Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Sicherheit von Frankiermaschinen bei der Guthabenübertragung, mit mindestens zwei Modi. Im Ergebnis des Überwachens einer autorisierten Handlung an der Frankiermaschine, wird in einem Schritt (209) der Systemroutine (200) ein Sicherheits-Flag X gelöscht und bei seinem Fehlen die Frankiermaschine in einen ersten Modus überführt (Schritt 409), um sie damit wirksam außer Betrieb zu setzen. Anderenfalls wird in einem Sondermodus negative Fernwertvorgabe durch Setzen eines Sonder-Flags N eingetreten, wenn die vorbestimmte Bedienhandlung zum Seiteneinstieg in den Sondermodus beim Einschalten vorgenommen wird. Die Kommunikation (300) mit der Datenzentrale läuft unter zeitlicher und zustandsmäßiger (Flags) Überwachung durch die Steuereinheit der Frankiermaschine bis zur Vollendung der Transaktion ab. Von der Datenzentrale wird das Verhalten des Frankiermaschinenbenutzers auf der Basis von während der Kommunikation übermittelten Daten überwacht.
