POSTAL SORTING METHOD WITH USER PROCESSING INFORMATION BEING RECOVERED BETWEEN SORTING PASSES

摘要

A postal sorting method in which mailpieces are subjected to at least two sorting passes in a machine so as to be sequenced in sorting outlets of the machine, and user processing information (PF) is available in the machine during a first sorting pass in relation to at least a certain mailpiece, is characterized in that it includes a step consisting, in a memory, in associating said user processing information with a graphical signature of the mailpiece that is representative of an image of the mailpiece, and in recovering (32, 33), during the second machine sorting pass of said certain mailpiece, said user processing information that is associated with it on the basis of matching of graphical signatures using a certain resemblance criterion.
