DE102010016668A1 - Method for creating physical binder as electronic binder i.e. object-oriented programming language communication container, involves executing local centralization of digital signature to perform electronic and/or mobile payment procedures - Google Patents

Abstract

The method involves connecting a system integration platform (9) as a web container for electronic payment, electronic billing, service/hotline and web-community and as Java(RTM: object-oriented programming language) communication container (JCC)-safe (7) and JCC-archiving (8). An XML-based markup language is used as data exchange format for the JCC, where the JCC has a direct access to the platform. Local centralization of a digital signature is executed by an electronic controller to perform integrated electronic and/or mobile payment procedures.

Description

The next evolution of networked society is networking at the logical level. The essential requirements for this logical dimension are: Identity Management, attribute Providing, ePayment, informational self-determination as well as language and data compatibility. For this, it is not sufficient if, as is customary today, the level of information is universally available, but also the levels of communication and transaction must be universally valid. To achieve this goal, a transport container is required to transport the elements for communication and transaction. The invention of the Java Communication Container (JCC) represents this container.

Today's state of the art generally allows to provide any information. With e-mail services and websites, this information is transported and offered.

At the level of clear communication, there are also technologies such as signature cards and trust centers, but these technologies have not been universally valid since their publication over 15 years ago.

The same applies to the technologies for the level of the transaction. Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), service-oriented architectures, etc. have also been available for many years and have not yet become universally valid.

The reason is that until today there is no universal electronic transport container for these infrastructure requirements. Here, the Java Communication Container is to be used as an integration element.

The invention is based on the following object. Every day, millions of business documents as well as government documents are electronically created, sent and processed by individuals, companies and authorities. However, these documents can not be processed directly and immediately. They must fulfill the requirements of legal certainty and informational self-determination and be adapted to the specific requirements of an application. These adjustments, such as printing, faxing and mailing, signing, typing, require tremendous staffing costs and waste precious time. At the present time, there is no generally valid legally compliant electronic transaction, which is clearly provable in case of dispute. All of today's offers on this subject are point solutions and can not prevail in the broad masses as an infrastructure.

The invention solves the problem that the way, the technical components and the business model for producing this universal infrastructure are presented.

The goal here is to reach the next evolutionary stage of networked society.

The object is inventively carried out in the description and realized on the basis of claim 1 and its subclaims.

The Java Communication Container service, hereafter referred to as JCC, is a novel service for collecting, transmitting, and providing information in business and administrative processes. What the fax service has meant in the paper dimension for the networked society from the 1980s to the present is to continue and expand the JCC service in the digital dimension of the networked society. For a small transaction fee in the amount of a usual letter postage service can be used. For this offer, paper forms are converted to Adobe PDF format and adapted to the changed requirements of this service offering.

Offices and communities, in the future each institution and each company, have the opportunity to provide their offer of forms and other business documents directly through the JCC service platform, so that the citizens and customers do not have to go to the town hall, the local government or any other institution to get to the desired document. The forms are available for download as JCC via the homepage of the municipality or the office. After calling the JCC and entering the own zip code by an applicant / user, the address of the responsible authority is inserted via the service platform, which means a process-dependent routing. If a process container is no longer up-to-date, for example, it no longer complies with the legal requirements, it will also be detected during the initialization phase and a current JCC will be made available.

Depending on which JCC is called, it is absolutely necessary for the user to make some entries. If he should not do so or if he makes false entries, he will be advised to complete the missing information before printing or submitting the document. This is to ensure that all information important for the further processing is made and thus the processing in the authority can be carried out smoothly, without further delay and fast, that means process-dependent data quality and if necessary legal conformity.

To ensure legal certainty and liability for the JCC, all JCCs contain so-called signature fields. In these, as already known from paper forms, a signature is issued. This is done by using a signature card or a mobile phone. A hash value is signed and returned via a wireless connection, such as GPRS or Bluetooth, in the mobile phone, ensuring legal validity in the form of an advanced or a qualified signature.

Subsequently, the JCC is sent, thus ending the processing by the customer. For sending, the data is pictorially placed in an envelope for privacy purposes. The envelope containing the data content is transmitted as an e-mail to the recipient dependent on the respective process as process-dependent routing.

Now, the JCC arrives as an attachment to an e-mail to the responsible body and is further processed by this. To do this, the protected data container must first be opened by entering a password. This moment will be passed on to the JCC service platform behind it and considered as an impulse for the service fee. Should the container arrive at another than the predetermined instance, a release for opening the container must be requested from the sender.

