System and method for delivering a package

A system for delivering a package, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory device coupled to the at least one processor and storing computer-usable program code for execution on the at least one processor,
• the computer-usable program code comprising:
• computer-usable program code to obtain an access code configured to enable access to an enclosure;
• an enclosure comprising a door;
• the door comprising an access code input device comprising a tilt plate comprising a front side touch surface, a raised pivot on the backside of the tilt plate, and a plurality of spring loaded switches mounted along the periphery of the back side of the tilt plate and electronic equipment mounted on the back side thereof such that an access code is entered by pressing along the periphery of the front side of the touch plate;
• a mechanism for opening and closing the door and a controller, the controller being in communication with the access code input device proximate the door comprising an access code reader for controlling the mechanism;
• a package comprising a delivery label attached to the package comprising an access code comprising dimensions for the package to be delivered;
• the access code further comprising instructions to partially move the door only for an amount of time needed to partially open the door from a closed position or partially close the door from an open position according to the dimensions of the package to only allow passage of the package;
• presenting the package delivery label to the access code reader or entering the access code using the input access code device, and
• partially opening or closing the door only to allow passage of the package, delivering the package through the door opening, and closing the door.

A computer program product for enabling access to an enclosure, comprising:

• a computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-usable program code embodied therein,
• the computer-usable program code comprising an access code for allowing access to the enclosure;
• the enclosure comprising a door;
• the door comprising an access code input device comprising a tilt plate comprising a front side touch surface, a raised pivot on the backside of the tilt plate, and a plurality of spring loaded switches mounted along the periphery of the back side of the tilt plate and electronic equipment mounted on the back side thereof such that an access code is entered by pressing along the periphery of the front side of the touch plate;
• the enclosure further comprising a mechanism for opening and closing the door and a controller proximate the door, the controller being in communication with the access code input device proximate the door comprising an access code reader for controlling the mechanism;
• a package comprising a delivery label attached to the package comprising an access code comprising dimensions for the package to be delivered;
• the access code further comprising instructions to partially move the door only for an amount of time needed to partially open the door from a fully closed position or partially close the door from a fully open position according to the dimensions of the package to only allow passage of the package;
• presenting the package delivery label to the access code reader or entering the access code using the input access code device, and
• partially opening the door only to allow passage of the package, delivering the package through the door opening, and closing the door.
