An apparatus to provide a portable securement of valuables, the apparatus comprising:
- a container defining at least one interior compartment and an access panel that can transition between a closed state thereby preventing access to the interior compartment and an open state thereby granting access to the interior compartment;
- a controller mounted within the interior of the container and comprising a processing unit, memory and an interface component communicatively coupled to each other;
- a global positioning system (“GPS”) receiver mounted within the interior of the container and communicatively coupled to the controller, wherein the GPS receiver can provide a current location of the apparatus to the controller;
- a display mounted on the exterior of the container and communicatively coupled to the controller;
- a user interface mounted on the exterior of the container and communicatively coupled to the controller, the user interface configured to receive a PIN and control input from a user;
- a lock motor, communicatively coupled to the controller and configured to actuate a locking mechanism to a first state to secure the access panel in a closed position and to a second state to allow the access panel to be opened;
- a charging port for charging a mobile device;
- and
- a communication module associated with the container and communicatively coupled to the controller, the communication module including a wireless transceiver for communicating the current status of a locking mechanism and the current location to external devices.
