Device and procedure for the protected output of an electronic document via a data transmission network

A procedure for the protected output of an electronic document via a preferably public data transmission network, in particular the internet, with the following steps:

• access via the electronic data transmission network by means of an user-end access unit to a server unit providing the electronic document for download access and
• removal and output of an electronic document by means of an output assigned to the user-end access unit in a form envisaged for a user,
• with the received document containing at least one programming instruction which may be executed for output by the output unit and designation for a file and/or a path in the data transmission network and/or a display form of the electronic document, with it being possible to download and or change document components of the electronic document by means of the designation,
• characterized by the following steps:
• the preparation and destructuring of the electronic document with regard to the document components by means of a server-end deconstruction unit so that is only usable in the form envisaged for the user after the execution of an assigned programming instruction suitably generated by the deconstruction unit,
• the formation and change of the programming instruction and/or the document components of the received document by a reconfiguration unit assigned to the server unit in such a way that a repeated reception of the electronic document by the user after a prespecified, limited number of further accesses, in particular after only one further access, effects a change to the instruction with regard to an associated file designation and/or a path designation and/or a display form designation and/or a change to the document components to be downloaded thereby compared to a preceding reception and output.
