The express bill of the logistics package can be a paper bill or an electronic tag, the paper bill carries a bill information code and can be stably bound with the logistics package, and the bill printing output device prints digital codes generated by a bill information code generator and a bill number generator on the express bill or writes the digital codes into the electronic tag by using a reader-writer.

The express list of the logistics package is a full-digital bill information code without any Chinese characters, the bill information code at least comprises three information of an express list number, a recipient address digital code and a recipient notification information code, the positions of the corresponding numbers on the bill are not limited, the three information can be arranged together according to the sequence of the express list number, the recipient address digital code and the recipient notification information code, or the express list number, the recipient notification information code and the recipient address digital code, the application is not limited, and the positions of the three numbers on the bill do not influence subsequent information identification and sorting of the logistics package by automatic sorting equipment.

In the application, the automatic sorting equipment 2 can be used for generating a multi-stage sorting instruction based on address information obtained by automatically identifying the address digital codes of the recipients according to preset sorting rules, and conveying corresponding logistics packages to corresponding target sorting gates according to the sorting instructions at all stages. The automatic sorting equipment 2 comprises a functional module for automatically reading the bill information codes on the logistics package express bill, gives sorting instructions according to preset sorting rules based on the address information codes, and automatically executes sorting actions according to the sorting instructions. The sorting rules are related to the logistics transmission stages, corresponding sorting rules can be preset in different logistics transmission stages, and the logistics packages can go through a plurality of sorting processes from the collecting area to the outlet, and correspond to a plurality of sorting instructions. Of course, a sorting rule of the current transmission time interval may correspond to a sorting command or a plurality of sorting commands, the sorting command at least includes which logistic package is conveyed to which sorting grid, and may also include the time for the package to be conveyed from the sorting grid, the longest residence time of the package, and the like, and those skilled in the art may add required information in the sorting command according to actual needs, which does not affect the implementation of the present application.

In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the address information of the addressee of the bill information on the logistics package express bill is a string of digital codes, the digital codes are the digital codes which are generated by converting the address information input by the sender into numbers by using a preset address-digital coding rule without establishing a name address library according to pure characters in the related technology, the matching rule is simple, the address information in the bill is the digital codes generated by a unified standard rule, the identification difficulty and the comparison difficulty are greatly reduced, the database is not required to be accessed to call the address information, the automatic sorting equipment and the tail-end delivery equipment can accurately and efficiently identify and obtain the address information of the addressee based on the preset address-digital coding rule, the current situations of sorting, delivery errors and low efficiency caused by unclear address information of the addressee in the related technology are solved, and the logistics package is favorably and automatically sorted by efficiently and accurately identifying the logistics package, greatly improve the accuracy and the letter sorting efficiency of commodity circulation parcel letter sorting.

In the foregoing embodiment, the compiling method of the recipient address information code, that is, the preset address-number encoding rule is not limited, and an implementation manner of the preset address-number encoding rule in this embodiment may include the following contents:

the addressee information code can comprise an administrative division digital code and a detailed address digital code, the administrative division digital code comprises codes of province, city, county and town, and the administrative division digital code can be composed of 8 digits, and can be composed of more than 8 digits, which does not affect the implementation of the application. Since administrative divisions are relatively stable and relatively easy to organize, they can be seen in figure 2. The administrative division digital code is obtained by converting province or autonomous region or direct prefecture city or special administrative region, city or region or autonomous state or national direct prefecture city belonging to prefecture region and county, county or prefecture region or county-level city or flag, county or town in the address information of the receiver into corresponding numbers according to the administrative division code. To facilitate the sender knowing the address filling method, the first six digits can be encoded by using the existing identification card, for example 320582. Among them, 32 is Jiangsu province, 05 is Suzhou city, and 82 represents Zhang Home Port city. Since the county administrative units under the jurisdiction of the county administrative unit of China are the south counties of Sichuan province at most, the county administrative units comprise 2 streets, 31 towns and 40 towns, and 73 county administrative units in total, the county administrative units do not reach 3 digits, so that the county and town coding only uses two digits, and certainly, three digits can be adopted for subsequent expansion, and the implementation of the method is not influenced. Taking zhang hong kong as an example, whether the township codes or the townships codes are respectively coded according to 17 townships before merging can be determined according to the filling habits of the most senders in daily life, and the address coding rules of the townships can be shown in table 1:

