Abstract

1417872 Electric selective signalling PITNEY-BOWES Inc 15 Nov 1973 [4 Dec 1972] 63131/73 Heading H4K [Also in Division G4] Postage meters 24 connected to a data centre 12 are equipped with locks 26 having combinations which vary in pseudo-random manner, the combination required at any time to unlock a meter being transmitted thereto upon receipt by the centre of a valid request for recharging the meter. Communication is via a "touch-tone" telephone 16, a data set 18 and a "voice answerback" unit 22. Each meter contains a register for accumulating the total postage used and a register which is incremented with each increment of prepaid postage with which the meter is recharged, and decremented as this postage is used. Means are provided to prevent more postage being used than has been paid for. When a meter needs recharging, the user phones centre 12 which requests the user's account number and the meter identification number. These are checked by a computer 20; if they are valid, the contents of the meter registers are requested. The computer checks their sum (which should be constant between rechargings) against the previously stored sum, if there is agreement, the computer checks that the user's account contains sufficient to pay for the postage increment requested and that all the combinations have not been used, transmits a new combination, and updates its files The user enters the new combination on keys 30, 32 and then the new increment by means of knob 28. The user is given three chances to transmit the correct account and meter numbers and register content. If these are not received, computer 20 breaks the connection or instructs the user to phone for assistance. There is also provision for checking that a meter was recharged after the last request, and that the registers have not or are not about to overflow. A new combination is generated by an algorithm (Fig. 3, not shown) each time a request is validated, only the current combination being stored. Each lock may contain its combinations on punched tape, or may comprise means for generating the combinations synchronously with generation by the computer.
