Abstract: A system for charging a plurality of worker devices for use by a plurality of users is disclosed. The system includes one or more charging stations, each charging station including a plurality of storage housings, one or more detection devices, and an identification device, and a controller. The controller is configured to selectively lock and unlock the plurality of worker devices in the plurality of storage housings of the one or more charging stations, electrically charge the plurality of worker devices when locked in the plurality of storage housings of the one or more charging stations, and validate an identity of the plurality of users with the identification device of the one or more charging stations when the plurality of users removes or returns the plurality of worker devices to the plurality of storage housings of the one or more charging stations.

Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes providing a door that selectively opens to allow access to a cavity and selectively closes to block access to the cavity, using a lock to selectively lock and unlock the door when the door is closed, and electrically charging a user device in the cavity when the door is closed and locked. The method also includes unlocking the door based on a first input provided by a first user, the first user removing the user device, electrically charging the user device in the cavity when the door is closed and locked after the first user returns the user device, and unlocking the door based on a second input provided by a second user, the second user removing the user device.

Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system has a housing, one or more compartments, each of the one or more compartments including a compartment door disposed at a first side of the housing, an operator door that selectively opens to allow access to a cavity that accesses the one or more compartments, and closes to block access to the one or more compartments, an electronic lock configured to selectively lock and unlock the operator door, the electronic lock including an operator interface, an ultraviolet lighting device disposed in at least one of the one or more compartments, computing memory having associated therewith code, and a processor communicatively coupled with the computing memory, configured to execute the code and to control the ultraviolet lighting device to selectively emit ultraviolet lighting in an interior of the at least one of the one or more compartments.

Abstract: A system for verifying the identity of a user is disclosed. The system has a door that selectively opens to allow access to a cavity and selectively closes to block access to the cavity, a lock configured to selectively lock and unlock the door when the door is closed, a camera configured to image a user area adjacent to the door, computing memory having associated therewith code, and a processor communicatively coupled with the computing memory. The processor communicatively coupled with the computing memory is configured to execute the code and to control the camera to record a first image data of the user area that includes a plurality of first image sets recorded at a plurality of first times, store the first image data, and control the camera to record a second image data of the user area that includes a second image set recorded at a second time.

Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system has a door that selectively opens to allow access to a cavity and selectively closes to block access to the cavity, an electronic lock configured to selectively lock and unlock the door when the door is closed, the electronic lock including a user interface, computing memory having associated therewith code, and a processor communicatively coupled with the computing memory. The processor is configured to execute the code and to: receive a random code from a random code generator, program the electronic lock to unlock the door when the random code is entered via the user interface, and transfer data of the random code to a device of a system user so that the data is used to enter the random code to the user interface of the electronic lock to unlock the door.

Abstract: Systems and methods for locating and providing public mobile device charging stations are disclosed. One or more charging stations may be configured to charge a battery of a mobile device. A database may be configured to store location information of the one or more charging stations as well as mobile device location and security credential information of the one or more respective mobile devices. A server communicatively coupled with the one or more charging stations and the database, may be configured to determine a proximity of the one or more charging stations to a location of the mobile device. This determination may be based on the station location information and the mobile device location information. Based on the determined proximity, provide the station location information of the respective one or more charging stations to the mobile device. The charging station further provides photo and/or video surveillance security to verify a user.
