Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2048624A1] The method involves inputting an identifier (10A) of a post office box (10) at the level of a portable communication device (14) of a mailer of a post article (12), where the identifier is constituted in the form of a high capacity alphanumeric or digital data coding code, error corrections and two dimensional bar codes such as Aztec codes. The identifier is transmitted with postal data to a stamping service server (16) that is charged to provide stamping authorization for the mailer, where the data has a stamping value and a unique identification code (12B) related to the article. An independent claim is also included for a computer program comprising a set of instructions for performing a post article stamping method.