TABLE 1 Configuration table for coding rules of village and town addresses

Town name	Encoding	Town name	Encoding	Town name	Encoding
						Poplar house	32 05 82 01	Morning sun	32 05 82 02	Great novelty	32 05 82 03
Harbor district	32 05 82 04	Rear wide ridge	32 05 82 05	De product of	32 05 82 06
						Pool bridge	32 05 82 07	Wonderful bridge	32 05 82 08	Deer yard	32 05 82 09
Jinfeng tea	32 05 82 10	Happy character	32 05 82 11	Musical instrument	32 05 82 12
						Megaly rich	32 05 82 13	Phoenix	32 05 82 14	Western Zhang	32 05 82 15
Port port	32 05 82 16	Changyin sand	32 05 82 17

Therefore, in the using process, the local receiver only needs to remember the last two digits for coding under the condition that the first 6 digits of the identification number are memorized. While the sender at the foreign location can be converted into a digital code by the system automatically according to the administrative district when filling out the address.

In the embodiment of the invention, the detailed address digital code can comprise a road code and a delivery point code, wherein the road code is a number which is compiled for all roads in a rural administrative area in advance, and the delivery point code is obtained by digitally coding the rest addresses which are not roads in the detailed address based on a house number and a delivery postal route sequence. After investigation and big data analysis, after dividing a district administrative area into dozens of township areas, the total number of roads is not more than 999, so that the road code can be represented by three digits. Of course, if the number of roads is larger than 999 in township, the road code can be adjusted to 4-digit number. And the delivery points on one road are not more than 9999 in the reasonable programming condition, that is, the road code can be represented by 4-digit numbers, and the digit number of the road code can be determined based on the actual requirement in the actual application process, which is not limited in the application.

In order to form a system and a rule, a grape bunch theory and a delivery point are provided according to the experience of actual delivery to compile detailed address codes. The grape bunch theory refers to that each specific delivery point is strung by using a road, the road is a branch, each delivery point is a grape, and an ordered address group which is seemingly like a grape bunch is formed. The concept of "delivery point" is also summarized in the actual delivery process. In the actual delivery process, when a deliverer takes the express mail distributed to the deliverer, the deliverer needs to do a section arrangement work, namely, the deliverers are sequentially arranged according to delivery routes and then put into a carrying tool so as to be sequentially delivered without omission. And the postmen do not completely depend on the detailed address on the menu but the actual delivery place in the sorting process. For example, pieces from a residential community, with centralized delivery locations such as a concierge or courier cabinet, all of the pieces from that community are grouped together as the same delivery point and do not need to be subdivided. The detailed addresses can thus be summarized in three broad categories "delivery points":

the first type is a residential concentrated residential site, which is generally a residential community in an urban area or a town area, and is generally a village group in a rural area. The second category is an enterprise and public institution, which is generally commercial buildings, large SHOPPING MALLs, and SHOPPING MALL in urban areas, and is commonly an industrial institution in industrial areas, and a plurality of enterprises exist in the same factory area. The third category is delivery points along streets or roads, in urban or township areas generally along streets shops, in industrial areas generally enterprises with independent house plates.

The coding rule corresponding to the road code can be comprehensively considered in the process of compiling: firstly, the method comprises the following steps: there cannot be repeated road numbering in the same town area. Secondly, the method comprises the following steps: if one road is long, the road can pass through a plurality of towns, and the road can pass through a plurality of areas in a large city; the road can be encoded in sections and independently encoded in the local town, and the same road code of different towns can be different, so that the road can better meet the requirement of actual sorting. Thirdly, the method comprises the following steps: in the relatively short minor streets in the urban area, the main roads are used as delivery mail routes in actual delivery, and the minor streets are combined and delivered by the same deliverer, so that the minor streets can be coded not separately, but the road codes of the main roads related to the minor streets are used. The delivery points of the small lanes are programmed into the delivery points of the main road according to the actual delivery sequence.

The coding rule corresponding to the delivery point code can be comprehensively considered during the compilation process:

firstly, the method comprises the following steps: the delivery routes of the daily deliverers are compiled in sequence. Secondly, the method comprises the following steps: the delivery points along the road basically take the house number as the basis, and the condition that the house number jumps is avoided only by not needing to be the same as the house number. The resident concentration area is used as a delivery point, and the enterprise and public institution concentration area is used as a delivery point. Thirdly, the method comprises the following steps: if the resident concentration area is a large community, a plurality of delivery points are compiled according to the actual delivery condition, and the automatic section arrangement of the equipment in the future is facilitated to be prepared.

