Method and device for the robot-controlled cutting of workpieces to be assembled by means of laser radiation

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for providing an additional use of a consumer item that is primarily focused on a main use, especially a food item, upon purchase. According to said method, an individual code is made available for providing the additional use, this code enabling access to a public data network with a suitable data processing device. A supply of programmes that can be accessed using the individual code is stored in said public data network. The individual code is used to select a programme from said supply programmes. The selected, launched programme remains available for a predetermined access time, the individual code being blocked from further access once access has been gained on a predetermined number of occasions.

1 . A technique for imparting an extra utility when buying a consumer article aimed primarily at a main utility, in particular foodstuff, in which an individual code is provided for imparting the extra utility, by means of which it is possible to access a public data network via a suitable data-processing device, 
 characterized in that a stock of programs that can be accessed by means of the individual code is held on the public data network, in that a program can be selected from the stock of programs using the individual code, in that the started, selected program remains available for access for a predetermined time, and in that the individual code is disabled for further accesses after a predetermined number of accesses.    
     
     
         2 . The technique as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that 
 prior to accessing the stock, personal data is obtained interactively from the person accessing the stock, and in that a suitable program is offered based on the personal data entered.    
     
     
         3 . The technique as claimed in  claim 2 , characterized in that 
 the programs are divided into program groups, and in that the program group is selected using the user data provided.    
     
     
         4 . The technique as claimed in one of  claims 1  to  3 , characterized in that 
 the selection of the program is predetermined by the individual code.  
 
     
     
         5 . The technique as claimed in one of  claims 1  to  4 , characterized in that 
 an additional extra utility is imparted in addition to the code.  
 
     
     
         6 . The technique as claimed in  claim 5 , characterized in that 
 the additional extra utility, in the form of a small toy, is held in a container carried in the consumer article.    
     
     
         7 . The technique as claimed in  claim 6 , characterized in that 
 the code in written from is also held in the container.    
     
     
         8 . The technique as claimed in one of  claims 1  to  7 , characterized in that 
 the individual code is disabled after a single access to an offered program.  
 
     
     
         9 . A consumer article with a main utility, in particular as a foodstuff, and an extra utility, in particular as a plaything, which for the extra utility contains an individual code that, using code data, enables access to a public data network for a limited time via a data-processing device with access to the data network, characterized in that 
 the individual code contains code data for selecting from a stock of programs so that only one selected program can be accessed.    
     
     
         10 . The consumer article as claimed in  claim 9 , characterized in that 
 the individual code contains extra data for individualization that can be used to disable the individual code after use of the code data.    
     
     
         11 . The consumer article as claimed in  claim 9  or  10 , characterized by 
 an object for an additional extra utility in addition to the code.  
 
     
     
         12 . The consumer article as claimed in one of  claims 9  to  11 , in which the consumer article contains a container for the extra utility, characterized in that the code is placed in the container in written form.  
     
     
         13 . The consumer article as claimed in  claim 11  and  12 , characterized in that 
 the object for the additional extra utility is also placed in the container.  
 
     
     
         14 . A database, for operation in a public data network, that is accessible using an individual code containing code data for accessing the database and additional data for individualization, characterized in that 
 a selection is made from a stock of programs in the database using the individual code, so that only one selected program can be initialized for a predetermined time, and in that the individual code is automatically disabled after a predetermined number of accesses.    
     
     
         15 . The database as claimed in  claim 14 , characterized in that 
 the individual code is automatically disabled after one single access to an offered program.    
     
     
         16 . The database as claimed in  claim 14  or  15 , characterized in that 
 a program predetermined by the individual code is offered for access.  
 
     
     
         17 . The database as claimed in  claim 14  or  15 , characterized in that 
 the individual code is used to enable access to the programs on offer, and in that an offered program is selected automatically using a selection program.  
 
     
     
         18 . The database as claimed in one of  claims 14  to  17 , characterized in that 
 prior to offering a program, an initialization dialog is opened in which user data is requested, and in that the offered program is selected on the basis of the user data provided.  
 
     
     
         19 . The database as claimed in  claim 18 , characterized in that 
 in the database one program in each program group can be opened by the individual code, and the selection of the program group is determined by the user data provided.    
     
     
         20 . The database as claimed in one of  claims 14  to  19 , characterized by 
 a memory device for disabled individual codes.  
 
     
     
         21 . The database as claimed in one of  claims 14  to  20 , characterized by 
 a memory device for personal passwords, which are assigned to a program opened when the password is entered.  
 
     
     
         22 . The database as claimed in one of  claims 14  to  21 , characterized in that
