Abstract
A system and method for unique virtual dynamically-capable (UVDC) addressing relating to mail and parcel delivery and forwarding. The UVDC addressing system comprises at least one data collection processing and storage Host that creates a unique virtual dynamically-capable (UVDC) address for a subscriber be it an individual, business or other entity, that contains a UVDC address code, and an associated informational data set and a mechanism for conveying this data when the Host is queried by a mail/parcel processing facility. The informational data set corresponding to the UVDC address code is changeable to adapt to the changing needs and desires of the subscriber. By virtue of their UDVC address, the subscriber can have a mail/parcel delivered to any facility by any means and have them sent to any final delivery point by any means with the final delivery point being changeable at any time while mail/parcel remains within the UVDCA system. The UVDC addressing system provides the only addressing system that allows a seamless interface between all elements of current, conventional mail and parcel delivery infrastructure, such as between the U.S. Postal System and other non-postal parcel carriers, like United Parcel Services and Federal Express. Now free from problems of the conventional legacy address model of one address per person per physical location or per delivery point of mail and parcels, people and other entities can get mail and parcels delivered wherever they want, whenever they want, no matter the delivery method, no matter what. All they need is a UVDC Address and the UVDC addressing system will take care of the rest.
