If no mention is made, the validation terminal acquires the data relating to the class of mail or the service (s) requested by the sender, inputted to the keypad of the terminal or received via its local network when it exists. (step 106). It may also comprise, in a step 108, an automatic determination of the format and / or the weight by the means 14B of the terminal. When this automatic determination is not possible (for a label for example), a keyboard entry of the terminal of the weight class can make up for this impossibility (step 108).
  • the processing means 14C of the validation terminal will determine, in a step 110, the amount to be paid by the sender and this amount associated with the unique identification number of the mail item extracted from the identification code by the means 14A and possibly associated with the class of mail or service (s) requested (s), when these are present on the mail piece or because of a seizure davier, is transmitted securely in a step 112 to the remote server of the dealer of the validation terminal for debit from the account of the sender. This data will then be retransmitted in a last step 114 to the server of the mail delivery service which will then be credited with the amount above.
  • the validation terminal will advantageously include a tracking database created at the start of the terminal or the first introduction of a mail item in this terminal and the enrichment of which will be carried out at each changeover. an article of mail in the validation terminal.
  • This database can be stored in the memory means of the processing means of the validation terminal or independently thereof outside the terminal, for example at the common resources of the local network when it exists.
  • It can include a large number of fields with, of course, the previously entered data, the amount to be paid, the unique identification number and the service requested, but also other data such as the validation terminal reference number, the name and the number of the terminal. establishment of the postal administration which will receive mail deposits, etc. All these data can of course if necessary also be transmitted to the remote server.
