US Patent 11883852 Systems and methods of processing undeliverable delivery items

Provided herein are processing systems, computer readable media, and methods for processing undeliverable delivery items. A system includes a camera and a hardware processor operably connected to the camera and configured to perform operations that include capturing, using the camera, an image of a delivery item that is undeliverable to an intended recipient or at an intended delivery location, the image including an address of the intended recipient. The operations also include embedding, by the hardware processor, processing data with the image to thereby generate an embedded image as a printable file, the embedded image including the image of the delivery item framed by a template area that includes a reason for the delivery item being undeliverable. The operations also include notifying a sender of the delivery item that the delivery item is undeliverable via a hard copy printout of the embedded image.
