Definitions

  • the invention relates to a franking system having an electronic data processing device and a data memory connected thereto on the input side, as well as a franking machine having an interface on the output side of the data processing device for a connection of the data processing device to a data center.
  • two modems are used for the communication, as mentioned above, in order to be able to establish a data connection by means of a two-wire connection.
  • the data streams of the interfaces with different principles on one side of the telephone service provider are modulated on the two-wire telephone line to be demodulated on the other side.
  • the mediating technology PSTN is used to connect through the infrastructure of the telephone service provider to be able to connect, which is typically billed by the minute.
  • the communication between franking and data center is performed directly by IP technology.
  • the transmission of data from the franking machine to the data center is here supported by the Internet technology.
  • the franking system and the data center are for this purpose connected to the necessary means, ie, they have the required mechanics, hardware and software.
  • modems network devices IP connection
  • routers, xDSL modems etc. are used. Since the data between the franking system and the data center are transferred by default via the Internet, they must be protected by various known measures not mentioned here.
  • a GSM modem is used.
  • the current GSM communication network is referred to as 2G, those with upgraded data transmission capabilities as 2.5G and newer networks (UMTS, HSDPA, LTE) as 3G.
  • UMTS, HSDPA, LTE newer networks
  • 3G newer networks
  • the technology of the GSM modem is constantly updated. This modem has the necessary features to be used in any mobile network mentioned.
  • the subscriber is identified in the mobile network by means of a SIM card.
  • the SIM card contains security elements with which the identity of a subscriber can be clearly assigned in combination with a PIN.
  • the mobile communication network also consists of various transmission technologies.
  • CSD carrier switched data analogous to Fig. 1 establish a connection that is billed every minute. Among other things, this type of connection is relatively slow, prone to failure and correspondingly expensive in international traffic.
  • the packet-oriented switching technology could also be used here.
  • franking documents such as envelopes a postage meter according to the US 2009/0150305 A1 known, which has a franking machine.
  • This has an analogue connection module (modem) for a wired connection to a communication network.
  • the modulator-demodulator is based on the conversion of digital data transmitted by the postage meter machine into analogue data, and conversely, analogue data coming from the telephone line into digital data intended for the postage meter machine.
  • the connection module cooperates with a data storage having different data sent out of the postage meter. These data are intended for example for franking and billing information and are used by different registers of the machine.
  • the postage meter machine is capable of communicating via a communication network with a server 10, in particular with the switching telephone network STN.
  • the connection module is connected via a connector to the switched telephone network.
  • the franking system further consists of adaptation means between the franking machine and a wireless communication network.
  • the adaptation means include a converter adapted to convert signals of a cable communication network produced by a postage meter into signals needed by a wireless communication network.
  • the converter is adapted to convert a signal used by a wireless communication network into a signal for a communication network intended for a postage meter. Basically it goes with the US 2009/0150305 A1 therefore, to convert signals used in a wired communication network to be usable in a wireless communication network, and vice versa.
  • the object is achieved in that the franking system has a transmission unit connected to the interface of the franking machine for the bidirectional transmission of exclusively digitally processable signals, without conversion into analog signals, between franking machine and data center.
  • the Fig. 2 to 4 show a franking machine 1 of a franking system 3 with a data memory 2, which consists at least of the necessary for the operation of the franking system 3 registers, such as "ascending" and “descendig” registers.
  • the franking machine includes a data processing device 4 with an electronic computer, which is connected on the one hand to the data memory 2 and, on the other hand, connected to a serial interface 5 of the franking machine 1.
  • the serial interface 5 is preferably guided by a mechanical connector, which is designated, for example, according to the standard RS232 or V.24 and is designed as DSub9, DSub25 or RJ11 and is accessible from outside the franking machine.
  • a transfer unit 6 is used which, on the one hand, has a Connection to the franking machine 1 via the serial interface 5 forms, without this for the purpose of mechanically, electrically or software-technically to change the franking machine 1 resp. to be adapted to the transmission unit 6.
  • the transmission unit 6 has at least two further interfaces (connections) which can be used wirelessly 7 and / or by a wire connection 8 and are provided for connection to a data center 52. Physically, the wireless connection is made using either an internal or an external antenna of the franking system 3. On the side of a data center 52, a server 11 built by the franking machine manufacturer may be present to support the franking system 3 and to connect to a mail server 12 for data exchange. Furthermore, the franking system according to the invention can have a management server 9 assigned to the data center 52.
  • the latter can be operated independently of the established server 11.
  • a sub-unit 17 provides a first serial interface 6d, facing the franking system, the required properties, such as adjustable speed, parity, bit number etc. available.
  • This first interface 6d of the subunit 17 adopts the data stream coming from the franking machine 1 and forwards it to a first interface unit (serial interface unit) 13. The same is the case with a data flow flowing in the opposite direction, from the first interface unit 13 to the franking machine 1.
  • the basic settings of the above-mentioned properties of the subunit 17 are stored in a register 19a and the possible changes of the basic settings in register 19b.
  • the registers 19a, 19b may be adjusted from the outside via the first interface 6d or via an interface 6e in the rearward direction from the data center 52 or possibly from the management server 9, for example via a wireless or a wired connection.
  • the first serial interface 6d is physically by a mechanical connector, for example, the RS232 resp. V.24 corresponds, executed.
  • the data stream received by the first interface 6d from the franking machine 1 is processed in the subunit 13.
  • a component 13a of the interface unit 13 evaluates the modem-specific commands received from the franking machine 1 and sends back a corresponding response to the franking machine 1.
  • the subunit 13 is designed in the form of software, which is stored in a program memory 18a and exchanged, if necessary, respectively. can be replaced. An exchange of software via interface 6d, interface 6e or wireless resp. by a wire connection from the management server 9.

  • the initiated by the connection setup command resp. triggered operation sets up a corresponding connection from the data processing unit 14 to the data center 52 according to the settings in register 20a and the possible settings in register 20b.
  • a component 13c of the interface unit 13 the data received by the franking machine 1 are forwarded as a data stream to the processing unit 14. The data stream is then transferred indirectly to the data center 52. A data stream supplied by the data center 52 to the data processing unit 14 is also forwarded indirectly in the opposite direction to the franking machine.
  • the software program stored in program memory 18a for communication and / or data backup protocols is available in a component 13d of interface unit 13. This protocol software undertakes the conversion of the data supplied by a franking system in a data stream and forwards them to the data processing unit 14. The same again applies in the reverse direction from the data center 52.
