Abstract: A package may have a sensor that detects the opening of the package. Upon detecting the opening of the package, a device associated with the sensor transmits a signal to a web server. The web server may take various actions in response to the receipt of the signal. In addition, a package may have a lock that prevents the package from readily being opened until a preset time. In addition, the package may be equipped with a device capable of automatically opening the cover of the package upon being unlocked.

Abstract: A platform for supporting telephone network applications includes Network Interface Units (NIU) for interfacing between the telephone network and the platform. A disk storage system stores voice messages to be sent over the network and voice messages received from the network. Voice messages are conveyed between the NIUs and the disk storage system by Voice Interface Modules (VIM). The platform is installed on a general purpose digital computer and includes an Applications Interface Module (AIM) responsive to an AIM command set including: SEND VOICE MESSAGE, CONNECT CALL, COLLECT DIGITS, INITIATE CALL, TERMINATE CALL, GET MESSAGE NUMBERS and PIVOT CALL. In response to SEND VOICE MESSAGE, a designated message stored on the disk system is sent to the network via the VIM. SEND VOICE MESSAGE has a RECEIVE VOICE MESSAGE option whereby a message is received from the network after the SEND data is transmitted and stored on disk.
