Le fonctionnement du dispositif de la figure 1 va maintenant être décrit en référence aux figures 2 et 3. Au cours d'une étape 101 , le créateur envoie vers le serveur 2 de traitement, sur le bus10, un flot de données de description des documents au moyen d'un pilote développé par la Demanderesse adapté aux besoins du créateur et du prestataire. Les données de description sont transportées par le ré- seau local. Il peut être fait usage, par exemple, d'un pilote d'impression "Post Script" et d'un fichier de description PPD développé par la Demanderesse.The operation of the device in FIG. 1 will now be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. During a step 101, the creator sends to the processing server 2, on the bus 10, a stream of document description data by means of a driver developed by the Applicant adapted to the needs of the creator and of the service provider. The description data is transported by the local network. It can be used, for example, a "Post Script" printer driver and a PPD description file developed by the Applicant.
A la réception au cours de l'étape 102 des données de description des documents, le serveur 2 de traitement lance d'une part, l'étape 103 d'analyse des documents reçus et d'autre part, l'étape 104 de génération du document de re- lecture au format normalisé. L'étape d'analyse 103 permet d'extraire des informations concernant les options sélectionnées permettant la mise à jour au cours de l'étape 105 de la base d'informations du serveur 2 de traitement qui va alors générer au cours de l'étape 106, un bon d'accompagnement du document de relecture. Parallèlement à cela, une fois l'étape 104 terminée, un test 107 est effectué pour vérifier le bon déroulement de la procédure. En cas de succès, les deux documents créés lors des étapes 104 et 106 sont mis en attente à l'étape 109 et renvoyés au créateur au cours de l'étape 108, par ie bus 8.On receipt during step 102 of the description data of the documents, the processing server 2 launches on the one hand, the step 103 of analysis of the documents received and on the other hand, the generation step 104 of the replay document in standard format. The analysis step 103 makes it possible to extract information concerning the selected options allowing the updating during the step 105 of the information base of the processing server 2 which will then generate during the step 106, a voucher to accompany the proofreading document. At the same time, once step 104 has been completed, a test 107 is carried out to verify that the procedure is proceeding correctly. If successful, the two documents created during steps 104 and 106 are put on hold in step 109 and returned to the creator during step 108, by ie bus 8.
En cas d'échec, un message d'erreur est renvoyé au créateur à l'étape 110 par le bus 9, et les fichiers sont détruits au cours de l'étape 112.In the event of failure, an error message is returned to the creator in step 110 by bus 9, and the files are destroyed during step 112.
Dans le premier cas, à la réception au cours de l'étape 113 du "lot" composé du document de relecture et du bon d'accompagnement , le créateur commence par vérifier visuellement le document de relecture à l'étape 114. Il peut alors éventuellement modifier au cours de l'étape 115, les options retenues, ajouter des commentaires, apposer sa signature électronique, passer une commande auprès du prestataire de service 3, demander le cryptage du document lors de la transmission vers le prestataire 3.In the first case, upon receipt during step 113 of the "batch" consisting of the proofreading document and the accompanying voucher, the creator begins by visually checking the proofreading document in step 114. He can then possibly modify during step 115, the options selected, add comments, affix an electronic signature, place an order with the service provider 3, request encryption of the document during transmission to the service provider 3.
Puis à l'étape 116, il renvoie le bon d'accompagnement au serveur 2 de traitement par le bus 1 1. Dans le second cas, le créateur reçoit à l'étape 111 , un message d'erreur ainsi que des explications et des informations sur l'erreur.Then in step 116, it returns the support voucher to the server 2 for processing by the bus 1 1. In the second case, the creator receives in step 111, an error message as well as explanations and error information.
