Definitions

  • the invention relates more particularly to a method for processing letters and other flat postal items of small format that can be used in the French postal sorting system.
  • a postal address consists of a "routing" component indicating to which postal sorting center or post office must be sent the postal item (postal code, city, state, country %) and a “distribution” component indicating to which distribution point the postal item (postal box, track, company name, etc.) must be distributed.
  • OCR Optical Character Recognition
  • the mailing is printed with a distribution code, for example in the form of a barcode, corresponding to the distribution point of the mailing and a routing code corresponding to the point of delivery of the postal item (postal code) on the lower area of the front (area where is the address and stamp) of the mailing.
  • the postal item is printed with an identification code of the postal item, in the form also a bar code, better known as "Chronomarque” or "Id tag” for processing the mailing by video coding.
  • the current identification code is formed by a cyclic iterative part and a part identifying the machine that generated the identification code.
  • the identification codes currently used in postal mail processing processes are inherently limited in scope. In concrete terms, it is now possible to identify postal items in terms of treatment rejection by OCR over a period of five days of treatment. Today, there are additional requirements for the traceability of postal items beyond the sorting and distribution sorting processes. So far, only the sending rejects of the automatic recognition process by OCR carry a printed identification code allowing such traceability. Moreover, it is now desirable to be able to easily associate with each postal item a batch of postal items placed in a machine, information such as, for example, the postage value of the postal item which can be archived in a base. data to be retrieved on demand on the basis of an index consisting of an identification code affixed to the postal item and able to be read by machine. However, this extension of functionalities must be carried out without calling into question the existing installations of postal sorting machines.
  • Document is known WO 9749503 a method of processing postal items in which an automatic address recognition operation is performed by OCR. However, if the address information can not be automatically recognized by OCR, a print "conventionally" an identification code and a video encoding operation is performed.
  • the zone of the postal item on which the identification code is printed is a zone reserved for national treatment of the item, but if the item is a postal item sent to a foreign country, that is, a shipment that is to be distributed outside the national area, the identification code printed on the shipment to perform the video encoding operation must be masked by affixing a label which generates costs. in the processing of postal items.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method of processing postal items to avoid the printing of an identification code on the mail to foreign destinations.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose such a method for processing postal items which also makes it possible to carry out an individual identification of a large number of postal items by means of an identification code. extended spectrum but compatible with current postal processing machines.
  • the subject of the invention is a method for processing postal items in a postal processing machine, according to claim 1.
  • the printing of the identification code on the postal item is different as long as the address information is not completely recognized.
  • the figure 1 is a block diagram which illustrates the different steps of the method according to the invention.
  • the figure 2 is a block diagram which very schematically illustrates the generation of the extended identification code in the method according to the invention.
  • a digital image 4 is formed of the front of the mailpiece 1 where the address 5 of the mailing box 1 is located. and from this digital image 4, an automatic address recognition operation 6 is performed by OCR in order to automatically determine the routing component 7 of the address 5 which is generally the postal code.
  • the digital image 4 of the postal item 1 is derived from a digital print 9 characterizing the postal item 1.
  • L digital fingerprint 9 serves as an index in a database used by the video coding system and is for example an image signature as described in the document of FIG. FR-2841673 comprising a first component representative of a physical characteristic of the digital image and a second component extracted by OCR of the digital image.
  • the postal item 1 can be processed by another machine or recycled at the entrance of the machine 2 for a second passage 12 during which a digital image 4 is again formed of the front of the mailpiece 1 and new the digital image 4 a digital print 13 characterizing the mailing 1.
  • a digital print 13 of the mailpiece 1 14 of the database (memory) is retrieved the results of the coding operation video 10 recorded in the database and in particular the routing component 7.
  • this routing component corresponds to a mailing to abroad 16 and in this case no code is printed on the front side.
  • an international identification code may be printed on the back of the postal item 1.
  • an extended identification code is generated for sending the postal item and 19 is printed on the lower zone of the front of the box.
  • mailing 1 the extended identification code which will be seen later in the constitution with reference to the figure 2 .
  • the extended identification code may be used as an index to identify mailing item 1 in subsequent processing.
  • the registration of the extended identification code serving as an index in correspondence with information on the postal item 1 has been represented.
  • the processing method according to the invention makes it possible to delay the printing of an identification code on the postal item until the routing component for the mail item is determined, which allows to avoid the annoying impression of an identification code if the postal item is destined for abroad.
  • the figure 2 now illustrates the various constituent parts of the extended identification code 25 according to the invention.
  • the extended identification code 25 comprises a first coded portion 24 'derived from the number 24 of the machine 2 having generated the identification code 25 and a second part 23' derived from a number
  • the extended identification code comprises a third part 22 'which is here derived from the routing code 22 extracted by OCR or video coding of the component d. routing 21 of the address 5 of the consignment 1.
  • the cyclic iterative sequence number 23 from which the second part 23 'of the identification code 25 is derived is generated taking into account the routing code 22 as shown by the arrow between the routing code 22 and the sequence number 23 2.
  • Each routing code 22 is associated with a cyclic iterative sequence in the machine 2.
  • This additional part 22 ' makes it possible to achieve a relatively wide spectrum of identification of the postal items.
  • the third part 22 'of the identification code 25 is the postal code in the distribution address 5.
  • the parts 22 ', 23' and 24 ' are juxtaposed so that the extended identification code according to the invention remains compatible with existing sorting and distribution facilities.
