A method and system for dynamically optimizing the amount of an automatic refill of a shared virtual postage meter is disclosed. A desired time between refills is predetermined based on the capacity of the system to perform refills, the time required to process a refill, and the impact of performing a refill on the overall performance of the system. A refill amount candidate is then determined based on the predetermined desired time between refills, the elapsed time since the last refill and the amount of the last refill. The determined refill amount candidate is then further validated to insure that it falls within a range of a predetermined minimum and maximum refill amounts. One validated, the refill amount candidate is the optimal refill amount, and the shared virtual postage meter is refilled accordingly.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant d'optimiser dynamiquement la quantité d'une recharge d'une affranchisseuse mécanique virtuelle partagée. Un temps souhaité est prédéterminé entre les recharges, sur la base de la capacité du système à effectuer des recharges, du temps requis pour traiter une recharge et de l'influence d'une recharge sur le rendement général du système. Une quantité de recharge candidate est ensuite déterminée sur la base du temps souhaité entre les recharges, du temps écoulé depuis la dernière recharge et de la quantité de la dernière recharge. La quantité de recharge candidate déterminée est ensuite de nouveau validée afin de vérifier qu'elle est comprise entre des quantités de recharge minimale et maximale. Une fois validée, la quantité de recharge candidate correspond à la quantité de recharge optimale et l'affranchisseuse mécanique virtuelle partagée est rechargée en conséquence.
