- the descriptive address and delivery sequence associated to a pointer may be obtained via internet from the master address database when it needs to be displayed or printed. This may avoid the use of outdated or stagnant data.
- the fundamental approach to assigning the SID code may include building a geo-spatial address database that allows the assignment of an identifier to map objects representing buildings and homes.
- the method of creation of the database may include, for the target area (geographical area such as zone, city, state or country):
- the SID or Pointer is based on a coordinates based algorithm it can be easily calculated in any GPS enabled equipment such as, for example, a phone—provided that the phone contains or receives the algorithm and data for calculating. Once a person obtains the correct SID or Pointer it is easy to obtain the descriptive address from the Master Address Database (e.g., via a secure network connection).
- the Master Address Database may be built around the SID or Pointer. Thus, once a building is assigned a pointer it may be possible to associate multiple building names or street names to each building to facilitate the search of a specific building in search maps. It may also be possible to define a specific building name/number or street name/number as the primary or official address without giving up the capability of having multiple alternate addresses.
- the database may also contains specific building information, building sub-dwelling information, residents information, geospatial information, delivery information, political division and any pertinent information that can be connected via the pointer.
- the address database of end users may only need to store the pointer and sub dwelling information in their databases. Any other address related information such as a descriptive address may be obtained from the Master Address Database, as it is needed.

- the barcode and pointer may simplify the reading of the address and sorting to the parcels.
- each SID or Pointer is geo-referenced, it may facilitate the implementation of the latest localized technology even in countries that lack updated and structured addresses.
- the techniques for synchronized address identification coding and print sequencing provide unique way in which the property is addressed and a unique method by which this addressing component is stored in a Master Address Database and is linked with a sequenced delivery file to enable automatic sequencing at the time of printing the address or the parcel waybill.
- the full benefit of this development may be attained in places that lack a formal addressing system, through the introduction of a new addressing system designed for the digital age and capable of taking full advantage of existing technology.
- Method 200 may begin at step 200 .
- a geo-spatial map database representing buildings and houses in the target area may be built.
- the base data for this step (e.g., polygons or points) may be either acquired or created by field visits.
- This data forms the database address objects.
- Information assigned to each address object may include (where available) traditional address elements such as a building's name, building's number, a sub address descriptor, business name, owner, street name and type, district or region.
- a SID allocation GRID (e.g., a geometric grid series, using, for example and without limitation, cells of 100 meters by 100 meters to cover the target area) may be generated.
- the extent of each grid series can be 62.5 kilometers on the X-axis and 99.9 kilometers on the Y-axis. More than one grid series may be required covering a target area.
- FIG. 3 An SID Allocation Grid Series for Panama District, Panama is depicted in FIG. 3 .
- grid allocation series and cells may be numbered.
- Each grid series may be numbered using a numeric field, for example and without limitation, two digits (NN). Grids may be aligned in such a way to cover an entire city, district, state or province, depending upon the political division and extension of each individual country.
- the cells within each grid series may also be numbered. For example, in some embodiments, numbering may start at the bottom left-most cell (the origin) and may use the following structure:
- Two Alpha characters starting AA may be used to reference cells along the x axis;
- NNN Three numbers (NNN), stating at 000 , may be used to reference cells along the y axis.
- the SID may be calculated based on the position of the address object within the SID allocation cell.
- the SID can then be applied geographically to one or more address objects as defined by its position within the grid:
- each building may have a corresponding polygon as the address object, a point object may be created within the polygon for addressing purposes.
- This object can be the centroid of the polygon or at a position to represent a feature such as a main access way.
- the cell containing the centroid or desired building point may become the building SID.
- the remaining two characters of the SID may be allocated based on the position of the address cell within the 100 m by 100 m grid cell. Again, the character allocation may be based, for example, on the linear distance of the cell from the origin of the grid cell West to East and South to North.
- a discrete and fixed progression such as, for example, one having 4 meter on the x axis and 4 meter progressions on the y axis, may be used.
- each of the subsequent increments of 4.0 m, along either axis may be assigned a letter sequentially from A to Y.
- the use of the address of an small area to locate an object address may facilitate creation of a code small enough to allow its memorization by residents (e.g., a total of seven digits instead of sixteen).
- the “z” character is retired unless needed to resolve conflict.
- the z character may be used (e.g., if there are two buildings completely contained in the same 4 meter square, a z character may be assigned to one of them).