Le retour vers le serveur 2 de traitement du bon d'accompagnement à l'étape 117 et les opérations qui suivent sont décrits à la figure 3. Le serveur 2 de traitement commence par analyser le bon d'accompagnement au cours de l'étape 1 18. Ceci se fait sous la forme d'un test à l'étape 119. Si ce test est positif, c'est-à-dire si le bon a été modifié, le serveur met d'abord à jour sa base d'informations au cours de l'étape 120, puis, dans les deux cas, génère à l'étape 121 , le document final au format normalisé, qu'il transmet à l'étape 122 au prestataire par le bus 16. Cette opération est accompagnée de l'envoi à l'étape 123 d'un message de service 124 vers le créateur par le bus 27.The return to the server 2 for processing the support voucher in step 117 and the operations which follow are described in FIG. 3. The processing server 2 begins by analyzing the support voucher during step 1 18. This is done in the form of a test in step 119. If this test is positive, that is to say say if the voucher has been modified, the server first updates its information base during step 120, then, in both cases, generates in step 121, the final document in standardized format, which it transmits in step 122 to the service provider by bus 16. This operation is accompanied by the sending in step 123 of a service message 124 to the creator by bus 27.
Le serveur de traitement 2 conserve l'historique de toutes les opéra- tions précédentes, il peut être contrôlé par un opérateur par le biais du poste de contrôle 13 (Fig.1 ).The processing server 2 keeps the history of all the previous operations, it can be controlled by an operator through the control station 13 (FIG. 1).
On considère maintenant la figure 4 où est détaillé le fonctionnement du serveur de réception 4. A la réception du bon d'accompagnement et du document final à l'étape 201 , le serveur 4 analyse le bon d'accompagnement à l'étape 202 et enregistre les informations dégagées dans sa base d'informations locale à l'étape 203. Il vérifie le cas échéant la signature et s'il le faut décrypte le document. Il va ensuite à l'étape 204 tester s'il est possible d'effectuer un traitement direct de la tâche demandée.We now consider FIG. 4 which details the operation of the reception server 4. On receipt of the support voucher and of the final document in step 201, the server 4 analyzes the support voucher in step 202 and records the information released in its local information base in step 203. It checks the signature if necessary and if necessary decrypts the document. It then goes to step 204 to test whether it is possible to carry out direct processing of the requested task.
Si cela n'est pas possible, le serveur 4 alerte à l'étape 205, l'opérateur humain situé au poste de contrôle 24 (Fig.1 ), qui intervient à l'étape 206. Dans ies deux cas, il transmet à l'étape 207, le document au périphérique concerné 17,18 ou 19, par l'un des bus respectivement 20,21 ou 22, et enregistre à l'étape 208, le travail effectué dans sa base d'informations locale, puis aux étapes 209 et 210 revoie vers le créateur un message de service par le bus 27 en vue de la facturation et pour l'informer que le travail demandé est achevé.If this is not possible, the server 4 alerts in step 205, the human operator located at the control station 24 (FIG. 1), which intervenes in step 206. In both cases, it transmits to step 207, the document to the peripheral concerned 17, 18 or 19, by one of the buses respectively 20, 21 or 22, and saves in step 208, the work carried out in its local information base, then to the steps 209 and 210 send back to the creator a service message via the bus 27 for billing purposes and to inform him that the requested work has been completed.
L'invention, telle que présentée ci-dessus, permet, d'une part au créateur, de conserver ses outils de travail sans avoir à s'adapter au prestataire qui pour sa part voit son travail simplifié car ne nécessitant qu'un seul standard et rendant le processus de traitement des données quasiment automatique. Cette invention permet également d'optimiser les temps de transmission d'un poste à l'autre tout en garantissant la sécurité du transfert qui reste confidentiel et qui ne risque pas d'altérer le document. The invention, as presented above, allows, on the one hand to the creator, to keep his working tools without having to adapt to the provider who for his part sees his work simplified because requiring only one standard and making the data processing process almost automatic. This invention also makes it possible to optimize the transmission times from one station to another while guaranteeing the security of the transfer which remains confidential and which does not risk altering the document.
