ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the determination of distribution information located on the surface of mailed items located in a plurality of processing machines (ILV), with the images with the distribution information being recorded and automatically read in each machine. Unrecognized distribution information is determined by means of video-encoding locations (VCD) via a network. According to the invention, the images of the mailed items whose distribution information could not be read automatically during temporary storage are stored and administered in each processing machine. Status information about the degree of fullness of the temporary storage is exchanged regularly between the processing machines, and from this information, ranking-order values for all processing machines are determined in each processing machine. As needed, each video-encoding location requests the ranking-order values from a random processing machine, and, with an individual chance process, uses them to determine the processing machine from which the next image will be requested.
