US Patent:

7962421, Jun 14, 2011

Filed:

Mar 25, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/311466

Inventors:

John F. Gullo - Alexandria VA, US
James D. Wilson - Collierville TN, US
Robert F. Snapp - Memphis TN, US
David J. Payne - Collierville TN, US

Assignee:

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00
G06Q 30/00
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

705338, 705 11, 705402, 705404

Abstract:

This invention provides methods, apparatus, and systems for classifying addresses. An address is evaluated based upon a postal code or standardized postal code, such as a U. S. Postal Service ZIP+4 code, serving the address. If the address cannot be classified based on the standardized postal code, the address is classified based on additional information, such as a U. S. Postal Service delivery point code. A mailer may then determine whether the address is a business or residential (or non-business) address. Furthermore, a mailer may predict when surcharges may apply and compare the rates of various carriers.

International Classification:

B07C 5/00

US Classification:

209584, 700223

Abstract:

Systems and methods using intelligent barcodes for processing mail, packages, or other items in transport are provided. Systems and methods allowing end-to-end visibility of a mail stream by uniquely identifying and tracking mail pieces are also provided. Systems and methods include the use of standardized intelligent barcodes on mail pieces, a seamless process for mail acceptance, continuous mail piece tracking, and feedback on mail quality in real time. In one embodiment, systems and methods using intelligent barcodes allow a mailing service to provide enhanced acceptance, sorting, tracking, address correction, forwarding, and delivery services. In another embodiment, systems and methods using intelligent barcodes allow a mailing service to identify a mail piece as undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) and determine a final disposition for the mail piece. In yet another embodiment, systems and methods using intelligent barcodes allow mailers more visibility into the mail stream and information on the quality of their mailings.
