Method and system for automatically depositing objects for the purpose of their transportation
First Claim
1. A method of preparing and attaching an identification tag to at least one object, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a user, a first reusable electromagnetic identification tag including identification data that associates the first electromagnetic identification tag with the user;
a prior phase of storing user data associated with said first electromagnetic identification tag in a data memory by a user, wherein the user is at a location that is remote from the transport place and remote from a location of the data memory, said user data comprising;
information relating to the user with whom the at least one object is associated;
information relating to the total number of objects declared by said user; and
information relating to a destination, a route and a time of the transport of the at least one object;
applying, by the user, said first electromagnetic identification tag to the at least one object to be transported;
a depositing phase taking place at the transport place, said depositing phase comprising the following steps;
placing, by the user, the at least one object to be transported directly on a conveyor;
reading said identification data, by a first reader, from said first electromagnetic identification tag, andstoring said identification data read by the first reader in the data memory associated with previously stored user data relating to the at least one object being transported; and
a conveying phase that conveys the at least one object for the purpose of its transport.

Abstract
A method for automatically depositing objects for transport, including a phase of user storing transport data in a storage element, the data relating to: the user associated with the object; the total number of objects declared by the user; the destination, the route and the time of the transport; a depositing phase, including: a user applying a first electromagnetic identification tag onto an object to be transported; placing, by the user, the object to be transported on a conveyance device; reading an identification data, by first reading device, from the first electromagnetic identification tag, storing identification data read in the storage element in association with previously stored transport data; a phase of conveying the object for transport; the depositing phase including a measurement of the weight and/or dimensions of the object and/or storing, in the storage element, of the weight and/or the dimensions in association with the transport data.

12. A system for preparing and attaching an identification tag to at least one object, the system comprising:
-
a first reusable electromagnetic identification tag obtained by a user, the first electromagnetic identification tag including identification data that associates the first electromagnetic identification tag with the user; first data memory for storing, by a user, user data associated with said first electromagnetic identification tag and relating to the transport of at least one object, said first data memory being in a location that is remote from the transport place and remote from the user; wherein the first electromagnetic identification tag is attached by the user to the at least one object after storing the user data in the first data memory; a first reader that reads identification data from the first electromagnetic identification tag on the at least one object to be transported; a second data memory in communication with said first reader, and provided for storing said identification data in association with previously stored user data relating to said transport of the at least one object; a conveyor that conveys said the at least one object placed by said user directly on the conveyor, for the purpose of transporting the at least one object, said conveyor being located at the transport place; and a measurement device that measures at least one of a weight and dimensions of the at least one object. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
