Patent

CA 2385575

A mail sorter (22) includes an imaging device (60) to generate a plurality of images each corresponding to one of the plurality of mail pieces (36). The mail sorter (22) performs a character recognition routine on each of the images to sort a number of the mail pieces (36) and identify one of the mail pieces as being unsortable by the routine. An operator input processing subsystem (24) includes a number of stations (74). These stations (74) each include a display and a voice input device. The subsystem (24) responds to the mail sorter (22) to route the images to the stations (74). One of the stations (74) is operable to display one of the images on its corresponding display device and receive vocal input from an operator with its corresponding voice input device in response to viewing the image. The subsystem (24) executes a voice recognition routine to determine address information from the vocal input and provides this information to the mail sorter (22) to sort a corresponding one of the mail pieces (36). Image

L'invention concerne un trieur de courrier (22) comprenant un imageur (60) qui génère plusieurs images correspondant chacune à un parmi plusieurs courriers (36). Le trieur de courrier (22) selon l'invention exécute un programme de reconnaissance de caractères pour chacune de ces images afin de trier un certain nombre de courriers (36) et d'identifier les courriers non triables par le programme. Un sous-système de traitement d'entrée opérateur (24) comprend un certain nombre de stations (74) comportant chacune une unité d'affichage et une unité d'entrée vocale. Ce sous-système (24) fait suite au trieur de courrier (22) pour acheminer les images aux stations (74). L'une des stations (74) affiche l'une des images sur son unité d'affichage et reçoit l'entrée vocale d'un opérateur sur son unité d'entrée vocale suite à la visualisation de l'image. Le sous-système (24) exécute alors un programme de reconnaissance vocale afin de déterminer les informations d'adresse dans l'entrée vocale, puis fournit ces informations au trieur de courrier (22) afin que ce dernier trie l'un des courriers (36).
