ABSTRACT:
Apparatus in a microcomputerized postage meter internally generates a finite set of combination of numbers having a specifiable number of digits in each combination. The combinations are used to allow for the addition and removal of postal funds within the meter. The apparatus utilizes a modification of common coding schemes to implement the generation of the combinations. The modification provides for the generation of an intermediate combination of numbers from a seed table located within the postage meter. The modification thereafter provides for the generation of the internally generated combinations from the intermediate combination. Thus, the internally generated combination is generated by using existing code. By use of this modification, less memory capacity is necessary to store combinations than with previous combination generation schemes, thereby allowing for that capacity to be used for other functions within the postage meter.