In some other implementation manners of the embodiment of the invention, if the delivery point code is generated based on the number of the house number, the delivery route sequence and the type of the delivery point; the delivery point types are a resident concentration area and an enterprise concentration area, the delivery point codes further comprise a multi-building number and a multi-house number, the number of digits of the building number and the house number can be determined based on actual requirements, for example, the delivery point types can be a 3-building number and a 4-house number, and the application is not limited to this. That is, two sections of codes can be added for residential centralized areas and enterprise centralized areas to respectively represent building numbers and house numbers. Is convenient for delivering the parts and getting on the door. Building numbers are encoded in 3-digit numbers and house numbers are encoded in 4-digit numbers. This forms a recipient address digital code formed of an 8-bit administrative area code + 14-bit detail address code. The specific number of bits of the recipient address digital code can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and is not necessarily 22 bits. Correspondingly, in the embodiment of the invention, the bill information code generator converts the input address information of the addressee into the 22-bit addressee address digital code based on the preset address-digital coding rule, the addressee notification information code is the mobile phone number of the addressee in principle, the basic digit is 11, and if the address information code is the fixed-line telephone notification information code, the number is 8. As shown in fig. 3, the receipt data on the receipt of the logistics package may include 13-bit receipt number, i.e., receipt number, 8-bit administrative division code, 14-bit detailed address code, and 11-recipient notification information code, forming a receipt information code containing all necessary information required for the delivery. Taking fig. 3 as an example, 1601080742621 is an express bill number automatically generated by the system; 32058201 is administrative division digital code, 32 represents Jiangsu province, 05 represents Suzhou city, 82 represents Zhang hong City, 01 represents Yangshu town; 030120500313040 is detailed address code, 30 is Sixuanlu, 1205 is city water park, 003 is 3 and 1304 is 1304; 13706222073 is the recipient notice message code, which is the recipient phone number. When the addressee provides the address information code and the notification information code to the addressee, the administrative division code can be memorized without any need, only 7 digits of 0301205 are really memorized in the detailed address code 03012050111304, the last 7 digits are the building number and the house number without memorizing, and the mobile phone number does not need to be memorized specially, so that the use is simple and easy.

As can be seen from the above, the receipt information code of the embodiment of the present invention itself includes detailed address information and a mobile phone number of the recipient, so that necessary information required for the delivery can be attached to the mail through the receipt. The automatic sorting system can directly read in the automatic sorting process without accessing a database to call address information. The information acquisition mode is greatly simplified, and massive data exchange work is avoided. The purpose that the information follows the mails is achieved. The address information of the receiver has the hierarchical characteristic and is further refined to the building number and the house number. The establishment of the rule of the grading sorting only needs to compile corresponding numbers with different digits, and the read numbers are compared with the numbers set by the rule. A large number of key fields do not need to be extracted to establish a comparison rule, and then a Chinese character comparison mode is used for carrying out sorting operation. The sorting operation difficulty is greatly simplified, and the operation speed and accuracy are improved. The adoption of the standard bill information code can greatly reduce the identification difficulty and the comparison difficulty of the sorting equipment, and simultaneously brings the universality and the standardization of code reading equipment and sorting software. The sorting execution equipment can be modified according to actual needs. The identification difficulty and the comparison difficulty are reduced, and the universality and the standardization of code reading equipment and sorting software can further reduce the cost of sorting equipment. The address base is established on the basis of delivery points, the delivery points have small change for mature roads, the sorting rules are basically not required to be changed after being established, and the later maintenance is mainly carried out in a newly-built reconstruction area. The later maintenance workload is very limited, and the stability of the address library is good. Under the condition that the address information code is basically stable and unchanged, the sorting rule can be automatically adjusted at any time according to the requirement. The adjustment only changes the sorting rule without changing the address code library, and has no irreversible effect. Any rule changes are based on the fact that the address code base is not changed. Further, the fully digital face-to-face information code can be encrypted by a special algorithm. The privacy protection function can be achieved while the number of the bar code bits is shortened. After the contents of the bill are simplified into a bar code or a two-dimensional code, the area can be greatly reduced, paper is saved, and the bill is more green and environment-friendly.

