[0029] Example 1

[0030] Figure 1 A flowchart of a mail sorting method is provided for a first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to mail sorting for duplicate mail addresses in the mail sorting field. By re-identifying each duplicate address with a unique address keyword, and upon detecting that a duplicate address exists at the mail destination of a target mail, the mail sorting scheme for the target mail is determined using the address keyword corresponding to the mail address of the target mail, and the target mail is accurately sorted based on the determined mail sorting scheme. The method can be executed by a mail sorting device, which can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software, and can be configured in a computing device capable of executing the mail sorting method.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0032] S110. When it is detected that the target mail is on board, the corresponding address keyword is extracted from the label information of the target mail.

[0033] The target mailpiece refers to the express mailpiece currently in the sorting machine's processing area. The delivery note information refers to the mailpiece-related information on the target mailpiece. For example, the delivery note information includes recipient information, sender information, and basic mailpiece information.

[0034] Specifically, in an automated sorting system, by identifying the delivery note information of a target mail, the address keyword of the target mail can be determined, and then the target mail can be accurately sorted according to the address keyword.

[0035] Optionally, when it is detected that the target mail is on the machine, before extracting the corresponding address keyword from the mail label information of the target mail, it also includes: obtaining an email address data set; performing a duplication check on the address names of all email addresses in the email address data set to identify whether there is at least one group of duplicate email addresses; if at least one group of duplicate email addresses is identified, renaming each duplicate email address to be processed in each group to obtain a corresponding address keyword, so as to update the email address data set based on the renamed email address keyword.

[0036] The email address dataset includes at least one email address. Each set of duplicate email addresses includes at least two identical email address names. The email address dataset can be detailed addresses across the country obtained from a nationally authorized department, or can be obtained by compiling and aggregating the receiving and sending addresses of historical mail from a sorting organization. In this technical solution, the acquisition of the email address dataset complies with relevant national laws and regulations.

[0037] It is understandable that due to the wide range of regions across China, duplicate address names may exist during the actual mail sorting process. For example, if Mail Address 1 is "A City, A County, A Village" and Mail Address 2 is "A City, B County, A Village," then Mail Address 1 and Mail Address 2 have the same village-level address. In real life, the mail address a sender fills in when sending a mail may not be complete. For example, if the sender fills in the mail address as "A City, A Village," it will be difficult to accurately identify the destination of the mail during the mail delivery process, resulting in mail delivery errors.

[0038] Based on this, in order to ensure that emails with duplicate address names are accurately sorted during the mail sorting process, this technical solution pre-configures address keywords corresponding to each email address to distinguish emails with duplicate names based on the redefined address keywords, thereby ensuring the accuracy of mail delivery.

[0039] Specifically, after obtaining the email address data set, a duplication check is performed on multiple email addresses in the email address data set to identify whether there is at least one set of duplicate email addresses.

[0040] If so, each to-be-processed duplicate email address in each group is renamed to obtain a corresponding address keyword, so as to update the email address dataset based on the renamed email address keyword, including.

[0041] Specifically, for each group of renamed email addresses, unique identification processing is performed on the address names of at least two identical email addresses in the current group of renamed addresses to obtain address keywords; based on the address keyword results of each group of renamed email addresses, the email address dataset is updated.

[0042] Based on the above example, after performing a duplication check on the email address dataset, we found that the duplicate email addresses to be processed are: Email Address 1: "A City, A County, A Village" and Email Address 2: "A City, B County, A Village". To distinguish Email Address 1 from Email Address 2, we uniquely identify each of them and obtain address keywords. The address keyword corresponding to Email Address 1 is "A City, A1 Village", and the address keyword corresponding to Email Address 2 is "A City, A2 Village". In the email dataset, "A City, A County, A Village" is replaced with "A City, A1 Village", and "A City, B County, A Village" is replaced with "A City, A2 Village".

