Abstract: A mobile device storage and tracking system includes a mobile device storage unit having a housing and a plurality of storage spaces. Responsive to a user input that is indicative of a particular user, a control positions a respective storage space at a door, whereby the user can store a mobile device at that respective storage space. After the user stores the mobile device at that respective storage space, the door is closed. When that user again provides the user input, the control positions the respective storage space at the door and the user can access the mobile device at that respective storage space. The control monitors and records, for each particular user during a work shift, the amount of time that the particular user's mobile device is at the storage space and the amount of time that the particular user's mobile device has been removed from the storage space.

Abstract: A mobile device storage and tracking system includes a housing and a carousel disposed in the housing and having a plurality of storage spaces. Responsive to a user input that is indicative of a particular user, a control rotates the carousel to position a selected storage space at a door and unlocks the door, whereby the particular user can store a mobile device at that selected storage space. After the user stores the mobile device at that selected storage space, the control closes and locks the door. When the particular user again provides the user input, the control unlocks the door and rotates the carousel to position the selected storage space at the door. The control is operable to track, for each particular user, when the particular user's mobile device is at the carousel and when the particular user's mobile device has been removed from the carousel.