- FIG. 4 A grid with 100 meter allocation cells and SID components is depicted in FIG. 4 .
- any sub dwelling or apartment information within the building may also be provided with a unique reference, called the SID Suffix.
- the floor and apartment numbers may also be used.
- collections of address objects may be grouped to create delivery rounds.
- Target area address objects may be divided up into manageable blocks called delivery rounds (the size may be dependent on the density of the dwellings and the mode of transport for mail delivery purposes).
- each address object may be assigned a 3 character round descriptor (aaa).
- a delivery round sequence value may be applied to one or more address objects. Taking into account the road and transportation requirements, one or more address objects within a round may then be assigned a sequence number (e.g., the order in which delivery would occur). According to some embodiments, the sequence number may be a 3 number (nnn) field, which may facilitate any required insertions at the time of delivery increments in steps of 10.
- nnn 3 number
- an advantage of a pointer based centralized addressing system is that any information associated to an SID or Pointer can be updated overnight or over a holiday. The end user only need to store in their systems the POINTER, all other associated information may be accessed from the Master Address Database as needed to display or print (e.g., in real time).
- the format of the dwelling reference may be assigned to one or more of the sub-dwellings within a property.
- Sub-dwellings within a single property may have the same SID, thus the suffix described in step 210 above may be sorted (e.g., based on floor level and location of the sub-dwelling within the floor), to facilitate an efficient delivery with buildings. This is more relevant when considering the absence of mailboxes in some buildings.
- One or more referential attributes of the building may be associated to the sub-dwellings.
- the SID and sub-dwelling reference may be applied to one or more records of the mailing database.
- One or more buildings and SID/Pointers may be created based on a geographic location.
- a SID may also be associated to one or more portions of existing address information such as building name or number, street names(s), commercial establishments and inventory of units and respective level in the case of buildings. Delivery route and sequence files may be created and associated to one or more SIDs.
- a print index file may be generated by linking the mailing database and sequence file by SID and sub-dwelling.
- search maps may be created for the general population and to allow address searches from within other applications (e.g., business and government applications). The search may be done based on any known address information including building name and commercial establishments within building. Predictive text and maps may allow the precise identification of the desired location. Once a location is approved the Address ID may be passed to the requesting Customer Database.
- the sequence index file may be generated for each SID and supplied as the print order so that the mail may be sorted, prior to printing in the exact sequence needed for delivery.
- the Waybill may include a barcode with the Pointer and delivery sequence obtained from the Master Address Database), thus simplifying the reading of the address and sorting to the parcels
- the mailing database may be ordered based on the indexed sequence and print mail may be generated. This may incorporate address and delivery sequence into deliveries of documents or Parcels.

Description
This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/975,662, filed Apr. 4, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates generally to assignment of a geographical based unique address identification code to addresses and, more particularly, to techniques for applying such unique address identification codes in geographical locations lacking structured address systems.
Over two thirds of the world's population live in areas that lack a structured addressing system. Traditional address systems require several fields to identify a unique address (street name, street number, street type, city state zip code) and have proven difficult to update and maintain as cities grow and political boundaries are redrawn. Furthermore, the lack of a unique address key has impeded the electronic updates of addresses to end-users. Given the amount of data required to define an address, address information is not ideal for the digital world. An address requires at a minimum street name, number, city, state, and zip code.
Additionally, developing countries that have lapsed or have poor addressing systems may have little or no access to modern localized services and substandard postal/parcel delivery. This affects not only personal communications, but also business and government communications. Government services such as property permitting services, tax administration and collection, school districting, health system managements, trash collection and emergency services also suffer from poor addressing systems. Finally the lack of proper addressing system also hinders proper census and further penetration of financial and other services to mid to lower income people.
In view of the foregoing, it may be understood that there may be significant problems and shortcomings associated with current structured addressing technologies.
Techniques for synchronized address coding and print sequencing are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for assignment of a geographical based unique address identification code (e.g., a Synchronized ID (SID or Pointer)) to a dwelling or business. The techniques may further include integration of a SID based Master Address Database, SID based search maps and/or the association of a delivery sequence number to one or more SIDs or Pointers. The delivery sequence may contain the route and the delivery sequence within the route. The delivery sequence may thus facilitate the sortation of documents and parcels into the intended delivery sequence at the time of printing the address label or waybill. The descriptive address and delivery sequence associated to a pointer may be obtained via internet from the master address database to be displayed or printed. Thus, the system may avoid stagnant or outdated data.
