Abstract: A multi-level machine-readable code system and method deployed in an environment supported by a wireless access control system network. The multi-level machine-readable code system including multi-level codes including facility-level codes, site-level codes and device-level codes, that are scanned by mobile computing devices such as mobile smart phones to initiated web-based e-commerce-enabled transactions that allow guest users to select and rent the particular networked devices available for rental and use within a facility, such as, for example, storage lockers, strollers, EVCs, wheelchairs and the like at a site selected within the environment. The wireless access and control system network can automatically assign an available device to the guest user at the selected site. When the guest reads the device-level machine-readable code on a device available for rental at a site, the wireless control access network also enables the guest users to scan the code and rent the device at the selected site and automatically control access to the rented device at the selected site, for access and use in the environment.

Abstract: In some embodiments, system, apparatuses and methods are provided useful for delivering packages. One such configuration may include storage lockers and a control circuit that detects proximity of delivery agents to a locker, and in response, sends a code to an agent that verifies the agent upon receipt of the code therefrom. In another configuration, the control circuit associates a storage locker with a customer profile, detects a customer approaching and a first authentication aspect, receives a second authentication aspect, and compares the authentication aspects with the customer profile. In another example, a control circuit associates a delivery container with a customer profile and the delivery agents handling the container, and upon receiving a package scan, compares the scan with aspects associated with responsible delivery agents. In another example, a control circuit receives sensed data from a customer and authenticates delivery by comparing the sensed data with delivery agent profiles.
