Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for sending a mail item.
  • a certain postage In order to have a postal consignment transported by a postal company, a certain postage usually has to be paid to the postal company.
  • the postage due is determined by the dimensions and weight of the mailpieces.
  • a postal company specifies different categories of shipment, which are characterized by dimensions and weights in predefined areas and which are decisive for the postage.
  • the postage which results for a mail item as a result of a specific combination of a mailing category and a destination as well as any desired additional services is usually determined by the sender of the mailing in order to apply a corresponding amount of franking to the mail item before it is sent to the mailing party Postal company is delivered.
  • the determination of the correct postage amount for the sender is associated with a considerable effort.
  • the sender must either take care of the use of a current postage table of the postal company and manually adjust the postage amount based on the Determine table or the sender uses an automated franking device, the purchase and operation of which is expensive. It would therefore be desirable to facilitate the franking of postal items for the sender and to relieve him in particular of the determination of the postage.
  • the sender to postage the postage without postage, or postage without postage, and the postal company undertake the postage determination.
  • the postal company determines the weight and size of the consignment in order to determine the postage to be paid and to debit a customer account with the postage.
  • a method for sending a postal item in which an item applied to the item of mail is detected, which is representative of dimensions and / or weight of the item of mail.
  • a postage to be paid for the carriage of the item of mail is determined, and the item of mail is subsequently forwarded to a recipient.
  • an apparatus for sending a mailpiece comprises a detection device that is configured to detect an indication applied to the mailpiece that is representative of dimensions and / or weight of the mailpiece. Furthermore, the device comprises a postage determination unit which is connected to the detection device and which is designed to determine a postage to be paid for the carriage of the mailpiece in accordance with the recorded information, and a billing unit which is configured to perform a billing operation with respect to the postage determination to initiate the postage.
  • An advantage of the invention is that a sender can also enter larger quantities of mail without having to determine the postage for the mail.
  • the sender also does not need a franking machine that determines the postage for the franking of mailpieces.
  • the mailing company delivering the item of mail may use the sender's indication, which is representative of the dimensions and / or the weight of the item of mail, to settle the postage.
  • a determination of the dimensions and / or weight of a mail piece at the postal company is therefore not required for each shipment. Only in individual cases can a control of the information applied to the mailpiece be provided. This is not a verifiable means for measuring the transmission parameters for processing all mail at the postal company.
  • the information on the mailpiece which is representative of the dimensions and / or the weight can in particular specify the dimensions and / or the weight or be derived from the dimensions and / or the weight.
  • the postal company checks the details of the sender on the mailpieces on a random basis by its own determination of the mailing parameters. For this purpose, however, only shipments have to be checked without having to measure the shipment parameters with a high throughput. For the testing of the samples preferably a calibrated device is used, which, however, only has to have a low throughput.
  • a postage value which is associated with the weight and / or dimensions of the mail item is determined in accordance with the information representative of the dimensions and / or the weight .
  • This postage value is preferably charged to the sender for the delivery of the mail item.
  • a prefabricated note is applied to the mailpiece, and the indication representative of the dimensions and / or the weight is contained in a section of the prefabricated memorandum provided for this purpose.
  • An associated embodiment of the method and the device is characterized in that the prefabricated memo has a plurality of fields for different weights and / or dimensions and the application of the dimensions and / or the weight representative information on the mail piece by marking one of the fields he follows.
  • the sender only has to attach a mark, for example by ticking, on the prefabricated note, thereby further simplifying the shipping preparations for the mail item.
  • the machine readability of the item is increased because a label is usually easier to decipher than letters or numbers.
  • a refinement of the method and the apparatus includes that the information representative of the dimension and / or the weight specifies a shipment category which comprises postal items whose weight lies within a predetermined range and / or whose dimensions are within predetermined ranges.
  • the mailing category of a mail item can usually be determined on the basis of the intended ranges for the dimensions and / or the weight, without having to measure the dimensions and / or the weight of the mail item exactly. The determination of the weight and / or dimensions representative information is thereby facilitated for the sender.
  • postal operators generally associate mailing categories directly with a given postage value for delivery to a specific mailing destination.
  • the indication of the shipment category also leads to a simplification of the postage determination.
  • an embodiment of the method and the device provides that a note without marking a mailing category is regarded as a specification of a given mailing category.
  • the refinement has the advantage that a sender-side marking in the prefabricated note can be omitted for mail items of the predetermined category.
  • the indication of the shipment category is implicit in this case.
  • An embodiment of the method and the apparatus is characterized in that in addition an information applied to the item of mail is detected, which identifies the sender of the item of mail, and the ascertained postage is charged to the sender identified by the information.
  • the information identifying the sender can be contained in the prefabricated note and configured, for example, as an identifier assigned to the sender.
  • the information identifying the sender can be introduced by the sender or already included in the production of the prefabricated postage indicium, whereby the sender is relieved.
  • an embodiment of the method and the device includes that the information representing the dimensions and / or the weight and / or the information identifying the sender are read from a captured image of a surface of the mailpiece.
  • the information representing the dimensions and / or the weight and / or the information identifying the sender are read from a captured image of a surface of the mailpiece.
  • facilities for recording and evaluating mailing images are generally already available, in particular for the automated recording of recipient addresses of mailpieces.
