A programmable locking assembly for an insulated enclosure such as a food delivery box that can be unlocked by the recipient of the box, by pressing a number code on the keypad of the lock, causing a locking finger to slide out from a zipper pull on the lid of the insulated enclosure to allow the recipient unzip the lid to have access to the contents of the enclosure, thereby preventing the food delivery person to access the contents of the enclosure while in route to making the delivery. The number code is texted to the recipient from the sender of the enclosure. In an alternate embodiment, an audio tone can open the lock without the user needing to press numbers on the keypad.

A pharmaceutical package for carrying a pharmaceutical container includes a first housing and a second housing in the first housing. The second housing defines a compartment sized and shaped to receive and carry the pharmaceutical container. A gas chamber is disposed between the first and second housings. The gas chamber is configured to hold a gas in an inflated state of the gas chamber. A passage extends from the first housing to the second housing and defines a passageway extending there-between to allow the pharmaceutical container to be positioned in the compartment of the second housing by moving the pharmaceutical container through the passageway. One or more supports are connected to and extending between the first housing and the second housing. The one or more supports secure and hold the second housing in the first housing.

A system for parcel transport and tracking that operates responsive to data bearing records includes a plurality of geographically spaced repositories. The exemplary repositories include a plurality of enclosed compartment spaces. Access to each of the enclosed compartment spaces is controlled by a respective door which is in operative connection with the respective lock. Central system circuitry in operative connection with the repositories is operative to control access to the compartment spaces and to cause compartments to be selectively accessible so that selected parcels may be placed therein or removed therefrom.

A smart storage equipment for smart logistics system and a smart logistics method using the same are provided. The smart storage equipment has a base device and at least one logistic container (such as, but not limited to, a logistic container with thermal insulation). The logistic container is loaded with goods and accommodated in a container-storage structure of the base device. Based on a validity of an identification information of the logistic container, the logistic container is further locked or unlocked to the container-storage structure of the base device. Furthermore, based on whether a consumer information of a consumer and the identification information of the logistic container match an order information in a server, a transceiver control unit of the logistic container controls a cover lock of the logistic container to unlock or lock.

A Parcel Box that is mounted on the garage door of a residential home for package and mail delivery comprises an outer box having a front door with a lock and an inner box having a back door with a lock, an inner box that allows the parcel box to be extended in volume capacity to accommodate varying sizes of packages, a barcode reader for scanning a barcode that is affixed on the package for unlocking the front door, a processor that communicates with the barcode reader to determine that the barcode matches one of the stored codes in the processor's storage and the processor sends a command to unlock the front door then the processor communicates with the wireless network that sends a message to the user's cell phone that a package is delivered inside the parcel box, a security camera that records the activity around the parcel box, a security lights for illuminating the driveway during night time, and a slot for receiving mails.

A remotely managed lockable storage container includes a lid, an electronically controlled lock, an internal temperature sensor; an electronic communication module comprising a processor, a communication interface, a camera system, an interior motion detector; a computer memory containing machine instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to transmit a container interior temperature reading and a lock status to a remote computing device via the communication interface.

A food delivery assembly includes a box that is comprised of a thermally insulating material thereby facilitating the box to inhibit heated items from cooling when the heated items are placed in the box. A lid is movably coupled to the box for opening and closing the box and to inhibit the heated items from cooling when the heated items are placed in the box. An engagement is coupled to the lid and a locking unit is attached to the box. The locking unit releasably engages the engagement when the lid is close. The locking unit is in wireless communication with a personal electronic device possessed by a recipient of the food delivery. The locking unit is actuated into a disengaging condition when a pin is communicated from the personal electronic device to the locking unit to access the hot food item.

A drone delivery system for receiving a package on a roof of a structure includes a panel coupled to the roof that selectively provides access to an opening in the roof upon identification and authorization of an incoming package. Once the package is identified and authorized, the panel opens and the package is received from an aerial vehicle on a platform in the opening. The platform is lowered by a drive assembly and the panel is closed over the opening. The drive assembly then lowers the platform and package to an intended destination inside the structure. A drone delivery vending machine includes a static support that defines a delivery path through a structure for delivery of a package from an aerial vehicle in response to a user input to a controller of the vending machine.

A system and method including the steps of: placing an order, with a web portal of an electronic or computing device, to send goods and/or services from a source to a destination; securing the packaged goods and/or services in a container, in which said container comprises a door lock and keypad entry; entering a passcode in said keypad entry, in which said passcode includes a recipient personal identification number (PIN); receiving, using a messaging system, a notification of a completion of packaging of the goods and/or services; receiving, using the messaging system, the passcode; changing a status of said container while the packaged goods and/or services is in transit; tracking, with said electronic or computing device, the status of the packaged goods and/or services; monitoring, with a GPS system, a location of the packaged goods and/or services; and delivering the packaged goods and/or services.

A receiving module is disclosed herein. The receiving module can include a body and a door having a front shield and a rear shield coupled to the front shield at an angle. The body of the receiving module can include installation tabs that can include installation plates. The installation plates can be bent and placed against an installation surface to facilitate installation of the receiving module. The receiving module can be coupled to a container that includes a heating compartment and a cooling compartment to store delivered goods or packages in desirable temperature conditions. The receiving module can be modular and attached to different locations.
