Abstract (en)
Mail routing system comprising an input system (1), a postal transmission system (2) and an output system (3). Electronic replicas are made of the addressing information of the items of mail, which replicas are then converted into control codes which are used to drive routing elements (10). On the input side - at least in the case of items of mail for which the conversion into control codes is relatively time-consuming - only the most significant part of the control code, necessary for routing the items of mail to the correct output system, is generated. During transport, or upon arrival, the less significant part of the control code is then additionally generated. The conversion elements (8) form, by means of a network (12, 13), a conversion pool, as a result of which the conversion capacity can be spread optimally over the various input channels (a...n) and various input and output systems. An interpretation element (14) derives from the conversion results of the various conversion elements (8), by comparing and supplementing, the most likely control code. <IMAGE>