It can be understood that, except for the express bill number, the recipient address and the contact way of the recipient, the express bill is data which can not be removed when the parcel is accurately delivered, in order to simplify the express bill, improve the express transmission efficiency and cost and improve the user experience, the sender information can not appear in the express bill, that is, the address information code of the express bill can only contain the recipient address information, the sender address information and the notification information can not be displayed on the bill, but only be bound with the bill number, and the address information code and the notification information are stored in the system for calling and taking when the parcel is returned, inquired and the like. In the embodiment of the present invention, the bill information generating device may further include a sending information storage module; and the sending information storage module is used for binding the sending address and the contact way of the sender, the receiving address and the receiving contact way of the logistics package as sending information with the corresponding express bill number and storing the sending information and the receiving address and the receiving contact way in the local system. The mail address information and the notice information of the sender can be compiled according to the above rules, that is, the address of the sender can be converted into a corresponding digital code by adopting a code conversion mode the same as the address code of the receiver, the mail package needs to be returned, a returned bill can be called from the system, and the original bill is covered. If the electronic tag is the electronic tag, the information is updated by erasing.

As an alternative implementation mode, the bill information code generator can comprise a man-machine interaction device, a digital address generation module, an address-digital corresponding relation query database and a bill information output device.

The man-machine interaction device is used for realizing interactive operation between a user and a machine, such as information input and information display, and can comprise a display, a keyboard and a mouse and also can be a touch electronic screen, so that the realization of the application is not influenced. The display interface of the man-machine interaction device comprises an information input box, an information selection box and an information retrieval box; the information input box is used for providing an information input function for a user and displaying corresponding information, the information selection box is used for sequentially providing various levels of address information for the user through a pull-down interface form so as to be selected by the user, and the information retrieval box is used for calling an address-number corresponding relation query database according to the literal address information input by the user to query corresponding digital codes and displaying the digital codes to the user. The address-number corresponding relation query database is a corresponding relation between literal addresses and corresponding conversion numbers constructed based on preset address-number coding rules. The address-number corresponding relation inquiry database can also be displayed on the interface of the man-machine interaction device, and correspondingly, the information retrieval frame can also be arranged in the interface of the link joint of the address-number corresponding relation inquiry database.

The digital address generating module is used for calling an address-digital corresponding relation query database to convert the recipient character address information received by the man-machine interaction device into a corresponding digital code and sending the digital code to the bill information output device.

The bill information output device is converted into a bar code or a two-dimensional code which is convenient for machine identification by special output equipment, and can be a paper bill printing device or an electronic bill generating device; the paper bill printing device is used for printing the express bill number, the addressee digital code and the addressee notification information code on the paper bill in a bar code format through bar code reading and writing equipment or a two-dimensional code format through two-dimensional code reading and writing equipment; the electronic bill generating device is used for directly writing the express bill number, the receiving address digital code and the receiver notification information code into an information storage area of the electronic tag. Correspondingly, the express waybill can be a paper waybill which is printed and then pasted on the mail, the area of the waybill is small, paper is saved, and the waybill is relatively environment-friendly, and the form of the express waybill can be shown in figures 4-6. More importantly, the bill information code can be converted into a bar code or a two-dimensional code. The method is very friendly to automatic identification of the machine, greatly reduces the identification difficulty, and greatly improves the identification speed and accuracy. The express bill can also be an electronic tag bound on a mail. Therefore, the bill information code can be directly written into the data storage area of the electronic tag only by the special read-write equipment, and the automatic sorting equipment is more favorable for reading information more directly and accurately.

In one embodiment, the waybill information code generator can install any terminal in the form of a software package, and the software package can comprise a recording interface, a pre-stored administrative area code library, an express waybill number generator, a special algorithm for converting waybill information codes into two-dimensional codes or bar codes, a sender address information code, a notification information code and other databases for binding waybill information and waybill numbers. In addition, a computer program corresponding to all functions of the bill information code generator can be made into a web interface, a sender can log in a bill information entry interface at a mobile phone end or a computer end, and address information, a contact way, item description and remark information of the sender are filled according to prompts. In the web page, the Chinese character expression of the filled administrative regions can be directly translated into corresponding numbers according to a prestored administrative region code library. The detailed address code and the mobile phone number need to be provided by the receiver. If the receiver directly provides the complete address information code, the address information code can be directly filled in. The sender address information code and the telephone are filled in the same way. After the article description and remark information are confirmed, the single number generator can automatically generate a unique single number code. The system converts the single number and the recipient address information code notification information code into a two-dimensional code or a bar code according to a special algorithm and outputs the two-dimensional code or the bar code. Meanwhile, the information of the sending part, the article description, the remark and the like is bound with the single number and stored in a database for future reference.

