Description

Svstème de traitement de courrier à affichage déporté
L'invention concerne un système de traitement de courrier à affichage déporté. Un système de traitement de courrier comporte classiquement un ou plusieurs sousensembles préparant le courrier en insérant un plusieurs documents dans une enveloppe, puis collant le rabat de cette enveloppe, et une machine à affranchir imprimant une marque d'affranchissement sur cette enveloppe. Classiquement, le ou les sous-ensembles préparant le courrier comportent un dispositif d'affichage pour afficher les informations concernant le fonctionnement propre à cette partie du système, et la machine à affranchir comporte un autre dispositif d'affichage pour afficher des informations concernant uniquement son fonctionnement propre, affichant notamment la valeur d'affranchissement et le contenu de registres de comptabilisation.
Remote display mail processing system
The invention relates to a remote display mail processing system. A mail processing system conventionally comprises one or more sub-assemblies preparing the mail by inserting several documents in an envelope, then sticking the flap of this envelope, and a franking machine printing a franking mark on this envelope. Conventionally, the sub-assembly (s) preparing the mail include a display device for displaying information concerning the operation specific to this part of the system, and the franking machine includes another display device for displaying information relating only to its clean operation, displaying in particular the postage value and the content of accounting registers.

Un tel système a généralement des dimensions telles qu'un opérateur ne peut pas à surveiller simultanément le sous-ensemble ou les sous-ensembles de préparation du courrier, et la machine à affranchir. Cette surveillance a pour but de détecter toute anomalie de fonctionnement, en particulier un bourrage dans un sous-ensemble de préparation du courrier, ou une erreur de tarif d'affranchissement dans la machine à affranchir. Such a system generally has dimensions such that an operator cannot simultaneously monitor the sub-assembly or sub-assemblies for mail preparation, and the franking machine. The purpose of this monitoring is to detect any operating anomaly, in particular a jam in a mail preparation sub-assembly, or a franking rate error in the franking machine.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un système de traitement de courrier permettant de remédier à cet inconvénient. L'objet de l'invention est un système de traitement de courrier à affichage déporté, comportant une machine à affranchir comportant un dispositif d'affichage et au moins un autre sous-ensemble comportant un autre dispositif d'affichage pour afficher des informations concernant son propre fonctionnement, caractérisé en ce que le dispositif d'affichage de l'autre sous-ensemble ou des autres sous-ensembles comporte des moyens pour afficher en outre des informations concernant le fonctionnement de la machine à affranchir. The object of the invention is to propose a mail processing system which makes it possible to remedy this drawback. The object of the invention is a remote display mail processing system, comprising a franking machine comprising a display device and at least one other sub-assembly comprising another display device for displaying information relating to its own operation, characterized in that the display device of the other sub-assembly or of the other sub-assemblies comprises means for further displaying information concerning the operation of the franking machine.

Le système ainsi caractzrisé remédie en partie aux inconvénients des systèmes connus, puisqu'il permet à un opérateur de surveiller le fonctionnement de l'ensemble du système lorsqu'il est à proximité du sous-ensemble ou des sous-ensembles de préparation du courrier, sans avoir à se déplacer pour lire le dispositif d'affichage de la machine à affranchir. The system thus characterized in part overcomes the drawbacks of known systems, since it allows an operator to monitor the operation of the entire system when it is close to the mail preparation sub-assembly or sub-assemblies, without having to move to read the display of the franking machine.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le système selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le dispositif d'affichage de la machine à affranchir comporte en outre des moyens pour afficher des informations concernant le fonctionnement de l'autre sous-ensemble ou des autres sousensembles. According to another characteristic, the system according to the invention is characterized in that the display device of the franking machine further comprises means for displaying information concerning the operation of the other sub-assembly or of the other sub-assemblies.

Le système ainsi caractérisé remédie complètement aux inconvénients des systèmes connus, puisqu'un opérateur peut surveiller le fonctionnement de l'ensemble du système quelle que soit la place de l'opérateur auprès du système : s'il est près du sous-ensemble ou des sous-ensembles de préparation du courrier, il n'a qu'à regarder le dispositif d'affichage de ce sous-ensemble ou de ces sous-ensembles; et s'il est près de la machine à affranchir, il n'a qu'à regarder le dispositif d'affichage de celle-ci. The system thus characterized completely overcomes the drawbacks of known systems, since an operator can monitor the operation of the entire system regardless of the place of the operator with the system: if it is close to the sub-assembly or the mail preparation sub-assemblies, he only has to look at the display device of this sub-assembly or these sub-assemblies; and if he is near the franking machine, he only has to look at the display device of the latter.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques apparaîtront à l'aide de la description cidessous et de la figure unique l'accompagnant. Cette figure représente un exemple de réalisation d'un système selon l'invention, qui comporte
- un sous-ensemble 1 de préparation du courrier, constitué par exemple d'une inséreuse, munie d'un dispositif d'affichage 3;
- une machine à affranchir 2 munie d'un dispositif d'affichage 4;
- et un câble de liaison 9 reliant ces deux sousensembles.
The invention will be better understood and other characteristics will appear with the aid of the description below and of the accompanying single figure. This figure represents an exemplary embodiment of a system according to the invention, which comprises
- A sub-assembly 1 for preparing mail, for example consisting of an inserter, provided with a display device 3;
- a franking machine 2 provided with a display device 4;
- And a connecting cable 9 connecting these two sub-assemblies.

Le dispositif d'affichage 4 de la machine à affranchir 2 comporte
