System and method for electronically processing address information
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for resolving an uncorrected address, comprising the steps performed by a computer of:
- receiving incorrect address data representing an address, the incorrect address data being incorrect according to first predetermined criteria;
storing the incorrect address data, in an uncorrected address database, as an uncorrected address record with a status indicator having a first value;
receiving a request for an uncorrected address record from a user over a network, the request comprising at least one filter parameter, the at least one filter parameter comprising a record status;
selecting an uncorrected address record from the uncorrected address database according to the at least one filter parameter;
transmitting the selected uncorrected address record over the network to the user;
receiving from the user, over the network, first corrected address data corresponding to the address;
storing the first corrected address data in the selected uncorrected address record; and
storing, in the uncorrected address database, the selected uncorrected address record with the first corrected address data and with a status indicator having a second value.

Abstract
Systems and methods for electronically correcting uncoded addresses include collecting uncoded addresses in an uncoded address database, sorting uncoded addresses by postal code, automatically emailing delivery personnel to notify them they have records to resolve, limiting personnel'"'"'s access to various postal codes, correcting and/or adjusting the address, determining whether the corrected address delivery point validates, and if no match can be made after correcting and/or adjusting the address, sending the address to a delivery unit with Delivery Force Knowledge™ to correct the address and return the correction for delivery point validation.

15. A system, comprising:
-
an uncorrected address database containing uncorrected address records having incorrect address data representing an address, the records having a status indicator, and the incorrect address data being incorrect according to first predetermined criteria; and a server comprising a processor for executing program instructions to correct an uncorrected address according to a method, the method comprising the steps performed by the processor of; receiving from a user over a network, a request for an uncorrected address record having a status indicator with a first value, the request comprising at least one filter parameter, the at least one filter parameter comprising a record status; selecting an uncorrected address record from the uncorrected address database according to the at least one filter parameter and for transmitting the selected uncorrected address record over the network to the user; receiving, from the user over the network, first corrected address data corresponding to the address, the first corrected address data being correct according to the first predetermined criteria; storing the first corrected address data in the selected uncorrected address record; and storing the selected uncorrected address record with the first corrected address data and with a status indicator having a second value, in the uncorrected address database. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
