LIMITED ACCESS AND TEMPERATURE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a delivery box with computer-controlled access for allowing pre-authorized delivery of items to the box without the physical presence of the recipient.
2. Description of the Prior Art U.S. Patent No. 5,979,750 issued to Kindell on November 9, 1999 discloses a computerized delivery-acceptance system which comprises a delivery box having a computer-control input door for selective access by the delivery personnel. The delivery box also has an outlet door which is in selective communication with a room distinct from that where the input door is accessible, the delivery box being, for instance, mounted on an outside wall of a dwelling such that its input door is accessible by the delivery personnel on the outside of the dwelling, whereas the outlet door is accessible, for example by an occupant of the dwelling, from the inside of the dwelling. The input door has a lock that can be unlocked by computer-controlled recognition of access authorization for allowing the delivery personnel to place items in the delivery box. Thereafter, the input door is closed and locks automatically. The outlet door can then be opened for receiving the delivered items. The delivery box is thus a safe entity which is separate from the dwelling which thus remains unaccessible to the delivery personnel. Various computerized recognition systems are suggested to authorize the delivery of the items to the delivery box. The programming of i the delivery box can be achieved locally or remotely.
The access code to open the input door can be a bar code, a universal product code or infrared code, a physical object such as a key, a magnetic strip, etc.
A timed delete can be programmed into the computer-controllable lock. Also, an automatic delete can be programmed so that there is a only a single access to the inside of the delivery door by a given delivery personnel. If the delivery box is itself a room in the dwelling, the computer-controllable lock is positioned on an outside wall of the dwelling for selective access to the delivery room. Such a delivery room can also have an outlet door in selective communication with other parts of the dwelling. Within the delivery room, there may be various other compartments, such as a refrigerated unit.
U.S. Patent No. 5,624,071 issued on April 29, 1997 to Sosan discloses an apparatus for receiving packages in absentia using a delivery box which is temporarily suspended from a door of the dwelling. A combination lock permits the delivery personnel to open and deposit packages in the delivery box. The delivery box can only be removed from the door, for instance, by first opening the door, and which is thus only possible by the dwelling's occupant and not by the delivery personnel as the door itself is locked. The lock may incorporate a key hole as well as a code lock. A
padlock may also be used.
Japanese Publications No. JP6-100081-A
dated April 12, 1994 and No. JP5-124695-A dated May 21, 1993 are similar to U.S. Patent No. 5,624,071 with the former Japanese Publication showing an electric lock having a numeric keypad.
Japanese Publication No. JP6-100080-A dated April 12, 1994 discloses a further delivery box characterized, for instance, by providing sensors to detect if the merchandise has been delivered to the delivery box thereby preventing a second access to the delivery box with a same ID information.
Japanese Publication No. JP5-201489-A dated August 10, 1993 discloses a further delivery management system.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
With reference now mainly to Fig. 1, there is shown a dwelling D and a computer-controlled goods containing unit U in accordance with the present invention. The goods containing unit U constitutes a new merchandise exchange/delivery system intended for this busy day and age. More particularly, the goods containing unit U is in the form of a housing 10 which is lockable by way of a lock which can be opened with a programmable code (see access control panel 12 ) such that a door 14 can be opened and thus that merchandise can be delivered to and/or picked up from the housing 10 by a third party to~which a temporary code has been given by the owner (or possibly leasee) of the unit U; thus, the owner does not, for instance, need to be at home for goods to be delivered to him, or to be picked up from him.
The housing 10 also typically includes a temperature control which can be adjusted/programmed in view of the merchandise held thereby for pick up, or to be held thereby after delivery thereto. The unit U could, for example, be programmed by its owner to have a room temperature for the first half of the day as its housing 10 will hold a computer for pick up, and then to assume a lower temperature for the rest of the day as groceries are to be delivered thereto in the afternoon. As seen in Figs. 3 and 4, the housing 10 includes a refrigeration/heating system 16 to provide a desired draft 18 of cool/cold or warm/hot air to the inside of the housing 10. The unit U can include a system to prevent/reduce temperature losses when the housing's door 14 is open, such as a ventilation air curtain 20 extending across the door opening to deviate at least part of the outside air (as per, for instance, arrows 22 in Fig. 4) and which is triggered by the opening of the door 14; such a system is economical and also prevents substantially important temperature and/or humidity fluctuations on the goods located in the housing 10.
The system can be designed to be a single unit located outside the home (Fig. 1) or a multiple unit U' for use inside (or outside) an apartment or condo dwelling (Fig. 5). The system can be programmed on the panel 12 provided on the unit U or remotely using a telephone modem, an Internet modem, or any other communication means, existing or other.
