Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for exchanging data in a computer network and in particular to a so-called mail system.
- Mail systems already offer a multitude of functions to send, receive and manage mail in different ways.
- it is a problem for active users that it is difficult to assign incoming mails and sent mails appropriately.
- it is desirable that an offer sent as an email is confirmed within a specified period of time. If, however, many mails arrive, the assignment of a confirmation of the offer to the sent offer is complex and difficult.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a mail system which allows the sender not to have to remember for which sent mails he expects a response.
- a method for exchanging data in a computer network which comprises the steps:
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that the order parameters comprise a recipient identifier and a status parameter, the status parameter indicating whether a response to the sent mail is expected or not, and wherein the first computer monitors each incoming mail to determine whether its sender - Identifier is identical to the recipient identifier of a previously sent mail with the status parameter set.
- a display is initiated which informs the user of the first computer of the arrival of an expected mail.
- FIG. 1 shows a user interface of a time monitoring component according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows the time monitoring component and its embedding in the mail system
- Figure 3 shows another user interface in connection with the inventive method
- Figure 4 shows a list structure for managing the mails in a folder.
- the basic idea of the invention is that a time monitoring system is introduced, which monitors over an adjustable period of time whether an answer expected from a mail (from the recipient of the mail) within the above
- FIG. 1 shows the exemplary user interface of the time monitoring component according to the invention when sending an email.
- the interface allows the user to set a period of time over which the mail to be sent is monitored by the time monitoring component before an email is sent using an “Options” button and another “Time monitoring” button.
- the period includes an absolute start time and the duration of the monitoring.
- Additional ordering parameters can also be set for the mail as part of the "Options" sub-item. For example, an ordering parameter can be set so that the mail is deleted immediately if no response is received after the selected period of time. Once the user has selected the period to be monitored, the time monitoring component saves this period and calculates the absolute time at which the said monitoring period expires, which he then saves.
- FIG. 2 shows the time monitoring component and its embedding within the mail system.
- the time monitoring component essentially contains a monitoring table TAW, in each of which a mail identifier (MAIL-ID), the time of the beginning of the period TB to be monitored, the period dt to be monitored, the time of the expiration of the monitoring period TE, the recipient nger identifier or the recipient address (eg X.400, Internet) and a sender identifier (user ID or sender ID) are stored.
- MAIL-ID mail identifier
- a separate monitoring table can also be provided for each user. In this case, the "User ID" field is not necessary in such a table.
- the time monitoring component checks whether the sender address of a newly received mail corresponds to a recipient address to be monitored. If it finds a match, it continues to check whether the relevant absolute time of the expiry of the monitoring period has already been exceeded or not.
- the user is then informed that a response for a time-monitored mail has arrived on time or not on time, and the user can then check whether this response is actually the expected response, or whether it is a new mail not related to this.
- the incoming mail is the expected response, he can tell the monitoring component via a corresponding button "Receive response" that the monitoring component can now end the time monitoring, that is, can reset the status parameter and delete the corresponding data in the monitoring table TAB. This Deletion can also take place automatically if a corresponding email has arrived within the monitoring period.
- the mail system Each time the mail system is called up, it checks not only the newly received mails, but also the entire monitoring table, to determine whether the monitoring period for a mail to be monitored has expired. If this is found in a mail, the mail system notifies the user of this fact accordingly and gives him the opportunity to deactivate or change the monitoring of the mail. Alternatively, the mail system automatically deletes the data of the corresponding mail from the table, which means that it resets the status parameter of this mail.
- Figure 3 shows another user interface. Via this user interface, the user has the option of changing the properties of a selected mail (in particular the property whether the
- Mail is time-monitored or not (status parameter)) and if necessary to change the setting of the time monitoring or to switch off the time monitoring entirely.
- FIG. 4 shows an exemplary list structure for managing the mails in a folder, for example in the “sent mail” folder.
- a list element of the list structure mentioned contains in particular a mail ID, the meaning of which is explained further below.
- a chain structure can also be used.
- the user opens the "sent mail” folder and shows the mail system the desired mail by marking a specific mail in the "sent mail” folder and prompting the monitoring data to be displayed using the "View" and "Time monitoring” buttons ,
- the mail system then takes the marked mail (more precisely from the list element for managing the mail, see FIG. 4) the mail ID and searches the monitoring table from FIG. 3 for the correspondence of this mail ID with a mail ID stored there. If they match, it takes from the corresponding one
- Row from the table shows the associated monitoring data and displays them to the user, with the option of changing them if necessary.
- the mail system indicates to the user that the marked mail is an email that is not time-monitored and whose status parameter is not set, so to speak.
- the mail is read-only.
- the mail system initiates a "delete" command (a marked Mail) a request (with the mail ID given) to the time monitoring component, which then uses the mail ID to check whether the mail to be deleted is a time-monitored mail or not. If the mail is time-monitored, i.e. the mail ID is available in the table, the time-monitoring component ensures that the mail system deletes the mail first prevented and notifies the user of the time monitoring of the mail. The latter can then delete the mail from the table, i.e. reset the status parameter, whereupon the mail can be deleted.
- the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not restricted to this.
- another condition can be monitored, for example the arrival of an email from a third party.
- the first computer is the computer of a dealer and the latter has sent several e-mails to several recipients in which he has made an offer to them, he can monitor the receipt of e-mails from the customer's computer and monitor this when the first one arrives Cancel mail from a customer computer for all customer computers.
