Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement for entering and displaying User information on a display, according to the generic term of Claim 1.
- the solution aims to input and output via a User interface and is designed for Franking machines or similar processing modules for service data suitable.
- User interfaces with input means and with a display of Screen images and assigned softkeys are for franking machines known (EP 571 061).
- An actuating device becomes under a softkey understood, to which a function can be variably assigned.
- the Actuating means is, for example, a key which is a display field assigned which shows the assigned function.
- a hardkey is a key with a dedicated function.
- US Pat. No. 5,437,010 proposes a fixed division of the display into fields, with the fields being assigned softkeys which trigger the screen change.
- a control system provides character strings for each display field from an image memory.
- the controller communicates with peripheral devices, the status of which is continuously polled, and waits for one of the softkeys to be pressed to select a screen.
- peripheral devices the status of which is continuously polled, and waits for one of the softkeys to be pressed to select a screen.
- the fixed assignment of input keys to the fields of the different menu screens requires a large number of input keys, that the fixed field boundaries must be taken into account when defining the text and graphic elements, which limits their programming and that a considerable learning time is required to operate the user interface correctly.
- the invention takes into account the option that the franking machine Jetmail® is to be expanded into a system and that its User interface can be used worldwide without major changes should. It assumes that a user interface for the international Use is also flexible enough to be simple Way to enable all inputs and representations.

- inputs can be made in a known manner by means of softkeys of a second input field I-2 in order to enter the franking image or at least one of the parameters displayed such as postage value, date, election prints, advertising slogan or change the cost center number.
- the microprocessor evaluates and processes a softkey actuation as the completion of the entry. The display then shows a revised basic menu picture with regard to the input made. In addition, the microprocessor evaluates a softkey actuation that was carried out without entering a number. Corresponding screens are generated that display at least one piece of information for future entry. softkey Function in the franking basic menu S1 Cost center entry S2 Advertising cliché settings S3 Election pressure input for shipping types / forms S4 Date entry S5 Postage value entry
- the function of the softkeys depends on how they work Menu or list images.
- display screens can also be displayed in generated screen images Menus or list images via control elements of a third input field Alternatively selectable I-3.
- the controls are hardkeys and that the microprocessor is programmed restore a screen image by pressing a back button 9, which was previously set before. For example so the user from a submenu level to that in the hierarchy Jump back to the higher basic menu level. Operates the user but on the same menu level a basic menu key accidentally, so can use the back function to undo this entry and the previous one Menu image are displayed again. This back function can be due to a history mechanism, for example, over two or Carry out more screens in between.
- two further hard keys 11, 12 ( ⁇ and ⁇ -Page buttons) of the third input field I-3 screens selected generated by the microprocessor when the hardkeys (11 or 12) are pressed become.
- the microprocessor is programmed, the basic menu picture 10 Generate and display after activation when activated a softkey S1-S3, which is assigned to drawing file 1 to 3
- Submenu 70, 80, 90 enter and an assigned first screen to generate with a number of list elements.
- a list of the cost centers already set up is displayed under which the franking accounting data is stored can.
- the submenus 80 and 90 for advertising slogans
- Election print input at least the associated names and a assigned characters for direct selection of a list element.
- the selection of the other screens is done by a so-called page by page. There will be a number on each page further selection elements shown in list form, which individually are selectable. While the selection elements in EP 718 801 B1 were only selected by means of scrolling, can be used in the invention User interface the selection elements shown in pages in lists can be selected directly. By entering a character (Number or letter) that corresponds to the selection element, the franking machine is set according to the selection.
- the Selection elements can be indicated by a display text, by a name, by a sign and / or by a so-called icon in the respective Screen image are shown.
- the display of further selection elements is activated when a page key is pressed by paging guaranteed.
- Each indicator - representing the selection element either a character (number) or a softkey is assigned. With the latter Variant is selected by pressing the correspondingly assigned Softkeys.
- the advertising clichés through icons are symbolized. Stylistically, these are compressed Images / logos.
- the page keys of the third input field I-3 enabled themselves an overview of all available advertising slogan icons procured, for example, to compare them with each other. In a manner known per se, when editing functions via hardkeys of the fourth input field I-4 inputs.
- the editing functions are different input sequences in connection with possible with the softkeys of the second input field I-2. So it can Press a softkey before or after entering a number.
- the control of the user interface can screen images with different Generate font sizes. For example, the one entered Postage shown in a large font in drawing 4 (Fig. 2).
- the display unit O has a basic menu image 10 for the country USA and the input unit I of the user interface for one Transition to further basic menu pictures shown.
- REGISTER can call up a basic menu screen 100 for billing and the amount of credit consumed by franking is checked become.
- the LABEL key you can print franking strips started if the number of stripes had previously been entered using the numeric keys was entered. The franking is done with the SEAL ONLY key switched off and the function of closing letters switched on, whereby a corresponding information is output via the display unit O.
- Multiple settings can be programmed using one MEMORY button possible. With the same MEMORY button, both the Key programming triggered as well as completed. Also the Multiple programmed settings can thus be made with one button respectively. Except for an advertising slogan or election pressure setting, it is possible to put graphics or text on one or more before setting To display screens. With 11 and 12 the hardkeys ⁇ and ⁇ are the third input field I-3 with which such screens by Scroll can be selected.
- the BACK key also allows a return across the hierarchical menu structure.
- FIG. 3 shown - way back to the submenu image 22.
- BACK button 9 By press the BACK button 9 again from there to Basic menu screen 20 can be returned. It would be especially strong branched tree structures to be elaborate on the first path taken (ACCT ⁇ Screen20 ⁇ S2) to the previous one To reach submenu image 22.
- the home button By pressing the home button it is alternatively it is possible to display the franking basic menu screen in order to Effects of settings made under one of the screens to check.