[0043] It is understandable that the address keywords in the example are only used for illustration. In actual applications, address keywords can also be expressed in other forms, for example, a keyword representing an email address in coded form, or replacing the address name of the email address in the email address dataset with any other uniquely identifying information as the address keyword.

[0044] Optionally, when detecting that the target mail is on board, before extracting the corresponding address keyword from the mail order information of the target mail, it also includes: pre-configuring at least one coverage area corresponding to the sorting center to be used, and determining the regional attributes corresponding to each coverage area, so as to determine the regional attributes of the mail destination according to the coverage area corresponding to the mail destination of the target mail.

[0045] Among them, the sorting center to be used is a self-operated sorting center or a third-party sorting center.

[0046] For example, all areas are divided into area 1, area 2, area 3 and area 4, and the sorting centers to be used include the self-operated sorting center and third-party sorting center A and third-party sorting center B. According to the pre-defined mapping relationship between the sorting centers and the areas, it can be known that the coverage areas of the self-operated sorting center are areas 1 and 2, the coverage area of ​​the third-party sorting center A is area 3, and the coverage area of ​​the third-party sorting center B is area 4. The regional attributes corresponding to each area can be defined based on whether the sorting center corresponding to each area is a self-operated sorting center, that is, the regional attribute corresponding to the area covered by the self-operated sorting center is the same-point same-assignment attribute, and the regional attribute corresponding to the coverage area of ​​the third-party sorting center is the same-point different-assignment attribute. When the regional attribute is the same-point same-assignment attribute, it means that the self-operated sorting center will perform sorting in the area during sorting. When the regional attribute is the same-point different-assignment attribute, it means that the third-party sorting center will perform sorting in the area during sorting.

[0047] S120: Determine the mail destination of the target mail according to the address keyword, and determine the mail drop plan of the target mail according to the regional attribute corresponding to the mail destination.

[0048] The regional attributes include the same-score same-assignment attribute or the same-score different-assignment attribute, and the mail slot plan includes the logical slot plan and the physical slot plan corresponding to the target mail.

[0049] Based on the above example, the regional attribute of the coverage area of ​​the self-operated sorting center is defined as the same-point same-assignment attribute, and the regional attribute of the coverage area of ​​the third-party sorting center is defined as the same-point different-assignment attribute.

[0050] For example, during the sorting process, mail A is sorted by the self-operated sorting center starting from area 1. When passing through area 2, the area attribute corresponding to area 2 is the same-class, same-assignment attribute. Therefore, mail A will continue to be sorted by the self-operated sorting center when sorting in area 2. Furthermore, when mail A continues to be sorted from area 2 and passes through area 3, because the area attribute corresponding to area 3 is the same-class, different-assignment attribute, and the sorting center corresponding to area 3 is third-party sorting center A, mail A will be sorted by third-party sorting center A when passing through area 3. Furthermore, when mail A continues to be sorted from area 3 and passes through area 4, because the area attribute corresponding to area 4 is the same-class, different-assignment attribute, and the sorting center corresponding to area 4 is third-party sorting center B, mail A will be sorted by third-party sorting center B when passing through area 4, until mail A is delivered to its destination.

[0051] On this basis, given the origin and destination of the mail, as well as the areas passed between the origin and destination, the mail's sorting information is determined based on the regional attributes of each area passed through and the sorting center corresponding to the corresponding area, and then the corresponding mail drop plan can be configured.

[0052] S130: Determine the target sorting center for the next sorting node of the target mail according to the mail drop plan, and send mail sorting information of the target mail to the target sorting center.

[0053] The target sorting center is a self-operated sorting center or a third-party sorting center. The mail sorting information at least includes the address keyword of the target mail and the target logical slot or target physical slot information of the target mail in the target sorting center.

[0054] In the actual mail sorting process, the next sorting node after the current sorting node may be the mail sorting center to which the current sorting node belongs, or it may be a third-party sorting center. For example, if the current sorting node is sorting center A, the next sorting node may be sorting center B. The next sorting node can be determined based on the location of the final destination of the mail.

