摘要: Systems, methods and software are provided for providing visual marketing content with a locker system to customers in a retail store environment. The locker system includes an array of lockers, each locker of the array including a door having a flat exterior facing surface. All flat exterior facing surfaces of all lockers of the array are co-planar in their closed positions. The locker system includes a locker central control unit in communication with one or more memory devices. The system includes one or more electronic devices in communication with the locker central control unit for displaying the visual marketing content on one or more of the flat exterior surfaces. In practice, the disclosed systems, methods and software advantageously provide operators the ability to identify customers proximal the locker system, and deliver the visual marketing content in both a generic fashion and in a manner targeted to identified customers.

摘要: The disclosure provides a system for delivering packages by a delivery person in a location with multiple recipients comprising a plurality of lockers, each locker having an interior space, a door, a locker identifier, and a locking portion associated with each door. A central control unit comprises a first input device configured to allow the delivery person to designate the number of lockers to be opened, a second input device adapted to read the package identifier and a locker identifier, and a controller configured to deactivate the locking portions on the designated lockers. Upon delivery, the controller deactivates the number of locking portions equal to the number of designated lockers, and at a location remote from the central control unit, the second input device reads a package and a locker identifier for a designated locker and transmits the package and locker information to the central control unit.
