Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for transporting similar objects, in particular mass mailings.
  • EP 741374 B1 A method is described of how a shipper has a stack of mail sent by a transporter.
  • the mailer provides each mailpiece of the stack with an encrypted indicia and delivers the batch along with a description ("mail documentation file") of the batch, preferably in electronic form.
  • This description contains an indication of the total weight of the stack.
  • the carrier checks this marking.
  • EP 1622065 A1 and AU 2005203141 A1 It is proposed to automatically identify groups of similar mail items among all mailpieces processed in an attachment.
  • the sorting system generates in each case an image of each piece of mail to be processed and compares these images with each other.
  • DE 10021734 C1 For example, a method for determining areas of distribution information on shipments is described.
  • a digital image of the distribution information having surface of each shipment is obtained and stored and fed to an OCR unit for automatic evaluation. If the searched area is not clearly recognized, then the associated entire image of the surface having the distribution information is forwarded to a video coding device.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method with the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus with the preamble of claim 24, is detected by the automatic, which belong to the articles, without information on the belonging to the similar objects Quantity needs to be printed and without it being necessary for items to pass through the sorting system to produce the desired image.
  • a lot of items are transported to destination points. This amount can be from a single item or consist of several similar objects. It is possible that each item will be transported to another destination. It is also possible that several items of the quantity are transported to the same destination point.
  • Each item of the quantity goes through a sorting system at least once. It is possible that other items that do not belong to the quantity also go through this sorting system.
  • the target point is given, to which this item is to be transported.
  • the destination point is predetermined by the fact that the object is provided with a determination of the destination point, and / or in that the destination point is stored in a data memory which the sorting system reads out.
  • the sorting system generates at least one actual image of each item that passes through the sorting system. This actual image shows the object from a specific viewing direction.
  • the sorting system determines the respective destination of each item that passes through the sorting system. For this purpose, it evaluates the actual image and / or the data record. Subsequently, the sorting system triggers a transport of each passing item to the determined destination point.
  • the sorting system is connected to a data processing system or includes a data processing system.
  • a computer-accessible description of the quantity is transmitted from a data processing system of a sender to that data processing system which is connected to the sorting system.
  • This transmitted description comprises a target image of the object valid for each object of the set from the given viewing direction.
  • the target image does not contain any information about a target point.
  • the data processing system decides automatically for each item that passes through the sorting system, whether the item belongs to the amount or not. For this decision the data processing system compares the actual image of the object with the transmitted target image.
  • An advantage of the invention is the following: While the articles of the crowd are being transported, their transport can be monitored and tracked without having to provide each article with an individual identifier which distinguishes the article from all other objects being transported at the same time , Such an individual identifier often requires a lot of space on the item or defaces it.
  • the sorting system automatically recognizes the affiliation with the quantity by comparing the predetermined target image with the determined actual image.
  • the invention also makes it superfluous for at least one article of the quantity to first pass through the sorting system before the desired image of the description can be generated. Rather, the target image is available as soon as the description has been transmitted to the data processing system that is connected to the sorting system and evaluated.
  • the target image is generated from a print template.
  • This artwork is useful to create a sheet that is provided with each article of the set and that is visible from the outside, such as a cover sheet of a catalog. This embodiment eliminates the need to provide a separate operation for the production of the cover sheet. Rather, an existing print template is reused.
  • each item of the quantity is marked with a destination before it passes through a sorting system for the first time, e.g. For example, by being labeled with the label.
  • the sorting system reads this identification and thus determines the destination point.
  • To the data processing system is a computer-accessible Listing with those destinations to which the items are to be transported.
  • the sorting system uses this listing to validate and review the read destination addresses. In particular, it uses the listing to resolve ambiguities in reading.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is that the listing contains much fewer destinations than an address database with all the addresses of a particular area.
  • the sorting system itself provides the objects with an identification of the destination.
  • This configuration saves a shipper from pre-placing the items with the destination points, and saves the need for the sorting system to read a destination. Rather, the objects are supplied without destination markings the sorting system.
  • a computer-accessible listing with target destinations is transmitted to the data processing system. At least one object of the quantity is to be transported to each of these target target points.
  • the sorting system evaluates the listing and repeatedly selects a target destination from the list. It provides an item of the quantity with an identification of the selected target target point. This tag is used to transport the item to the desired destination.
  • This embodiment of the invention saves the need for the items to be supplied to the sorting unit separately from other items. Rather, the sorting system automatically recognizes that a passing object belongs to the set and is to be provided automatically with an identification of a target destination of the listing. Therefore, a mixed feed is possible.
  • the invention can be applied to the transport of mail, z. For example, of letters or catalogs. Each mail item is to be transported to a respective predetermined delivery address.
