Abstract: An unmanned battery optimization vehicle includes a transceiver, a battery optimization apparatus, and a control circuit. The transceiver is configured to transmit and receive signals. The battery optimization apparatus is configured to interact with a battery disposed at an unmanned autonomous vehicle. The control circuit is coupled to the transceiver and the battery optimization apparatus. The control circuit is configured to cause the unmanned battery optimization vehicle to independently navigate and travel to a present location of the autonomous vehicle based at least in part upon the signals received at the transceiver. When the unmanned battery optimization vehicle reaches the present location of the unmanned autonomous vehicle, the control circuit is further configured to direct the battery optimization apparatus to engage in an interaction with the battery at the unmanned autonomous vehicle. The interaction is effective to optimize battery operation at the unmanned autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: An enterprise-accessible customer locker is physically located at a first customer's address. A control circuit can be configured to select products (including unordered products if desired) for a first customer to be placed in the aforementioned enterprise-accessible customer locker. The control circuit can also be configured to determine a need to deliver a particular product to a second customer who is physically discrete from the aforementioned first customer's address. The control circuit can then be further configured to arrange to transfer the particular product from the first customer's enterprise-accessible customer locker to the second customer at a delivery address corresponding to the second customer. By one approach, the foregoing can include a consideration of whether the particular product is in fact available at the first customer's enterprise-accessible customer locker and/or what the relevant timeframe is for when the first customer may in fact need the particular product.
