Definitions
- the object of the invention is to free mail senders from the trouble of looking for, memorizing, and writing the zip code and address of the addressee, thus avoiding any possible mistakes to be made in such work.
- the new method can be used to trace an addresse to his new address and reduce the number of "undeliverable" mails.
- Another object of the invention is to keep the address of the addressee secret, as people may not want their addresses to be made public, and, at the same time, to make the postman's distribution work much easier while difficulties caused by misprint, unclear writing, and mistaken omissions in addresses can be substantially avoided, so as to provide a short-cut for mail delivery and ensure correctness in address identification.
- the new method according to the invention includes measures to encode the telephone numbers and detailed addresses of all civil and private organizations as well as private homes (such information is obtainable from application papers for telephone installation) and store this information into the main memory in the computer center at the post office to establish a file; the post office should make available standard envelopes and cards, which are suitable for the post office computer to read in and distribute then for mail senders' use.
- the only thing left for the mail sender to do is to mark out at particular positions on the standard envelopes and/or cards certain signs representing the telephone number of the addressee.
- post office workers After all mails are collected into the post office, post office workers will respectively put the letters and cards to be dilivered locally into the computer to read out the telephone numbers marked thereon, with these telephone numbers, the corresponding postal address codes stored in the file are called out from the memory apparatus and printed at the designated locations on envelopes or cards.
- the sorting and distribution apparatus will receive control instructions from the computer and direct the envelopes and cards to respective mail collecting devices for different postal delivery zones; the postmen concerned can just pick up the already sorted mails and rapidly deliver them to various local addressees.
- the first preparation to be made by the post office is to compile postal address codes for computer use.
- information obtained from local telephone directories or application documents for telephone installation can be utilized and put together with relative zip codes suitalbe to the responsible area under the care of the concerned post office.
- the postal address code for "7 Lane l0. Hsin-Chung Street, Sung-Shan, Taipei" is "l0595ALl0,7". From the zip code directory we find both Hsin-Chung Street and San-Min Street have the same zip code l0595 and Hsin-Chung Street comes first in the list; therefore, the alphabet "A” is placed after the zip code. As to "Lane l0", it is indicated by Ll0.
- the postal address code is derived from simplification of the address itself and used to facilitate computer storage and out-put for postmen to identify; thus the compilation of it must be simple and explicit in nature. Information needed for this purpose can, of course, be obtained from the word table however, it is preferred to let the local postmen select what is easier to remember for themselves and customarily used by local residents. It is said that the U.S. Postal Service has been trying to use 8-digit zip code numbers; such practice will certainly facilitate more simplication of postal address codes.
- envelopes and cards are mediums for photoelectric readers, sizes and formats of such envelopes and cards should be determined with consideration of requirements for photoelectric readers.
- mail senders are requested to write Arabic numerials in a particular type at the particular location designated on the envelope or card; or a blank form can be printed on the edge of an envelope or a card for the mail sender to mark out to indicate figures.
- the last preparatory work for rapid distribution of mails is to establish at the computer center, a data file of the telephone numbers and corresponding postal address codes or detailed addresses.
- the sorting and distribution device 5 of the computer will sort the mails (envelopes, post cards, and postal parcel cards) and distribute them to various collecting devices for respective areas of different zip codes. At this point, the entire operation of rapid distribution of mails is completed.
- the postmen responsible for different postal delivery zones after being relieved from the hard and time-consuming sorting and distribution work formerly done by themselves and refreshed from a good rest, can now go to the collecting device 6 to pick up the mails to be delivered in their respective delivery zones and deliver the mails to addressees represented by various postal address codes.
