Patent number: 7809654Abstract: This invention relates to a mail handling system intended for printing postal indicia on a mail item, comprising a franked label dispenser allowing the print of postal indicia on a label intended thereafter to be stuck on the mail item, and a control computer terminal intended to remotely control print of the postal indicia on the label. It also preferably comprises electronic scales for previously determining the weight of the mail items having then to be printed, control of these scales being effected remotely from the control computer terminal and the remote control from the computer terminal is advantageously effected by short distance radio link, preferably of the Bluetooth or like type.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2002Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Neopost IndustrieInventors: Patrick Blanluet, Thierry Le Jaoudour

Publication number: 20050289060Abstract: In a secure method of consulting article delivery receipts from a remote computer terminal connected to a management computer center via a telecommunications network, a digital image of each receipt is initially input to a portable terminal that includes a radio interface for transmitting said image to the management computer center. In order to consult the digital image in secure manner from the remote computer terminal, provision is made in said remote computer terminal to use a unique key kSESSION that is different on each consultation in order to decrypt first data E1 generated in the portable terminal from the digital image, said unique key kSESSION itself being the result of the management computer center using one of its own private keys kPRIVNLS to decrypt second data E2 generated in the portable terminal from the unique key kSESSION.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2005Publication date: December 29, 2005Inventors: Cyrus Abumehdi, Patrick Blanluet, Axel Glaeser
