Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for transporting objects, in particular postal items.
  • a mail item typically passes through a sorting system at least twice and is then transported to the respectively predetermined destination address. On the first pass, the destination address of the mailpiece is read. On the second pass, the read target address is determined again.
  • a method comprising the features of the preamble of claim 1 and a device having the features of the preamble of claim 6 are made EP 1222037 B1 known.
  • the items are also there mail that go through sorting machines.
  • Such a sorting machine passes Mail items in sorting stations that act as a buffer.
  • a method known as "fingerprinting” is used, e.g. In DE 4000603 C2 is presented.
  • a data record is generated and stored in a central database.
  • This record includes the read delivery address.
  • it is stored which mail item is transported in which container. This approach requires that it is known exactly which mail item is being transported in which bin. Sometimes this can not be determined with sufficient certainty in reality.
  • a method in which postal items are sorted.
  • Each mail item goes through at least two times a sorting system and is provided with a machine-readable identifier, eg. B. a bar code provided.
  • This identifier can be attached on the first pass or in advance by the sender of the mailpiece.
  • an image is also generated from a surface, and by evaluating the image, a feature value vector is generated which identifies the mailpiece.
  • the feature value vector is stored in a central database.
  • Each re-run first attempts to read the machine-readable identifier on the mailpiece. If this does not succeed in unambiguously deciphering this identifier, an image is additionally generated again and a feature value vector is generated.
  • the mailpiece is identified by that the now obtained feature value vector is compared with the stored feature value vectors.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 6, in which it is not necessary to identify the means of transport used for the transport operations.
  • At least one characteristic is specified. This feature is by solution in the form of an optically measurable property. A transported object either has this property in one of several possible expressions or the object does not have the property.
  • a first measurement is made of what value this given feature will take on that item. Here it is measured whether this object has the given property or not, and if so, with which characteristic he has this property. This first measurement is performed before this object is placed in one of the means of transport.
  • the transportation process information is determined and stored, which objects are transported together by this transport process and which feature value which of these objects accepts. For this the results of the first measurements are used.
  • the transport process information comprises, for each item of information, the information as to whether or not this item has a predetermined characteristic in the first measurement and, if so, with which characteristic it has this property. After this object has been supplied to the respective processing plant, it is again measured what value the feature assumes for this article. In this case, it is again measured whether or not this object has a given property during the first measurement or not, and if so, with which characteristic it possesses this property.
  • This search uses the transport operation information of each transport operation.
  • Each transportation process is determined by which an object with this characteristic of the property has been transported to and transported in a means of transport.
  • the invention takes advantage of the fact that only very few items - often only a single one - have a certain expression of the property.
  • the transport process - or at least the transportation processes still to be considered - can be determined without it being necessary to identify the means of transport used.
  • Such an identification would be a machine-readable or human-readable identifier z. B. in the form of a bar pattern and may be error prone.
  • the error-proneness is further reduced by specifying several properties and using them for the determination of transport processes.
  • the susceptibility to errors is also reduced by searching for several objects with the property and taking into account the different forms of these found objects.
  • At least one measurable transport attribute is further specified.
  • This transport attribute is, for example, the respective destination address to which an item is to be transported, or a dimension or weight or z.
  • the items to be transported are mail items.
  • Each item of mail is provided with an identification of that delivery address to which this item of mail is to be transported.
  • the delivery address acts as the destination of the mailing.
  • the marking has generally been applied to the mail item before the beginning of transporting. But it is also possible that it is attached only during transport.
  • Each mail item goes through a sorting system at least twice. It is possible for a mail item to pass through the same sorting system several times or to pass through a sorting system three times.
  • At the first pass at least the delivery address is determined. It is possible that further features are measured, for. B. the weight of the mail or with which franking the mail item is provided.
  • a reading device of the sorting system used in the first pass tries to automatically determine the delivery address automatically by "Optical Character Recognition” (OCR). If this fails, a person reads the delivery address and gives at least part of the read delivery address, eg. As the postcode, a.
