System and Methods for Smart and Secure Package Receivers

Abstract

A smart and secured system to receive packages from online shopping; automatically download list of incoming packages from one or multiple linked online-shopping accounts; provide navigational support to postal carriers and/or autonomous delivery; print receipts for validation; send encrypted confirmation to home-owners when any packages arrives; and implement an a. The system compromises of a secure box with a magnetic lock to store packages; a control circuitry, mini thermal printer and embedded processor to recognize and validate the arrived packages; a radio-frequency transceiver to wirelessly communicate with other electronic devices to notice information of the packages; and global positioning system (GPS) tracking tags for anti-theft protection. The software application operating on the electronic devices including but not limited to smartphones, smartwatches, tablets and/or computers allows to receive notifications from the smart receiver, and establish real-time communication between the home-owners and the postal carriers. The GPS tracking tags are used to support un-maned delivery with drones and track the location of the packages. The system powered by solar energy is portable and easy to be installed. The smart and secure receiver that is able to automatically realize the packages, hold the packages, print the electronic receipts for endorsement and send notifications to the home-owners could eliminate the need of the receiver's presence during delivery.
