A locking system that controls access to a parcel storage box having a lockable door or lid with an electrically controllable locking mechanism. The locking system includes an optical scanner for scanning a barcode on a parcel that includes tracking information. A communication module transmits the tracking information to a separate computing system over a wireless network and then receives a response from the computing system indicating whether or not the transmitted barcode information is associated with an expected delivery. Electrical circuitry opens the locking mechanism if the tracking information is associated with an expected delivery.

A system for securely depositing an item includes: a deposit box with a door configured to provide selective access to an interior space in the deposit box; a lock mechanism configured to attach to the deposit box to selectively block the door from opening; a first proximity sensor operatively connected to the lock mechanism to operate the lock mechanism to block the door or allow the door to open; a second proximity sensor configured to be attached to at least one of: a delivery person and a piece of delivery equipment; a third proximity sensor; and a first transmitter operatively connected to the lock mechanism and configured to transmit a signal indicative of operating information regarding the lock mechanism.

The disclosure provides an innovative delivery receptacle for receiving objects (such as parcels and mail) deposited into the receptacle and securely storing them once deposited. The receptacle allows for the orientation of the position of an input opening and delivery door for a delivering party, such as a courier, to deposit the objects in the receptacle to be changeable with respect to the orientation of an access opening and access door for a receiving party to remove the objects. In one embodiment, the delivery door also restricts access to the deposited objects while they are deposited into the receptacle. The receptacle may be a stand-alone receptacle or it may be a structure-mounted unit, such as installed in a wall or other structure. The receptacle may comprise a separate first and second sections that may be shipped separately and assembled with the desired orientation.

The disclosed embodiments include an anti-theft system. The anti-theft system includes a netting, a male connector linkage, and a network of female connectors. The netting includes a set of safety loops along the periphery of the netting. The male connector linkage includes at least two male connectors connected by a linkage. The male connector linkage is woven through the safety loops then connected to individual female connectors within the network of female connectors. The network of female connectors is embedded within an opening on a door. The anti-theft system is operable to cling or secure a package to a door in order to prevent the theft of said package.

A secure, lockable folding storage box is disclosed herein. The storage box may attach to doors or walls. The storage box and fastening mechanism is adjustable to accommodate doors of various sizes. The storage box may also be mounted to any fixed or mobile structure. The storage box may be remotely locked, or unlocked, and/or have a programmable key access code interface.

A delivery system includes a container having a base portion defining at least one cavity therein. At least one wheel is mounted proximate a first end of the base portion. A handle is mounted proximate a second end of the base portion. A lid portion is movable relative to the base portion to selective open and close the at least one cavity in the base portion. A cable is secured to at least one of the base portion or the lid portion. A hook is secured to the cable. The hook is configured to be secured to a house door, such that the container can be secured near the house door to receive deliveries securely.

A collapsible safe box that can be removably or permanently affixed to a structure. The collapsible safe box may include protractible and retractable side member, bottom member, and lid. The collapsible safe box may include one or more electronic devices to monitor and operate the functioning of the safe box. In examples, the collapsible safe box may include means to allow for remove operation.

Disclosed herein a depositing device for a cargo carried out by an unmanned aerial vehicle. The depositing device can comprise a receptacle enclosed from above by one or more swinging ledges forming a cargo-dropping area on the outer surface thereof, wherein the receptacle is coupled to a hanging device adapted for hanging said depositing device to a balcony railing. The depositing device also comprises a transmitter designed to transmit information usable by the unmanned aerial vehicle to determine a spatial position of the cargo-dropping area. The one or more swinging ledges are designed to tilt inwardly into the receptacle in case a force exerted by a weight of the cargo imposed on the cargo-dropping area exceeds a threshold weight, for inserting said cargo into the receptacle.

A collapsible-locker, that is lockable, for receiving packages, may have at least one sterilizer for sterilizing at least some exterior portion of a given package received into the collapsible-locker. The collapsible-locker may have a sterilizer for sterilizing at least some exterior portions of the collapsible-locker where a person may be intended to interact with the collapsible-locker. The collapsible-locker may have a lid, a front-wall, a rear-wall, side-walls, and a floor that form main aspects of the collapsible-locker. Interior surfaces of the lid, the front-wall, the rear-wall, the side-walls, and/or the floor may be reflective to enhance UV (ultraviolet) light sterilizing the at least some exterior portion of the given package received into the collapsible-locker. The collapsible-locker may be configured to be attached to a side hinged door, wherein the hinged door provides access to a building for people.

A package drop box includes a base, a cap, and a retention bracket. The base has an open top. The cap has an open bottom. In a first position, the cap is fitted over the base such that a bottom edge of the cap is proximate a bottom edge of the base. In the second position, the bottom edge of the cap is proximate a top edge of the base. The retention bracket is configured to secure to the base. The retention bracket is configured to extend up a back of the base from the surface supporting the package drop box, extend along the surface away from the back of the base, and extend vertically upward from the surface supporting the package drop box at a predetermined distance from the back of the base.