The unit's programmable electronic system is used to control the access to the inside of the housing 10, to control the inside temperature of the housing 10, to possibly recognize the nature of the goods in the housing 10. The~electronic system would be connected via modem, or the like, to other concerned parties, such as clients, suppliers, and even possibly to an eventual service center acting as an intermediate, e.g. broker-like, between clients and suppliers.
The unit U can even be provided with means to exchange currency, such as a credit card payment module for allowing payment at the unit U by a party buying the goods located therein, whereby the housing 10 would only unlock if the appropriate code is entered by the buyer of the goods and if the buyer electronically pays for these goods at the unit's payment module.
The present system could be used for perishable products, frozen products, prescription drugs, parcels, purchased goods (e. g. clothes), videos, airline tickets, registered mail, etc. The system allows for such exchanges of goods at hours where the unit's owner is not present, or even during the night while he/she is asleep.
The unit U is electrically connected to the dwelling D using, for instance, underground cables 24 but a wireless communication means could also be used.
Obviously, the temperature could be controlled without a programmable feature, wherein the temperature would be set for instance, by way of a thermostat such as to provide in the housing 10 a desired temperature. Such a thermostat could be a programmable unit such that various temperatures could be programmed on site for various events occurring during the day or week. Preferably, again, the refrigeration/heating system could be controlled by computer remotely, for instance from the dwelling D or from a completely different location with the access to the programmability of the refrigeration/heating system 16 being limited to the owner/leasee of the goods containing unit U.
Obviously, for outdoor use, the unit U
would be firmly anchored to the ground using, for instance, a concrete base 26.
Other systems to limit the heat transfers between the inside and the outside of the housing 10 then the herein proposed air curtain 20 may be used.
Such a system may also limit the humidity transfers.
It is noted that the unit U is designed to be transportable for use at a different location of the dwelling D or for use at a new dwelling.
The present system is thus well adapted to E-commerce .
For multiple units such as the unit U' shown in Fig. 5, the refrigeration/heating systems 16 would be separate for each housing 10 such that each owner/leasee can program his unit to his/her needs.
If the goods containing unit U or U' is located in the dwelling D/D', then there may be only a cooling system, that is without heating capabilities.
The system can be designed to be a single unit located outside the home (Fig. 1) or a multiple unit U' for use inside (or outside) an apartment or condo dwelling (Fig. 5). The system can be programmed on the panel 12 provided on the unit U or remotely using a telephone modem, an Internet modem, or any other communication means, existing or other.
The unit's programmable electronic system is used to control the access to the inside of the housing 10, to control the inside temperature of the housing 10, to possibly recognize the nature of the goods in the housing 10. The~electronic system would be connected via modem, or the like, to other concerned parties, such as clients, suppliers, and even possibly to an eventual service center acting as an intermediate, e.g. broker-like, between clients and suppliers.
The unit U can even be provided with means to exchange currency, such as a credit card payment module for allowing payment at the unit U by a party buying the goods located therein, whereby the housing 10 would only unlock if the appropriate code is entered by the buyer of the goods and if the buyer electronically pays for these goods at the unit's payment module.
The present system could be used for perishable products, frozen products, prescription drugs, parcels, purchased goods (e. g. clothes), videos, airline tickets, registered mail, etc. The system allows for such exchanges of goods at hours where the unit's owner is not present, or even during the night while he/she is asleep.
The unit U is electrically connected to the dwelling D using, for instance, underground cables 24 but a wireless communication means could also be used.
Obviously, the temperature could be controlled without a programmable feature, wherein the temperature would be set for instance, by way of a thermostat such as to provide in the housing 10 a desired temperature. Such a thermostat could be a programmable unit such that various temperatures could be programmed on site for various events occurring during the day or week. Preferably, again, the refrigeration/heating system could be controlled by computer remotely, for instance from the dwelling D or from a completely different location with the access to the programmability of the refrigeration/heating system 16 being limited to the owner/leasee of the goods containing unit U.
Obviously, for outdoor use, the unit U
would be firmly anchored to the ground using, for instance, a concrete base 26.
Other systems to limit the heat transfers between the inside and the outside of the housing 10 then the herein proposed air curtain 20 may be used.
Such a system may also limit the humidity transfers.
It is noted that the unit U is designed to be transportable for use at a different location of the dwelling D or for use at a new dwelling.
The present system is thus well adapted to E-commerce .
For multiple units such as the unit U' shown in Fig. 5, the refrigeration/heating systems 16 would be separate for each housing 10 such that each owner/leasee can program his unit to his/her needs.
If the goods containing unit U or U' is located in the dwelling D/D', then there may be only a cooling system, that is without heating capabilities.
