datanu00e4trelaterat arrangements (multilateral)

摘要

The present invention concerns a data network related information-carrying and information-transferring arrangement, that includes a central unit ( 10 ) and a number of slave units ( 11, 15 ), which co-act with said central unit ( 10 ) via information-transmission ( 1 ), wherewith a document (D) can be sent to the central unit ( 10 ) from a chosen slave unit ( 11 ). The electronic document (D) includes protected text (d 1 ) and at least one (d 2 ) signature of a number of requisite signatures and can be sent to the central unit ( 10 ), wherein the central unit is adapted to check the document (D) automatically with regard to chosen aspects of the document. The central unit is also adapted to send the document (D), bearing the electronic signature, automatically to each of the remaining ( 15 ) parties that are required to sign the agreement document in order for the agreement to be binding. Each of these parties signs the document (D) electronically and returns it to the central unit ( 10 ), which thereafter initiates activation of the agreed measures via available means ( 24 ). The arrangement enables a multi-lateral agreement to be reached between two or more parties (A, B), where chosen slave units ( 11, 15 ) are assigned to one party (A) and chosen slave units ( 13, 16 ) are assigned to the other party (B).
