    摘要: A method and system for delivering goods to recipients is disclosed. The method and system include a remote input receptor which includes a user interface for receiving one or more user inputs from a user. A cloud-based network stores one or more acceptable inputs and comprising a network device for obtaining said one or more user inputs from the remote input receptor. The network device obtains the one or more user inputs from the remote input receptor while the user is using the user interface. Also, the cloud-based network compares the one or more user inputs to the one or more acceptable inputs, with the acceptable inputs at least partially derived from dynamically changing environmental parameters. A remote device is controlled based on the comparison of the one or more user inputs to the one or more acceptable inputs and generating an access code to enable access to an enclosure, with the user inputs comprising the access code. The delivery status for the of goods intended for deposit in the enclosure is monitored. Finally, the access code is automatically caused to expire in response to detecting fulfillment of the delivery.

    摘要: A method for controlling communication between a remote device and a control server includes sending, over a long range radio communication link, to a number of remote devices, a number of reduced packets, each of the number of reduced packets causing each of the number of remote devices to generate a reduced response packet, the reduced response packet indicating a status of each of the number of remote devices, receiving, from a number of responding remote devices, a number of actual reduced response packets to identify when a remote device is in a report state, examining status data related to each of the number of remote devices, the status data comprising a number of attributes include a remote device reduced packet, a remote device reduced response packet, and a number of remote device attributes, when a fault is detected, generating a remote devices fault report, and transmitting, to a control server, a remote device fault report.

    摘要: An apparatus for connecting a number of rotary blade unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is described. The apparatus includes a first physical connector, a first electrical connector, a second physical connector, a second electrical connector, a storage area, and a UAV control unit. The first physical connector attaches the apparatus to a first UAV. The first electrical connector connects electricity between the apparatus and the first UAV. The second physical connector attaches the apparatus to a second UAV. The second electrical connector connects electricity between the apparatus and the second UAV. The storage area stores an energy source for the apparatus. The UAV control unit includes a processor and storage medium. The processor and storage medium are in communication with a cloud based network and receive instructions for the operation of the UAV, including steering instructions, through the cloud based network from a remote control device.
