Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium for mail analysis. A method includes receiving in a data processing system an image of a first mailpiece and associated machine-recognized data. The method includes comparing the machine-recognized data with a target list to determine a match with a target individual. The method includes performing a writer identification process on the image of the first mailpiece when a match is determined between the machine-recognized data and the target individual. The writer identification process produces writer identification data associated with the first mailpiece. The method includes storing the image of the first mailpiece and associated machine-recognized data and writer identification data.
Claims20
A method for mailpiece analysis, comprising:
- receiving in a data processing system an image of a first mailpiece and associated machine-recognized data of the first mailpiece;
- comparing the machine-recognized data of the first mailpiece, by the data processing system, with a target list to determine a match with a target individual;
- performing a writer identification process on the image of the first mailpiece when a match is determined between the machine-recognized data of the first mailpiece and the target individual, the writer identification process producing writer identification data associated with the first mailpiece;
- and
- storing the image of the first mailpiece and associated machine-recognized data and writer identification data by the data processing system.
A data processing system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory accessible by the processor, the data processing system particularly configured to
- receive an image of a first mailpiece and associated machine-recognized data of the first mailpiece;
- compare the machine-recognized data of the first mailpiece with a target list to determine a match with a target individual;
- perform a writer identification process on the image of the first mailpiece when a match is determined between the machine-recognized data of the first mailpiece and the target individual, the writer identification process producing writer identification data associated with the first mailpiece;
- and
- store the image of the first mailpiece and associated machine-recognized data, processing data, and writer identification data.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions stored thereon executable by one or more processors to:
- receive an image of a first mailpiece and associated machine-recognized data of the first mailpiece;
- compare the machine-recognized data of the first mailpiece with a target list to determine a match with a target individual;
- perform a writer identification process on the image of the first mailpiece when a match is determined between the machine-recognized data of the first mailpiece and the target individual, the writer identification process producing writer identification data associated with the first mailpiece;
- and
- store the image of the first mailpiece and associated machine-recognized data and writer identification data.
