CA 2492492

A closed loop postage metering system includes networked meters that provide mailers and/or recipients the capability to request additional or modified services during processing of a mail piece by a carrier. The networked meter allows the Post to charge the mailer, or even the recipient for these services or to provide them with a refund or credit. The services can include changing the processing of the mail piece. Further, the closed loop postage metering system enables more precise methods of paying for services when multiple carriers handle a mail piece. A special case of such multiple carriers handling is the handling of international mail.

L'invention concerne un système d'affranchissement postal en boucle fermée comprenant des compteurs en réseau conçus pour permettre à des expéditeurs et/ou à des destinataires de demander des services supplémentaires ou de modifier des services pendant le traitement d'un courrier par un préposé. Le compteur en réseau permet à la poste de facturer ces services à l'expéditeur ou même au destinataire, ou de leur octroyer un remboursement ou un crédit. Les services peuvent comprendre la modification du traitement du courrier. D'autre part, ce système d'affranchissement permet la mise en oeuvre de méthodes plus précises pour le paiement des services lorsque plusieurs préposés manipulent un courrier. Un cas particulier dans lequel plusieurs préposés manipulent un courrier concerne le courrier international.
