Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un procédé pour le tri d'envois postaux en machine comme les envois à valeur déclarée et les envois recommandés.The invention relates to a method for sorting postal items in the machine such as insured items and registered items.
Ces envois postaux spéciaux (qui concernent dans les postes des services distincts du service d'envois standards car répondant à des exigences particulières des clients) ne généralement sont pas encore triés automatiquement dans les machines de tri. Le traitement manuel de ces envois spéciaux, outre le fait qu'il est plus coûteux qu'un traitement automatique, présente l'inconvénient d'exposer ces envois au vol et à la fraude. On pourrait envisager des les traiter automatiquement en machine en les isolant par exemple des envois standards mais compte tenu des faibles volumes de courrier, leur coût de traitement serait trop important. En plus, un tel traitement automatique sans suivi spécifique présenterait un risque accru de perte de ces envois.These special postal items (which concern in the posts separate services of the service of standard shipments because answering to the particular requirements of the customers) generally are not yet sorted automatically in the sorting machines. The manual processing of these special items, besides the fact that it is more expensive than automatic processing, has the disadvantage of exposing these items to theft and fraud. We could consider treating them automatically in the machine by isolating them for example standard shipments but given the low volumes of mail, their cost of treatment would be too important. In addition, such automatic processing without specific monitoring would present an increased risk of losing these shipments.
On connait toutefois des documents
Le but de l'invention est de proposer un envoi postal spécial, comme des envois à valeur déclarée (cartes bancaires de crédit, documents confidentiels, etc...) ou des envois recommandés, qui puisse être mélangé avec des envois standards lors d'un procédé de tri et dont l'émetteur de l'envoi puisse avoir un suivi.The purpose of the invention is to propose a special postal item, such as insured items (bank credit cards, confidential documents, etc.) or registered items, which can be mixed with standard shipments at the same time. a sorting process and whose sending transmitter can have a follow-up.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un envoi postal spécial, du type « envoi à valeur déclarée » ou « envoi recommandé », comprenant une étiquette RFID équipée d'une mémoire dans laquelle un code unique d'identification (IDc) est enregistré, caractérisé en ce que l'envoi postal se présentant sous la forme d'une enveloppe avec un rabat disposé dans une zone de pliage de l'enveloppe comprend ledit code unique qui est imprimé sous forme de caractères alphanumériques dans la zone de pliage de telle sorte qu'une fois l'enveloppe fermée, ce code n'est plus visible.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a special postal item, of the "declared value" or "registered delivery" type, comprising an RFID tag equipped with a memory in which a unique identification code (IDc) is registered, characterized in that the mailpiece being in the form of an envelope with a flap disposed in a folding zone of the envelope comprises said unique code which is printed as alphanumeric characters in the folding zone of so that once the envelope is closed, this code is no longer visible.
Avantageusement, l'émetteur de l'envoi peut lire (manuellement ou automatiquement) le code imprimé sur l'envoi spécial. Ce code est ensuite caché par le rabat de l'enveloppe avant que l'envoi postal ne soit transmis à un opérateur postal. L'émetteur peut ainsi avoir un accès simple à un suivi de l'envoi par exemple sur internet.Advantageously, the issuer of the item can read (manually or automatically) the code printed on the special item. This code is then hidden by the flap of the envelope before the mail is sent to a postal operator. The issuer can thus have simple access to tracking the shipment for example on the internet.
Les technologies de RFID sont bien connues. Par exemple du document de brevet
Un exemple de mise en oeuvre du procédé selon l'invention est décrit ci-après en relation avec le dessin.
- La
figure 1 est une vue schématique d'une machine de tri pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé selon l'invention. - La
figure 2 représente très schématiquement une enveloppe RFID.
- The
figure 1 is a schematic view of a sorting machine for carrying out the method according to the invention. - The
figure 2 very schematically represents an RFID envelope.
