A mail delivery assistance system comprises a letterbox for receiving mail consignments that has an opening and an electronic locking mechanism, a data processing device that comprises a database having an address file in which a respective addressee is associated with a building address, and a reader for capturing mail consignment data of a mail consignment. The reader, during operation, is communicatively connected to the data processing device in order to send the mail consignment data to the data processing device. The data processing device checks whether the mail consignment data match an addressee in the address file, and, if this is the case, generates a control signal for the locking mechanism in order to open the opening and to allow delivery of the mail consignment.

A parcel locker system is disclosed that includes a rigid container having an external surface, an internal area that is configured to receive and hold a parcel, a door that is configured to be reversibly opened and closed, a door lock that is configured to be wirelessly activated and deactivated, a digital indicator located on the external surface (which signals whether the door lock is activated or deactivated), a means for attaching the rigid container to a floor or wall surface, and a power source. The system further includes a camera that is configured and oriented to capture video content of a delivery person located adjacent to the rigid container and wirelessly transmit such video content. In addition, the system includes a software application that is configured to receive transmitted video content from the camera and, according to a user's command, wirelessly issue an instruction to the door lock to deactivate for a period of time.

A package receiving device (1) for receiving a package (3) includes a mounting panel (5a), a bottom panel (5b) and at least one side panel (7). The package receiving device (1) and corresponding panels (5,7) thereof being operable in at least one first configuration where the mounting, bottom and side panels (5a,5b,7) are collapsed onto one another into a reduced space, with the at least one side panel (7) being placeable between the bottom and mounting panels (5b,5a), and being containable within a spanning width (1) defined by the bottom and mounting panels (5b,5a). The package receiving device (1) and corresponding panels (5,7) thereof being further operable in at least one second configuration where the panels (5,7) are deployed and positioned with respect to one another in order to define a containment space being shaped and sized for containing the package (3) therein.

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.

A foldable tray assembly configured for hanging on an exterior surface of a door. More particularly, the invention relates to a device configured to support and accept delivered items to facilitate a more hygienic mechanism for no contact delivery. The assembly is comprised of a hanger portion, a tray portion, and a cover portion configured for fitment together to form a cohesive and assembled device. The hanger portion is generally configured to allow for placement of the device along a vertical surface of a door the device is placed upon, the tray portion provides a resting surface for a delivered item, and the cover portion provides a protective enclosure. The tray portion and cover portion are capable of hinged movement between a pair of positions.

A delivery receiving assembly for enabling secure unattended delivery of an item includes a housing, which has an opening positioned therein. A door is hingedly engaged to the housing and is positioned to cover the opening. A locking unit, which is engaged to one of the housing and the door and is selectively engageable to the other of the housing and the door, is positioned to secure the door over the opening. A keypad is engaged to one of the housing and the door. A microprocessor is engaged to the housing and is operationally engaged to the keypad and the locking unit. Upon entry of a code into the keypad, the microprocessor actuates the locking unit to unlock the door. An alarm is engaged to the housing and is operationally engaged to the microprocessor. The microprocessor selectively actuates the alarm upon entry of an incorrect code into the keypad.
