Abstract: The present invention relates to a system that will permit the automatic measurement of the efficiencies of a delivery process from end to end. This system uses Radio Frequency based transponders and reader infrastructure to capture data as objects that contain RF transponders pass process points. In particular this invention permits the capture of delivery data automatically at the final end point. This invention is applicable in delivery applications such as those performed by post offices.

Abstract: A package deposit enclosure designed for public use is powered by an efficient storage battery and photovoltaic cell array. These unique features allow the package deposit enclosure to be placed in locations where no power is available, but where there is frequent human traffic. Sensing and wireless data communication features allow the unit to be emptied less often than typical package delivery enclosures. Wireless communication also allows users' access to real-time information. On board power enables other functions, such as lighting and audio, to enhance device functionality.

Abstract: The invention relates to a locking storage device in which objects are deposited for the later removal thereof. The inventive device consists of: at least one safe-deposit box (2) which is intended to house the object and which comprises a door (3) and a lock (4), a code input device (9a, 9b), and a control unit (11) which is designed to authorise an object to be deposited therein and subsequently removed therefrom following the entry of a removal code. The device also comprises a weight sensor (14a, 14b) which supports the weight of the safe-deposit box. The aforementioned control unit is designed to determine the weight of the object contained in the safe-deposit box (2) once an object has been deposited therein, to determine the variation in the weight of the safe-deposit box when an object is being removed and to emit an alarm signal when the object has been removed if said variation does not correspond to the weight of the object.

Abstract: Customers corresponding to a consignor sending a package and a consignee receiving the package install home delivery boxes at their homes, respectively. Information can be transmitted and received through a network between customer terminals and a terminal of a home delivery carrier delivering the package. When the consignor puts the package into the home delivery box at his/her home and then transmits information to the terminal of the home delivery carrier, the terminal of the home delivery carrier issues a memory card based on the information transmitted from the consignor. The home delivery carrier carrying the memory card can open a box door of the home delivery box to pick up the package from the home delivery box. On the other hand, the home delivery carrier transports the package to the home delivery box of the consignee. The home delivery carrier operates the memory card produced based on information transmitted from the consignee to open a box door of the home delivery box of the consignee so as to put the package into the box. In this manner, even if the consignor and the consignee are not at their homes, the home delivery carrier can unlock the home delivery boxes by using the memory cards to pick up the package from and put the package into the boxes.

Abstract translation: 对应于发货人的发货人的客户和收货人的收货人分别在家中安装送货箱。 信息可以通过客户终端之间的网络和提供包裹的送货上门承载的终端之间的网络进行发送和接收。 当发货人将包裹放入其家中的送货箱内，然后将信息发送到送货上门终端时，家庭送达运营商的终端基于从发货人发送的信息发出存储卡。 携带存储卡的送货上门可以打开送货箱的箱门，从送货箱中取出包裹。 另一方面，送货承运人运送包裹到收货人的送货箱。 送货承运人根据从收货人发送的信息生产的存储卡，打开收货人送货箱的箱门，将包装放入箱中。 以这种方式，即使发货人和收货人不在家中，送货上门也可以通过使用存储卡从包装中取出并将包装放入箱中来解锁送货箱。

Abstract: A customized mailbox is provided to customers for placement outside their home. Simple electronics, such as a display, keypad, bar-code reader, and transmitter/receiver may be contained within the mailbox. When parcel delivery is attempted, the deliveryperson may facilitate the notification of the user by, for example, scanning a bar code on the parcel with the bar code reader. Parcel information is then wirelessly forwarded to a service provider. The service provider may forward parcel information a mobile device or other notification mechanism as specified in user preferences. Upon receipt of the parcel delivery information, the user may, through the mobile device or other notification mechanism, approve delivery of the parcel. The service provider may then forward this approval to the electronic mailbox, where an electronic lock may be opened and the deliveryperson may place the parcel in the electronic mailbox.
