US 10,652,356 B1 · System and method to deliver an electronic document over a data network

Abstract

A delivery system securely delivers an electronic document from a sender device to a recipient device over a data network, where the delivery system stores a delivery container from the sender device containing the electronic document, a recipient identity of the recipient device, a plurality of locations comprising a first location and a second location. The delivery system determines a first current geo-physical location of the delivery storage, compares the first current geo-physical location with the first location, and in response to a match, stores the delivery container in the delivery storage. The delivery system further receives a request to access the electronic document from the recipient device, obtains a second current geo-physical location of the recipient device, compares the second current geo-physical location with the second location, and in response to a match, sends the electronic document to the recipient device.

Dependent claims

A method for secure delivery of an electronic document from a sender device to a recipient device over a data network by a delivery system, comprising:

(a) storing in a delivery storage, by the delivery system, a delivery container received from the sender device, the delivery container comprising the electronic document, a recipient identity of the recipient device, a plurality of locations comprising a first location and a second location, wherein the storing comprises:
(a1) determining a first current geo-physical location of the delivery storage;
(a2) comparing the first current geo-physical location with the first location;
and
(a3) in response to the first current geo-physical location matching the first location, storing the delivery container in the delivery storage;
(b) receiving, by the delivery system, a request to access the electronic document from the recipient device;
(c) obtaining, by the delivery system, a second current geo-physical location of the recipient device;
(d) comparing, by the delivery system, the second current geo-physical location with the second location;
and
(e) in response to the second current geo-physical location matching the second location, sending, by the delivery system, the electronic document to the recipient device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code embodied therein for secure delivery of an electronic document from a sender device to a recipient device over a data network, wherein when executed by a processor module causes the processor module to:

(a) store in a delivery storage a delivery container received from the sender device, the delivery container comprising the electronic document, a recipient identity of the recipient device, a plurality of locations comprising a first location and a second location, wherein the storing comprises:
(a1) determine a first current geo-physical location of the delivery storage;
(a2) compare the first current geo-physical location with the first location;
and
(a3) in response to the first current geo-physical location matching the first location, store the delivery container in the delivery storage;
(b) receive a request to access the electronic document from the recipient device;
(c) obtain a second current geo-physical location of the recipient device;
(d) compare the second current geo-physical location with the second location;
and
(e) in response to the second current geo-physical location matching the second location, send the electronic document to the recipient device.