Selon l'invention, des enveloppes 20 d'envois postaux sont d'abord confectionnées avec des dispositifs électroniques à mémoire RFID 21, notamment à mémoire à lecture seule (étiquette RFID). L'étiquette de préférence souple peut être collée ou intégrée dans la texture de l'enveloppe. Un code unique IDc est enregistré dans la mémoire de chaque étiquette RFID. Ce code est par ailleurs imprimé avec des chiffres décimaux par exemple sur la surface de l'envoi, de préférence sur la zone de pliage du rabat 22 de l'enveloppe, de telle sorte qu'une fois l'enveloppe fermée, ce code ne soit plus visible. La
Ces enveloppes RFID 20 sont livrées aux Postes. Les Postes fournissent les enveloppes RFID à des clients expéditeurs d'envois postaux spéciaux, comme des envois à valeur déclarée ou des envois recommandés.These
A la mise sous pli d'un envoi recommandé par exemple, dans une enveloppe RFID, le code IDc imprimé sur l'enveloppe est relevé par l'expéditeur, par exemple par une lecture automatique par OCR, par une lecture RF de l'étiquette, ou encore par une lecture visuelle. La lecture par OCR ou visuelle du code IDc sur le rabat de l'enveloppe se fait avant la fermeture de l'enveloppe. Cette lecture peut éventuellement servir à l'expéditeur pour le suivi de l'envoi par consultation d'une base d'information accessible par exemple par le réseau Internet (si l'Opérateur postal propose ce service).For example, when enclosing a registered item in an RFID envelope, the IDc code printed on the envelope is picked up by the sender, for example by an automatic reading by OCR, by an RF reading of the label. or by a visual reading. The OCR or visual reading of the IDc code on the flap of the envelope is done before closing the envelope. This reading may possibly be used by the sender to track the sending by consultation of an information base accessible for example via the Internet network (if the postal operator offers this service).
Selon l'invention, ces envois à enveloppe RFID sont traités par l'Opérateur postal comme des envois standards, c'est-à-dire qu'ils suivent le même circuit automatique de tri acheminement/distribution dans les machines de tri automatique et de préparation des tournées du facteur.According to the invention, these RFID envelope shipments are processed by the postal operator as standard shipments, ie they follow the same automatic sorting routing / distribution circuit in the automatic sorting machines. preparation of the tours of the factor.
Quand un envoi à enveloppe RFID est remis à l'Opérateur postal par un expéditeur, le code IDc de l'enveloppe enregistré en mémoire dans l'étiquette RFID est lu à l'aide d'un dispositif électronique de lecture RF, par exemple un dispositif de lecture portatif, et une base d'information 7 dans un serveur informatique est mise à jour automatiquement. La mise à jour peut consister dans cette étape à enregistrer dans la base d'information 7 en correspondance avec le code IDc, la date (Jour, Mois, Année, Heure) et le lieu (City) de remise de l'envoi.When an RFID envelope sending is delivered to the postal operator by a sender, the IDc code of the envelope stored in the RFID tag is read using an electronic RF reading device, for example a portable reading device, and an
Si des envois à enveloppe RFID sont mélangés à des envois standards dans un sac de transport ou dans un bac par exemple, les codes IDc de ces premiers envois peuvent être lus automatiquement également par passage du sac ou du bac rempli des envois mélangés sous un portique de lecture RFID. La mise à jour de la base d'information 7 peut être réalisée de manière automatique en temps réel par une unité de traitement et de commande programmée.If RFID envelope shipments are mixed with standard shipments in a transport bag or in a bin for example, the IDc codes of these first shipments can be read automatically also by passing the bag or the tray filled with mixed shipments under a gantry RFID reading. The updating of the
Les envois mélangés sont introduits en entrée 2 d'une première machine de tri acheminement 1 par exemple représentée sur la
