SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING PACKING INVENTORY SENSING AND MANAGEMENT OF A SUPPLY COMPARTMENT FOR A STORAGE RECEPTACLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240245248 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING PACKING INVENTORY SENSING AND MANAGEMENT OF A SUPPLY COMPARTMENT FOR A STORAGE RECEPTACLE
The package deposit enclosure described in the patent application is a public use device powered by a storage battery and photovoltaic cell array. This innovative design allows the enclosure to be placed in locations without access to power, but with high human traffic.
- Efficient storage battery and photovoltaic cell array power the package deposit enclosure.
- Suitable for locations without power but with frequent human traffic.
- Sensing and wireless data communication features reduce the frequency of emptying the unit.
- Wireless communication enables real-time information access for users.
- On-board power enables additional functions like lighting and audio to enhance device functionality.
Potential Applications: - Public spaces such as parks, shopping centers, and transportation hubs. - Residential areas for package delivery and pickup. - Commercial buildings for secure package storage.
Problems Solved: - Lack of power sources in high-traffic areas for package deposit enclosures. - Inefficient emptying schedules for traditional package delivery enclosures.
Benefits: - Environmentally friendly with solar power. - Cost-effective operation with reduced maintenance needs. - Enhanced user experience with real-time information access.
Commercial Applications: Title: Solar-Powered Package Deposit Enclosures for Public Use This technology can be used by logistics companies, e-commerce platforms, and property management companies to provide secure and convenient package storage solutions in various settings.
Questions about Solar-Powered Package Deposit Enclosures: 1. How does the sensing feature in the enclosure contribute to its efficiency? The sensing feature helps optimize the emptying schedule by detecting the fill level of the enclosure, reducing unnecessary trips for maintenance.
2. What are the advantages of using a storage battery and photovoltaic cell array in this technology? The storage battery and photovoltaic cell array provide a sustainable power source, allowing the enclosure to function in locations without access to traditional power grids.
Original Abstract Submitted
a package deposit enclosure designed for public use is powered by an efficient storage battery and photovoltaic cell array. these unique features allow the package deposit enclosure to be placed in locations where no power is available, but where there is frequent human traffic. sensing and wireless data communication features allow the unit to be emptied less often than typical package delivery enclosures. wireless communication also allows users' access to real-time information. on board power enables other functions, such as lighting and audio, to enhance device functionality.
