Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for generating a postage indicium, wherein the postage indicium of a control unit is provided using an intelligent document.
  • the invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method.
  • the logging of the printing and the checking steps are carried out by means of the process logic of the intelligent document, in particular controls the communication between the control unit and the central database.
  • a program execution environment is included that is included in a presentation program that executes in the customer's control panel and is designed to represent and interpret ordinary and intelligent documents.
  • An example of such a presentation program is the "Adobe Reader” from the company Adobe, which can handle in addition to conventional PDF documents (PDF: Portable Document Format) also intelligent PDF documents in newer versions.
  • a postage indicium can not be printed if certain conditions for printing are not met. For example, printing may not be carried out if the operating unit has a version of the presentation program that is incapable of interpreting intelligent documents or if a corresponding functionality of the presentation program is not activated. In these cases, static contents of the intelligent document can usually be displayed on the operating unit, but the functionality of the document for carrying out the necessary database query and for controlling the pressure is not available. Furthermore, the network connection between the operating unit and the network can be deactivated, so that it can not be determined whether the postage indicium has not already been printed. In this case, printing the franking mark is also not possible.
  • the problem here is that the user does not receive any information as to which prerequisite for the printing of the postage indicium is not fulfilled since results of Test steps that do not show the existence of prerequisites for using the functionality of the Smart Document. As a result, the probability that the user can create the missing prerequisites automatically, significantly reduced. This leads to dissatisfaction of the user and unnecessary service cases at the provider of the postage due.

As a result, the intelligent document itself is capable of indicating the result of a checking step, so that the result of the checking step is displayed regardless of the configuration of the presentation program.
  • an indication that can be displayed within an intelligent document is an indication that can be displayed by means of the presentation program, for example, on a screen.
  • intelligent documents may contain other contents, such as program codes, which are not displayed by means of a presentation program, at least in a normal presentation mode.
  • test steps it is advantageously checked whether certain conditions exist for the use of the functionality of the intelligent document. If these requirements are fulfilled, a positive result of the check step is displayed. If the prerequisites are not fulfilled, a negative result will be displayed, so that the user will know which condition is not met. He can use this knowledge to create the corresponding prerequisite.

If the program execution environment is not available, the program module can not be executed, and the indication of the negative result of the verification step remains unchanged. The test of whether the program execution environment is available is thus implicitly performed and provides a positive or negative result, depending on whether the program module can be executed or not.
