Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of sorting objects in a sorting bin with sorting boxes.
- the invention relates more particularly to a method for sorting postal objects in a sorting bin.
- postal object is meant any type of postal item that may have variable dimensions, but also variable physical characteristics.
- These postal objects can be, among others, a simple letter, a postcard, a magazine, an envelope with or without window, a newspaper, or a catalog or a package.
- the invention also relates to a device for assisting the manual sorting of objects in a sorting box comprising sorting boxes.
- the sorting of postal items has been going on for a long time, particularly in Posts.
- the sorting is done manually by an experienced operator who, first of all, deposits the postal objects to be sorted in a receptacle, then takes the postal items one by one, reads the destination address of each postal item that it has just taken and places it in a sorting box of the sorting box that corresponds to this destination address.
- the sorting bin which is generally arranged on a desk in front of the Operator, can be presented with sorting boxes aligned in rows and columns in a two-dimensional matrix.
- the sorted postal objects can be directly recovered in the sorting boxes of the sorting bin in an orderly manner, for example to prepare a postman tour, or else be transferred to another sorting device in order to refine the sorting.
- the documentary sorting aid system of the document US5794789 comprises bar code automatic reading means, delivery addresses postal objects. A computer then determines the box of the locker corresponding to this address and controls the opening of the box of the locker.
- the object of the invention is to improve the sorting of objects and in particular postal objects.
- the subject of the invention is a method for manually sorting flat objects in a sorting box comprising sorting boxes, according to which a registration signal is produced designating a sorting box of said sorting box in which said item to sort must be placed, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
- the idea behind the invention is therefore to give assistance to the operator based on an automatic reading of sorting information, for example the destination address affixed to the postal objects to be sorted with each movement of picking a postal item from the pile of postal items located in the receptacle and then producing a registration signal designating the sorting box of the sorting bin where the postal item to be sorted is to be placed according to its destination address.
- sorting information for example the destination address affixed to the postal objects to be sorted with each movement of picking a postal item from the pile of postal items located in the receptacle and then producing a registration signal designating the sorting box of the sorting bin where the postal item to be sorted is to be placed according to its destination address.
- the registration signal is a visual signal
- the cue signal is displayed on a display screen
- the digital image of the object is displayed on the display screen
- the registration signal comprises a first datum indicative of a line of the sorting bin and a second datum indicative of a column of the sorting bin;
- the registration signal is a sound signal emitted by a speech synthesizer
- a registration signal is produced for a current object to be sorted and a pre-registration signal for another object to be sorted according to the current object, this pre-registration signal designating a sorting box of the sorting bin which corresponding to the recognized sorting indication in the digital image of this other object;
- the registration and pre-registration signals are visually distinct; a step is provided of automatically producing an availability beep each time a pre-registration signal is generated automatically; from each digital image of an object is calculated an image signature serving as the unique identifier for the object. This makes it possible to sort the bin in an "offline" mode and to retrieve the address information via a remote video coding if necessary;
- the objects are postal objects and the sort indication is destination address information.
- the invention extends to a device for the manual sorting of flat objects in a sorting box including sorting boxes, in which device a control / control unit adapted to produce a registration signal designating a certain sorting box of the sorting bin in which the object to be sorted is to be placed, characterized in that it comprises:
- an imaging device adapted to form a digital image of the object to be sorted from above the stack
- control / command unit is adapted to control said image pickup device so as to automatically form digital images of the top of the stack automatically and to produce automatically, from the digital image of said object of the top of the stack said tracking signal as and when the removal of an object from the top of the stack of flat objects.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a device for assisting the sorting of postal objects according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged and partial schematic view of a display screen of the device of FIG. 1;
- Figure 3 is a diagram showing the steps of the method for manually sorting postal objects in a rack according to the invention.
- the help device for manual sorting the object rack according to the invention is described below by way of non-limiting example for the case of flat postal objects on which are affixed classically address information which constitutes sorting information.
- This help device can be used in a post office or postal sorting center.
- the device 1 for sorting assistance represented in FIG. 1 comprises various elements including a receptacle 2, an illumination 6, an imaging device 11, a control / command unit 1 2 and a sorting rack 7.
- the receptacle 2 is here a storage bin which has a flat bottom 3 and vertical walls 5.
- the tray is designed to store vertically in vertical pile 4 postal items.
- the top of the receptacle 2 is open so as to allow an operator indicated by 10 to easily and quickly collect one by one the objects 4 from the top of the stack.
