Abstract

A method that includes allowing an installer to install a system at a location, using a biometric reader to collect the installer's biometric identifier upon installation, and using a communications device to notify a central station of the system's installation and transmit the installer's biometric identifier and time of installation to the central station. A method that includes providing a mobile postage system at a location, fixing the mobile postage system to a structure at the location, allowing a service user to secure a secure access panel on the mobile postage system, and allowing users to use the mobile postage system.

Claims (42)

1. An automatic transmission mobile post office installation verification system comprising:

a housing;

a processor positioned within the housing;

a display device coupled to the housing and the processor;

a user input device coupled to the processor;

a camera coupled to the housing and the processor;

a biometric reader coupled to the housing and the processor;

a communications device coupled to the processor;

a secure access panel comprising a locking mechanism, wherein the secure access panel is incorporated in the housing; and

computer executable instructions readable by the processor and operative to:

use the locking mechanism of the secure access panel to allow an installer to perform a first-time securing of the secure access panel to the housing using the locking mechanism while performing a first-time installation of the system at a location;

use the biometric reader to collect the installer's biometric identifier while performing the first-time installation of the system;

use the communications device to notify a central station of the system's installation and transmit the installer's biometric identifier and time of the first-time installation to the central station;

following a first-time initialization process by the central station, wherein the first-time initialization process comprises using the biometric reader to verify the identity of the installer, and verifying a time of the first-time installation:

use the display device to display functionality options to a user, wherein the functionality options comprise:

log in to a user account;

enter an electronic message;

scan a document;

upload a digital document;

transmit the electronic message, document, or digital document to a recipient;

purchase postage;

purchase electronic postage;

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer executable instructions are operative to allow a user to access their financial statements.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a computer readable medium reading device, wherein computer readable medium reading device is coupled to the processor.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a payment module,

wherein the payment module is coupled to the processor.

9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one parcel receiving module, wherein the parcel receiving module is coupled to the housing.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first-time initialization process comprises using a location determination device coupled to the processor to determine and verify a location of the system.
