  • Patent number: 12091250
    Abstract: A parcel station including a housing having a front cover which is slidable along at least one side of the housing which further includes a plurality of segments, and wherein the front cover is configured so that two neighboring segments among the plurality of segments are separable from each other to form an opening in the front; and a plurality of storage plates, which are arranged one above the other in the interior space of the housing with respect to planar extensions thereof and which is movable in a direction perpendicular to the planar extensions and in the upper direction and/or the lower direction, wherein the opening extends between at least two neighboring storage plates among the plurality of storage plates and at current positions thereof.

  • Patent number: 10059255
    Abstract: A method includes: establishing a wireless communication session with a mobile device of a user and a vehicle control unit equipped in a vehicle; receiving a sequence of vehicle light control signals transmitted from the mobile device defining activation periods during which a vehicle light of the vehicle is to be activated alternating with deactivation periods during which the vehicle light is to be deactivated; and controlling the vehicle light in synchronization with the sequence of vehicle light control signals while the sequence of vehicle light control signals is being received. The controlling of the vehicle light includes: continuously transmitting activation signals to the vehicle control unit to activate the vehicle light during each of the activation periods; and refraining from transmitting the activation signals to the vehicle control unit to deactivate the vehicle light during each of the deactivation periods.
