    摘要： The improved user interface for a mail processing machine includes a barcode reader and an associated chart having barcodes which are readable by the barcode reader. The barcodes are respectively associated with commands, characters, and accounts such that messages may be constructed by reading selected barcodes from the chart for inputting commands and data into the mail processing machine. The barcode messages are converted into machine commands and data inputs for operation of the machine. Barcode information may also be supplied with batches of mail for ease of entry of pertinent control data for the batch.

    摘要： A metering system (10) requires a user to provide periodic, accurate meter readings to a billing authority.
    The metering system (10) includes a mechanism (24) for dispensing postage or another accountable quantity, an accounting mechanism (22,26) for updating and storing information regarding the amount of postage dispensed by the dispensing mechanism (24) and an output mechanism (30) for outputting the stored postage information. The system also includes a mechanism (28) for storing a time deadline, a clock (32) that provides a current date signal and a lock that disables the dispensing mechanism (24) when the current date is not before the stored deadline. The system also includes a reset mechanism for extending the stored deadline.
    A user of the system reads the output of the system to obtain a current meter reading. The user then telephones the billing authority's data center (20), provides the current reading to the data center and receives back from the center an encrypted combination that reflects the reading provided by the user. The user enters the combination into the system (10). The meter (10) decrypts the combination and verifies that the reading provided by the user matches the stored postage information. The meter then extends the stored deadline.

    摘要： A method of transferring update data from a microcomputer to a memory device having a transportable non-volatile memory median requiring that the transportable non-volatile memory median is divided into a plurality of sectors. Update data is to be written to data sectors of the transportable non-volatile memory median in accordance with a sector map. One of the sectors to be updated is the directory sector and another one of the sectors to be updated is the file access table sector. The microcomputer is programmed to reserve a specified number of sectors as a recovery area wherein some of the sectors of the recovery area are reserved for the sector map and other sectors of the recovery area are reserved for storage of the update data. The microcomputer identifies if a sector map resides in the recovery area. If no sector map resides in the sector map area of the recovery area, the microcomputer proceeds to identify which of the sectors are to be updated and generating a sector map accordingly. If a sector map resides in the recovery area, the microcomputer first writes data from the recovery area to the sectors according to the sector map and then proceeds to identify which of the sectors are to be updated and generating a sector map of the sectors to be updated. The microcomputer then writes the sector map and the update data to the recovery area before writing the update data to the sectors in accordance with the sector map. Once the respective sectors are updated the sector map is erased.

    摘要： A method and system for analyzing the usage of postage meters with respect to the history of meter recharges for the purpose of detecting fraudulent or improper usage of the meters. The apparatus includes an optical character recognition system which scans mail pieces in a stream of mail pieces to recognize postage amounts and meter identification numbers imprinted on the mail pieces. The apparatus also includes inputs for input of data representing the recharge history for postage meters which correspond to authorized identification numbers and thresholds, i.e. parameters against which expenditures and the refill history of a particular meter will be tested. A data processing system compares cumulative amounts of postage expended by a particular meter to determine if the difference between totals expended and total recharges exceeds the thresholds, indicating the possibility of fraudulent or improper use of that meter. When such possible fraudulent or improper use is detected the apparatus diverts the suspect mail pieces from the mail stream. In one embodiment the apparatus may include an input for input of particular meter identification number to be diverted. In another embodiment the apparatus may check for incorrect dates on mail pieces.
