Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a system for access to an unattended storage device is described. The system includes a first transmitter for placing an order for an item with a merchant; a second transmitter for transmitting a request for a pick-up of the item; a tracking information generator for generating tracking information in response to a request for a pick-up of the item; a transceiver for receiving and transmitting the tracking information; a memory for storing the tracking information; a third transmitter for transmitting the tracking information to a storage device a comparator for comparing the tracking information transmitted to the storage device to the tracking information stored in the memory; and a digital signature generator for creating a digital signature. In another embodiment of the present invention, a method of providing remote access to a storage device is described.

Abstract: A skin-contact type terminal system includes a thermoelectric module for cooling or heating in accordance with a polarity of current provided from the skin-contact type terminal, with the temperature of cooling or heating being adjusted according to a level of a voltage provided thereto, and being controlled to maintain its cooling or heating operation for a predetermined time. A control unit senses generation of an alert request signal, supplies the voltage to the thermoelectric module in accordance with the sensed alert request signal so that the thermoelectric module cools or heats in accordance with the predetermined cooling or heating temperature. The control unit controls the thermoelectric module to maintain its cooling or heating operation for the predetermined time.