If the JCC has been opened by the responsible recipient, the further processing dependent on the process can be carried out by the processing. At this point, after an examination by the processing, the data in applications is taken over the interoperable data interfaces XML Integration in heterogeneous system worlds. If the language differs between the sender and the recipient of the JCC, the recipient can switch to the language that he understands. This means that integration takes place across language barriers. In addition, the receiver acquires switching functions within its received JCC to communicate status information, for example, on the processing status, to the JCC service platform. This status information can be retrieved by any other process participant with a JCC copy belonging to the process, which represents process-dependent status information. Depending on the process, the processing can display other process-relevant parts of the JCC, such as statements, notices, fees. Should billing-relevant information, they are made available for the payment component. The clerk can now integrate other process participants according to the JCC concept.

At the end of the process chain, the JCC usually returns to the requester and is available as a notification or order confirmation, etc. This includes possible payment information and can be paid via the payment component.

Complementary services allow users to archive their copy of JCC for later use. Similarly, if needed, the service provides neutral information about certain processes and their associated status information, for example, for litigation in court. Also, the JCC registered service participants will be provided with individual proof of the submitted JCC in the context of billing.

Of course, an assignment to participate in the JCC service is made via a registration JCC according to the above model.

The invention is based on the development of intelligent, legally compliant and current standards corresponding form container, hereinafter called JCC. These are provided in the form of a new telecommunications service similar to the telephone service for standardizing and networking of cross-company administrative and business processes by the users. For a small transaction fee, the form containers can be used by email for automatic, process-optimized transport at authorities, institutions and commercial enterprises. Among other things, the otherwise usual effort in the process chains is greatly reduced, the comfort for all involved parties significantly increased and simultaneously ensures more security for the entire communication.

The invention will be described below with reference to FIG 1 to 3 explained on an embodiment with a general description.

The technological advantage is reflected in the simple, interactive processing of forms with automatic plausibility checks as well as in self-learning business process recording and optimization. For example, the form container enables simple integration of electronic signature and payment methods, customizable security levels for transmission, and language switching directly from the form used. The container concept JCC relies on existing technical solutions at the customer and acts as an integrating infrastructure element. This achieves a high degree of user-friendliness and customer loyalty. Through a Web 2.0 application community, the quality is permanently improved by the introduced customer ideas.

The economic benefits for the customer are exemplified by a time saving of up to 20% and a process cost savings of up to 10%. Through the transaction model, there is little, if any, investment in the customer and the risks are correspondingly low. Furthermore, the application contributes significantly to the upcoming bureaucracy reduction. The bureaucracy costs alone for information duties amount to 23 billion euros in Germany. Another advantage is the use of the Adobe Reader technology, which is available free of charge for everyone and is already distributed worldwide.

The technologies used are certified and can be used by the application that represents an application. The JCC makes use of the forms available on the market, for example from the publisher Kohlhammer, and is itself offered as a legally compliant, integrative unit. All JCC modules such as ePayment, eSignature, Billing etc. are integrated by the user as a complete system. The application is highly scalable and expandable, so future developments such as the electronic identity card, DE-Mail and the high data protection requirements can be easily integrated.

• – automatischer medienbruchfreier Transport von Formularinhalten von autorisiertem Bearbeiter zu autorisiertem Bearbeiter firmenübergreifend in Form eines verschlüsselten elektronischen Aktenordners, Formularcontainer; erhöhte Sicherheit durch dezentrale Datenhaltung beim Bearbeiter anstelle zentralistischer, serverbasierter Verfahren,
• – erstmalige selbstlernende Aufzeichnung von Vorgangbearbeitungen zur Prozessoptimierung und für den späteren automatischen Transport der Formulare,
• – Bezahlung nur für die Dienstnutzung, d. h. für Produktion, Bereitstellung und Service des Formularcontainers, in Form einer Transaktionsgebühr.

JCC is an intelligent electronic form solution that has the following unique selling points:

• - automatic media-break-free transport of form content from authorized agent to authorized agent company-wide in the form of an encrypted electronic file folder, form container; Increased security through decentralized data management for the processor instead of centralized, server-based procedures
• - initial self-learning recording of process operations for process optimization and for later automatic transport of the forms,
• - Payment only for service use, ie for production, provision and service of the form container, in the form of a transaction fee.

The modular, reusable form container JCC contains, for example, the data of the applicant, electronic signature, ePayment and online banking, various security levels, appointment coordination of the transaction, language switching for foreigners and interfaces to existing specialist applications and archive systems. The JCC is web-based and builds on the Adobe PDF technology. The used file format PDF 1.7 is as ISO 32000 standardized. The advantage is that the Adobe Reader is free and worldwide very common.

