Abstract: A CLUSTER STORE APPARATUS FOR POST PROCESSING ERROR CORRECTION OF A CHARACTER RECOGNITION MACHINE A cluster storage apparatus is disclosed for outputting groups of valid alpha words as potential candidates for the correct form of an alpha word misrecognized by a character recognition machine. Groups of alpha words are arranged in the cluster storage apparatus such that adjacent locations contain alpha words having similar character recognition misread propensities. Alpha words which have been determined to be misrecognized, are input to the cluster storage apparatus. Numerical values assigned to the characters of which the input word is composed, are used to calculate the address of that group of valid alpha words having similar character recognition misread propensities. The cluster storage apparatus then outputs the accessed groups of alpha words for subsequent processing. The organization of the cluster storage apparatus minimizes the difference in address between alpha words with similar character recognition misread propensities by assigning high numeric values to highly reliable characters, as determined by measuring the character transfer function of the character recognition machine.

Abstract: ALPHABETIC CHARACTER WORD UPPER/LOWER CASE PRINT CONVENTION APPARATUS AND METHOD The apparatus and method disclosed herein determines whether an alphabetic character field output from an optical character reader(OCR) is related to the OCR scan of an upper case or a lower case inscription on the document scanned. Each word output by the OCR corresponds to a field (i.e., word) of characters on the scanned document. The signals representative of the upper and lower case alphabetic characters and rejects including conflicts outputted from the OCR are applied to a character occurrence probability storage apparatus having precomputed empirical probabilities therein that: a given character recognition is the result of the scan of an upper or lower case character as the case may be. The storage apparatus includes probability values for character conflicts and rejects. As the series of signals from the OCR output are applied to the character occurrence probability storage apparatus, a running sum of the respective probabilities for the upper case and lower case print conventions is developed so that, following the input of the final character, reject or conflict within a word to the aforesaid apparatus, an appropriate upper or lower case determination can be made for all of the characters within the word. This determination corresponds with the print convention of the word inscribed on the scanned document. A corresponding upper or lower case flag is correspondingly generated with the print convention determination for further text processing.

Abstract: BINARY REFERENCE MATRIX FOR A CHARACTER RECOGNITION MACHINE A binary reference matrix apparatus is disclosed for verifying input alpha words from a character recognition machine as valid linguistic expressions. The organization of the binary reference matrix is based upon the character transfer function of the character recognition machine. The alphabetic character stream for each word scanned by the character recognition machine, is mapped into a vector representation through the assignment of a unique numeric value for each letter in the alphabet. The vector magnitude and angle so calculated constitute the address data for accessing the binary reference matrix. The point accessed in the matrix will have a binary value of 1 if the scanned word is valid and will have a binary value of 0 if the scanned word is invalid. The organization of the binary reference matrix minimizes the size of the array needed for accurate verification by choosing numerical values for the alphabetic characters in an inverse proportion to the characters read reliability in the character recognition machine, as determined by the empirical measurement of the character recognition machine, character transfer function.

Abstract: The invention is characterized as a data processing architecture and method for multi-stage processing of mail, using knowledge based techniques. The system includes OCR-scanning a multipart address field of a mail piece at a sending location, the address field including at least two portions, a first stage routing portion (destination city, state, country, zip code) and a second stage routing portion (destination street address, building floor, corporate addressee internal routing). At the sending location, the image of the entire address field is captured by an OCR head and stored in memory. A serial number is printed on the mail piece. The first routing portion is then converted into sorting signals to sort the mail piece to a truck at the sending location. While the mail piece is in transit on the truck, the knowledge processor completes its analysis and is able to transmit by electronic communications link to the destination location, the information that the mail piece is on its way and the second stage routing information needed to automatically sort and deliver the mail piece to its corporate addressee.

The system includes OCR-scanning a multipart address field of a mail piece at a sending location, the address field including at least two portions, a first stage routing portion (destination city, state, country, zip code) and a second stage routing portion (destination street address, building floor, corporate addressee internal routing). At the sending location, the image of the entire address field is captured by an OCR head and stored in memory. A serial number is printed on the mail piece. The first routing portion is then converted into sorting signals to sort the mail piece to a truck at the sending location which is to be dispatched to the city, state and country indicated in the first stage routing portion. Then, while the mail piece is in transit by truck to the destination city, the image of the second stage routing portion is analyzed by a knowledge base processor to resolve street addresses, building floor, corporate addressee internal routing information and addressee name. The deferred execution of the analysis by the knowledge base processor is available because of the sporadic volume of mail pieces submitted to the system. While the mail piece is in transit on the truck, the knowledge processor completes its analysis and is able to transmit by electronic communications link to the destination location, the information that the mail piece is on its way and the second stage routing information needed to automatically sort and deliver the mail piece to its corporate addressee. In addition, the knowledge base processor analyzes the aggregate volume of mail flowing through the postal system and transmits to each destination location, inventory and resource allocation information necessary to plan for the equipment and manpower needed in the following days to sort and deliver the mail at each destination location.
