Abstract

L'invention concerne un système intégrant des systèmes d'achat d'étiquettes d'adresse et/ou d'affranchissement et des informations disponibles localement à une station de travail ou réseau local d'utilisateur ainsi que des informations disponibles globalement par l'intermédiaire d'un serveur de service postal. Le système obtient localement des adresses postales de l'utilisateur ou du réseau d'utilisateur et/ou globalement d'un serveur de service postal. Le système peut ainsi fournir une adresse à partir de la station de travail de l'utilisateur, puis une adresse postale mise à jour ou plus appropriée à partir d'informations disponibles par l'intermédiaire du service postal. De plus, le système met à jour les informations d'affranchissement et d'étiquettes postales fournies par l'utilisateur dans une session qui, soit se termine lorsque l'utilisateur imprime localement des timbres et des étiquettes d'adresse, soit continue afin de permettre à l'utilisateur d'imprimer ou d'obtenir les étiquettes d'affranchissement ou d'adresse au bureau de poste en communication avec le serveur de service postal. Le système fournit également à l'utilisateur d'autres services financés par le compte postal de l'utilisateur. Le système peut fournir des services tels que le transferts de fonds, ou créditer des cartes téléphoniques, etc., et débite en conséquence le compte postal de l'utilisateur. Le système peut également envoyer des messages d'état à l'utilisateur, un destinataire déterminé ou les deux, attestant le transfert ou la distribution de fonds, de courriers, etc. De plus, le système peut être combiné à un système de suivi et de localisation de courriers personnels, afin de fournir à l'utilisateur d'autres services basés entièrement ou en partie sur des informations mises à jour par ou sous le contrôle du service postal.
