Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 The check-in system according to the invention at, for example, an airport is shown roughly schematically. Bags 2, 3 and 4 are on conveyor belt 1. The check-in station 5 obtains information about the weight of the individual luggage 2, 3 or 4 from the weighing system 6 and generates an identification code, which is sent to the control computer 9 together with the respective acquired weight. The 3D sensor 7 determines the weight of each luggage 2, 3 or 4 geometries and provide the individual parameters to the control computer 9 as well. Furthermore, one or more cameras 8 generate images of each luggage 2 , 3 or 4 , which are also transmitted to the control computer 9 . It is also possible to use a camera which records the surface texture of the luggage, which texture is then evaluated in the control computer 9 .

[0030]Finally the control computer 9 determines from the transmitted data for each bag the material (from texture), geometry and shape solidity, st...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for identifying transport goods which are physically different from one another, particularly for identifying automatically sortable passenger luggage in air, rail or sea tourism, using electronically readable information associated with the transport good. To be able to automatically identify transport goods, particularly luggage items, even when information storage media fitted to them cannot be read or can be read only imperfectly, it is proposed that, before or when the transport good is surrendered to a transport and / or sorting system, special sensors be used to ascertain specific physical features of the respective transport good and that these specific physical features be stored in a database as an electronic feature data record (signature) together with an identification code associated with the transport good, the stored feature data records being compared with a subsequently produced feature data record for a transport good as required, in order to identify the transport good using its associated identification code when there is at least a sufficient match between the subsequently produced feature data record and one of the feature data records stored in the database.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for identifying physically distinguishable conveyed objects by means of electronically readable information corresponding to the conveyed objects, in particular for identifying automatically sortable passenger luggage in air, train or ship passenger traffic method. Background technique [0002] In the present invention, conveying articles can be understood as articles or articles themselves, and can also be understood as packages containing articles or containers containing articles. Such conveyed items are currently conveyed to the greatest extent automatically by the conveying device and sorted with respect to their destination, for which each conveyed item has an individual machine-readable information which makes it possible to identify the individual conveyed item inside the conveying device and is determined This creates a prerequisite, based on the data stored in the computer, to determine where the teleportati...