The present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to particular embodiments thereof as shown in the accompanying drawings. While the present disclosure is described below with reference to particular embodiments, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Those of ordinary skill in the art having access to the teachings herein will recognize additional implementations, modifications, and embodiments, as well as other fields of use, which are within the scope of the present disclosure as described herein, and with respect to which the present disclosure may be of significant utility.
In order to facilitate a fuller understanding of the present disclosure, reference is now made to the accompanying drawings, in which like elements are referenced with like numerals. These drawings should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure, but are intended to be illustrative only.
Network 112 may be a local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), the Internet, a cellular network, a satellite network, or another network that permits communication between clients 102 and 104, server 106, database 110, and other devices communicatively coupled to network 112. Network 112 may further include one, or any number, of the types of networks mentioned above operating as a stand-alone network or in cooperation with each other. Although networks 112 is depicted as one network, it should be appreciated that according to one or more embodiments, network 112 may comprise a plurality of interconnected networks.
According to some embodiments, database 110 may be a geo-spatial address database. Database 110 may store, for example, address data, allocation grid series, grid allocation cells, SID components, sub-dwelling data, SID based search maps, the association of a delivery sequence number to one or more SIDs or Pointers, delivery sequences, index sequence files, geo-location data, client information, account information, traditional address elements (e.g., a building's name, building's number, a sub address descriptor, business name, owner, street name and type, district or region, etc.), and geo-location data.
Techniques for synchronized address identification coding and print sequencing may provide a coordinates based and centralized addressing system that allows improved efficiency for: the establishment of new address and management of cities; address maintenance; and postal and parcel delivery and as well a series of important localized services. This is especially relevant for developing countries that have lapsed or poor addressing systems, no access to modern localized services and/or substandard postal/parcel delivery, because it allows such countries to leapfrog to a modern and efficient addressing system. Government can further benefit from localized government services such as, for example: the implementation of a modern addressing system in the management of property permits, tax administration and collection, school districting, health management, emergency services, utility services, accurate census trash collection and the further penetration of financial and other services to mid to lower income people.
Techniques for synchronized address identification coding and print sequencing may be considered in two parts. The following chart contains terms used below to describe embodiments of the techniques.

Part one is the assignment of a geographical based unique address identification code denominated Synchronized ID (SID or Pointer) to one or more dwellings or businesses.
Part two is the integration of an SID based Master Address Database, SID based search maps, and the association of a delivery sequence number to one or more SIDs or Pointers. The delivery sequence can contain the route and the delivery sequence within the route. Thus, the delivery sequence may facilitate sortation of documents and parcel into an intended delivery sequence at the time of printing the address label or waybill. The descriptive address and delivery sequence associated to a pointer may be obtained via internet from the master address database when it needs to be displayed or printed. This may avoid the use of outdated or stagnant data.
The two parts of the techniques for synchronized address identification coding and print sequencing are described at a high level below and in more detail in following sections.
The fundamental approach to assigning the SID code may include building a geo-spatial address database that allows the assignment of an identifier to map objects representing buildings and homes.
The method of creation of the database may include, for the target area (geographical area such as zone, city, state or country):
-
- 1. Obtaining a spatial dataset that has property information contained as geographical address objects (such as buildings);
- 2. Validating those objects and incorporate at a minimum building related information, existing street data and political division data;
- 3. Using SID Allocation Grids assign a unique SID to each building and in turn to each separate dwelling within the building.
Since the SID or Pointer is based on a coordinates based algorithm it can be easily calculated in any GPS enabled equipment such as, for example, a phone—provided that the phone contains or receives the algorithm and data for calculating. Once a person obtains the correct SID or Pointer it is easy to obtain the descriptive address from the Master Address Database (e.g., via a secure network connection).
The Master Address Database may be built around the SID or Pointer. Thus, once a building is assigned a pointer it may be possible to associate multiple building names or street names to each building to facilitate the search of a specific building in search maps. It may also be possible to define a specific building name/number or street name/number as the primary or official address without giving up the capability of having multiple alternate addresses. In addition to street address information the database may also contains specific building information, building sub-dwelling information, residents information, geospatial information, delivery information, political division and any pertinent information that can be connected via the pointer.
