Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of tracking shipments operated by carriers and distributors of shipments.
- the present invention relates more particularly to a method for tracking items, of the letter or package type, sent by at least one user to an address of at least one recipient, said method comprising a step of printing a code -bars on each of the consignments intended to be tracked.
- the prior art also knows the international patent application WO 96/13803 which relates to a method of marking mail by bar codes of which each bar code has at least four parts. Two different parts indicate the beginning and the end of the code. A content indicator, which follows the start bars, indicates the structure and length of the next data field so that when the code is read, it is read correctly.
- the data field can contain a postal code, with or without address marker, customer information, ...
- bar codes are also known in the field of shipping and transport to identify a shipment. This technique is based on assigning a barcode to a shipment and a association of the barcode with the sending, thanks to a database; reading the barcode in different places as the delivery progresses, allowing you to follow the delivery route. Part of the information relating to the routing of the shipment is made available to the user in a database which he can consult.
- the peculiarity of the present invention lies in the structure of the barcode used in the method of tracking the shipment.
- the basic element in the database is no longer the item, but the user; the item is identified only by its rank for this user (for example the fourth item by Mr. Y).
- an incrementation of the basic code of the user is made possible, for each new shipment operated by the latter, which results in a major modification of the storage sources used and of the computer processing operated to ensure a follow-up of each shipment, compared to what was done before.
- the present invention relates to a method according to claim 1.
- said barcode consists of at least one part of identification of the user of the item, which is invariable for each user, and of a part of identification of the rank of dispatch of said item, which is variable for each shipment.
- a registration is made in a database of the coordinates of the user and of said user identification part in a table of user data. It is also preferably carried out, prior to the dispatch of each shipment, a recording in a table of shipment data being followed by said part of identification of the shipment rank, as well as said part of identification of the user.
- Said —code -bars further comprises— preferably a variable service option control part.
- Said service option control part preferably makes it possible to order a shipment of an acknowledgment of receipt of the shipment.
- Said service option control part preferably makes it possible to order a shipment from an acknowledgment of shipment of the shipment.
- the dispatch of an acknowledgment of receipt and / or the dispatch of an acknowledgment of receipt is or are preferably carried out by the dispatch of at least one written message and / or by the dispatch of at least one electronic message on a reception means of the stationary or portable computer or portable telephone type connected to a telecommunications network.
- Said user identification part makes it possible to order a shipment of an acknowledgment of wrong recipient address.
- the user is preferably given the possibility of responding to said acknowledgment of incorrect address by providing a new recipient address.
- Said user identification part is recorded via a database server accessible to any authorized person.
- Said server preferably operates automatically the dispatch of said confirmation (s) of deposit, receipt or erroneous address.
- the process is preferably a reading of said bar code at least during the deposition of the transmission to a service routing e -when the release of the shipment TM au recipient.
- the present invention presents an important implementation variant when both the sender and the recipient are users of the item tracking method according to the invention.
- Said acknowledgment of receipt sent to the sending user preferably includes at least part of the contact details of the receiving user.
- Said recipient user is preferably informed of the receipt of said shipment in a mail delivery mailbox identified using an identification part of his own, by sending at least one electronic message on a means of receiving the desktop or laptop computer type or mobile phone connected to a telecommunications network.
- a statistical monitoring of the dispatch and / or receipt of items by at least one user is preferably carried out using said identification part.
- the present invention also relates to a device allowing the implementation of the method.
- the device preferably comprises at least one database, presenting at least one user data table, listing the bar codes of the users as well as their contact details and a data table of items being tracked, listing each shipment, by user-.
- the device also preferably includes a database server making it possible to record the coordinates of the users, to modify them, and to record the information relating to the reading of bar codes.
- the present invention also relates to a manual device for printing bar codes on items, of the letter or parcel type, sent by a user to an address of at least one recipient, said device comprising printing means. , remarkable in that said printing means decompose at least into an invariable printing part for said apparatus, for printing a user identification part, and a variable printing part , for the printing of an identification part of the dispatch rank of said consignment which is variable for each consignment.
- the apparatus preferably comprises means for automatically incrementing said dispatch rank by x unit (s), x being an integer preferably equal to 1.
- the apparatus also preferably includes a means of displaying the dispatch rank of said item in alphanumeric form.
- the database responsible for listing the consignments is much simpler, since the basic element is no longer the consignment, but the user.
- the present invention makes it possible to refrain from writing the contact details of the user on the consignment since the simple reading of the bar code using a suitable reader connected to the server of the management device and of tracking identifies the user.
- the structure of the barcode makes it possible to include options concerning the reception of an acknowledgment of deposit, of an acknowledgment of receipt, or even of an acknowledgment of wrong shipping address, on all means available, that is to say, by paper message distributed to the user's address, or by fax, telex, telegram, or even by electronic message to an electronic address on a fixed or portable computer or on a mobile phone, ... via a telecommunications network such as the Internet.

