CEN/TS 15448:2006

Postal services - Open standard interface between image controller and enrichment devices (OCRs, video coding systems, voting systems)

The purpose of this document is to define the requirements of the OCR/VCS Standard interface and to convey these requirements in context to the reader.
The interface specification is contained in the two appendices of this document, both of them normative:
·   System Design Description (SDD)
This document specifies the class model, dynamic behaviour and exception handling of the interface. The API is included.
·   Interface Design Document (IDD)
The IDD in Annex B defines the "payload" information for the interface. That is the data which is required for processing a mailpiece e.g.
Figure 1 - Interface environment of an Enrichment Device
As shown on Figure 1, there are many interfaces from an Enrichment Device to the rest of the system. This document is only concerned with the Mailpiece Processing part of the complete Standard Interface.
The mailpiece processing is concerned with the passing of a mailpiece to an Enrichment Device for processing.

Postalische Dienstleistungen - Offene Normschnittstelle zwischen Bildbearbeitung und Anreicherungsgeräten (OCR, Videocodierungssystem, Abstimmungssysteme)

Services postaux - Interface de standard ouvert entre un contrôleur d'images et un dispositif d'enrichissement (lecteur optique de caractères, vidéocodage, voteur)

Poštne storitve - Odprti standardni vmesnik med obdelovalnikom slike in napravami za obogatitev (optično prepoznavanje znakov (OCR), sistemi za videokodiranje, glasovalni sistemi)

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 3 July 2006 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