  • OCR Optical Character Recognition
  • Each possible delivery address is assigned to a delivery area. All mail items to the same delivery area are ejected into the same output bin each time they pass. Possible is that mail is sent to different delivery areas in the same output tray. It is possible that a mail item passes through the same sorting system several times, for example because the number of output pockets is less than the number of predetermined delivery areas. In this case, an "n-pass sequencing" is preferably carried out. Such a procedure is over EP 948416 B1 known. After the first pass, the mail items that the sorting system has discharged into an output tray are placed in a container. The container is transported to the feeder of the second sorting plant, and the mailpieces are fed to the sorting plant for the second pass.
  • a container with mail items which have passed through a sorting system for the first time, is transported to another location and the mailpieces there are fed to a further sorting system. It is also possible that some mail items are transported from an output tray of the further sorting system in a container to a feeding device of another sorting system and these mail items are fed to the other sorting system.
  • each mail item is provided with a bar pattern. But even if a method of "fingerprinting" is used, a significant proportion of the mailpieces may be provided with a bar pattern.
  • This bar pattern encodes z. B. the delivery address of the mail or distinguishes the mail from all other mail, which pass through one of the sorting systems within a predetermined period, is thus a machine-readable identifier of the mailpiece.
  • Fig. 1 shows a network with three processing plants Anl-1, Anl-3 and Anl-4. These three processing plants are designed in the embodiment as sorting.
  • Each sorting system has a feeder in the form of a feeder, a reader and a plurality of output trays. Mail items are fed to the material input of such a sorting system. The substance input separates the mailpieces. The separated mailings then pass through the sorting system. The reader generates an image of the mail piece. Using the image, the sorting system determines the delivery address and discharges the mail item into one of the output bins depending on the recognized delivery address.
  • Each of the three sorting systems Anl-1, Anl-4, Anl-4 and another sorting system Anl-2 is connected to a central database DB and has read and write access to this database DB.
  • Fig. 1 first mail items of the input material ZE-1 the sorting system Anl-1 are supplied.
  • the sorting system Anl-1 generates a digital image of each mail item and determines the delivery address.
  • the sorting system Anl-1 tries to determine the delivery address automatically by "Optical Character Recognition" (OCR). If this is not successful, the image is transmitted to a video coding station, and an editor manually enters the delivery address - or at least the postal code.
  • OCR Optical Character Recognition
  • the sorting system Anl-1 discharges the mail item into one of the output compartments.
  • FIG. 1 In the example of Fig. 1 three output bins Af-A, Af-B and Af-E of the sorting system Anl-1 are shown.
  • the container Beh-3 with these postal items is again the material input ZE-1 of the sorting system Anl-1 transported.
  • the mail items from the container Beh-3 are separated from the material input ZE-1 and go through again the sorting system Anl-1.
  • containers function as the means of transport. Instead of containers, other means of transport can be used.
  • the mail items from the output tray Af-E of the sorting system Anl-1 can be z. B. also with a conveyor belt or by means of a Umlademaschine back to the feeder ZE-1 of Anl-1 transport.
  • the container Beh-2 with these postal items is transported to the material input ZE-2 of the second sorting system Anl-2.
  • the mail items from the container Beh-2 are separated from the material input ZE-2 and go through the sorting system Anl-2.
  • These are transported in container Beh-3 for substance input ZE-3 of the third sorting plant Anl-3.
  • Fig. 1 the mail items are returned from the output tray Af-E back to the feeder ZE-1 and run through the system Anl-1 again.
