摘要:
A recycling kiosk (100) for recycling and financial remuneration for submission of an electronic device (150) is disclosed herein. The recycling kiosk (100) includes an inspection area (101) with preferably two mirrored, domed hemispheres (520, 530) positioned about a transparent table (545) and cameras (610) for imaging an electronic device (150) placed on the table (545). Inspection of an About page or a barcode within a battery compartment of the electronic device (150) is performed to determine a value for the electronic device (150). Alternatively, a robotic finger (725) is utilized to inspect the electronic device (150). The recycling kiosk (100) also includes a processor (160), a display (115) and a user interface (167).
