    Abstract: A server capable of connecting in a wired or wireless manner to a storage apparatus that stores a package delivered to a recipient, and an other electronic device, includes a communication unit, a storage unit, and a controller. The communication unit communicates with the storage apparatus and the other electronic device. The storage unit stores first information indicating a home probability of the recipient of the package. The controller controls the communication unit such that the first information stored in the storage unit and second information that is acquired from the storage apparatus and that indicates an availability of the storage apparatus are sent to the other electronic device in response to a request from the other electronic device, received by the communication unit.

  • Publication number: 20210279649
    Abstract: A system includes a server, a company terminal for use by a delivery company, a recipient terminal for use by a recipient of a package, and a storage device including a container to store the package. When the storage device is selected, by the delivery company on the company terminal, to reserve the container, the delivery terminal transmits a request to reserve the container to the server. When the storage device receives the request from the server, the storage device reserves the container and transmits a notification indicating that the container is reserved to the server. When the server receives the notification, the server transmits information indicating that the container is reserved to the recipient terminal. When the recipient terminal receives the information indicating that the container is reserved from the server, the recipient terminal displays the information indicating that the container is reserved on the recipient terminal.

  • Patent number: 9451069
    Abstract: A mobile terminal device and methods are disclosed. A display module is provided on a first surface of the casing. A first detection module is provided to cover the display module and detects a user's operation. A second detection module is provided on a second surface opposed to the first surface and detects a user's operation. A lock control module sets a lock function for preventing the user's wrong operation. The lock control module releases the setting of the lock function, if the lock function is set and if the first detection module has detected a first operation. The lock control module releases the setting of the lock function, if the lock function is set and if the second detection module has detected a second operation.
