Securable delivery container for temporarily securely storing deliveries and limiting access
A securable delivery container for temporarily securely storing deliveries and limiting access comprising a container having a bottom, a plurality of walls a receiving compartment defined therein, a lid attachment, a lid for accessing the compartment, and a compartment anchor point for securing a deployable external compartment, a temperature controlled compartment, a lock, a deployable external compartment for deliveries with one receiving compartment defined therein, and a lock for the external compartment, whereby a delivery person unlocks the securable delivery container, places a package, inside the container and locks the container unless the package is too large or an odd shape that will not fit in the securable delivery container, then a delivery person deploys the external compartment and places the odd package inside the external compartment and secures the delivery to securable delivery container, closes the lid, and locks the securable delivery container locking the external container.
Parcel storage assembly
A parcel storage assembly includes a box that has an upper door and a lower door. A first tray and a second tray is each pivotally integrated into the box. The first tray and the second tray are positioned in a deployed position for having the parcel positioned thereon when the upper door is opened. The first tray and the second tray are each positioned in a stored position when the upper door is closed in order to drop the parcel downwardly in the box. An alert unit is integrated into the box and the alert unit detects when the parcel falls into the box. The alert unit broadcasts an alert signal to the personal electronic device when the alert unit detects the parcel to alert the authorized recipient that the parcel has been deposited into the box.
Food delivery receptacle assembly
A food delivery receptacle assembly for protecting food deliveries includes a box in which a set of openings is positioned. A food container can be inserted into the box through a respective opening. Each of a set of panels is hingedly engaged to the box and is positioned to selectively close a respective opening. Insulation is engaged to an inner surface of the box and to an inner face of each panel. The insulation reduces heat transfer between food in the food container and air outside of the box. Each of a set of locks is engaged to the box and is selectively engageable to a respective panel. The locks are electronically actuated to deter unauthorized access to the food container. The locks can be deactivated to permit authorized access to the food container, thus allowing access to the box by a delivery agent and a user.
Compartment System
Provided is a method involving obtaining an identifier at a control unit of a compartment system having compartments provided with respective locks and respective lock control units that are configured to communicate with the control unit; obtaining information indicating that one compartment has been closed, and causing storing of the identifier in the lock control unit assigned to the compartment. Also provided is a method comprising detecting, at a lock control unit assigned to a compartment of a compartment system comprising a control unit and compartments provided with respective locks and lock control units configured to communicate with the control unit, that the compartment has been closed; transmitting a piece of information identifying the lock control unit to the control unit if it has been detected that the compartment has been closed; obtaining an identifier from the control unit; and storing the identifier in the lock control unit.
PARCEL BOX
A parcel box includes a weather resistant housing, a temperature control system, a communication module, and electrical circuitry. The weather resistant housing includes a lockable door for providing access to a protected cavity configured for receiving a parcel for temporary secure storage of the parcel. The temperature control system selectively controls a temperature inside the protected cavity. The communication module receives delivery data including an estimated delivery time for the parcel. The electrical circuitry operates the temperature control system to adjust the temperature of the protected cavity to within a preferred temperature range prior to the estimated delivery time of the parcel and maintains the temperature for at least a specified period of time.
RECEPTACLE FOR DETECTING DELIVERY AND RETRIEVAL EVENTS
A receptacle for detecting delivery and retrieval events has a door sensor, an item sensor, a scanner, and a control unit for operating the sensors, and transmitting the sensor information for processing and analysis. A system can determine whether an event was a delivery or retrieval event based on sensor information and item tracking information. A system can further include an item configured to interact with a computing device.
Delivery door extension
A delivery door extension that attaches to an existing door jamb and engages with an existing door is provided. The delivery door extension includes a panel having a planar body with opposing front and rear surfaces extending between first and second side surfaces, a top surface, and a bottom surface, wherein the panel body includes an opening. The delivery door extension also includes a delivery window body configured to move between an open position and a closed position, wherein the delivery window covers the opening of the panel body in the closed position, and wherein the delivery window body is does not cover the opening of the panel body in the open position, a hinge ring attached to the first side surface of the panel, wherein the hinge ring engages with a hinge pin on the door jamb, and a blocking mechanism on the second side surface that extends forward from the front surface of the body of the panel.
Parcel Storage Assembly
A parcel storage assembly for remotely securing a parcel delivery includes a box that is positionable adjacent to an entry of a building to be accessible to a parcel delivery person. A lid is hingedly coupled to the box for opening and closing the box. A locking unit is coupled to the box and the locking unit engages the lid when the locking unit is turned on to inhibit the lid from is opened. The locking unit is in wireless communication with a personal electronic device to facilitate a user to remotely lock and unlock the box. A light emitter is coupled to the box to kill bacteria and sterilizing the parcel delivered by the parcel delivery person. A cooler is positionable within the box for receiving a food delivery positioned therein.
SECURE PACKAGE DELIVERY AND PICK-UP SYSTEM
A secure package delivery and pick-up system includes a security door having a frame, and one or more collapsible storage compartments affixed to the frame. The collapsible storage compartments are configured for accommodating packages. An electronic unit is mounted on the frame, and is configured for electronically controlling an operation for the collapsible storage compartments. A security device is connected to the security door and receives images of a physical object from a first camera, receives an indication from at least one security tether indicating movement of the at least one physical object, and provides an alert based on the indication of movement of the at least one physical object.
