摘要:
A method for the secure reading of answers to questions or quires by an RFID reader that were made by marking answers with a pencil or ballpoint pen on a material. The questions are securely transmitted because an identification on the material indicates the order of the transmitted questions or from which electrical contacts the answers correspond to.

In a printer system where a print head is used to print on a flat material moving on a surface along a moving direction, a first creasing surface and a second creasing surface disposed on different sides of the flat material are used to make a crease on the flat material. The first creasing surface is mounted on a housing and the second creasing surface is disposed along the length of a track substantially perpendicular to the moving direction. The first and second creasing surfaces are substantially complementary to each other such that when these creasing surfaces are moved closer to each other, they cause the flat material to bend. A movement mechanism is then used to move the housing along the track so that the bending of the flat material forms a crease from one side of the flat material to the opposing side.

A method that allows one to mark information with a pencil or ball point pen on a material and have the marked information represent answers to questions or responses to queries that may be read while the material is contained in an envelope. The material may be any cellulose type product, i.e., paper, cardboard, chipboard, wood or plastic, fabric, animal hide, etc. The marked entered information may be corrected by erasing the written information with an eraser and writing new information on the paper with a pencil or ball point pen.

A method of changing delivery parameters of a mail piece is provided including mailing the mail piece; sending an intended recipient of the mail piece information regarding the mailed mail piece; providing the intended recipient with an opportunity to change at least a first one of the delivery parameters of the mail piece after the mail piece has been mailed; and limiting the intended recipient from changing the first delivery parameter of the mail piece based upon an instruction sent to a service provider by a mailer of the mail piece.

A method of enabling remote deposit of checks includes receiving at a second site a plurality of check images and a plurality of entered dollar amounts, wherein the check images were generated at the depositor site by scanning the checks and the entered dollar amounts were manually entered at the depositor site. Each of the entered dollar amounts correspond to a respective one of the check images. The check dollar amounts are read from the check images at the second site using character recognition, and certain of the entered dollar amounts are used as hints to improve the accuracy of the character recognition. The enhanced character recognition results are provided to the depository bank along with the check images to enable the checks to be deposited in the depositor's account.

A system and method that allows mailers of all sizes to pay for permit mail without presenting cash or a check at the time of induction is provided. A permit payment aggregator establishes a master account with the postal system for the payment of permit mail. A plurality of mailers each establish a separate account with the permit payment aggregator and transfer control of payment of mail inducted under their respective permit imprints to the permit payment aggregator. When the mailer desires to send a mailing, a request for payment of postage is made to the permit payment aggregator, which processes the information related to the mailing. The induction site communicates with the permit payment aggregator and the mailing as presented is compared with the information processed by the permit payment aggregator. If the mailing is accepted, the master account is debited for payment.
摘要:
A system for automatically generating and distributing information relating to relationships between an enterprise and other parties. The system includes a computer for processing documents and a database system which includes a database of information relating to relationships between an enterprise and other parties; and a sever for controlling access to the database and for communicating with the computer. The computer is programmed to: monitor a document as it is processed by a user on the computer; identify a reference to a party in the document; and send information identifying the party to the server. The server is programmed to: receive the identifying information; access the database for information relating to a relationship between the enterprise and the party; and if a record relating to the party exists in the database, send the information relating to a relationship between the enterprise and the party to the computer. The information is generated, at least in part, based upon responses by system users to surveys generated by the server when another party is identified. The information sent relates to the value of the relationship to the enterprise and to the quality of the relationship. The information is also generated, at least in part, based upon survey responses by other enterprises. The system also can receive a request from the user for information from other information sources and the server is further programmed to formulate an inquiry to an information source in response to the request.
摘要:
A system and method for providing mailpiece notification to a mailpiece recipient prior to delivery of the mailpiece from a postal carrier system in which a database is accessible by the postal carrier system that contains a recipient's prescribed mailpiece address information and preferred communication channel for receiving the advanced notification regarding impending delivery of the mailpiece. A postal carrier system receives information relating to at least the subject matter, the addressee and a web link relating to information for the mailpiece being processed in the postal carrier mailpiece delivery system and then determines whether the addressee information present on the deposited mailpiece matches a recipient's addressee information prescribed in the database. When a match is determined an electronic notification is sent to the mailpiece recipient via the prescribed at least one communication channel notifying the mailpiece recipient of the subject matter for the mailpiece currently deposited with the postal carrier system for delivery to the recipient and as well as providing the related web link to the recipient.
摘要:
A method for providing a secure communications channel for the transmission of large amounts of information between a RFID tag and a RFID reader. A laser beam is utilized to carry information and power from the RFID reader to the RFID tag. Thus, the laser beam has a dual use as an information carrier and a source of power for the RFID tag. Thus, only individuals and/or equipment that can both see the laser transmission and hear the RFID transmission can eavesdrop on the RFID tag RFID reader transmissions. This invention allows the use of complex algorithms to protect data being communicated because they can use the increased level of power available to the RDIF tag.
