Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for transporting and processing a plurality of objects, in particular postal items.
  • a mail item typically passes at least twice through a sorting system and is then transported to the respective predetermined delivery address. During the first pass, the delivery address of the mailpiece is read. On the second pass, the read delivery address is determined again. The mailpiece is then transported to the determined delivery address.
  • a method having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 6 is made EP 1222037 B1 known.
  • the items are there also mail items that pass through at least once a sorting machine. It is determined in which means of transport (there: container) a mail item is transported to the processing system. saved which mail item is transported in which container. After transport, a machine-readable label of the container is read. The search for the record is restricted to the records of mail items from that container.
  • WO 2006/100357 A1 A method for sorting mailpieces. Each mail item goes through a sorting system twice. In each pass, an image is generated in each case, and by evaluating the image, a feature value vector is generated. The feature value vector from the first pass is stored in a central database. In addition, together with the feature value vector, a serial number for the mailpiece is stored, which indicates the location number in the order in which the mailpieces are ejected after the first pass. The feature value vector from the second pass is compared with the stored feature value vectors. In order to limit the search space, a sequence of feature value vectors of mail items that follow one another in the second sorting run is compared with stored feature value vectors.
  • the stored serial numbers of stored characteristic value vectors which match sufficiently, are determined. With a linear approximation, an expected serial number is calculated for each mail item, and the feature value vector of a mail item from the second sorting pass is compared only with stored feature value vectors in the series of the expected serial numbers.
  • Mail items are also sorted in several sorting runs.
  • a feature value vector is generated in each case.
  • an identifier of the sorting output is stored into which the mailpiece was ejected.
  • the address is decoded and stored in the first sorting pass by OCR. Divide the identifiers of the sorting outputs the amount of the stored feature value vectors in several memory areas.
  • the address of a mail item is deciphered again. With the aid of the thus deciphered address, the correct memory area is identified. In this memory area is searched for the stored feature value vector.
  • a method for checking a bar pattern on a mailpiece In a first sorting pass, a unique identifier in the form of a bar pattern ("bar code") is printed on the mailpiece. In addition, a feature vector for the mailpiece is generated, for which purpose an image of the mailpiece is evaluated. In a database, a data record with the feature vector and the label is stored. The mail item goes through a sorting system a second time. If it is not possible in this case to read the bar pattern, a feature vector is again generated, and the mailpiece is identified on the basis of the feature vector.
  • 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, which perform a search space restriction that does not require to provide a means of transport with a machine-readable label and to read this marking after the means of transport has been transported to the respective processing plant.
  • At least one measurable processing attribute and at least one measurable characteristic are predefined.
  • a sequence of feature values is determined. This sequence searches for the record.
  • the invention eliminates the need to read a machine readable identification of a means of transport. It is not necessary for the item order to match the order of measurement. Therefore, the possibility is considered that the order among the items is changed by a transportation operation.
  • the invention can be z. B. for the processing and sorting of mail, baggage of travelers or containers or other freight items.
  • the processing attribute is, for example, an identification of a destination address to which the object is to be transported.
  • the destination is z. B. a delivery address for a mail or a production line of a factory or a destination station or destination port or destination airport for a piece of luggage or freight.
  • the edit attribute may also be, for example, a label of an owner of the item or a dimension or weight of the item.
  • the edit attribute may also be the result of an evaluation of a fare with which the item is provided.
  • Fig. 1 shows a network with three processing plants Anl-1, Anl-2 and Anl-3. 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 with which the item of mail is provided. This delivery address acts as the edit attribute value of the mailpiece. The sorting system discharges the mail item into one of the output compartments depending on the recognized delivery address.
  • Each of the three sorting systems Anl-1, Anl-2, Anl-3 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 the delivery address automatically by "Optical 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 - depending on the delivery address determined in each case, the sorting system Anl-1 removes the mailpiece into one of the output trays.
  • FIG. 1 In the example of Fig. 1 three output bins Af-1.1, Af-1.2 and Af-1.3 of the sorting system Anl-1 are shown.
  • the mail items that the sorting system Anl-1 has discharged into the output tray Af-1.1 are in the example of Fig. 1 placed in a container Beh-1.
  • the container Beh-1 with these mail items is again transported to the material input ZE-1 of the sorting system Anl-1.
  • the mail items from the container Beh-1 are separated from the material input ZE-1 and go through again the sorting system Anl-1.
  • 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. It is possible that mail items are 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 method is known from EP 948416 B1. 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.
  • Fig. 1 the mail items are fed from the output tray Af-1.1 of the feeder ZE-1 and go through the system Anl-1 again.
  • One reason for this may be that n-pass sequencing is being performed, as just described, It is also possible that individual mail items repeatedly through the sorting system Anl-1, because an "off-line video coding" is performed.
