Abstract: A lock box includes a front shell, a rear shell, and a padlock retention clasp. The rear shell is interlockable with the front shell to move the lock box from an open lock box position to a closed lock box position. The padlock retention clasp is cooperatively formed from the front shell and the rear shell. The padlock retention clasp is configured to admit a padlock body between the front shell and the rear shell in the open lock box position and to retain the padlock body between the front shell and the rear shell in the closed lock box position. The padlock retention clasp is further configured to prevent opening of the lock box while a shackle of the padlock is locked into the padlock body and the padlock body is retained between the front shell and the rear shell in the closed lock box position.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides various systems and methods for providing enhanced messaging features. An exemplary method for providing a predictive response messaging feature includes receiving a message from a first device (108) at a second device (110) and analyzing the message to determine at least one response option based upon the content of the message. After determining at least one response option, the at least one response option can be presented on a display (202) of the second device (110). A called party can make a selection of one of the at least one response options and the selection can be received on the second device (110). The selection can trigger the creation of a response message based upon the selected response option and the response message can be sent to the first device (108). Other methods and systems are described.

Abstract: A system for delayed message delivery can include an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network that is in communication with at least one of a first user equipment and a second user equipment, and a message application server. The message application server can be configured to receive a message sent from the first user equipment, store the message temporarily in accordance with a time parameter, and send the message to a gateway when the time parameter is satisfied. The gateway can be configured to receive a message formatted in accordance with a first protocol used by the IMS network and convert the message into a format in accordance with a second protocol used by a message center. The message center can be configured to receive the message formatted in accordance with the second protocol and forward the message to the second user equipment. Other systems for delayed message delivery and corresponding methods are disclosed.
