11047145 · 2021-06-29 · ·

A reconfigurable mobile shelter system includes multiple shelter structures and a management system communicating with the shelter structures. The shelter structures are physically independent of each other, each located at a selected location, and configured to be moveable to another selected location without being disassembled and re-assembled. Each shelter structure has an access control subsystem and a user information collection module, and transmits user information to the management system. The management system, based on the received user information, determines whether to permit access by a user to a shelter structure and use of equipment inside, and transmits corresponding commands to the shelter structure. The management system also determines whether any shelter structure is to be moved to another selected location, and controls moving equipment to move them. The reconfigurable mobile shelter system may be used as a lodging facility, entertainment facility, office facility, education facility, meeting facility, etc.
