First, as shown in FIG.
A large number of seals A2+, each having a label 24 with a barcode display 23 attached thereon, are set at a predetermined position in the enclosing and sealing device 1. In addition, the multiple subject frame of the answer sheet 25 in which the year, month, subject, and delivery number 40 were entered in the predetermined entry fields corresponding to the outline, the corresponding question paper (not shown), and the return address were displayed. A large number of return envelopes (not shown) arranged in J sets with the answer sheet 25 on top are set at a predetermined position in the enclosing and sealing device 1. Although the delivery number 40 is displayed as a consecutive number, the same number is assigned to the answer sheets 25 for multiple subjects in the l set. Then, when the enclosing and sealing device 1 is started, one set including the answer sheet 25 is inserted and sealed into one of the envelopes 21.

At the time of this enclosing and sealing, the delivery address display 22 of the envelope 21 is set to O.
The bar code display 23 is read by the CR reading device 2, and the bar code display 23 is read by the bar code reading device 3, and the read information is sent to the read information control device I5. On the other hand, regarding one set including the answer sheet 25, the delivery number 4 of the answer sheet 25 is
0 is read by the OCR reading device 4, and this reading information is also sent to the reading information control device t5. Then, the delivery destination display 22 and barcode display 23 of the envelope 21 read by the read information control device 5 and the delivery number 4 of the answer sheet 25 enclosed in the side M21
0 are associated with each other and sent to the CPU 6. The read information correlated with each other is read by the CPU 6.
stored in internal memory.

In this way, when the work of enclosing and sealing all sets of answer sheets 25 for all the set envelopes 21 is completed,
Along with this, the reading of the delivery destination display 22, barcode display 23, and delivery item number 40 displayed on all envelopes 2I and all answer sheets 25 has also been completed, and each of the read information is as described above. All are stored in the internal memory of the CPU 6 in association with each other. The delivery destination display 22 and barcode display 23 performed during the enclosing and sealing work
, the delivery number 40 is read without detecting matching at the time of reading, and after reading, mutual correspondence is performed, so that there is no interruption of the enclosing and sealing work due to a matching error.

Then, all the mutually correlated read information stored in the internal memory of the CPU 6 is recorded on the floppy disk 8 by the floppy drive device 7.

The recorded contents of the floppy disk 8 can be confirmed by being read by the host computer 15 and printed out as a delivery list 4I as shown in FIG. 4 by a printer (not shown) connected via the CPU 9.

As is clear here, in the delivery list 41, the barcode display 23 is output and printed as a number, and the address name and delivery number 40, which are the delivery destination display 22 associated with this, are respectively printed. It is located in the corresponding column and printed in one horizontal row. Note that it is also possible to display and confirm the same content on the display device 11.

On the other hand, the answer sheet 25 and the like sealed in the envelope 21 are mailed to the student corresponding to the delivery destination display 22. After the students who have received the answer sheets 25, etc. have completed their answers for all subjects, they will be mailed in advance to the ID sticker affixed 111135 and address label affixed 1% 139 of the answer sheets 25 for each subject as shown in Figure 3. ing! Attach a D sticker (not shown) and an address label (not shown), seal it in a return envelope (not shown), and send it back.

At the shipping source where the answer sheet 25 is received, the barcode displayed in 11) affixed to the answer sheet 25 is read with a barcode reading device, and if at least one barcode can be read from the answer sheets 25 for multiple subjects. For example, by comparing the read barcode display with the recorded contents of the floppy disk 8, it is possible to identify the delivery destination of the answer sheet 25, that is, the student. In addition, if none of the barcodes displayed on the affixed ID stickers can be read due to incorrect affixing positions, etc., the student can be identified by reading the delivery number 40 with an OCR reader, and the delivery destination can be determined. It can be confirmed.

Since the delivery number 40 is displayed in advance at the delivery source, it can be read accurately.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and for example, in addition to the floppy disk 8, a magnetic tape or an optical disk may be used as the recording means. Alternatively, the CPU 6 of the delivery item processing device and the host computer 15 may be connected online and the storage device 10 may be used as a recording means. Furthermore, although the delivery number 40 is a consecutive number, it does not need to be a consecutive number as long as it has a one-to-one correspondence with the barcode display 23. It may be a band-like member or a sheet-like attached member that is sent in an exposed state.In this case, the work of integrating it with the delivered item is the work of wrapping it around the delivered item if it is a band-like member, and the work of wrapping it around the delivered item is a work for a sheet-like attached member. This will be pasting work on the delivered item. Further, the device for reading the delivery destination display is not necessarily limited to one that reads it into character information using an OCR device, but may also use a device that stores it as image data, and furthermore, it is not necessarily necessary to provide this reading device. If this reading device is not provided, the address, name and delivery code, which are preliminary delivery destination indications, are stored in the storage device 10 of the host computer 15, and the delivery item and the delivery destination display member are integrated. At the time of delivery, the host computer 15 reads the delivery code and the delivery destination code, processes them in a corresponding manner, and outputs a list of the delivery address name, delivery destination code, delivery item code, etc. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the application of the present invention is not limited to communication tests.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, there is no need to attach the same code when integrating the delivery destination display member and the delivery item, and there is no need to attach the same code to the delivery destination display member and the delivery item. Since the work is not interrupted, the processing work can be carried out smoothly and efficiently.In addition, the delivery code displayed on the delivery item can be read and the corresponding recorded delivery destination can be read out. This not only makes it easier to create a delivery list, but if this reading/reading work is performed when the delivery is returned, the destination of the returned delivery can be confirmed, making it easier to manage the delivery. It has the effect of becoming
