Abstract: A method and system are provided in which information about a barcode on a package is received or more generally, information placed on a package by a delivery service (such as a barcode or other code) is detected. Characteristics of the information or code are extracted. The characteristics of the information or code are compared to characteristics of information or code associated with acceptable delivery services. If the characteristics of the code or information on the package correspond to characteristics of the information or code used by an acceptable delivery service, a locked area is unlocked to allow the package to be delivered. In other embodiments, other types of markings may be placed on the package by the delivery service, and the storage system may check whether those markings have, or information has, the characteristics of an acceptable delivery service.

Abstract: A system and a method for controlling a lock for a storage room are provided. In an embodiment, a request for opening a door is received and verified. If the request is approved, signals are sent to open the electronic lock that locks the door. If the request is rejected, a message is sent to notify the user of the invalid request. In some embodiments, the storage room is of a size for accepting small, medium, large, and oversized packages. In some embodiments, the storage room will open without determining an availability of storage space based on the size of the package.

Abstract: A system and a method for controlling a plurality of electronic locks are provided. In an embodiment, a request for opening a door is received and verified. If the request is approved, signals are sent to open the electronic lock that locks the door. If the request is rejected, a message is sent to notify the user of the invalid request.

Abstract: In an embodiment, articles such as items are left in storage areas in a storage bank by delivery service. A delivery service selects the intended recipient from a list of intended recipients. If the intended recipient is not found on the list, information about the intended recipient (e.g. a photo of the mailing label or other information) is entered into the system, and a message having the information is left in a house account. In response, a message is received having additional information about the intended recipient, which is used to contact the intended recipient and request the intended recipient to pick up the item.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for identifying indirect user feedback and providing content such as item descriptions based on the indirect user feedback. An indirect feedback system may receive sensed data such as images or audio and identify indicators of indirect feedback for the subject shown, heard, or otherwise detected in the sensed data. For example, a user's facial expression and/or body language can provide indirect feedback as to how the user is feeling (e.g., mood). Based on the detected mood, features for suggesting additional items that should appeal to the user are described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a disposable article to prevent the misuse of a transdermal dosage form (FIG. 1(a)). The article is comprised of an outer layer (1) having an inner layer-facing side and an opposite side; an inner layer (3) having an outer layer-facing side and an opposite side, the inner layer (3) joined to the outer layer (1) to form one or more closed material reservoir (2) between the outer layer-facing side of the inner layer (2) and the inner layer-facing side of the outer layer (1); and adhesive (4) covering a first portion of the opposite side of the inner layer (3), wherein the adhesive (4) is a heat activated adhesive that changes color and/or is activated when the article is subjected to elevated temperatures, thereby sealing the transdermal dosage form within the article.

Abstract: In an embodiment, articles are left in storage areas, such as lockers or other receptacles that may be associated with a household services company. A divided storage receptacle is discussed. The receptacle is divided by an angled plane such that the top portion may be used to hang clothes of various lengths thereby utilizing the space efficiently.

Abstract: In an embodiment, articles are left in storage areas, such as lockers or other receptacles, which may be associated with a household services company. In an embodiment, after depositing the articles in the storage area the articles are associated with the user by the household services company based on a claim by a user of using the storage area and/or tags associated with the articles.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for gathering various types of data using a mobile device and organizing such data. Images of text documents can be collected on a mobile device and conveyed to an analysis module for optical character recognition and parsing to categorize and/or classify items of the data. The parsed data items can be entered into a database based on any categories, classifications, identifiers and/or instructions corresponding to the data. Further, image data, text file data, and manually entered data can be conveyed and stored in the database according to categories, classifications, identifiers and/or instructions corresponding to the data to provide for an organized, searchable collection of data.
