Problems solved by technology

However, the expansion of performance must be provided without causing problems to the existing equipment of the mail sorting machine
[0007] In addition, the mail area where the ID code is printed is an area reserved for domestic processing of mail, but if the mail is mail with a foreign destination that is, the mail is to be distributed outside the domestic area, it is printed on the mail for video The ID code for the encoding operation must be masked by affixing a placard, which raises the additional cost of handling the mail

Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 Each step of the mail processing method of the present invention is shown diagrammatically.

[0028] During the first pass of the mail piece 1 through the 3 machine 2 for the processing of the mail piece for internal and external sorting purposes, a digital image 4 is formed on the front side of the mail piece 1 where the addressee address 5 is located, and is passed through OCR based on this digital image 4 An automatic address recognition operation 6 is performed to automatically determine the routing component 7 of the address 5, which is usually a zip code.

[0029] In the case 8 where no routing component 7 has been explicitly identified by OCR, a digital signature 9 characterizing the mail piece 1 is derived from the digital image 4 of the mail piece 1 . The digital imprint 9 acts as an index in the database used by the video coding system and is for example an image signature such as that described in the patent document FR-2841 673 and comprises a firs...

Abstract

The method involves recognizing address by optical character recognition (OCR) to determine address information of an item (1). A digital print is derived from a digital image of surface having the information, when the address is not recognized by OCR, to recognize address by video encoding. An identification code is printed on the item if the recognized information relates to information of item not to be sent to an abroad addressee. An independent claim is also included for a postal item processing machine.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of processing mail in a mail processing machine, the mail including "foreign destination" mail, and each mail having a surface comprising address information, the method consisting in: [0002] forming a digital image on the surface of the mailpiece containing address information; and [0003] Automatic address recognition operations are performed by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for the purpose of determining mail address information. [0004] The invention relates more particularly to a method of handling letters and other small format flat mail, adapted for use in the French postal sorting system. Background technique [0005] Postal addresses currently in France consist of an outer or "routing" component, which indicates to which postal sorting center or which post office (postal code or "postal area" the mail should be sent) and an inner or "distribution" component code, city, state, country, etc.)...
