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.

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.

A drone loaded with a package takes off from a takeoff device and uses a GPS system to fly to a user house that is a delivery destination of the package as the destination. Further, when the drone approaches the user house that is the destination, the flight of the drones is switched from autonomous navigation using the GPS system to remote control performed by a landing device and an in-house control device installed in the user house. The drone lands on the landing device by remote control from the landing device and the in-house control device, separates the package, and then returns to the warehouse using the GPS system and lands on the takeoff device.

A system for the delivery and secure receipt of packages from unmanned vehicles to improve security and protection of the packages upon delivery. A UAV receptacle provides a water-protected interior to protect a package. The UAV receptacle includes a door in one side that allows a reception tray to extend out and back in, and which locks to protect the package so received. The UAV receptacle detects a drone in proximity. Upon confirming that delivery is for the UAV receptacle, the reception tray extends to a reception position. A sensor detects the package on the reception tray upon delivery from the drone. The reception tray is of a mesh material to reduce water retention. The UAV receptacle retracts the reception tray and closes a door to seal the package within the UAV receptacle. The UAV receptacle may notify user devices that the package has been received.

Securing systems and methods of securing a transport container to an attachment point. In one embodiment, the securing system includes an actuator, an attachment structure, and an electronic controller. The attachment structure is dimensioned to complement the actuator. The electronic controller is operably coupled to the actuator for attaching and releasing the actuator to the attachment structure.

A contactless delivery locker may have a locker housing with a locker door fitted to the locker housing. A disinfecting system may be arranged to disinfect the locker content and a remotely actuable lock may be arranged to secure the locker door in a closed position and actuable to release the locker door. A controller associated with the lock may be configured to actuate the lock and a wireless interface may be connected to the controller and configured to receive a command to actuate the lock to release the locker door. The controller may operate to control actuation of the lock to release the locker door upon detection of a command to actuate the lock and release the locker door. The controller may be configured to report lock status information to a user to confirm if a locker has been opened after completion of a disinfecting cycle.

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 package receiving system includes a cabinet anchored on an exterior of a building; an opening providing access to an interior of the cabinet; and a control system incorporated into the cabinet, the control system having a scanner to read a code associated with a package; the opening allows for the package to be received into the cabinet; and the control system is to capture data associated with the package entering the cabinet.

An apparatus for receiving and storing mail or perishable products includes a body with a first internal cavity for mail and a second controlled temperature internal cavity for containing perishable products, a temperature conditioning device, a movable closure element allowing or preventing access to the internal cavities; a user interface device for the input and output of audio and video signals and a network interface device for placing the user interface device in communication with a remote device, and an electronic control unit which controls and manages the user interface device, the network interface device and the movable closure element. The electronic control unit generates at least one random alphanumeric code sent to the remote device, which sends an unlock signal based on the code to the electronic control unit to unlock the movable closure element and allow access to the first internal cavity or the second internal cavity.
