| 20090012915 | Method and Device for Franking Mail - A method for franking mail, whereby a franking mark is generated in a franking unit, transmitted to an operating unit, connected to the franking unit, and printed out in a printing unit. A user interface is provided at the operating unit by the franking unit, and the printing out of the franking mark, generated in the franking unit and transmitted to the operating unit, is controlled by the user interface, whereupon the franking mark is printed exactly once one each piece of mail. The invention further relates to a device suitable for carrying out said method. | 01-08-2009 |

| 20100063943 | REPRESENTATION OF THE RESULT OF AN INSPECTION STEP IN AN INTELLIGENT DOCUMENT - There is provided a method and system for producing an intelligent document comprising a program which, when a precondition has been met, can be executed by a program execution environment, the intelligent document containing contents that can be displayed by a display program. An exemplary method comprises incorporating a program module into the intelligent document, the program module being configured to create displayable information indicating a result of a checking step in order to check whether the precondition has been met within the intelligent document. The exemplary method also comprises inserting displayable information indicating a negative result of the checking step into the intelligent document. The exemplary method additionally comprises transforming, with the program module, the information indicating the negative result of the checking step into displayable information indicating a positive result of the checking step. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100133341 | METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A MACHINE-READABLE CODE APPLIED TO A POSTAL ITEM, DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD, POSTAL ITEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING THE POSTAL ITEM WITH THE MACHINE-READABLE CODE - There is provided a method for detecting a machine-readable code that has been applied onto a mailpiece in a selected area of a surface of the mailpiece, whereby the selected area is at least 1 cm away from at least one nearby edge area of the mailpiece. An exemplary method comprises checking for the presence of at least two parallel lines in the selected area. The exemplary method also comprises beginning a detection of modules of the machine-readable code comprising a data-matrix code at a predefinable distance from one of the lines. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100179685 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND LOGISTICS SYSTEM FOR CARRYING A MAIL DISPATCH - There is provided a method for conveying a mailpiece, whereby a first machine-readable code is applied onto the mailpiece as a data matrix code or stored in a transponder. An exemplary method comprises detecting the machine-readable code by at least one reading unit. The exemplary method also comprises applying a second machine-readable code onto the mailpiece as a linear code or storing the second machine-readable code in the transponder. The exemplary method additionally comprises storing information about a link between the first code and the second code in a data processing system. A service request is received and, depending on content of the service request, the service request is converted and forwarded to a provider server for a service. | 07-15-2010 |
