More Information
Summary:A method includes receiving a parcel identifier from a sensor, transmitting a reporting message to a remote server, and transmitting an authentication message to a local wireless receiver. The reporting message includes first information associated with the parcel identifier and the authentication message includes second information associated with the parcel identifier. Transmitting the reporting message and the authentication message may be performed automatically in response to receipt of the parcel identifier. A parcel receptacle includes a compartment, a lid, a lock mechanism, a wireless communication module, and a controller. The controller is configured to periodically transmit a beacon signal, receive an authentication message including a parcel identifier from a delivery driver device, compare the parcel identifier to one or more stored codes, and in response to determining the parcel identifier matches at least one of the one or more stored codes, send an unlock instruction signal to the lock mechanism.
