  The present invention can reduce errors such as a mail delivery system, mail classification and delivery to an incorrect address, and can reduce the time for the sender and recipient to check the delivery status of the mail.

  The present invention relates to a better embodiment of a mail delivery system. See the system block diagram shown in FIG. The mail delivery system of the present invention is used to deliver at least one mail 11. In this embodiment, the postal matter 11 may be a package, a letter, or a cargo. The mail delivery system includes a portable mail sticker printing device 10, a mail sticker 111, and a delivery center 12.

  The delivery company's delivery person inputs the recipient's telephone number to the portable mail sticker printing device 10 and generates a sending time by a built-in clock, and then the mail sticker 111 is printed. This postal seal is as shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, the postal sticker 111 is attached to the postal matter 11, and the postal matter number 112 constituted by the recipient's telephone number 1121, the date of sending 1122 and the sending time 1124 is recorded on the postal sticker 111. . This is as shown in FIG. In another embodiment, the postal item number 112 further includes an auxiliary number 1123. This sets the sender's telephone number as the primary number 1123 of the auxiliary number. The portable postal sticker printing apparatus 10 can transmit the postal matter number 112 of the postal sticker 111 and the corresponding basic material to the delivery center 12 so that the delivery center 12 can record using the Internet, electronic mail, or a short message. . In this embodiment, the basic material of the mail item 11 includes the name and address of the sender, and the name and address of the recipient.

  The postal number 112 in the above-described postal seal 111 is meaningful, and the sender's telephone number 1121 and the sender's telephone number 1123 are known to the sender and the recipient, so there is no need to memorize them. The date of sending 1122 can effectively distinguish mails sent by the same sender to the same recipient. The send time 1124 also effectively distinguishes mail that the same sender sends to the same recipient on the same day. Therefore, the recipient or sender can easily check the delivery status of the mail item at the mail item number 112 at any time.

  In FIG. 1, the delivery center 12 is where mail collection, classification and delivery operations are performed. In the distribution center 12, a scanning device 121 and a database 122 are arranged. The database 122 stores the relationship between the postal code number 112 of the postal matter and the basic material, and the postal matter is classified according to the country code or area number of the recipient's telephone number included in the postal matter number 112, and the corresponding delivery area. 123. Then, the postal matter 11 is delivered to the address 14 of the recipient through the delivery mechanism 13. In this embodiment, the delivery mechanism 13 may be a land, sea or air delivery mechanism. In addition, the sender or recipient can inquire the delivery center 12 of the delivery status of the mail by the mail number 112. In addition, since the delivery center 12 can notify the recipient of the mail number 112 via the Internet, a short message service, or an instant message, the recipient can be aware that the mail is delivered in advance.

  If the sender or recipient has already delivered mail using the mail delivery system and then wants to deliver another mail using the mail delivery system again, the mail delivery system is already recorded in the database 122. It is useful for the delivery work of the delivery person because the same basic data of the same sender and recipient can be used.

  In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the basic material of the mail piece 11 can further include a postal annotation. The postal annotation is the situation or precautions in the process of delivery work of the mail piece 11, for example: “Dog bites”, “Nanjing East Road, 2nd stage, after the viaduct of Jianguo North Road "Third house after turning left on the street". If the delivery person delivers the postal matter 11 again in the future, the delivery work can be performed more quickly by using the information in the above-mentioned postal annotation.
