- the method according to the invention preferably includes at least two substeps. At least one of the two sub-steps expediently includes a determination as to whether the franking corresponds to a predetermined graphic symbol. At least one further check step preferably includes a check whether a security feature is present.
- An expedient embodiment of the method provides that in the event that the graphical information corresponds to one of the stored images of the frankings, the mail item is subjected to a further checking step in order to determine whether a security feature is present.
- the mail item is subjected to a further checking step.
- a further expedient embodiment of the invention provides that in the event that the graphic information does not correspond to one of the stored images of the postage, the mail item is subjected to a further checking step.

- the invention is explained below on the basis of a check of postage indicia applied to postal items in a stand-up machine.
- the execution of at least one of the components of the checking method in a stand-up machine is preferred, since the surface of the mail item in the stand-up machine is particularly easily accessible is.
- the franking can also be checked at other locations. These locations are preferably located for checking within letter or freight centers. It is particularly expedient here for one or more of its components to be checked in sorting or distribution machines.
- the method for checking frankings in sorting or distribution machines has the advantage that the method for checking can be carried out particularly quickly and in large numbers.
- FIG. 1 shows a stand-up machine suitable for carrying out the invention.
- the stand-up machine contains an input point 1 for the mail items, a free-running path 2, one
- Symbol recognition unit ACR means 3 for recognizing the presence of a postage stamp, in the simplest case a stamp, a turning path 4 and a further free-running path 5 adjoining the turning path 4.
- Another means 6 for checking whether a further security feature is present is preferably located at the point marked 6.
- a stamp device 7 and stacking compartments 8 are arranged in the course of a conveyance route of the mail items following the further means for checking the further security feature.
- the system is preferably controlled by a suitable digital circuit 9.
- the stand-up machine contains a sensor for detecting graphic information applied to the surface of mail items.
- the sensor is part of a symbol recognition unit (ACR).
- ACR symbol recognition unit
- the sensor S is preferably connected to a data processing unit, for example via a data line, which forwards graphic information determined by the sensor to other components of the symbol recognition unit.
- the symbol recognition unit ACR is preferably equipped in such a way that it recognizes graphic symbols and assigns them to graphic characters. That is why it is also known as Advanced Color Recognizer.
- the symbol recognition unit ACR is connected to a data processing unit, wherein the data processing unit enables and / or supports a comparison of the graphic information with stored representations of frankings.
- the symbol recognition unit can be connected to a computer. It is possible to equip the symbol recognition unit with its own computer. In particular in the case of larger verification centers for frankings, for example in letter centers, it is expedient for several symbol recognition units to be connected to a central computer. '
- Act a unit suitable for performing calculations for example a workstation, a personal computer, a microcomputer or a circuit suitable for carrying out calculations and / or comparisons.
- Verification center takes on verification tasks for several mail or freight centers. For example, it is possible for a postal service provider to operate a central computer for several, preferably all, letter centers and / or freight centers.
- the computer contains a database with a learning system for teaching symbols.
- the symbols are preferably graphic reproductions of postage stamps or other postage stamps.
- a freely selectable subset as the current database is preferably generated from a total amount of data contained in the database.
- the method instructions are preferably automated processing plans or program routines, which preferably control one or more of the functions of the device for checking the frankings.
- FIG. 2 A basic illustration of a preferred arrangement of means for checking the frankings is shown in FIG. 2.
- the checking device shown contains a symbol recognition unit ACR, which is connected to a data processing unit, not shown.
- the symbol recognition unit preferably contains one or more sensors which evaluate color information, in particular local distributions of color information, and compare this with predefined symbols.
- the symbol recognition unit is preferably used to recognize predetermined frankings, in particular stamps.
- the central data processing unit preferably contains a database with an expandable data memory, which contains information for recognizing symbols and can be expanded by additional information, so that the recognition rate is further improved by evaluating previous executions of the checking method can be.
- the device for checking the frankings also contains at least one means for checking the presence of a security feature.
- a first means for checking the presence of a postage stamp, in particular a stamp is designated BME, the abbreviation BME making it clear that in the simplest case the means is a stamp recognition unit that checks for the presence of a stamp and / or that Position of the stamp determined.
- the checking means designated BME is, for example, a fluorescence sensor.
- a light source is preferably arranged such that it covers the surface of the mail item or a selected area of the
- the surface of the mailpiece is irradiated in a targeted manner, so that areas provided with a fluorescent agent on the mailpiece are excited to fluoresce. This fluorescence is detected by the fluorescence sensor.
- the fluorescence sensor is preferably coupled to a first means for changing a letter run through the device.
- the further examination and / or the further letter run can be varied.
- a superfluorescence sensor serves as a means for checking the presence of a security feature.
- the superfluorescence sensor shown uses a physical effect not previously used to check stamps to check the authenticity of the postage.
- the anti-Stokes effect includes irradiation of the postage to be examined with low-energy electromagnetic radiation of high intensity, the excitation fluorescence of higher-energy electromagnetic radiation and the subsequent detection of the higher-energy electrical radiation.
- the sample is irradiated with higher-energy radiation (for example UV light) and the subsequent emission of low-energy radiation (for example visible light).

- Mail items P are first fed along an intended mail route to the first means ACR for checking the presence of stored graphic information.
- the letter run is changed and / or the operation of one or more means for checking the presence of a security feature is controlled.
- irradiation with light, in particular UV light, of the mail item or the area of the graphic symbol applied to the mail item checks whether the mail item, or in particular the surface area of the mail item, on which a stamp or another A fluorescent symbol is attached to contain a fluorescent dye.
- the mail items P which have a graphic symbol that corresponds to a permissible franking and / or fluorescence, are fed to a superfluorescence sensor. It is preferably investigated whether there is also a superfluorescence superfluorescence dye in the surface area which contains a conventional fluorescent dye.
- a spectral distribution of the light emitted by the area of the mail item is expediently examined and / or checked whether it contains spectral components with a previously defined wavelength and intensity.
- Security features can be replaced by equivalent means. Furthermore, it is expedient to provide, at suitable points on the device, options for ejecting mail items in which one or more of the security features cannot be found and / or which do not contain a graphic symbol specified for franking.