- the objects 4 are here stored in the receptacle 2 so that each time, the object 4 at the top of the stack is with its face having the destination address which is visible from the outside of the receptacle 2, in Figure 1 visible from the top of the receptacle 2.
- the illumination 6 is designed to uniformly illuminate the objects 4 in the receptacle 2 and more particularly the object 4 of the top of the stack regardless of the height or width of the stack.
- the illumination 6 is disposed above the receptacle 2 so as to ensure a good readability of the address of destination of the object 4 of the top of the stack by eliminating the conditions of installation of the device 1 for sorting assistance in the presence of neon lights or nearby windows.
- the intensity, the color and the position of the light emitted by the lighting 6 could also be adjusted automatically according to the size of the battery, the color of the objects 4 or the lighting conditions of the room in which the device 1 help with sorting is placed.
- the sorting bin 7 comprises several sorting boxes 8 designed to receive one or more objects 4.
- the sorting bin 7 is in particular placed in front of the operator 10 or at any other place adapted so that the operator 10 can quickly and easily access the sorting boxes 8.
- the sorting bin 7 is disposed adjacent the receptacle 2 so that the operator 10 by a simple movement of the arm passes an object 4 of the receptacle 2 to one of the sorting boxes 8 of the sorting bin 7.
- the rows and columns of the sorting rack 7 are numbered or referenced by a box identification code visible by the operator 10, here a code comprising a letter indicative of a column of the sorting box 7, for example ABCD etc., and a number indicative of a line of the sorting bin 7, for example 10, 20, 30 etc.
- the imaging device 1 1 in the example illustrated in Figure 1 is a camera 1 1 placed above the receptacle 2 to take digital images 14 of the object 4 at the top of the stack of objects 4, each digital image 14 then having the destination address affixed to the postal object 4.
- the camera 11 may be designed to automatically form digital images 14 from above the stack at a certain rate, for example to form four digital images 14 per second, throughout the bin sorting process.
- the camera 11 will be placed at a suitable distance from the stack of objects 4, for example at a distance allowing it to have the full height of the stack of objects 4 in its depth of field, which ensures a digital image 14 net of each object 4 as Operator 10 draws objects 4 of the stack to place them in the sorting boxes 8 of the sorting bin 7.
- the control / command unit 12 may be designed to automatically evaluate the destination address of the object 4 at the head of the stack from the digital image 14 of this object 4 produced by the camera 1 1, via a system OCR character recognition and a postal address database as is well known for postal sorting machines. But this evaluation of the destination address could have taken place in a postal sorting machine placed upstream in the sorting process.
- the control / control unit 12 can calculate an image signature which is a unique identifier for the object 4 and reconcile image signatures in databases, destination sorting and postal address data recognized for this object 4.
- a sorting plan has been registered which is an association table which associates addresses to the sorting boxes 8 of the sorting bin 7.
- the control / command unit 12 can determine the bin sorting box 8. 7 where the object 4 must be placed and therefore produce a registration signal 100 which indicates the location of this sorting box 8 in the sorting bin 7.
- the communication between the camera 1 1 and the control / command unit 12 may be wired or non-wired.
- the sorting plane in the control / control unit 12 can be dynamically determined as and when, for example, the filling of the sorting boxes 8 or the period in the day or the quantity of objects 4 to sort at the locker.
- the recognition of the sorting information on the objects 4 may include a recognition of different types of marks present on the postal item and recognizable in this digital image 14 as the recipient's address, whether it be typed or handwritten, but also the address of the issuer, the franking mark, the service indications (priority letter, recommended, by air, ...), advertising flames, ... according to the sorting criteria.
- the sorting box 8 of the sorting bin 7 which is determined in the control / command unit 12 may also result from a combination of different recognizable information in the digital image 14 of the object 4.
- the control / command unit 12 automatically produces a registration signal 100 for each object 4 taken from the receptacle 2. To do this, it filters the non-relevant digital images 14, for example by comparing two successive digital images taken by the camera 14. 1 1. If the two digital images 14 are identical, the registration signal 100 is not recalculated. If the two digital images 14 are different, recognition of the address information is initiated. If the recognition is unambiguous, it is because the two successive digital images 14 concern two different objects 4 and a new registration signal 100 is then produced. If, on the contrary, the recognition is ambiguous or does not succeed, the registration signal is not produced. Indeed, the digital image 14 may be that of the hand of the operator 10 when he grabs an object 4 at the head of the stack.
- the registration signal 100 is refreshed each time an object 4 is picked up at the head of the stack, this change being for example detected by comparison of two successive digital images 14 taken by the camera 11.