- Figure 1 illustrates a barcode according to the invention
- Figure 2 illustrates a block diagram of the shipment tracking method according to the invention
- Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of the manual apparatus for printing bar codes
- Figures 4 and 5 respectively illustrate a top view and a bottom view of the device of Figure 3;
- Figure 6 illustrates a block diagram of the shipment tracking device according to the invention.
- the method according to the invention is a method for tracking a plurality of items, of the letter or package type, sent by at least one user to an address of at least one recipient, said method comprising a printing step of '' a barcode (10) on each item intended to be tracked.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that said bar code (10) consists of at least one part (1) of identification of the user of the item, which is invariable for each user, and d a part (3) for identifying the dispatch rank of said item, which is variable for each item.
- the part (1) for identifying the user of the item is invariable in the sense that this part can only designate a single user, that referenced for this single part (1); This does not, of course, prevent a user from having several parts (1) of user identification, for example, for each of its internal services or each of its subsidiaries hosted at the same address. In this sense, the user identification part (1) constitutes a unique identifier.
- the user identification part (1) and the shipping rank identification part (3) therefore constitute two bar codes which are associated in order to facilitate the recording of information and in order to avoid any error or omission during entry.
- the bar code (10) traditionally has an initialization part informing of the start of the bar code and a termination part, informing of the end of the bar code.
- the shipping rank identification part (3) identifies the rank of the shipment compared to previous shipments. This part (3) for identifying the shipping rank is different for each shipment, at least over a specific period, since it can be imagined that the row rank of the shipments for a user is reset during an event. particular, such as the renewal of its subscription to the service or the start of the year.
- part (3) is made, not • l-5 ⁇ - not randomly, - but according to a determined order, recognized by the system making it possible to implement the method.
- a recording is made in a database
- the user identification part (1) is recorded via a database server (130) accessible to any authorized person. It is of course possible to make changes to the recorded information such as, for example, change of address, telephone number, e-mail address, ... 35
- a recording is made in a table of item data being tracked (120) of said part (3) identifying the shipping rank, as well as said user identification part (1). This recording is carried out by reading the entire bar code (10) using a bar code reader and through said server (130).
- a reading of said bar code (10) is carried out, and information relating to the date, time and place of said reading is recorded at least on said server (130), at least when the shipment is deposited with the routing service as well as when delivering the item to the recipient. It is of course possible to read the barcode throughout the shipment and to record the information relating to the date, time and place each time. .
- the recorded information then preferably also includes a manipulator code corresponding to an identifier of the person who made the entry.
- Said bar code (10) may also comprise a variable service option control part (2).
- a recording is made in a shipment data table before each shipment is sent. follow-up course (120) of said service option order part (2). This recording is also carried out by reading the entire bar code (10) using a bar code reader.
- the device for managing and monitoring shipments to which readers of bar codes which distinguishes the different parts (1, 2, 3) of the bar code (10) during reading.
- the service option control part (2) allows the user to choose to request a shipment 5 of an acknowledgment of receipt of the shipment and / or a shipment of an acknowledgment of shipment of sending. This choice is therefore materialized directly by means of the bar code (10) and the recording of this choice is validated directly by reading the bar code (10).
- the dispatch of this or these acknowledgments of receipt and / or dispatch is carried out by dispatch of at least one written message by letter, fax, telex, telegram, and / or by dispatch at least one electronic message on a computer type reception means,
- the user identification part (1) allows the sending of an acknowledgment of wrong address insofar as, if it is not possible to deliver the item to
- this dispatch is carried out by the dispatch of at least one written message by letter, fax, telex, telegram, and / or by the dispatch of at least one electronic message on a
- 25 means of reception of the stationary or portable computer or portable telephone type, via a telecommunications network such as the Internet.
- Said server (130) automatically operates the dispatch of said acknowledgment (s) of reception, dispatch or erroneous address. It is thus not
- the 0 information contained in the sending data table being tracked (120) on each shipment is immediately archived after recording the delivery of the shipment to the recipient. There is then release of the entry corresponding to the shipment which has just been put back in the data table of the shipments -err follow-up course.
- the recipient is also a user of the method according to the invention and uses an identification part (1) to 0 identify a means, such as a mailbox, in which he wishes the 'the items intended for it are deposited.
- This means is marked by printing a barcode consisting of part (1), 5 but comprising neither part (2) of service option control, nor part (3) of identification the dispatch rank of a shipment.
- This barcode was given to him when he registered for the service or he printed it himself, thanks to 0 the device (50) put in the correct position, or using, for example, a computer with an adequate computer program and connected to a printer.
