摘要： A postage meter mailing machine (1) includes an improved embedded user interface. The user interface is suitable for providing a user interface to the mailing machine and also a direct user interface to an external device in bus communication with the mailing machine. The mailing machine includes a programmable microcontroller for performing hard and soft system functions. The microcontroller includes non-volatile memories for storing data information and executable routine. The microcontroller is also in bus communication with a visual display (7) and a plurality of soft keys (8). Stored in the non-volatile memory is a plurality of system screens for display on said visual display (7). Each of the screens has a menu field and a prompt field and contains descriptors for a plurality of screen fields. Also, stored in the non-volatile memory are a plurality of text strings, a plurality of graphic display run routines, a plurality of routines for enabling the soft keys and for identifying subsequent screens as a result of operator activation of one of the soft keys. The user interface is programmed to identify a first screen and a screen select routine to (i) get the screen identified from said screen region of said memory and display on said display (7), (ii) get the text strings identified by said screen descriptor of said identified screen from said text region and display said text string in respective areas of said menu field of said screen, and enable said respective soft key (8) to said respective menu area, (iii) display dynamic information in the data window field of said display screen and execute a graphic routine, (iv) await activation of a soft key (8) and repeat for next screen till end. The microcontroller polls the system to determine whether any external devices are interfaced to the mailing machine, if so, the screen designated for control of said respective external devices is enabled.

摘要： A user interface system for an electronic postage meter mailing machine apparatus has a programmable microcontroller for controlling the hard and soft system functions of the postage meter mailing machine (1). A non-volatile memory stores data information and executable routines. A display (7) and a plurality of soft and hard keys 9,11,13,15) are provided. The soft keys (8) are aligned to a portion of the display (7). Stored in the NVM is a plurality of system screens for display on said visual display (7), each of said screens having a menu field having N columns and M rows, a data window field and a prompt field and having descriptors for each of said respective fields, a plurality of text strings, a plurality of graphic display run routines, and a plurality of routines for enabling said soft keys and for identifying said respective subsequent screen. The microcontroller is programmed under the influence of a user program being programmed to identify a first screen and then execute a screen select routine comprising the steps of (a) getting the screen identified from said screen region of said memory and display on said display, (b) getting the text strings identified by said screen descriptor of said identified screen from said text region and displaying said text string in respective areas of said menu field of said screen, and enabling said respective soft key for said respective menu area, and (c) displaying dynamic information in the data window field of said screen and executing graphic routine.
