Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for recording and transmitting data via the incoming and outgoing mail, in particular in the case of mailboxes, according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • the establishment of central mailboxes / collection points and the collection of mail by the recipients in affected areas will represent a realistic solution, at least for standard shipments, and will help to maintain relatively low postal charges.
  • the "missing link" of this transport chain is the notification of mail recipients about the receipt of a shipment.
  • An essential feature here is that the method and the device for capturing and transmitting data about the inbox and possibly outbox, in particular for mailboxes, initially captures data about at least the inbox in at least one mail collection point by means of suitable sensors and then this data are at least partially provided for the query of at least one recipient and / or are sent to at least one recipient, the data transfer being carried out via at least one public or publicly accessible telecommunications channel.
  • the advantage here is that the method according to the invention saves the device unnecessary ways for the recipient to check whether and which mail has arrived for him in his assigned (mail) compartment and is ready for collection. This brings a temporal as well as a financial advantage for the recipient himself, as well as economically.
  • the advantage for the user is, in particular, the way (time) spam.
  • This notification is preferably carried out by sending SMS (Short Message Service) via the mobile radio network, so that the recipient is not necessarily fixed locally, but can constantly receive the message via the inbox.
  • SMS Short Message Service
  • other shipping methods are also possible, such as by telephone via landline (call or fax), by telephone or PC via the Internet, via BTX, VTX, UMTS, GSM, GPS, cable (TV broadband distribution network), or radio, etc.
  • the information about the incoming and outgoing mail from the collection box at a central collection point enables not only the number to be differentiated according to the type and urgency of the mail item, but also physical parameters such as e.g. Weight, dimensions etc.
  • the sending of the message can be triggered manually by input from the deliverer, automatically mechanically (electrical contacts) or automatically contactless (transponder, light barriers, inductive / capacitive sensors, barcode) or semi-automatically, but intelligently (barcode detection and further sending of sender and details via SMS) become.
  • Postal delivery companies belonging to the delivery agent who trigger the (SMS) message manually (or by barcode reading) and, if necessary, differentiate according to the content (advertising mail / newspapers / normal mail / express letters ...), which can also be done automatically by mail.
  • the marketing opportunity consists in particular in the provision of the transmission equipment (borrowing, leasing, purchase) and provision of the airtime (telephone charges) for sending an SMS or the like. News form.
  • Mobile network-based notification is predestined for coverage in more remote areas. On the receiver side - as far as no mobile terminal exists - this may result in An additional demand may be generated.
  • the receiving device can be any other networked device through intelligent forwarding and via appropriate interfaces.
  • the possible applications extend not only to collective mailboxes, but also to individual mailboxes. That is, the application possibilities already exist today.
  • the SMS notification via the inbox is suitable to replace a person in the event of vacation or to spare the person who regularly checks the inbox.
  • the transmission of the stored data can be triggered manually by a person (recipient and / or postman), or automatically depending on whether data values or parameters are exceeded or undershot.
  • the triggering can e.g. if a date, a weight of the mail item, a size dimension of the mail item or an external event (e.g. notification from a third party) is exceeded.
  • the invention thus relates to a method and a device for transmitting information about incoming and outgoing data, in particular for mailboxes, which send the data from a central mail collection point to the recipient (s) via publicly accessible telecommunication channels (mobile or landline telephone, Cable, satellite etc.) transmitted manually or automatically triggered.
  • publicly accessible telecommunication channels mobile or landline telephone, Cable, satellite etc.