The foregoing embodiment does not limit the automatic sorting apparatus 2, and as an alternative implementation, the embodiment of the present invention further provides an implementation of the automatic sorting apparatus 2, which may include the following:

the automatic sorting apparatus 2 may include an information reading device, a controller, and a sorting performing device; the information reading device is used for reading the bill data information in the current logistics package and sending the bill data information to the controller so that the controller can identify the address information of the receiver in the bill data information; the controller is used for matching a corresponding target sorting rule according to the current sorting stage, reading a target digital code at a corresponding position from the address information of the receiver based on the target sorting rule, and generating a sorting instruction of the logistics packages at the current sorting stage based on the target digital code and the target sorting rule; the sorting executing device is used for executing the sorting instruction to convey the current logistics packages to the corresponding sorting grids.

In the embodiment of the invention, if the express waybill of the logistics package is a paper waybill, the automatic sorting equipment 2 can photograph the waybill to identify the bar code or the two-dimensional code in the waybill through the prior art, output the bar code or the two-dimensional code to the controller, and the controller restores the short code into the complete code according to a special algorithm. Different sorting rules can be set in different sorting stages, the sorting rules are compared with corresponding digits of the bill information codes, and sorting instructions are given after the sorting rules are consistent with the corresponding digits of the bill information codes. And after receiving the sorting instruction, the sorting execution equipment conveys the mails to corresponding sorting grids for sorting.

For example, the bill of material information code on the express bill of the logistics package is read to obtain: 1601080742621320582010301205003130413706222073. after collecting, the package is sorted by the sorting equipment of the collecting place. If the packet is collected according to provincial level administrative regions, after the single information code is read, the 14 th and 15 th digits '32' are taken to directly give an instruction for sorting to 'Jiangsu' cells according to the encoding rule of the administrative regions. A common rule for a bag is to each sorting transfer center. In this case, the 6 th digit "320582" from 14 th to 19 th is called and represents Zhang Hour City of Suzhou, Jiangsu province. The sorting command can be rapidly and accurately given by setting all codes of county-level administrative units needing to be transported to the sorting transfer center as the same sorting grid. Taking the suzhou sorting center as an example, the code corresponding to the kusu region is 320502, the code corresponding to the tiger region is 320505, the code corresponding to the wuzhou region is 320505, the code corresponding to the urban region is 320507, the code corresponding to the wujiang region is 320584, the code corresponding to the everlasting city is 320581, the code corresponding to zhangjiahong is 320582, the code corresponding to kunshan is 320583, and the code corresponding to the taicang city is 320585. The 9 codes can be listed as a sorting grid. Any one of the two can be sorted to the same bin as long as the two are aligned. If the sorting capacity of the Suzhou sorting center is improved, the method can be applied to all or part of counties without tin, and the administrative area code of the county is added to the sorting rule. Rule modification is very convenient. When the mail reaches the sorting transfer center and is unpacked and sorted, if the mail is only required to be sorted to a county level administrative division, the 18 th and 19 th bits are only required to be read and compared, and then a sorting instruction can be accurately given. For example, "82" to hong Kong and "02" to Gusu district. After arriving at hong Kong, the 20 th and 21 st village and town encoding data can be used to establish a sorting rule, and one village and town can be set as a sorting grid or a plurality of villages and towns can be set as a sorting grid according to requirements. After subdivision into towns, the courier may be sorted based on the first 7 bits of the detailed address code. Taking the above-mentioned bill information code as an example: 03012050031304030 for roads and 1205 for delivery points. If the whole road is delivered by a deliverer, the sorting instruction can be directly given by comparing the serial numbers of the first 3 roads when the sorting rule is established. If the road does not belong to a courier, delivery points may be added to establish sort rules. Due to the accuracy of digital representation, the establishment, maintenance and modification of the sorting rules are very convenient. The numerical comparison can bring about great improvements in sorting efficiency and accuracy. And further, equipment can be used for arranging sections according to the number of the delivery point, so that preparation is made for future unmanned delivery.

Therefore, under the condition of utilizing the same string of single information codes, the automatic sorting equipment 2 can automatically establish sorting rules according to the requirements of classification sorting, efficiently and accurately give sorting instructions by comparing the address information codes with different digits, and sorting of each level is completed by the sorting execution equipment until the last section arrangement of a deliverer.

It can be understood that after the logistics packages are sorted, the logistics packages can be manually picked up from the sorting opening and delivered, the logistics packages can be directly locked in a space of an area where a receiver is located through an automatic process, the logistics packages can be automatically delivered to a large transfer station and delivered manually, and a person skilled in the art can select a proper end delivery mode based on actual needs.