Given the existence of a pointer-based master address database, the address database of end users (private or public) may only need to store the pointer and sub dwelling information in their databases. Any other address related information such as a descriptive address may be obtained from the Master Address Database, as it is needed. The centralization of address information based on a geo-referenced pointer may facilitate access to updated information at levels unattainable with existing address schemes.
Once a SID has a print sequence associated to it that defines the routes and delivery sequence with each route, the sequence is incorporated into the Master Address Database. Thus, by embedding the address code (SID) directly from the Master Address database, into the sending customers address, it may be possible to sort the documents to be mailed prior to printing in the sequence required for delivery. Consequently, it may no longer be necessary to incur the expensive, and capital intensive process of using optical scanners to read the printed address of the envelopes and sorting the letters. In the case of parcels, the Waybill may include a barcode with the Pointer (Address ID) and delivery sequence. Thus, the barcode and pointer may simplify the reading of the address and sorting to the parcels.
Finally, since the each SID or Pointer is geo-referenced, it may facilitate the implementation of the latest localized technology even in countries that lack updated and structured addresses.
The techniques for synchronized address identification coding and print sequencing provide unique way in which the property is addressed and a unique method by which this addressing component is stored in a Master Address Database and is linked with a sequenced delivery file to enable automatic sequencing at the time of printing the address or the parcel waybill. The full benefit of this development may be attained in places that lack a formal addressing system, through the introduction of a new addressing system designed for the digital age and capable of taking full advantage of existing technology.
Turning to FIG. 2 , there is depicted a flow chart of a method 200 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. Method 200 may begin at step 200.
At step 204, a geo-spatial map database representing buildings and houses in the target area may be built. The base data for this step (e.g., polygons or points) may be either acquired or created by field visits. This data forms the database address objects. Information assigned to each address object may include (where available) traditional address elements such as a building's name, building's number, a sub address descriptor, business name, owner, street name and type, district or region.
At step 206, a SID allocation GRID (e.g., a geometric grid series, using, for example and without limitation, cells of 100 meters by 100 meters to cover the target area) may be generated. In that example, the extent of each grid series can be 62.5 kilometers on the X-axis and 99.9 kilometers on the Y-axis. More than one grid series may be required covering a target area.
An SID Allocation Grid Series for Panama District, Panama is depicted in FIG. 3 .
Returning to FIG. 2 , at step 208, grid allocation series and cells may be numbered. Each grid series may be numbered using a numeric field, for example and without limitation, two digits (NN). Grids may be aligned in such a way to cover an entire city, district, state or province, depending upon the political division and extension of each individual country. The cells within each grid series may also be numbered. For example, in some embodiments, numbering may start at the bottom left-most cell (the origin) and may use the following structure:
Two Alpha characters starting AA may be used to reference cells along the x axis;
Three numbers (NNN), stating at 000, may be used to reference cells along the y axis.
At step 210, the SID may be calculated based on the position of the address object within the SID allocation cell. The SID can then be applied geographically to one or more address objects as defined by its position within the grid:
Since each building may have a corresponding polygon as the address object, a point object may be created within the polygon for addressing purposes. This object can be the centroid of the polygon or at a position to represent a feature such as a main access way. Thus, the cell containing the centroid or desired building point, may become the building SID.
In the present example to identify the address cell, the remaining two characters of the SID (following the cell reference) may be allocated based on the position of the address cell within the 100 m by 100 m grid cell. Again, the character allocation may be based, for example, on the linear distance of the cell from the origin of the grid cell West to East and South to North.
In this detailed allocation, a discrete and fixed progression, such as, for example, one having 4 meter on the x axis and 4 meter progressions on the y axis, may be used. Thus, each of the subsequent increments of 4.0 m, along either axis may be assigned a letter sequentially from A to Y.
The use of the address of an small area to locate an object address, such as, for example and without limitation, 4 m×4 m, instead of a specific coordinate, may facilitate creation of a code small enough to allow its memorization by residents (e.g., a total of seven digits instead of sixteen).
In this embodiment, the “z” character is retired unless needed to resolve conflict. Where there is a conflict the z character may be used (e.g., if there are two buildings completely contained in the same 4 meter square, a z character may be assigned to one of them).
A grid with 100 meter allocation cells and SID components is depicted in FIG. 4 .
For each address object, any sub dwelling or apartment information within the building may also be provided with a unique reference, called the SID Suffix. To provide context, the floor and apartment numbers may also be used.

