Abstract (en)
[origin: US5828322A] Printed matter is distributed between a source location and a plurality of geographically separate target locations by providing at each of the target locations a location transmitter capable of emitting a unique identifying code and packing at the source location individual orders of the printed matter for the target locations into respective containers and providing each of the containers with a container transmitter capable of generating a unique identifying code. The packed containers for a plurality of the target locations are loaded onto a truck and the codes of the containers being loaded are recorded in a respective portable device on each truck along with the respective target locations. The device continuously electronically determines the position of the truck and guides the loaded truck along a route past the respective plurality of target locations in accordance with the electronically determined truck position, typically by providing optical or audible instructions for the driver. When the truck reaches each target location the respective target-location transmitter is read and an acoustic or optical output is generated by the device indicating which of the containers is to be unloaded thereat. Then at each target location any container whose code is associated with the respective target location is unloaded.
