Definitions
- the invention relates to a franking strip dispenser system with credit card billing, which prints a date, a postage value and an advertising slogan on a franking strip.
- Franking machine is released via a read / write unit for an IC card and a control unit for postage printing. Data on the amount of money used and the number of prints are stored on the IC card. This means that different people with their own IC cards and / or companies can jointly use a franking machine in order to reduce the acquisition and maintenance costs for the individual user. A security of the fee accounting is guaranteed by the complex accounting system integrated in the franking machine.
- This sharing is relatively time consuming when e.g. B. the franking machine is occupied by a user and is only available to the next user after a long waiting time or when access to the franking machine is associated with travel times.
- the invention was based on the object of creating a franking system with credit card billing, which is more economical to purchase and maintain than one
- a printing unit, a processor system and a read / write device for are in a common housing 1 of the franking strip dispenser
- Refilling the strip storage container is the only external access to the franking strip dispenser. In terms of security, these accesses are shielded from the processor system and the printing unit.
- a further opening 7 is provided for receiving energy sources, for example batteries or rechargeable batteries, for operation independent of the mains.
- the loading of the postage credit card is carried out by an authorized institution, e.g. B. the manufacturer of the system or a postal authority.
- This institution is equipped with a corresponding read / write unit for the postage credit cards and carries out the settlement of the default amount to be loaded onto the postage credit card between the cardholder and the postal service.
- the processor system is the link between the printing unit and the reader / writer and is connected to them via information and signal lines. Between the processor system and the reader / writer, the digitized data for identification,
- Tax data for printing the individual advertising slogan data of the postage value to be printed and the
- the signal lines between the devices are used for the transmission of control and security data.
- the printing units used are preferably those which work without printing types and are therefore able to print the various advertising fields stored on postage credit cards. These are preferably matrix flatbed or
- the operating device consists of a keyboard 4 for
- a display e.g. B. a display 5. It is coupled to the processor system such that the setting of the postage value to be printed out is only possible incrementally or decrementally in the minimum increments of the value increments of the applicable postage fee table, starting from a standard franking value or from the franking last entered.
- the desired franking value is set by pressing the increment or decrement key on the keyboard 4 several times. Finally, the displayed amount is correct
- the desired franking value it is made valid by pressing the "SET" key.
- the postage credit card to be inserted into the franking strip dispenser is electrically connected to the read / write device, thereby reading and writing data from or into the memory of the card is possible.
- a separate identification and / or secret code can be used in a known manner to activate a data transmission
- the postage credit card contains a processor system consisting of a processor, a program memory, a volatile data memory and a non-volatile data memory, and a serial input / output interface.
- the non-volatile data memory is divided into a first and a second memory area.
- the first storage area contains the information about the current postage credit value. This memory area was loaded with a postage credit value, of which with each franking process
- the second memory area contains the data for printing the advertising slogan.
- the memory areas can be controlled separately, so that the advertising slogan may not be printed.
- the storage area for advertising clichés must be unchangeable when the postage credit storage area is reloaded.
- the memory area for the advertising cliché can only be specifically controlled via a device that is independent of the postage credit issuing device if the cliché is to be created, changed or deleted.
- the non-volatile memory of the postage credit card instead of the current residual value of the previously loaded postage credit, the to the sum of the frankings made, which is offset between the user's account and the postal service account in a certain cycle, the latter resetting the memory area of the postage credit card to zero.
- the postage credit card is to be inserted into a corresponding reading device, which in turn is connected to a personal computer.
- a special software implemented on the PC reads the corresponding contents of the postage credit card and compiles a j u u r n a l a u s d r u c k.
- Portable data carriers such as IC cards, chip cards or similar reloadable systems are used as postage credit cards.