  • 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.
  • mail items are sent within a location or delivery area and the first sorting system Anl-1 therefore carries out both the incoming sorting and the subsequent outgoing sorting for these mail items.
  • the mail items which the sorting system Anl-1 has discharged into the output tray Af-1.2 are used in the example of FIG Fig. 1 placed in a container Beh-2.
  • the container Beh-1 with these postal items is transported to the material input ZE-2 of the second sorting system An1-2.
  • the mail items from the container Beh-2 are separated from the material input ZE-2 and go through the sorting system Anl-2.
  • the first sorting installation Anl-1 determines, for each mail item that passes through the sorting installation Anl-1, which value each predefined feature assumes in this mail item. 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 second sorting system Anl-2 likewise measures, for each mail item that passes through the sorting system Anl-2, which value each predefined characteristic assumes for this mail item. As a result, the second sorting system Anl-2 likewise generates a feature vector with n feature values.
  • the second sorting system Anl-2 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 data record which originates from the mail item currently to be examined is determined. This data record includes the delivery address of the mail item that the first sorting system Anl-1 has read.
  • Fig. 2 shows a sequence of 26 mail items, which has passed through the first sorting system Anl-1 and discharged in a discharge order in the output tray Af-1.2. After the removal is first the mailpiece 1 in the output tray Af-1.2, then the mailpiece 2, then the mailing 3 and so on. In Fig. 2 the sequence is split into two columns. The conveying direction when discharging is represented by an arrow F.
  • the first sorting system Anl-1 measures the values of a plurality of features for each mail item, including the value which a flagged feature Merk-1 can assume.
  • This feature Merk-1 assumes for each mail item exactly one of the following values: a, b, c, d, e, f, r, u, v, w, x, y, z, -.
  • a record is stored for each mail item.
  • This data record comprises an internal identification of the mail item as well as the value which the characteristic Merk-1 accepts for this mail item.
  • Fig. 2 is shown, which value has been measured by the first sorting system Anl-1 for each of the 26 mail items and stored as part of the transport information I. For example, the first sorting system Anl-1 has measured and stored that the feature Merk-1 for the mailpiece 13 assumes the value y.
  • Regularly mail items are removed from the output tray Af-1.2, spent in a container and transported in this container to the material input ZE-2 of the second sorting system Anl-2.
  • Exemplary is in Fig. 1 the container Beh-2 shown.
  • the 26 mail items are transported in a single transport operation by means of the container Beh-2 for material input ZE-2.
  • Fig. 2 Figure 12 shows the discard order functioning as the item order among the 26 items of mail and the corresponding record order among the 26 records for these 26 items.
  • the sequence that the first sorting system Anl-1 has produced during rejection is not completely adhered to during the transport process. Rather, the order is only in Maintained subsequences and thereby generates a feed order, which differs from the Ausschleusungs sequence.
  • this feed order the 26 mail items of the substance input ZE-2 of the second sorting system Anl-2 are supplied.
  • This feed order with the subsequences illustrates Fig. 3 , In Fig. 3 are indicated by dashed lines, the boundaries between the subsequences. These limits are not physically marked, z. B. by separation cards.
  • the second sorting system Anl-2 can not reconstruct the ejection order exclusively from the feed order.
  • n_max 5 postal items in Fig. 5 marked with x1 to x5.
  • Fig. 4 shows by way of example a data record sequence, namely those for the 26 mail items which were transported together in the container Beh-2.
  • n_max 5 data sets in which the feature value sequence y, -, u, v, - occurs, namely the subsequence with the data records for the mailpieces 13 to 17. Using For the remaining characteristic values, it is checked whether these five data records actually originate from the five postal items 13 to 17.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates the method for the mail item 16.
  • the item sequence consists of the mail items 16, 17, 18, 1, 2.
  • n 3 feature values of the mail items x1, x2, and x3 are used.
  • This provides the feature value sequence v, -, w.
  • it is checked whether the data records from the mailpieces 16, 17, 18 actually originate from the mailpieces x1, x2 and x3.
  • the verification of whether the found data sequence actually originates from the selected object sequence is performed using the measured values of the remaining features - the measured feature values are compared with the feature values of the data sets. It is possible that in this case it is determined that the data set sequence found does not originate from the objects of the selected object sequence. Also in this case, n is decreased to find more records sequences, under which then is the correct record sequence.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates the method for the case of the mail item 17.
  • the feature value sequence is -, w.
  • Two sets of data records are found, namely 17, 18 and 25, 26.
  • the values of the further features are used to check whether the mailpieces x1, x2 are identical to the mailpieces 17, 18 or identical to the mailpieces 25, 26 ,
