machine may have been manipulated.
  • a first checking step of the first setting step the fulfillment of at least one first setting rule is checked by the franking machine.
  • the determination of the sequence of services to be performed then takes place in dependence on the fulfillment of the first determination rule by the franking machine.
  • the determination rule can be any rule to be defined.
  • the definition rules it is possible, for example, to form any categories, groups, etc., of franking machines on the basis of common features of different franking machines. For such categories, groups, etc., services to be performed and not to be performed can be defined without this having to be done individually for each franking machine. As a result, corresponding adjustments in the specification of services to be carried out are particularly simple and inexpensive.
  • the first determination rule relates to the affiliation of the franking machine to a first specification category.
  • Each classification category is then subject to a separate rule.
  • an arbitrarily fine subdivision of the franking machines and thus on the associated determination rules a gradation of the services to be performed is possible.
  • services that are to be performed for all franking machines can be defined, while other services are only to be carried out for certain franking machine classes and groups.
  • services can be defined which are only to be carried out for a single franking machine.
  • the allocation of the postage meter machine to a certain specification category can be made via any features of the postage meter machine. These features can be, for example, the type of franking machine, the model, the model version up to the individual serial number of the franking machine. Likewise, a gradation according to different software versions etc. is possible with which the franking machine is operated.
  • a first specification is made as to whether the respective service is a service to be performed or a service to be performed when the first setting rule is fulfilled.
  • the selection of the be performed services in response to the first default made in the first step.
  • the verification of the determination rules can be realized in any suitable manner.
  • an examination matrix is predefined which at least allocates the first stipulation rule to at least a part of the available services in a matrix-like manner.
  • the audit matrix has a commitment value. This setting value is then representative of whether the service is a service to be performed or a service not to be performed by the postage meter upon fulfillment of the fixing rule.
  • the selection of the services to be performed in the first checking step can be done independently of the requested first service. However, the selection of the services to be carried out preferably takes place in the first checking step depending on the requested first service. As a result, a particularly fine gradation of service preparation or service implementation is possible.
  • the selection depending on the requested service may be done in any suitable manner. For example, different audit matrices may be provided for individual or groups of requested services. Depending on the requested service, the corresponding check matrix is then selected, on the basis of which the check of the determination rules then takes place.
  • the selected services can in principle be brought into a suitable order in any suitable manner. Thus, for example, it is possible simply to have them followed in the order of their selection as a service to be performed in the examination of the determination rules.
  • the respective service is assigned a priority value for its execution.
  • the order of the selected services to be carried out is then determined as a function of the second specification.
  • the priority values can be subdivided arbitrarily fine, so that a simple unique sorting is possible. Likewise it can be provided that services with the same priority value are again subjected to a further sorting according to specific criteria. However, provision may also be made for services with the same priority value to simply follow one another in the order in which they are selected.
  • the second specification can be made at any point before the sorting step. It is particularly advantageous, if it takes place before the first test step, that it may then possibly already be taken into account in the standard test, whereby the effort for this is reduced.
  • the requested service can always be reserved the first place.
  • the position of the requested service is determined as a function of the priority value assigned for this service. This is particularly useful when constellations are possible in which the requested service can be performed only if previously other services would be performed. It also makes sense, if appropriate, to provide that instead of the requested service other services are to be performed.
  • the second specification of the priority values can take place in any suitable manner.
  • an examination matrix is used. Therefore, it is preferably provided that in the first predetermining step a test matrix is assigned, which assigns at least the first stipulation rule to at least a part of the available services and has the priority value at the intersection between the stipulation rule and the respective service.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for carrying out at least one service for a franking machine by a remote data center, in which the preparation of the performance of the service is carried out with a method according to the invention for preparing the implementation described above.
  • the implementation of the services is rigid in the predetermined sequence.
  • the performance of the services to be performed takes place in the service execution step as a function of the execution result of at least one service to be carried out. It can be determined that if a service fails, each of the subsequent services to be performed is not executed or the entire sequence is aborted.
  • This variant can be implemented particularly simply in connection with the sorting of the services according to priority values, since in such a case services whose successful conclusion is a prerequisite for the performance of further services can be assigned a correspondingly high priority.
  • the sequence of services to be performed is performed in a second setting step subsequent to the first execution step as a function of the execution result of at least one service to be performed in the first execution step.
  • the present invention further relates to a data processing system comprising at least one postage meter machine and a remote data center connectable therewith, configured to perform a number of services to be performed for the postage meter machine from a number of available services in a predetermined sequence.
  • the data center for determining the sequence of services to be carried out is triggered by a request of a first service arriving in the data center by the postage meter machine.
  • the data center has a defining unit with a first memory, at least a first setting rule being stored in the first memory and the determining unit for checking the fulfillment of at least the first setting rule by the franking machine and determining the sequence of the services to be performed as a function of the fulfillment the first fixing rule is formed by the franking machine.
  • the first determination rule is changeably stored in the first memory so that it can be modified at arbitrary times.
  • the determination unit is then preferably designed to select the services to be performed as a function of the first specification.
  • this examination matrix is preferably stored in the first memory.
  • the determination unit is then designed to select the services to be performed as a function of the respective setting value.
  • the determining unit for selecting the services to be performed is formed as a function of the requested first service.
  • the determining unit is preferably designed for determining the order of the selected services to be performed as a function of the second specification.

