  • Package delivery notification and protection device, system and method
    Patent number: 9786141
    Abstract: A package delivery notification and protection device includes a package sensor including a placement surface. The package sensor is configured to generate a sensor signal indicating whether a package has been placed on or removed from the placement surface. Wireless communications circuitry is configured to communicate over a wireless network and processing circuitry is coupled to the package sensor and to the wireless communications circuitry to communicate over the wireless network. The processing circuitry is configured to send a delivery notification over the wireless network responsive to the sensor signal indicating a package has been placed on the placement surface. The package delivery notification and protection device may include and alarm that the processing circuitry activates upon unauthorized removal of a delivered package from the placement surface.