Au fur et à mesure que les envois à enveloppe RFID sont passés dans des machines de tri automatique munies de détecteurs RFID, la base d'information 7 est mise à jour automatiquement comme indiquée ci-dessus et on réalise de la sorte un traçage du parcours de chaque envoi spécial.As the RFID envelope items are passed through automatic sorting machines equipped with RFID detectors, the
A l'ultime passe de tri dans une machine de tri pour la préparation d'une tournée du facteur, un envoi à enveloppe RFID peut être dirigé dans la machine vers une sortie de tri particulière aux envois spéciaux pour être isolé des envois standards. De la sorte ces envois spéciaux isolés pourront être facilement remis en mains propres par le facteur à leur destinataire. En variante, on peut prévoir que les envois spéciaux à enveloppe RFID soient mélangés avec les envois standards dans les sorties de tri mais qu'ils soient en outre marqués pour être facilement identifiables par le facteur lors de sa tournée. Par exemple, on peut prévoir de faire fonctionner la machine de tri (à l'ultime passe de tri pour la préparation de la tournée du facteur) pour déplacer un intercalaire (ou un jalon non représenté) vers la sortie de tri 5 où est dirigé un envoi à enveloppe RFID ou encore pour apposer un onglet (sous la forme d'une étiquette autocollante d'une couleur appropriée) sur la surface de cet envoi. Cet onglet a le même rôle qu'un séparateur mais réserve en plus la possibilité d'imprimer une instruction pour le facteur, par exemple « remise en main propre », « remise à une tierce personne », « remise contre remboursement », « remise a une adresse différente (réadressage) », « nouvelle présentation au domicile... », etc....At the ultimate sorting pass in a sorting machine for the preparation of a postman tour, an RFID envelope shipment can be directed into the machine to a special sorting exit for special items to be isolated from standard items. In this way these isolated special shipments can be easily delivered by hand by the postman to their recipient. Alternatively, it can be provided that the RFID envelope special shipments are mixed with the standard shipments in the sorting outlets but that they are further marked to be easily identifiable by the factor during his tour. For example, it can be provided to operate the sorting machine (at the last sorting pass for the preparation of the tour of the factor) to move an interlayer (or a not shown milestone) to the
Selon l'invention, à l'ultime passe de tri, en réponse à la détection d'un code IDc sur un envoi, le système de tri est agencé pour récupérer automatiquement dans la base d'information 7 une adresse électronique associée au destinataire de l'envoi. Cette adresse électronique peut être une adresse de messagerie vocale ou textuelle. Cette adresse peut être enregistrée préalablement dans la base d'information 7 par l'émetteur de l'envoi au moment de la remise de l'envoi à l'opérateur postal. Après récupération de l'adresse électronique à travers le serveur de stockage de la liste des étiquettes RFID, le système de tri est agencé pour envoyer automatiquement un message (phonique ou textuel suivant le cas) à cette adresse électronique. Ce message peut par exemple être un message SMS quand l'adresse électronique est un numéro de téléphone portable par exemple. Le contenu de ce message peut être une information indicative de la date de présentation de l'envoi au destinataire de l'envoi. Cette fonctionnalité permet donc de prévenir le destinataire de l'envoi de la distribution prochaine du pli.According to the invention, at the last sorting pass, in response to the detection of an IDc code on a shipment, the sorting system is arranged to automatically recover in the
La base d'information 7 peut avantageusement être maintenue en mémoire dans un serveur 8 accessible par Internet. Cette base d'information peut être de cette façon facilement consultée en entrant les codes IDc qui servent d'index de recherche.The
A la remise en mains propres par le facteur à son destinataire d'un envoi à enveloppe RFID, la base d'information 7 peut être encore mise à jour en temps réel en indiquant dans la base que l'envoi a été réceptionné par le destinataire. Cette opération pourra être réalisée facilement par le facteur à l'aide d'un scanner portatif muni d'un lecteur RFID par exemple.At hand delivery by the factor to the recipient of an RFID envelope sending, the