- the distribution service can read this second barcode which will: improve the accuracy of the information sent to the sender in the acknowledgment of receipt of his shipment; to check that the names and surnames and barcode appearing on the recipient's mailbox are consistent (this requires that a portable terminal be used by each delivery service delivery man and be connected, for example by radio, GSM-SMS , GPRS), to the central database in order to obtain the first and last names and address corresponding to the barcode, or else the distribution service terminal has a copy of " la - ' as ⁇ " of data in its memory internal, which is made possible by the fact that it would only be a matter of storing a sorted extract of the central database relating only to the geographical sector or the distribution service having this terminal distributes mail, thus avoiding the complete storage of the user database; to verify the consistency between the recipient appearing on the tracked shipment and the names and surnames appearing on the recipient's
- the device (100) allowing the implementation of the method according to the invention, illustrated in FIG. 6, thus comprises at least one database, presenting at least one user data table (110), listing the bar codes of the users thus as their contact details and a table of sending data during monitoring (120), listing each shipment, by user.
- the coordinates are preferably entered using a computer linked to said device (100).
- Barcode entry (10) can be done with any properly formatted barcode reader, including portable readers for agents responsible for delivering shipments to recipients.
- barcodes of items intended for delivery to their recipients are entered in a distribution office, just before the agent responsible for actually delivering them takes them to deliver them and that only the bar codes of undelivered items are then entered by the agent upon his return to the distribution office. Barcode entries are then simplified.
- the recipient user when the recipient user makes use of his identification part (1), to identify a mailbox or any similar device in which he wishes to receive shipments intended for him, it is the reading of the part (1) of identification of the recipient and the comparison with the information attached thereto, which will generate the transmission of information relating to the reception of the shipment, first to the management system, then to the sender and / or the recipient.
- the barcode (10) can be printed by any type of printing device having a sufficient print quality.
- the module itself increments the shipping ranks of each shipment and saves the identification portion of the shipping rank (3), as well as the option order portion. service (2).
- the bar code (10) includes an identification part of the printing machine.
- a manual and mechanical device for printing bar codes (10) on items, of the letter or package type, sent by a user to an address of at least minus one recipient.
- Said apparatus (50) illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5, comprises printing means which decompose at least into a printing part (51), invariable for said apparatus (50), for printing a part of user identification (1), and of a variable printing part (53), for the printing of an identification part of the dispatch rank (3) of said shipment which is variable for each sending. 5
- This device thus allows anyone, and in particular individuals, to easily print a barcode (10) on their shipment and thus take advantage of the process according to the invention.
- the apparatus (50) includes means
- This device is in the form of an ink pad as it may be known for printing user address on mail.
- It includes a stamp capable of printing the barcode (10) after manual inking or
- the means for incrementing the rank of the item, as well as the means for printing the barcode are, mechanical or electronic. In a fully mechanical version, they can be made, for example
- the method 10 is based on an identification of the user and of the rank of the mail he sends, which allows, during computerized processing, uniquely identify all shipments in transit in the collection, routing and distribution network in a way
- the user of the mail tracking service (the sender of the mail) prints himself on the envelope (or the parcel) to send a code.
- the rank of the shipment that it sends in order to differentiate the different shipments that the same user is likely to send constituting part (3) of identification of the shipping rank.
- the present method of tracking shipments is based on the exploitation of a database ideally comprising 5 two main tables. However, depending on the specifics of the service that the distributor wishes to set up, other database structures can be implemented. The flexibility of the method described above, which uniquely identifies each fold 10 sent, allows many variations.
- the first table represents the table of users subscribed or registered for the mail tracking service. This table makes it possible to retrieve, by means of the unique user number, all the information on
- FAX sending of acknowledgments Sending of receipts by paper receipt sent by a distribution service.
- the second table represents the folds table during routing and tracking, it allows the information system to find the information on a fold in transit in order to update it, 5 until the final distribution, and to properly manage the dispatch of the various courts.
- the search for and access to information on a shipment in transit is done by means of a request combining the user number and the rank of the courier.
- This table also contains the following fields:
- This mail tracking service requires the user to have previously registered, in order to be assigned a unique user number, as well as an ink pad to be able to print the bar codes.
- the user goes to a shipping service counter and fills out a form with
- the counter then gives the new user a new ink pad, with a number
- the teller copies the unique user number on the form corresponding to the stamp he has just distributed to the new customer.
- 35 ink pad so allows to distinguish, for a user given, the different shipments he could make substantially at the same time.
- the routing service When the routing service has correctly located the recipient, it delivers the mail to it and the reception information is transmitted to the centralized databases used to implement the tracking process.
- the person in charge of mail delivery identifies the recipient by reading his barcode, before delivery of mail. It then receives confirmation or information that the delivery can be made.
- the recipient is then informed, if he has so desired, of the receipt of the mail, possibly with information about the sender, on the means of information he has chosen, and
- the sending user uses this service, even if he is not able to print bar codes himself, for example , because he does not have his handheld device with him, by simply going to a routing service counter and declining his identity.
- the teller can then print for him a barcode having, for example a rank equal to a hundredfold, or increased by a thousand, those recently used by the user or preceded by a letter such as "S" for "without ink pad”.