Returning to FIG. 2 , at step 212, collections of address objects may be grouped to create delivery rounds. Target area address objects may be divided up into manageable blocks called delivery rounds (the size may be dependent on the density of the dwellings and the mode of transport for mail delivery purposes).
In some embodiments, each address object may be assigned a 3 character round descriptor (aaa).
At step 214, a delivery round sequence value may be applied to one or more address objects. Taking into account the road and transportation requirements, one or more address objects within a round may then be assigned a sequence number (e.g., the order in which delivery would occur). According to some embodiments, the sequence number may be a 3 number (nnn) field, which may facilitate any required insertions at the time of delivery increments in steps of 10. However, it must be noted that an advantage of a pointer based centralized addressing system is that any information associated to an SID or Pointer can be updated overnight or over a holiday. The end user only need to store in their systems the POINTER, all other associated information may be accessed from the Master Address Database as needed to display or print (e.g., in real time).
At step 216, the format of the dwelling reference may be assigned to one or more of the sub-dwellings within a property. Sub-dwellings within a single property may have the same SID, thus the suffix described in step 210 above may be sorted (e.g., based on floor level and location of the sub-dwelling within the floor), to facilitate an efficient delivery with buildings. This is more relevant when considering the absence of mailboxes in some buildings. One or more referential attributes of the building may be associated to the sub-dwellings.
At step 218, the SID and sub-dwelling reference may be applied to one or more records of the mailing database. One or more buildings and SID/Pointers may be created based on a geographic location. A SID may also be associated to one or more portions of existing address information such as building name or number, street names(s), commercial establishments and inventory of units and respective level in the case of buildings. Delivery route and sequence files may be created and associated to one or more SIDs.
At step 220, a print index file may be generated by linking the mailing database and sequence file by SID and sub-dwelling. To facilitate the integration and widespread use of the SID/Pointer, search maps may be created for the general population and to allow address searches from within other applications (e.g., business and government applications). The search may be done based on any known address information including building name and commercial establishments within building. Predictive text and maps may allow the precise identification of the desired location. Once a location is approved the Address ID may be passed to the requesting Customer Database. The sequence index file may be generated for each SID and supplied as the print order so that the mail may be sorted, prior to printing in the exact sequence needed for delivery. This process may reduce the need for expensive sorting equipment used in traditional postal services based on a descriptive address (Street number and name) In the case of Parcels, the Waybill may include a barcode with the Pointer and delivery sequence obtained from the Master Address Database), thus simplifying the reading of the address and sorting to the parcels
At step 222, the mailing database may be ordered based on the indexed sequence and print mail may be generated. This may incorporate address and delivery sequence into deliveries of documents or Parcels. The relevant destination SID (e.g., the “send to” SID) may be matched against an address record in the Master Address Database. The descriptive address and the delivery sequence may be attached to the send to SID. The address label or waybill is printed incorporating the SID/POINTER, descriptive address and delivery sequence. Physical mail may be printed in the order dictated. Mail is provided for delivery in this order, thus reducing the need for expensive optical character readers/sorters that postal services around the world depend on.
At step 224, mail may be delivered.

Synchronized Address Code:
The SID/POINTER is an efficient and well-structured address code that can be easily digitalized and may not require the existence of government assigned street numbers and/or names.
The Pointer is based on coordinates and may be calculated on a GPS based phone or hand held unit using, for example, a provided algorithm and data.
A Master Address Database may provide a normalized and updated descriptive address each time.
Provides businesses with knowledge of customers' locations, especially in countries that lack a structured addressing system.
Reduces addressing errors associated with incomplete or misspelled descriptive addresses.
Allows for the creation of an alternative address scheme capable of working in tandem with imperfect and incomplete traditional descriptive address schemes.
Provides a private sector solution to addresses long neglected addressing systems by governments around the world.
Simplifies the implementation and upgrading of government dependent descriptive addressing systems
Makes possible the implementation of a location based secure digital mail (SID could be used to drive physical deliveries as well as a secure digital address such as SID@Sincronizate.net), thus simplifying the use integration of multiple channels of communications
Synchronized Address Code with Print Sequence:
Allows for the incorporation of a print sequence to an address for consolidated letter delivery.
Eliminates the need for expensive optical character reader and sorting equipment.
Streamlines and reduces the cost of consolidating mail for delivery.
At this point it should be noted that techniques for synchronized address coding and print sequencing in accordance with the present disclosure as described above may involve the processing of input data and the generation of output data to some extent.