  • One reason for this may be that "n-pass sequencing" is performed, as just described. It is also possible that individual mail items pass through the sorting system Anl-1 several times, because an "off-line video coding" is performed. During the first pass, a digital image of the mailpiece is generated. It is not possible to automatically detect the address in this image, so that the image is transmitted to a video coding station. There, the address is entered manually. After this has been done, the mail item again passes through the sorting system and is discharged into an output tray depending on the entered address. It is also possible that mail items are shipped within a location or delivery area and the first sorting system Anl-1 for this Therefore carries out both the incoming sorting and the subsequent outgoing sorting.
  • the first sorting installation Anl-1 determines, for each mail item which the sorting installation Anl-1 passes through, what value each given feature assumes in this mailpiece. As a result, the first sorting system Anl-1 generates a feature vector (more precisely, a feature value vector) which consists of n feature values given n characteristics.
  • the data record for the mailing is supplemented by the first sorting system Anl-1 by the feature vector, d. H. an identification of the n characteristic values.
  • the third sorting system Anl-3 also measures for each mail item that passes through the sorting system Anl-3, which value assumes each predetermined feature for this mail item. As a result, the third sorting system Anl-3 also generates a feature vector with n feature values. The third sorting system Anl-3 performs a read access to the central database DB. The feature vectors of stored data sets are compared with the currently measured feature vector. As a result, the record is determined that of the current originating mail item. This data record includes the delivery address of the mail item that the first sorting system Anl-1 has read.
  • a coding of the delivery address to which the item of mail is to be transported is stored in the data record of a mail item.
  • This delivery address acts as the edit attribute of the item.
  • other processing attributes are additionally measured and stored in the first sorting run, for. B. a weight or a dimension or a surface finish of the mailpiece.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the transport of the mail items A1, ..., A5 and B1, ..., B4.
  • the mail items A1,..., A5 and B1,..., B4 first pass through the first sorting system Anl-1.
  • the reading device of this first sorting system Anl-1 reads the respective identification of the delivery address with which the mailpieces A1,..., A5, B1,..., B4 and other continuous mailpieces are provided.
  • a measuring device of the first sorting system Anl-1 measures which values the predefined characteristics for the mailpieces A1,..., A5 assume. This measuring device also measures which values the predefined characteristics for the mailpieces B1,..., B4 assume.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates the transport of the mail items C1, ..., C6 as well as D1 and D2.
  • the mail items C1,..., C6 pass through a second sorting system Anl-2.
  • a reading device of this second sorting system Anl-2 reads the respective identification of the delivery address, with which the mailpieces C1,..., C6, D1, D2 and other continuous mailpieces are provided.
  • a measuring device of the second sorting system Anl-2 measures which values the predefined characteristics for the mailpieces C1,..., C6 assume. This measuring device also measures which values the predefined characteristics for the mail items D1 and D2 assume.
  • each sorting system registers which items of mail are ejected into which output bin.
  • each sorting system registers which transport processes emanate from this sorting system.
  • a mail item with a certain expression of one of these features is globally unique among the mail items that pass through the sorting systems within a certain period of time.
  • the identification is one that uniquely identifies the item of mail.
  • the first sorting system Anl-1 and the second sorting system Anl-2 register information about transport operations. These transport process information I_TV-1, I_TV-2, I_TV-3, I_TV-4 are stored in the central database DB.
  • the following transport process information I_TV-1 is stored via the first transport process TV-1: output tray mailing Expression of Merk_V Expression of Merk_R Af-A A-1 Af-A A-2 Af-A A-3 01224 Af-A A-4 aldkrje Af-A A-5
  • the symbol ./. means that the respective mailpiece does not carry a bar pattern on the front or back.
  • the transportation process information I_TV-1 further comprises the respective value of each other feature for the five mailpieces A-1 to A-5, which is not shown in the table.
  • the corresponding transport process information I_TV-2, I_TV-3, I_TV-4 are also stored on the remaining three transport operations TV-2, TV-3 and TV-4.
  • the mail items A-1, ..., A-5 are transported from the output compartment Af-A of the first sorting system Anl-1 in the first container Beh-1 to the feeding device ZE-3 of the third sorting system Anl-3.
