Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for sorting mail items according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device to carry out the procedure.
  • the main task of shipment sorting systems is that Extract address information on a shipment to this finally to be able to assign a distribution code (recipient).
  • a distribution code (recipient)
  • the number of possible distribution codes exceeds the number of sorting ends, so that one shipment in several Stages must be sorted, i.e. several times by one Sorting machine is running.
  • the sorting information from the shipment picture extracted by first an address reading system is used.
  • Shipments made by automatic Reading system rejected are manually coded (video coding).
  • the sorting information obtained in the process must for the subsequent sorting processes, in particular to manually reject the rejected consignments and thus coding in subsequent sorting runs have to.
  • a code is applied to the shipment, which can simply be read automatically. This contains either the sort information explicitly or represents it a code that uniquely identifies the shipment. In this case, the first time in a database the Code is stored together with the sorting information, so that this in subsequent sorting runs out of the code can be derived from the database.
  • the object of the invention is therefore in multi-stage Sorting the repeated reading of the addresses of each Shipment and printing of machine-readable identification codes to avoid by sending the shipments to the following Sort runs if possible by comparing characteristics fewer shipments are identified.
  • n maximum multiple deduction rate to be expected necessary to the shipments and the distribution code identify. This is done by the parameter set of the first Consignment with the first n parameter sets of the concerned Database section, the parameter set of the second broadcast starting with n parameter sets arranged one after the other compared with the parameter set of the second shipment, etc. becomes. Since only a comparison between a few parameter sets the result is less Effort significantly safer.
  • Another advantageous embodiment in this context is the electronic transmission of the relevant database content to those who carry out the second and further sorting processes Sorting machines.
  • the first entry is used to re-identify a shipment in subsequent sorting runs
  • the second entry contains the Distribution code of this shipment. Allow the remaining entries the reduction of the shipment quantity for the subsequent one Re-identification.
  • the sorting machine distributes each consignment supplied to it into a sorting compartment 14.
  • the buffer capacity of a sorting compartment 14 is not sufficient for the items to be processed in a sorting run, so that the items have to be temporarily stored in containers 16, for example in trays, before they become one subsequent sorting process can be supplied.
  • the shipments are reloaded from a sorting compartment 14 into a buffer store 16, the order of the shipments must be maintained.
  • the information must exist with which sorting compartment 14 the mail items that it contains correspond. For example, the correspondence between the container sorting compartment number and a label (plain text or bar code) that is attached to the container.
  • a card can optionally be inserted into each container 16 - at the beginning or at the end (marked with a start in FIG. 1), which can be easily identified automatically in a subsequent sorting run. It is cheap (but not necessary) if the order of the containers (with regard to filling) is known so that this information can be used for the subsequent sorting run.
  • the point in time at which a consignment was read in the sorting machine and into which sorting compartment 14 and / or which container 16 this consignment was temporarily stored is stored in the database 10.
  • the sorting machine reports via the machine control the time and the sorting compartment number to the database 10 at which this sorting compartment 14 has been emptied 15. This information is, however, only necessary if the order of the containers 16 for intermediate storage for one sorting compartment 14 is not for the following one Sorting can be held.
  • the database 10 contains all mail items in the chronological order in which they were fed to the sorting machine.
  • the database objects are now re-sorted 21 according to the sorting compartment 14 (primary key) and within a compartment according to the time (secondary key) of reading the distribution address.
  • the database entries of a sorting bin 14 are marked in the element transition 22, the time stamp of which corresponds to the time when a bin content was emptied into a container 16, provided that this information was stored in the first pass. This marking consequently divides the number of mail items in a sorting bin 14 into exactly as many subsets as containers 16 have been created for intermediate storage.
  • the database 10 is subsequently distributed to the sorting machines on which the mail items are further sorted. It is advantageous not to send the complete database 10, but only the database areas that correspond to the mailings that are processed there.
  • the database section corresponding to this container is identical to the selected database group.
  • the order of the consignments supplied also corresponds to the order of the consignments in the database 10. If the containers 16 are not fed in the original order - the third case - the database section must be determined which corresponds to the content of the current container 16. In this case, the information in the "Transition" field and optionally the start card of each container are used for this sorting compartment. The start card indicates that a new container 16 begins and a corresponding database section must therefore be determined again.
  • the subset forms the corresponding database section, the starting object of which is fingerprint-identical to the current shipment image.
  • the distribution code of a shipment to be sorted is via the Fingerprint comparison 35 with the first 5 database entries of the applicable database section determined. With everyone successful correspondence will be from this point onwards next 5 database entries with the next program picture adjusted. The number of selected shipment quantities, in in this case 5, must be greater than the maximum expected Multiple removal rate.
  • the database 10 is updated in every sorting run Updated 36 if further sorting follows got to. For this purpose, the elements for each processed object "Subject number” and “Time2" with the corresponding new ones Values. The "Transition” element is also deleted and the subject empty record is overwritten if both are in use. Before the database 10 for the following Sorting is sorted 21 u. 22, the Contents of the two fields "Zeitpunk1" and "Zeit2" exchanged 23rd
  • Saving the fingerprint characteristics and the distribution code can - as an alternative to the proposed central database solution - also take place via electronic memory modules, which are attached directly to the container 16, and so that these data are made available locally the place where they are needed.
  • electronic memory modules which are attached directly to the container 16, and so that these data are made available locally the place where they are needed.
  • Stickers with semiconductor memories are used after the filling of the container 16 with the information of the fingerprint features and the distribution code loaded and directly to be attached to this container 16.
  • the contents of the label will be fed into the sorting machine is read out and the fingerprint comparison 35 performed. The start of this is shown on the start card Stack detected.
