Description

Mass mailing system and method for generating the same {BULK MAIL GENERATING SYSTEM AND GENERATING METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a mass mail generating system and a method of producing the same.

The present invention is derived from the research conducted as part of the IT new growth engine core technology development project of the Ministry of Information and Communication and the Ministry of Information and Communication Research and Development. [Task management number: 2006-X-001-02, Title: Development of real-time postal logistics element technology ].

Mass mailings are generally mails produced by companies that serve multiple customers for the delivery of bills or advertisements to individual customers.

In general, bulk mail is received by the central office and sorted by the central office of destination (the destination central office) of the delivery country to which these mails are delivered and sent to the destination central office. At this time, the centralized countries which receive mails and send them to the destination centralized station are called a dispatched centralized station. When large quantities of mails are received, the mails are classified in advance by the destination country, so that the mailing centers can send the goods directly without processing by the destination country. To receive this discount, the bulk mailer sorts the mail by the recipient's postal code size and then sorts the mailings based on the first three digits of the postal code, which identifies the destination country of the six postal codes. After receiving the dispatch, it is being accepted.

On the other hand, mails that arrive at the destination concentration station is sent to the delivery country to which the mail is delivered to be sent according to the automatic classification process. In this case, the first three digits of the postal code are used to classify the postal mail according to the corresponding country of delivery, and for this purpose, a plurality of separators having separately designated numbers to be classified and used are used. However, since a large amount of mail items are sorted by the destination concentration station and only in the order of postal code size, the mails that arrive at the destination concentration station need to be unnecessarily loaded into the separator. In other words, since the postal code (s) separated by the classification unit 1 and the postal code (s) that can be processed by the unit 2 separator are different from each other, the postal code (s) must be administered by the postal code. In the present situation, where the mail is not classified by group but simply classified by postal code, the mails are unnecessarily separated or manually sorted and placed on the mail.

In recent years, more than 70% of the normal mail volume is a large amount of mail, and thus reclassification of a large amount of mail causes not only a decrease in work efficiency but also a large increase in processing time.

The present invention has been made in an effort to provide a mass mail generating system and a method for generating the mail, which can implement an efficient mail automatic sorting process.

A mass mail generation method according to a feature of the present invention is a mass mail generation method of a mass mail generation system, which accesses a postal service server and obtains a designated processing number for each separator of a plurality of dividers provided in each of a plurality of central offices. And rearranging data of the mass mailing production file based on the designated processing number for each separator.

In addition, the mass mail generating system according to an aspect of the present invention, the postal service server for storing the specified processing number for each of the plurality of separators provided in each of the plurality of central offices and the designation process number for each separator based on the Includes a file processor that reorders the data of a mass mailing file.

According to a feature of the present invention, by automatically accessing the Internet by using a computer that does not have any hardware or equipment to convert the file, and to produce and receive the mail with the converted file, the automatic mail sorting process is made faster In addition, it is possible to implement a large amount of mail generating system and a method of generating the same that can implement the efficiency of the entire mail logistics.

Now, a mass mail generating system and a method of generating the same according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a mass mail generating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mass mail generating system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a central office classification criterion inputter 110, a postal service server 120, and a web system for a postal worker. .

The central station classification criterion inputter 110 transmits a division process number (hereinafter, referred to as a "division designation process number for each branch") designated for each divider of each concentrated station input by the central station manager to the postal service server 120.

The postal service server 120 includes a database (DB) 122 that stores a designated processing number for each separator input from the central office classification criteria input system 110, and a user authentication system for maintaining security.

Postal system web system 130 includes a file processor 132. The postal manufacturer web system 130 operates the file processor 132 based on the designated processing number for each separator stored in the postal service server 120. Here, the file processor 132 is for changing the sorting order of data of a file for producing a large amount of mail of a postal company (hereinafter, referred to as "mass mailing file"). The mass mailing company completes the creation of the mail production file through the mail production program that it has, and outputs the mails through the output program to access the web system 130 for the mail production company before producing the mail. The file processor 132 is operated, which will be described later.

For reference, the central office classification reference inputter 110, the postal service server 120, and the postal service server 120 and the postal manufacturer web system 130 may be connected to a wired network as well as a wireless network. At this time, a postal service representative who wants to access the postal service server 120 through the central office representative operating the central office classification reference inputter 110 and the postal producer web system 130 may use a postal service through a separate ID and password. It may be set to connect to the server 120.

2 is a view illustrating an operation principle of the file processor 132 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The file processor 132 receiving a large amount of mail production file is operated based on a separator-specific processing number stored in the database 122 of the postal service server 120, and thus, a separator-specific designation designated by the central office representative. It reorders and converts the data of the mass mailing file according to the processing number. The actual number of the designated processing number for each separator varies from time to time depending on the amount of mail or the situation of the central office, the mass mail generating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can reflect this in real time is very useful.

Meanwhile, a mass mailing company outputs mail using a converted file through a file processor, and manually sorts and dispatches the completed mails and receives them to the central office. In order to facilitate the task of assigning the assigned process number, it is recommended to designate the assigned process number per separator as follows.

That is, the central office person assigns the serial number of the separator for each central station, and the highest number among the designated processing numbers of the separator corresponding to the low serial number is higher than the lowest number among the designated processing numbers of the separator corresponding to the large serial number. Set to large.

For example, suppose that there are three separators in the central Seoul office, the first separator is 131, 132 and 142, the second separator is 136 and 150, and the third separator is 148 and 172, respectively. Set to. In this case, the person who dispatches the printed mass mail can recognize that the separator is changed by decreasing the size of the designated processing number, that is, the three digits before the postal code, so that it is easy to dispatch by the separator.

Hereinafter, a mass mail production method of a mass mail production company according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.