  • the invention eliminates the need for the third sorting system Anl-3 to measure an identification of the first container Beh-1 and a time at which the transport process TV-1 was started or ended. It suffices that the third sorting system Anl-3 registers that a transport process TV-w reaches the feeding device ZE-3. Furthermore, the third sorting installation Anl-3 registers which items of mail which pass through the third sorting installation Anl-3 were transported in this transport operation TV-w to the third sorting installation Anl-3. Accordingly, the fourth sorting system Anl-4 registers that Transport process TV-x with the mail items B-1, ..., B-4 reaches the feeder ZE-4.
  • the mail items A1,..., A5 are singulated by the feeder ZE-3 of the third sorting system Anl-3.
  • a measuring device of the third sorting system Anl-4 again measures which values the predefined characteristics for the mailpieces A1,..., A5 assume. In the exemplary embodiment, these are the values of the two marked features Merk_V and Merk_R as well as the values of further features.
  • the mail items B1,..., B4 are separated by the feeder ZE-4 of the fourth sorting installation Anl-4.
  • a measuring device of the fourth sorting system Anl-4 again measures which values the predefined characteristics for the mailpieces B1,..., B4 assume. The corresponding applies to the mail items C1, ..., C6, D1 and D2.
  • the central database DB Whenever a mail item again passes through a sorting system, in the central database DB the data record which was stored for this mail item is searched for. If, therefore, the mail item A-1 passes through the third sorting system Anl-3, the database for the mailpiece A-1 is searched for in the central database DB. This data record was created when the mail item A-1 passed through the first sorting system Anl-1.
  • the information is stored by which transport process - or which transport operations - each mail item is removed from a sorting system. These Information is stored as part of the transportation process information.
  • the feature values measured when re-measuring for a mailpiece are compared with feature values of stored records.
  • This comparison is carried out automatically by a data processing system DVA, which is connected to the central database DB. It would be very time-consuming if the measured feature values would have to be compared with the feature values of all stored data records. Therefore, a preselection is made among the stored records.
  • the third sorting system Anl-3 carries out a restriction of the search space and first determines from which outgoing transport process the mail items originate from an arriving transport process.
  • the third sorting system Anl-3 determines that mail items from a transport process Tv-w pass through the third sorting system Anl-3.
  • the measuring device of the third sorting system Anl-3 measures, from the first n consecutive postal consignments, the two respective values which the two marked features Merk_V and Merk_R assume for these n mailpieces.
  • these two features Merk_V and Merk_R are the presence of a bar pattern or a matrix code on the front side and a bar pattern or a matrix code on the back side and the respectively coded string - or the statement that the mail item does not have a bar pattern on the front side and / or none on the back.
  • the mail items from the transport process Tv-w pass through the third sorting system Anl-3 in the order A-1, A-2,..., A-5.
  • the order under the mail does not need to be adhered to.
  • the characteristic Merk_V thus assumes the value "01224".
  • One mail piece carries the bar pattern for "01224" on the front, another the bar pattern for "aldkrje" on the back.
  • s> s_min and the measurements are interrupted.
  • the only transport process, the transport process TV-1 is determined. From this it is concluded that the incoming transport process TV-w is identical to the transport process TV-1.
  • n_max is used so that the complete measurement of each mail item does not start too late. If the transport process can not be determined after at least n_max postal consignments, it will no longer be determined in the exemplary embodiment, and no search space restriction will be performed.
  • the data record for this mail item is determined in the central database DB.
  • the data record which was stored for this mail item in the central database DB is searched. This search is restricted to those records that come from mail items transported in the TV-1 transport process. For this search, the transport operation information I_TV-1 and the m feature values of the mailing are used.
  • the first sorting system Anl-1 can thus eject the mailpieces in a different order into the sorting bin Af-A, as these mailings later pass through the feeding device ZE-3 of the third sorting plant Anl-3.
