| 20080249964 | Method for providing a refund for indicium-based postage - A refund processing system and method where mailpiece identification information carried in first indicia is embedded in second indicia. Second indicia are stored in a database. A refund processor receives a request for a refund that includes identifiers of mailpieces for which a postage refund is sought. The refund processor determines if a corresponding second indicia is stored in the database, if any such indicia is authentic and monitors the mailstream to determine if any mailpiece corresponding to the identifier in the refund request is processed by the carrier. If an authentic second indicia is found that corresponds to the mailpiece and the mailpiece identifier is not detected in the mailstream, the refund is processed and the requester's account is credited to an amount equal to the postage borne by the second indicia. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080281758 | Postage value exchange system and method - A postage value exchange system and method provides for the improved generation of postage indicators. A meter requesting device sends a meter request to a postage security device (PSD). The PSD processes the request based on the identification of the requesting device and a comparison of available metering funds. If authorized, the PSD provides a meter response that includes an authorization. Based on this authorization, the requesting device may thereupon locally generate the postage indicator, eliminating processing and transmission overhead from the PSD generating these indicators. | 11-13-2008 |