- the control / control unit 12 produces at the same time the signal 100 for an object 4 being placed in a sorting box 8 and also another signal 101 called "pre-registration" which is calculated for the object 4 already at the top of the stack and which is visible by the camera 12 but which is not yet taken by the operator 10. This advance presentation of the designation of the next object 4 to sort allows to further increase the sorting rate.
- the registration signals 100, of the pre-registration 101 are visual signals displayed on a screen 13, placed in the vicinity of the sorting bin 7 and therefore of the operator 10.
- an exemplary display of the registration signal 100 in the form of a concatenation of FIG. a line identifier (here A) and a column identifier (here 50).
- the pre-registration signal 101 has the same format as the registration signal 100, in the example "C70".
- the registration signals 100, pre-registration 101 may be displayed with different colors or with different character formats to be easily differentiated by the Operator 10.
- FIG. 1 an exemplary display of the registration signal 100, in the form of a concatenation of FIG. a line identifier (here A) and a column identifier (here 50).
- the pre-registration signal 101 has the same format as the registration signal 100, in the example "C70".
- the registration signals 100, pre-registration 101 may be displayed with different colors or with different character formats to be easily differentiated by the Operator 10.
- registration signal 100 is displayed in the center of the display screen 13 with as background the digital image 14 of the object 4 being placed in the sorting bin 7 while the pre-order signal 101 is displayed in the corner at the top right of the display screen 13. It will be understood that each time an object 4 is picked up at the top of the stack in the receptacle 2, the registration signals 100, prefixing 101 are refreshed. and that the pre-registration signal 101 replaces each time the registration signal 100.
- the display screen 13 can be a touch screen with virtual keyboard or physical keyboard, the keyboard can be used by the operator 10 to enter / complete data relating to the destination address of an object 4, for example if this address can not be automatically read unambiguously.
- Figure 3 illustrates the major steps of the trap sorting method according to the invention.
- the Operator 10 therefore places objects 4 to be stacked in the receptacle 2, the objects 4 having their face carrying the address information facing upwards towards the camera January 1.
- the Operator 10 actuates for example a key on the touch display screen 13 which starts a cyclic process of image capture by the camera 1 1, address evaluation where appropriate and calculation of registering signals 100 and pre-registration 101 if necessary and then presenting these signals for example on the display screen 13.
- the camera 1 1 automatically captures a first digital image 14 of the object 4 at the head of the object stack 4.
- the digital image 14 is sent to the control / command unit 12 which is here confused with the display screen 13.
- the control / control unit 12 after an OCR processing, automatically evaluates the destination address in the current digital image 14. Alternatively, a digital image signature is calculated. This image signature is a unique identifier V-ld for the current object 4. From this unique identifier V-ld, automatic recognition results made upstream can be retrieved. At 330, from the recognition of the destination address and a bin sorting plan, the control / control unit 12 automatically calculates the registration signal 100, ie the location of the sorting box 8 in the sorting bin 7 where the current object 4 to be sorted is to be placed. This registration signal 100is displayed on the display screen 13 in a manner visible to the Operator 10.
- a preprocessing signal 101 can be jointly calculated and displayed on the display screen 13. This fact, while he observes on the display screen 13 the designation of the sorting box 8 where he must place the object 4 that he holds in his hand, the operator 10 also perceives the designation of the box sort 8 in which the next object 4 will have to be placed. It can therefore anticipate this placement which speeds up the sorting process.
- the method according to the invention extends to the case where the Operator 10 returns to the head of the stack an object 4 which has already been taken before.
- the control / command unit 12 is provided with a keyboard
- the Operator 10 may be invited by the system to enter all or part of the destination address, the system playing the role. a video encoder. If the destination address is not recognizable in the digital image 14 of an object 4, the system may be designed to allow the Operator 10 to output this object 4 from the bin sort cycle.
- the digital image 14 of this object 4 can then be sent to a remote dedicated video coding station and the result of the video coding can be stored in a database connected to the control / command unit 12.
- the sorting bin can be provided with LED type of LEDs at each sorting box (one per sorting box).
- the display of a registration signal is then achieved by lighting the indicator light of the box designated by this signal.
- the LED can emit a continuous light for the signal while the signal is displayed by a flashing LED signal for example (or another color).
- the registration signal and the pre-registration signal can be produced by a speech synthesizer.
- an audible signal of availability may be generated by the control / command unit to warn the Operator that he may enter the signal. next object of the stack to sort.
- the trap sorting method according to the invention can be used in a sorting in a single pass or in several sorting passes.