  • These devices can also be advantageously used to record the information representative of the weight and / or the dimensions as well as the information identifying the sender. For this purpose, only additional evaluations of the mission images are required, which can be implemented, for example, by means of suitable software.
  • further shipment parameters can be used to determine the postage.
  • An embodiment of the method and the device provides that a consignment destination of the mail item contained in the recipient address is determined and likewise used to determine the postage.
  • an embodiment of the method and the device includes that one or more further details on the mailpiece are used to determine the postage intended for the carriage of the mailpiece, in particular an indication of at least one postal supplementary service, such as, for example, delivery by registered mail. The further details may also be included in the note, which includes the indication representative of the weight and / or dimensions of the mailpiece.
  • a plurality of postage values associated with the weight and / or the dimensions are determined in accordance with the indication representative of the weight and / or the dimensions.
  • an embodiment of the method and the device provides that the postage to be paid for the carriage of the mail item is selected from the plurality of postage values according to an aforementioned criterion.
  • the criterion may in particular provide for the selection of the lowest postage value.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a mail piece 101, the recipient address information 102 and a postage indicium 103 has.
  • the recipient address information includes, for example, the name of the recipient 304 and address data for specifying the delivery point at which the mail item 101 is to be delivered to the recipient 304.
  • Components of the address data are, for example, the details of street, house number, location and / or postal code.
  • the postage indicium 103 is applied to the mail piece 101 before it is delivered to a postal company intended for delivery. It does not include a postage, but includes information used by the postal operator during shipment processing to determine the amount of postage payable for transporting the mailpiece 101 to the recipient 304. This information includes an indication of the dimensions and / or weight of the mail piece 101, which has specified the dimensions and / or weight of the mail piece 101 or derived from the dimensions and / or the weight. The dimensions include the length L and the width B of the mail piece 101. In one embodiment, the height H of the mail piece 101 can also be taken into account as a further dimension.
  • the information about the dimensions and / or the weight of the mail item 101 is introduced by the sender 301 into the postage indicium 103 before the mail item 101 is sent. For this purpose, it may be necessary for sender 301 to determine at least approximately the dimensions of mail item 101 and / or its weight. For this purpose, the sender 301 can use any methods and / or devices which are suitable for detecting the dimensions and / or weight of a mail item 101.
  • specific values for all or some dimensions are determined by the sender 301 and incorporated in the postage indicium 103.
  • the dimensions to be indicated here may be specified by the postal company intended to transport the mail item 101.
  • the sender 301 can determine the weight of the mail item 101 and indicate its value in the franking mark 103.

  • the sender 301 may use a computer-aided printing device. The clearly stated information may also be included in the franking mark 103 by hand.
  • the postage indicium 103 does not contain individual values of the dimensions and / or weight of the mail item 101, but rather a mail item category to which the mail item 101 belongs.
  • the postal company provided for the carriage of the mail item 101 may specify a plurality of mailing categories, each comprising mailpieces 101 having dimensions and a weight in predetermined areas.
  • the number of categories, the individual areas, as well as of the different dimensions and the weight selected sizes, which are used for the definition of the categories, can basically be chosen arbitrarily.
  • the intended categories of mail may include, for example, standard letters, contact letters, large letters and maximum letters, each having dimensions and weights within ranges given in Table 1 below. Likewise, however, other categories of delivery can also be specified.
  • the mail item category determined by the sender 301 is entered in the franking mark 103 in coded form in clear text or, as previously explained in terms of dimensions and weight.
  • prefabricated postage indicia 103 are preferably provided and used by the sender 301, which enable a selection of the appropriate shipment category by a simple marking. The marking corresponds in this case to the indication of the mailing category or the indication of the dimensions and / or the weight of the mail item 101.
  • a postage indicium 103 which allows the application of markings by ticking or the like, is shown schematically in FIG. 2a represented and provided with the reference numeral 103 '.
  • the sender 301 may specify the relevant item category for the item of mail 101 provided with the postage indicium 103, as is the case in the item Figur2a shown franking mark 103 is shown for a large letter. No field is planned for the fourth shipment category of the standard letters. This category is used if none of the existing fields 201i has been marked by the sender 301. This may also be provided in the use of other categories, wherein preferably no field is provided for the transmission category, the occurrence of which is expected to be the most common. As a result, the shipping preparations for the sender 301 are facilitated because it does not need to apply markings to a plurality of mailpieces 101.
  • the postage indicia 103 described above are suitable for use for all mailpieces 101 which are subject to the mailing categories considered in the postage indicia 103.
  • Such postage indicia 103 can be output, for example, in the form of stickers to the sender 301, which are glued by the sender 301 onto the mailpieces 101 to be sent.
  • the labels may be output to the sender 301 on a roll or sheets.
  • Other forms of output of the pre-made postage indicia 103 are also possible, such as the output as an electronic file, the contents of which are printed by the sender 301 on the mail piece 101.
  • the marking corresponding to the dimensions and / or the weight can be generated by the sender 301 either manually or manually or by means of a mechanical, in particular a computer-aided printing device.
  • prefabricated postage indicia 103 may be issued for mailpieces 101 having specific parameters. This may in particular be mail items 101 with specific dimensions, which may be attributable to different shipment categories due to different shipping weights.
  • the format may already be specified in the prefabricated postage indicium 103, and the prefabricated postage indicium 103 may comprise a plurality of fields for different weight ranges.