An important further development of the application is the electronic authorization solution. In this case, the application automatically creates an electronically prefilled authorization in the case where the applicant is required to provide written form but can not digitally sign it. An authorized representative receives the electronic authorization including all application documents for digital signature and forwarding to the applicant. This avoids that each applicant must have a digital signature card including card reader and yet can make a fully electronic application.

The user company acts as a service provider, produces the form containers, handles the monitoring management of the transaction processing, offers ePayment in the form similar to online banking as well as a service / hotline and a web community. Optionally, the archiving of the forms is taken over and a document safe is offered. form container Community ePayment eVollmacht eSignature security levels Form-application schedule coordination language selection Self-learning process detection calculator Fold-Newsletter modular container structure

The intelligent, legally compliant JCC is very user-friendly, close to reality, like common paper forms, can be pre-filled with existing data and has a high degree of plausibility checks. Furthermore, the customer has the support and, in the event of a fault, a service and hotline. This refinement increases customer satisfaction.

Due to the automatic transport of the form beyond company boundaries, the process can be processed faster, with fewer errors and queries from the user, for example, citizens, requesters, and results in a considerable effort saving. Otherwise usual costs for a first-time recording of the transaction processing and recording for process optimization at the customer, for example municipality or bank, can be largely avoided. A process optimization using the example of a business registration (process potential analysis: Gartner, b.i.t.consultant and knowlogy solutions AG) leads to a time saving of> 20% and a process cost saving of> 10% during the processing of processes by using eCash, eWorkflow, eActs. According to own experience and an investigation of the Potsdam eGovernment Competence Center, the actual processing times are about 20%, the rest is consumed by lying and transport times. Optimization must start with the interfaces of the involved actors. Exactly this described process detection, optimization and implementation is based on the solution according to the invention.

One of the most important requirements of the customer is safety. With its tiered concept of encryption and digital signature, the user addresses customer needs in a demand-oriented manner.

Customers can share their experiences through a Web 2.0 community application, as well as help shape the design and service. The results of the community are evaluated and are automatically included in the form design. This achieves a permanent quality improvement of the form container, the service, and the forms-based processes.

The JCC is produced by the company, checked for legal compliance and made available to the customer. For the entire range of services described, costs per transaction are incurred in transaction processing in the form of a transaction fee. The customer does not have to invest in their own ICT infrastructure, nor does he have to take care of the maintenance, but only pays the said transaction fee when the service is used. This avoids investments as well as the risk of bad investments by the customer.

• – Benutzerfreundlichkeit/Kundenzufriedenheit (Plausichecks, Datenvorbefüllung, Service/Support)
• – Aufwandseinsparung (Prozesserfassung/Optimierung, Fehlerreduktion)
• – Sicherheit (bedarfsorientiertes Verschlüsselungs-Containerkonzept, Datenschutz und Rechtssicherheit)
• – Qualitätsverbesserung (Anwender-Community, Prozessautomatisierung)
• – Kosteneinsparung/Risikominimierung (Transaktionsgebühr)

The customer benefit can be summarized as follows:

• - User friendliness / customer satisfaction (plausibility checks, data pre-filling, service / support)
• - Effort savings (process detection / optimization, error reduction)
• - Security (demand-oriented encryption container concept, data protection and legal security)
• - quality improvement (user community, process automation)
• - Cost savings / risk minimization (transaction fee)

The competitors focus their offer either on pure form paper solutions or electronic solutions, which are purely server-based. The forms must always be down-loaded by a server for each transaction processing step. This creates for each customer a specific ICT infrastructure for him, d. H. an isolated solution. Thus, no cross-company, media-break-free and certainly not automatic transaction processing is possible, as caused by the island solutions media breaks between the islands. Who should take responsibility for a consolidated, media-disruptive form infrastructure across company boundaries? Therefore, the application as an intelligent, media-break-free form container offers the possibility of transporting form content across company boundaries. This creates a unique opportunity to harmonize existing or future inhomogeneous ICT infrastructures created by competitors at the application level, or even not to create them at all. The application thus represents an elementary integrating infrastructure element and leads to a paradigm shift from the prevailing world of server-based, centralized systems to process-based, media-free system worlds.

Accordingly, the competitors also do not offer a transaction-based fee model, but require customers to invest heavily in the ICT infrastructure for the form system.

The interviews conducted with pilot customers by the user led to the benefit arguments described above, which are summarized below.

