Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02052489A1] The invention relates to a method and device for reading postal codes of addresses on postal articles, in which the postal code (300) designates the address up to the portion of a major street or of a number of minor streets. When addresses could not be clearly read during a first reading attempt (310) in the OCR unit (130), the postal code is first of all divided into a part that roughly depicts the address and into a part that depicts the address more precisely. The corresponding liknesses of the postal article surfaces to these addresses are then transmitted to the video coding stations (200) where only the parts of the postal codes (300) that roughly depict the addresses are video-coded (320) by operators provided therefor and are transmitted to additional video coding stations (200) where the remaining postal codes (300) that depict the addresses more precisely are asynchronously video-coded (330) by operators provided therefor. Afterwards, the buffered, video-coded postal code parts, which respectively pertain to a particular postal article, are combined (340) to form a complete, video-coded postal code.
