摘要： A postage printing system, comprising a computer (150), a data center (200), a control system (152,202) and a redemption center (500). The computer (150) is in operative communication with a printer (120) for printing a postal indicium on an envelope (20). The data center (200) is in operative communication with the computer, which in turn is located remotely from the data center. The data center includes a plurality of user accounts (204) and a plurality of advertiser accounts (206) where each of the plurality of advertiser accounts includes respective ad data including coupon data and restriction data. The control system is in operative communication with the data center (200) and the computer (150) and is for: (i) establishing a transaction session between a user of the computer corresponding to one of the plurality of user accounts and the data center; (ii) obtaining recipient address information from the user; and (iii) using the recipient address information and the restriction data from the plurality of advertiser accounts to identify coupon data available for printing on the envelope in conjunction with the postal indicium. The redemption center (500) is in operative communication with the data center (200) and coupon redeemers for reconciling payments corresponding to redeemed coupons.

摘要： A method and system for maintaining the privacy of consumers (30,32,34) wishing to make a purchase while enabling them to benefit from a group discount is provided. Consumers register with a service provider (12) that maintains their personal information in private. When a consumer is interested in purchasing a product or patronizing a traditional "brick and mortar" establishment, the consumer provides information to the service provider (12) regarding such interest. The service provider (12) can query other registered consumers to determine if there are others that have a similar interest. Using the leverage of all the consumers (30,32,34) that respond to the query, the service provider (12) can negotiate with one or more merchants (40,42) to provide some type of group offer, without having to disclose the consumers' personal information. Upon successful negotiation of a group offer, the consumers will be provided with the offer.

摘要： A system and method is provided for printing an advertisement for insertion into a mailpiece. A customer computer system (150) communicates with a mailing service provider data processing system (80). The customer computer system (150) transmits to the mailing service provider data processing system (80) an electronic copy of at least one mailing address and at least one corresponding document to be mailed to the mailing address. The mailing address is cleansed as necessary by the mailing service provider data processing system (80), which then identifies a subset of third party advertisements available for insertion into a mailpiece to be assembled with the corresponding document. Enclosures to be printed from the subset of third party advertisements are selected by the customer or automatically by mailing service provider data processing system based on advertisement profiles. The corresponding document and the selected enclosures are printed and then inserted into an envelope to form the assembled mailpiece.

摘要： System and method for securely backing up and reliably retrieving vault data in a metering system that includes a host processor operatively coupled to a vault. Whenever a transaction is completed by the vault, the vault cryptographically signs the vault data, including ascending register, descending register and piece count and sends the cryptographically signed vault data to the host processor where it is stored in a data file assigned to the vault. Each storage of the cryptographically signed vault data is indexed to create a historical log of vault transactions. If the vault is lost or damaged so that vault data cannot be retrieved from the vault, the cryptographically signed vault data is retrieved from the host processor data file and verified.