[0055] Specifically, if sorting center A and sorting center B belong to the same mail sorting organization, that is, the sorting method corresponding to the target mail is same sorting and same distribution; if sorting center A and sorting center B correspond to different sorting organizations, then the sorting method corresponding to the target mail is same sorting and different distribution.

[0056] For example, mail sorting mechanism A includes sorting center 1, sorting center 2, and sorting center 3, and mail sorting mechanism B includes sorting center 4 and sorting center 5. The areas corresponding to mail sorting mechanism A include sorting area 1 and sorting area 2, and mail sorting mechanism B includes sorting area 3 and sorting area 4. During the transmission process, the target mail passes through sorting area 1, sorting area 2, and sorting area 3. When the target mail is transmitted from sorting area 1 to sorting area 2, the corresponding sorting method for the target mail is same sorting and same distribution. When the target mail is transmitted from sorting area 2 to sorting area 3, the corresponding sorting method for the target mail is same sorting and different distribution. To promote collaborative sorting between sorting centers, after determining the target sorting center for the next sorting node of the target mail according to the mail drop plan, the mail sorting information can be sent to the target sorting center, so that the target sorting center can sort the target mail until the target mail reaches the mail destination.

[0057] Optionally, a mail sorting trajectory may be generated based on the mail sorting information, and the mail sorting information and the mail sorting trajectory may be transmitted together to a target sorting center.

[0058] The advantage of this setting is that the mail sorting information of the target mail is sent to the target sorting center, realizing the sharing of mail sorting information among various sorting agencies in mixed sorting, as well as the real-time sharing and penetrating visibility of mail among the sorting nodes in the entire link.

[0059] The technical solution of an embodiment of the present invention is to extract the corresponding address keyword from the target mail's label information when detecting that the target mail has been loaded onto the machine; determine the mail destination of the target mail based on the address keyword, and determine the mail drop plan for the target mail based on the regional attributes corresponding to the mail destination; wherein the regional attributes include the same-category same-matching attribute or the same-category different-matching attribute, and the mail drop plan includes the logical slot plan and the physical slot plan corresponding to the target mail; determine the target sorting center of the next sorting node for the target mail based on the mail drop plan, and send the mail sorting information of the target mail to the target sorting center. In this technical solution, by performing a duplication check on the mail addresses in a pre-acquired mail address dataset, it is possible to determine whether there are duplicate mail addresses in the mail address dataset. If so, the duplicate mail addresses are pre-named to obtain the address keywords corresponding to each mail address, and use the address keywords as unique identification information for the corresponding duplicate addresses. When the mail needs to be sorted, the mail destination of the mail can be accurately located based on the mail address keywords, thereby accurately sorting the mail and reducing the probability of mail sorting errors. The invention solves the problem in the prior art that when there are duplicate address names in the mail addresses, mail sorting errors may occur, which leads to the inability to accurately sort the mails, and achieves the effect of quickly and accurately sorting the mails.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a mail sorting method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, the mail destination of the target mail is determined according to the address keyword, and the mail drop plan of the target mail is determined according to the regional attribute corresponding to the mail destination.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0063] S210: When it is detected that the target mail is on board, the corresponding address keyword is extracted from the label information of the target mail.

[0064] S220: Retrieve the logical format scheme corresponding to the target email according to the address keyword.

[0065] S230: Determine the physical slot scheme corresponding to the target mail according to the logical slot scheme of the target mail and the preset slot mapping relationship.

[0066] The cell mapping relationship is a mapping relationship from a logical cell to a physical cell, and the physical cell solution includes at least one target physical cell.

