Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for determining authorship of a handwritten document for which the authorship is not known. A method includes scanning a document to produce a high-quality scanned image of the document, and identifying stylus information corresponding to the document. The method includes identifying authorship information corresponding to the document, and determining an authorship of the document based on the stylus information and the authorship information. In some cases, content analysis of the document is also performed and used to determine authorship.

A method for checking an imprint reads an imprint, forms a data code from the imprint, and compares the data code with a predetermined number of check data codes of a stored data set. During a search for the data code in the data set, the method decides whether the data code is to be classified as acceptable or unacceptably faulty.

A system and method are set out for automating the sorting and loading of parcels into a delivery vehicle. While being conveyed from a customer, parcels to be delivered are scanned and information obtained therefrom. The information may be the parcel either or both the identification code and delivery address. The obtaining may be performed by a bar code reader, hand held or overhead, as well as a videocoding device. The parcel information is matched to a sort code, a unique code for a unique delivery address. A list of matched identification and sort codes and delivery addresses and sort codes is then saved for later search, sort, and retrieval. The parcels are then loaded in sequence into mobile racks, which when full, is loaded onto the delivery vehicle. A sequence list of the order in which the parcels were scanned is also saved for later search, sort, and retrieval. An end user enters a select list of addresses in search of possible hits from the saved lists. A hit list is generated and sorted by the order of addresses in the search list. Alternative sort options are also available.

According to the present invention, the recorded images with image-accompanying data of the postal articles or documents to be read of different customers are furnished. For each customer, master data are stored in a searchable manner. The master data includes at least the origin of the images, the range of the agreed services and, in a cost model, includes their costs according to established image attributes. Before each reading process, the respective customer and the respective reading job including the necessary image attributes are determined from the image-accompanying data are determined from the image-accompanying data and from the master data. After conducting the reading process, the customer, the procesing information concerning the reading steps with the reading and processing results, the established image attributes and the image-accompanying data are stored for each image in a searchable, sortable and time-related manner. Based on the cost model, the accruing costs are determined, are stored in a sortable manner according to types of service and/or according to service perious, and are output to each customer.