• – Vereinfachung und Vereinheitlichung der Vorgangsbearbeitung,
• – automatischen, firmenübergreifenden Transport von Bearbeiter zu Bearbeiter,
• – Datenschutz und Rechtssicherheit für die Vorgänge,
• – Bezahlung nur für die Dienstenutzung in Form einer Transaktionsgebühr,
• – Erfahrungsaustausch und Mitgestaltung der Kunden in der Community.

The application is the intelligent JCC and offers:

• - simplification and standardization of transaction processing,
• - automatic, cross-company transport of agents to agents,
• - data protection and legal certainty for the transactions,
• - payment only for the use of the service in the form of a transaction fee,
• - Exchange of experiences and co-creation of the customers in the community.

The application is similar to the telephone service. When making a call, anyone can easily make a phone call with anyone, across organizations, based on a usage-based fee.

The application does the same thing with the intelligent JCC, which transports the form content. Anyone can easily and electronically send form content to anyone, across organizations, based on a usage-based fee.

At this point in time, many process paths involving multiple different instances involved, such as individuals and / or companies and / or government agencies, must be paper-based in many places.

Although input masks are provided on the Internet for data collection, these procedures always have an island-like character and are far removed from a general infrastructure approach according to the above pattern.

JCC is designed as a transport container with underlying service platform for process data including systems such as pictures, drawings, other file attachments, etc., and not as an application in the sense of data processing. The JCC service meets ten essential requirements to be used as an infrastructure for business and administrative processes:

legal certainty

Legal certainty for the transported information, for example declaration of intent, by using the qualified electronic signature, where sufficient also advanced signature.

Informational self-determination

Data protection by encryption of the information to be transported. The JCC service itself does not store content data, but confines itself to the necessary routing information for the transport containers.

Integration in heterogeneous system worlds

A structured data collection and data output according to common standards on the semantic level, for example XMeld from the reporting system for the description of persons or X-foreigners in the field of foreigners, including bar and matrix code functions. This ensures data compatibility of the JCC with the sending and receiving systems even across the paper interface.

Integration across language barriers

The ability to switch the container to another language at any time means integration across national borders.

Process-dependent routing

The JCC service allows a structured and / or unstructured routing of the container at runtime. For this purpose, common e-mail systems are used for communication.

Process-dependent status information

The JCC service platform receives status information from each JCC in relevant situations. This status information is available to anyone involved in the process via their copy of the JCC.

Process-dependent payment functions

Most business and administrative processes have a payment situation within the process chain. A payment function with an interface to the respective banks also reduces the process runtime for these process situations.

Process-dependent data quality and, if necessary, legal compliance

An intelligent control including plausibility checks of the data fields ensures the best possible data quality of the data to be transported. The process-dependent data fields are also subject to legal compliance monitoring.

Update check for the transport containers

A JCC is not always downloaded from a recent website, but can also be accessed months from its own hard disk or older disk. During the initialization process, such as the initial call with input of the postal code for localization, the actuality of the checked JCC via a web service call. If the called JCC is out-of-date, the current version will be reloaded by the JCC service platform.

Usage-based billing

It is a transaction-oriented fee model, which can charge each individual use of a container used. This is absolutely necessary for the claim to build an infrastructure.

Known methods are thus used by appropriate software in the JCC and control systems behind it, in order to create the new advantages from this.

This whole system is realized by an operator who performs the following tasks for the JCC system:

• The operator intelligently maps the physical file folder or workbook as an electronic file folder, and if necessary, the physical folder can be recreated.
• - The operator controls and centralizes the physical storage or the electronic variant in the form of a document safe or an archiving. Centralized, as the operator is ready for use across company boundaries without media discontinuity.
• - The operator records during the first use electronically the process of processing a hitherto physically used file folder, optimizes the process and enables automatic, electronic transaction processing (electronic file folders) in other applications.
• - The operator controls the automatic process-based transaction processing of the technical devices from authorized agent to authorized agent and settles the respective transaction with a corresponding fee.

Another focus is the project JCC in the signature as a proxy or digital signature. Thus, there is the possibility that an applicant may transmit a power of attorney to a third party who offers this professionally by electronic means, ie it does not have to be signed, and the third party will then automatically forward the applications to the authority via an electronic signature as an authorized representative. There are two ways to do this:

• 1. The application does not need a handwritten signature, ie no written form. The application is sent by the applicant in electronic form to the authority and processed.
• 2. The application must be signed by hand, ie in writing. In this case, the application will be sent to the operator with an electronic authorization from the applicant. The operator then sends the application as an authorized representative to the authority automatically with an electronic signature of the authorized representative. If the customer does not wish to issue a power of attorney, there is the possibility that the customer will sign a one-page application form, in which all electronically filled out forms will be referred, and will send it by post to the authority. The written form would be fulfilled.