[0067] For example, if the address keyword associated with a mail item is pre-set as "A City A1 Village," the corresponding logical slot is logical slot 1, and the physical slots corresponding to logical slot 1 are physical slots 1-10. Taking the target mail item as an example, the address keyword is obtained from the shipping label information of the target mail item. If the address keyword is "A City A1 Village," the logical slot scheme for the target mail item is determined to be logical slot 1, and the corresponding physical slot scheme for the target mail item is physical slots 1-10.

[0068] Optionally, before determining the physical slot scheme corresponding to the target mail according to the logical slot scheme of the target mail and the preset slot mapping relationship, the method further includes: obtaining the current slot status of the target physical slot specified in the physical slot scheme in real time or at a fixed time.

[0069] Among them, the current slot status is busy or idle; if the current slot status is busy, the mail associated with the target physical slot will be automatically adjusted to other idle physical slots under the same logical slot according to the address keyword of the mail, and the physical slot plan corresponding to the corresponding mail will be updated.

[0070] Optionally, before determining the physical slot scheme corresponding to the target mail based on the logical slot scheme of the target mail and the preset slot mapping relationship, it also includes: obtaining the mail sorting volume of each physical slot in the historical unit time in real time or at a fixed time, and dynamically adjusting the slot mapping relationship between each logical slot and each physical slot according to the mail sorting volume; based on the adjusted slot mapping relationship, regenerating the physical slot scheme corresponding to each mail for each address keyword.

[0071] Exemplarily, a logical slot 1 in a logical slot scheme corresponding to mail associated with a certain address is pre-configured, and the physical slots 1-10 corresponding to the logical slot 1 are obtained in real time or periodically. The mail sorting volume of each physical slot in a historical unit time (such as within a historical month) is obtained. If the mail sorting volume in the most recent historical month is small, for example, the total amount of historical sorted mail in each physical slot is counted. If the total amount of historical sorted mail is less than the preset mail sorting volume (such as 70%), the slot mapping relationship between each logical slot and each physical slot is dynamically adjusted according to the actual mail sorting volume of physical slots 1-10, for example, the logical slot 1 is adjusted to correspond to the physical slots 1-7, and a pre-configured physical slot scheme is re-generated for each mail according to the adjusted slot mapping relationship.

[0072] The advantage of this setting is that in the field of mail sorting, the mail business volume in the same area fluctuates greatly due to seasonality or e-commerce promotions. By obtaining the grid status of the target physical grid in real time, the mail to be delivered can be accurately sorted. At the same time, dynamic resource optimization of the physical grids in each area can be achieved, thereby improving the global resource utilization rate in the mail sorting process.

[0073] S240: Determine the target sorting center for the next sorting node of the target mail according to the mail drop plan, and send mail sorting information of the target mail to the target sorting center.

[0074] The technical solution of an embodiment of the present invention is to extract the corresponding address keyword from the target mail's label information when detecting that the target mail has been loaded onto the machine; determine the mail destination of the target mail based on the address keyword, and determine the mail drop plan for the target mail based on the regional attributes corresponding to the mail destination; wherein the regional attributes include the same-category same-matching attribute or the same-category different-matching attribute, and the mail drop plan includes the logical slot plan and the physical slot plan corresponding to the target mail; determine the target sorting center of the next sorting node for the target mail based on the mail drop plan, and send the mail sorting information of the target mail to the target sorting center. In this technical solution, by performing a duplication check on the mail addresses in a pre-acquired mail address dataset, it is possible to determine whether there are duplicate mail addresses in the mail address dataset. If so, the duplicate mail addresses are pre-named to obtain the address keywords corresponding to each mail address, and use the address keywords as unique identification information for the corresponding duplicate addresses. When the mail needs to be sorted, the mail destination of the mail can be accurately located based on the mail address keywords, thereby accurately sorting the mail and reducing the probability of mail sorting errors. The invention solves the problem in the prior art that when there are duplicate address names in the mail addresses, mail sorting errors may occur, which leads to the inability to accurately sort the mails, and achieves the effect of quickly and accurately sorting the mails.