  • the audit matrix 5.3 for the requested service DQ assigns only a portion of the commitment rules to only a portion of the available services.
  • the respective stipulation rule relates to the affiliation of the requesting franking machine to a specific specification category.
  • the specification categories are the membership of the requesting franking machine to a particular group of franking machines, which is defined on the basis of certain features of the franking machine. These features are identifiable based on information that is transmitted to the data center 2 with the request of the service. If the affiliation of the requesting franking machines to the respective specification category is determined, then the associated determination rule is fulfilled.

  • Rules RI to RS-1 apply to individual franking machines defined, for example, by their serial number.
  • the affiliation of a requesting postage meter machine to a certain specification category can be readily determined on the basis of the serial number of the postage meter machine. It is therefore sufficient that the request contains this serial number. It is understood, however, that the requirement may also include any other features of the requesting meter, by means of which it may be classified in the categories of commitment.
  • the determination rules may also apply to rules that are not dependent on the requesting meter.
  • the determination rule RS relates to a time rule, i. H. the respective rule RS is fulfilled when the current request for a service arrives at the data center at a certain point in time, for example in a specific time interval.

  • certain rules may also provide for the combined testing of franking machine dependent and non-franking machine dependent criteria.
  • a priority value P is stored. This represents a first specification and a second specification.
  • the second requirement is that the numerical value assigned to the priority value represents a measure of the priority of the respective service when the associated determination rule is fulfilled. The higher the associated numerical value of P, the more senior the associated service.
  • the respective examination matrix is stored in the first memory in any suitable form. It is understood, however, that in other variants of the present invention, the first specification and the second specification may be made in other suitable ways. In particular, a separation of the first and second specifications may be provided. Furthermore, a separate second predetermining step may also be provided for the second specification.
  • the exam matrices can be modified at any time. This allows you to change, delete or add rules and / or services. Furthermore, of course, the individual priority values can be modified.
  • the above modifications may depend on internal constraints, such as the successful performance of certain services. However, they can also depend on external boundary conditions or events, for example the notification of an external authority, which relates to the creditworthiness of the operator of the franking machine. Of course, the above modifications may also be at least partially automated. As a result, a simple and extremely flexible flow control of the services to be performed is possible, which can be easily adapted to changing conditions.
  • a step 6.3 following the first specification step 6.2 it is checked whether there is a request for the execution of a service from a number of available services by one of the franking machines 3 or 4. If, for example, a request of the service D1 by the postage meter machine 3 occurs, this triggers the determination of the sequence of the services to be performed in a setting step 6.4.
  • the checking matrix 5.1 is first selected as a function of the requested service D1. This ensures that the selection of the services to be performed depends on the requested service. As a result, a shortening of the processing time can possibly be achieved since, depending on the requested service, it may not be necessary to record all available services or rules. However, it should be understood that in other variants of the present invention, such selection may also be absent depending on the requested service. In this case, then only a single examination matrix can be provided.
  • the second processing unit 2.9 of the determining unit 2.7 checks sequentially all setting rules R1 to RS of the checking matrix 5.1 by accessing the first memory 2.8.
  • those services to which a priority value P> 0 is assigned are included in the selection data record together with their assigned priority value. In other words, this results in a selection of the services to be performed as a function of the first specification previously made in the first predetermining step.

  • Services with numerically equal priority values P are sorted on the basis of further sorting criteria stored in the sorting module 2.10, so that at the end of the sorting step 6.7 in the selection data record the order of the selected services to be performed is determined. If individual services have possibly been selected several times with different priority values, then the relevant service is only arranged once in the selection data record with the highest assigned priority value.
  • a first service execution step 6.8 the execution of the service record in the selection record at the foremost place, which is to be executed, takes place.
  • the first processing unit 2.3 accesses the service module 2.4 to 2.6 associated with this service.
  • a step 6.9 it is then checked whether the service to be performed has been carried out successfully. If this is the case, in a step 6.10 the signaling that the service has been carried out successfully takes place. In a step 6.11, the service is then marked as non-executable.
  • a step 6.12 it is then checked whether there are more services marked as to be executed in the selection data record. If this is the case, it is jumped back to the first service execution step 6.8. If this is not the case, the first processing unit 2.3 of the service implementation unit 2.2, in a logging step 6.13, logs the result of the service execution in a second memory 2.11 connected to it.

  • step 13 If the result code again indicates that the execution of all other services is inadmissible if the performance of the relevant service fails, the logging step 13 is jumped immediately. If the result code indicates that the execution of the service concerned is inadmissible, the performance of individual further services is inadmissible is, the respective further services, if they are included in the selection data set, are marked as non-executable services in the selection data set in a step 6.15. Subsequently, jump to step 6.11.
  • an automatic modification of the check matrices is then carried out as a function of the logged result of the implementation of the services to be performed by accessing the result codes of the result code module 2.12. This makes it possible to make automatic adjustments to the examination matrix.
