A package delivery system for enhanced delivery receivals including a door access panel, a first housing, a controller, a wireless communication interface, a delivery handling device, a second housing, and a transfer device. The door access panel may accept delivery of packages via a passageway that may be formed in a door. The first housing may be attached to the door access panel. The first housing may be in communication with the passageway to house packages delivered through the door access panel. The controller may selectively move the door between the opened position and the closed position. The delivery handling device may be moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The second housing may be carried by the delivery handling device to receive a package from the first housing. The transfer device may move the package from the first housing to the second housing.

In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a connection interface, a LAN interface, a WAN interface, and a processor. The connection interface is to connect to a PCB of a door controller. The LAN interface is to communicate with a plurality of door sensors. The WAN interface is to communicate with a remote server of a service provider. The processor is communicatively coupled to the connection interface, the LAN interface, and the WAN interface. The processor is to receive door data from the plurality of door sensors via the LAN interface, transmit the door data to the remote server for analysis, receive a correction action from the remote server in response to the door data that is transmitted, and execute the corrective action on a door of the plurality of doors via the LAN interface.

A pet system according to various aspects of the present technology may comprise a pet apparatus configured to attach to a pet door, comprising an enclosure comprising a wall. The wall may include an entrance defined therethrough. A pet door interface may be connectable to the pet door. The pet door interface may define a substantially enclosed portal between the pet door and the entrance.

In one aspect, an in-vehicle device is provided that includes a sensor configured to detect a vehicle characteristic indicative of the vehicle being in proximity to a location associated with a movable barrier operator. The in-vehicle device includes communication circuitry to communicate an open command to the movable barrier operator that causes the movable barrier operator to open a movable barrier connected to the movable barrier operator. A memory is configured to store a vehicle arrival condition indicative of whether the vehicle arrived at the location associated with the movable barrier operator. A processor is configured to determine satisfaction of the vehicle arrival condition and, upon the vehicle arrival condition not being satisfied, cause the communication circuitry to communicate a close command to the movable barrier operator that causes the movable barrier operator to close the movable barrier.

An access control apparatus having a protective covering configure to cover at least one of a subject or an object inside said protective covering is provided, where an opening is configured to provide access to the at least one of a subject or an object and a covering element configured to selectively cover said opening. A receiving element is provided on the protective covering and an activating device with an activating element is provided external to the protective covering. A motor is coupled to the covering element, wherein said motor selectively moves the covering element to at least partially unblock the opening based on a wireless activation signal and a distance between the activating element and the receiving element being within a predefined distance and to completely block the opening based on the wireless activation signal and the distance between the activating element and the receiving element being greater than the predefined distance, effectively limiting the exchange of contaminated or adverse environments between an internal area of the protective covering and an area outside the protective covering. The covering element can be an integral covering or an iris diaphragm arrangement.

The Intelligent Door Opening system consists of several devices that work together to identify approaching individuals, verify that they should be allowed access, which can be conducted by several different means. Once they have been approved the system will then grant them access by opening the door and then closing said door when the individual has entered the building. The Intelligent Door Opening system will also comprise several devices to add additional security to the primaries home, examples being a deadbolt that stops hackers from being able to control the other devices, a camera, and a secure locking system. The intelligent Door Opening system will add all the convenience of an automatic door as seen at a mall, but with the security to ensure that only people that are allowed access will be allowed to enter.

A motor vehicle includes a body, a side door hinged to the body so that it can rotate about an axis towards a side of the motor vehicle between a closed configuration and an open configuration; a motorized opening device, which is controllable to move the door from the closed configuration towards the open configuration; command receiving means to receive an opening request command for the door from the outside of the motor vehicle; and a control unit (ECU) configured to control the opening device so that the door rotates from the closed configuration towards the open configuration in response to the opening request command.

An automatic opening and closing device of door includes a locking unit arranged on the door, a door driving unit configured for driving the door to open or close, a signal receiving unit configured for receiving external or internal signals of the door, and a control unit electrically communicated and connected with the signal receiving unit. The locking unit includes a lock and a power motor. The power motor and the door driving unit are electrically communicated and connected with the control unit. When the signal receiving unit senses a correct door opening signal from the inside or outside of the door, the control unit will first command the power motor to drive the lock to be unlocked and command the door driving unit to act to open the door. After a person has passed the door, the control unit will command the door driving unit to act to close the door and command the power motor to link and drive the lock to be locked. It can be noted that the person does not need to contact any part of the door or the lock, so as to prevent virus infection, which achieves an epidemic prevention effect.

Garage door openers and methods of operating garage doors to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Such a garage door opener includes a motor unit configured to raise and lower an overhead garage door of a garage functionally coupled thereto, and an carbon monoxide (CO) detector that detects and measures a concentration of carbon monoxide gas in the garage. The CO detector directly delivers a signal to the motor unit in response to the detected concentration of carbon monoxide gas exceeding a predetermined CO threshold level for at predetermined duration, so that the garage door opener raises the overhead garage door with the motor unit.

Interactive panels are used to display information to one or more users that are interacting with the interactive panels. One or more detection devices (e.g., sensors, communication devices, or the like) detect that users may be located near the interactive panels. The information displayed to the users may be any type of information, such as user information, product information, entity information, area information, or other like information. The interactive panels may be used in any type of barrier, such as doors, walls, fee-standing structures within or outside of a building, adaptable panels that are moveable, or the like. The interactive panels may have energy harvesting layers that at least partially aid in powering the interactive panels and/or components thereof. The interactive panels may have protection layers that at least partially aid in protecting the displays and/or energy harvesting layers of the interactive panels from damage.
