Systems and methods for receiving packages from drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are described. The systems can include a delivery package mounting unit, such as a unit configured to mount to the outside of a house or building, configured and adapted to facilitate the landing of a drone to the unit and receive to multiple packages from the drone and/or one or more other drones. In some embodiments, the mounting unit includes a landing tray configured to facilitate the landing of a drone to the unit, and a movable package tray configured to receive packages and other cargo from the drone.

A security container configured to be releasably secured to a structure wherein the security container is movable between a stored position and a deployed position. In the deployed position the security container is operable to receive packages or similar objects. The security container includes a rear wall, a front wall, a bottom panel and sidewalls that are movably coupled in order to provide transition between the stored position and the deployed position. A top panel member is further provided to provide covering of the opening of the security container 100 in its deployed position. A communications module is further includes having elements such a motion sensor, a camera and a microphone wherein the communications module provides remote operation of the security container 100. An alarm module and weight sensors are further included and the security container 100 can be secured to the structure utilizing alternate embodiments of the securing member.

A collapsible security container is disclosed. The collapsible security container comprises a collapsible box and a hinged-lid connected to the collapsible box. The collapsible box comprises a bottom panel: a front panel, a left side panel, a right side panel and a back panel connected to the bottom panel by fold lines along respective edges of the bottom panel, wherein the bottom panel, front panel, left side panel, right side panel and back panel define an interior compartment. A locking system secures the hinged-lid to the collapsible box. A strap is attached to the collapsible box. The strap has an attachment end that is attached to the collapsible box and a free end that terminates in a fastener or stopper for securing the security container about or to a structure such as a door or wall.

A secured parcel delivery system for creating temporary access through a door for delivered parcels includes a door. The door has a portal aperture which extends therethrough. The portal aperture includes a perimeter edge. A panel is pivotably attached to the perimeter edge. The panel is positionable in an open condition which exposes the portal aperture or in a closed condition which covers the portal aperture. A driver mechanism actuates the panel alternatingly between the open condition and the closed condition. A locking mechanism is attached to and releasably locks the panel when the panel is in the closed condition. The locking mechanism is actuated to an unlocked condition which allows the panel to be moved to the open condition or a locked condition which restrains the panel in the closed condition.

A temperature-controlled delivery appliance and a method of operating the same are provided. The temperature-controlled delivery appliance includes a storage container, an object detection assembly for detecting the items within the storage container, and a controller for implementing a method including receiving a delivery notification of an item to be delivered and using the object detection assembly to determine the available storage capacity within the storage container. If there is insufficient available storage capacity, the method includes providing a notification to a user or delivery agent to deliver to an alternate location or reschedule delivery.

A locker management system including a management server and a status of keeping items at locker spots for a predetermined length of time. The locker spot is equipped with an electronically controlled locker, and the management server receives selection and designation of the locker spot to keep the item upon order of the item from a customer terminal and designation of the predetermined length of time, and upon detection of delivery of the item to the locker spot, notifies the customer terminal of a locker number of the locker. When a customer visits the locker spot and reads a code attached to the locker, and transmits this code and the customer ID to the management server, the management server performs checking processing. If the answer is positive, a signal for unlocking the locker is transmitted to the locker.

A receiving enclosure for receiving goods, the receiving enclosure having one or more doors movable between an open position and a closed position, and a locking device adapted to releasably secure the one or more doors in the closed position.

A package securing system operable to facilitate the ability for an individual expecting to receive a package to provide and control a secure environment for receiving the package wherein the individual can execute the security protocols remotely. The package securing system further includes a lock having a body, a shank with keeper operably secured thereto, a solenoid with piston, a scanner and a controller. The controller provides operation of the lock and is operably coupled to the Internet via a wireless communication protocol. The controller is communicably coupled to a software application wherein the software application provide an interface for operation of the package securing system. The lock is unlocked and locked utilizing a machine-readable dataset wherein the machine-readable dataset is associated with an expected package and communicated to the controller via the software application. A server is provided to execute portions of the operational method of the present invention.

A delivery management system configured to automatically order a delivery of an article based on an inventory status of the article in a storage room by using a computer is provided. The storage room is installed so that it penetrates an exterior wall of a house. The delivered article can be put into the storage room from the outside of the house, and the article put into the storage room can be taken out, in a living space of the house, from the storage room.

Present embodiments relate to a revolving mailbox cluster and central package delivery system. More specifically, without limitation, present embodiments relate to a revolving mailbox cluster that includes: substantially circular layers stacked vertically, where a second layer sits atop a first layer, and wherein each substantially circular layers includes: vertically opposed bottom top plates, divider plates perpendicular to the bottom and top plates, and a center ring, where the bottom and top plates, dividers, and center ring define individual mailbox units, each of which has an opening disposed opposite the center ring; a first motor for moving the substantially circular layers vertically; and a second motor for rotating the substantially circular layers.
