Abstract
A method is disclosed. The method includes causing the opening of a lockable measuring module. The method includes obtaining at least one measurement parameter of a shipment deposited in the measuring module. The method includes providing, at least partially based on the obtained at least one measurement parameter, measurement information. The measurement information represents at least one weight and/or size of the shipment deposited in the measuring module. The at least one shipping option for shipping the shipment is determined at least partially based on the provided measurement information.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- causing the opening of a lockable measuring module;
- obtaining at least one measurement parameter of a shipment deposited in the measuring module;
- and
- providing, at least partially based on the obtained at least one measurement parameter, measurement information, wherein the measurement information represents at least one weight and/or size of the shipment deposited in the measuring module, and wherein at least one shipping option for shipping the shipment is determined at least partially based on the provided measurement information.
A method comprising:
- obtaining at least one measurement information, wherein the measurement information represents at least one weight and/or size of a shipment deposited in a lockable measuring module;
- and
- determining, at least partially based on the obtained measurement information, at least one shipping option for shipping the shipment.
A system comprising:
- a first apparatus configured to perform and/or control a first method comprising:
- causing the opening of a lockable measuring module;
- obtaining at least one measurement parameter of a shipment deposited in the measuring module;
- and
- providing, at least partially based on the obtained at least one measurement parameter, measurement information, wherein the measurement information represents at least one weight and/or size of the shipment deposited in the measuring module, and wherein at least one shipping option for shipping the shipment is determined at least partially based on the provided measurement information;
- or comprising respective means for performing and/or controlling the steps of the first method;
- and
- a second apparatus configured to perform and/or control a second method comprising:
- obtaining at least one measurement information, wherein the measurement information represents at least one weight and/or size of a shipment deposited in a lockable measuring module;
- and
- determining, at least partially based on the obtained measurement information, at least one shipping option for shipping the shipment;
- or the second apparatus comprising respective means for performing and/or controlling the steps of the second method.
