Abstract

A storage container operable to be suspended from a structure is disclosed. The storage container includes a housing having a plurality of sides configured to provide an enclosed space configured to store one or more packages. The storage container includes a first opening on a bottom portion comprising a platform configured to be lowered to receive the one or more packages. The storage container includes a top opening configured to open to receive the one or packages, and close to secure the one or more packages. The storage container includes a transceiver configured to send and receive one or more messages or signals from a user equipment (UE). The storage container includes a locking device configured to lock each of the bottom opening and the top opening.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A storage container operable to be suspended from a structure, comprising:
 a housing having a plurality of sides configured to provide an enclosed space configured to store one or more packages;   a first opening on a bottom portion comprising a platform configured to be lowered to receive the one or more packages;   a top opening configured to open to receive the one or packages, and close to secure the one or more packages;   a transceiver configured to send and receive one or more messages or signals from a user equipment (UE); and   a locking device configured to lock each of the bottom opening and the top opening.   
     
     
         2 . The storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the first opening is configured to move between an open position allowing access to the at least one compartment and a closed position that closes the opening thereby preventing access to the at least one compartment from the location exterior of the housing. 
     
     
         3 . The storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the locking device is integrated with the door or the housing, the locking mechanism. 
     
     
         4 . The storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the locking device is enabled to be digitally secured and configured to receive at least one of a lock signal and an unlock signal from one or more user equipment (UEs). 
     
     
         5 . The storage device of  claim 4 , wherein the locking device is enabled to be digitally secured with one or more of wireless communication or radio frequency identification comprising short-wavelength ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio waves enabled. 
     
     
         6 . The storage container of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a control system comprising a microprocessor and a memory accessible by the control system; and   instructions stored in the memory.   
     
     
         7 . The storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions stored in the memory comprises a plurality of instructions to receive a lock command and control the locking mechanism based on the lock command. 
     
     
         8 . The storage container or  claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is configured to:
 receive a first message from the UE, wherein the first message comprises of a request for access;   determine if the request for access matches a scheduled delivery;   send a second message to the UE, wherein the second message comprises of an approval, as a result of determining that the request for access matches the scheduled delivery; and   unlock the locking device, providing access to the enclosed space.   
     
     
         9 . The storage container of  claim 8 , wherein the first message further comprises a predetermined verification indicator. 
     
     
         10 . The storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the locking device is openable with a mechanical key, a combination code, an electronic signal, a key pad, a user equipment, a biometric scan via a biometric sensor or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The storage container of  claim 1 , configured to be mounted on a fixed structure via a u-mount. 
     
     
         12 . A storage container configured to receive aerial delivered packages comprising:
 a basket configured to retain one or more packages;   a middle section configured to retain one or more electronic devices;   a top configured to enclose the basket; and   a mounting device configured to securely position the at least the middle section and the top to a fixed structure.   
     
     
         13 . The storage container of  claim 12 , wherein the basket comprises of one or more containers or sections to organize one or more packages. 
     
     
         14 . The storage container of  claim 12 , wherein the middle section further comprises and electronic cover, the electronic cover configured to securely encapsulate the electronic devices. 
     
     
         15 . The storage container of  claim 12 , wherein the electronic devices comprise of one or more of a receiver, an actuator motor, a gear motor, and an illumination device. 
     
     
         16 . The storage container of  claim 12 , wherein the middle section further comprises a spool comprising a retaining cord, the retaining cord configured to be strung from the spool to each corner of the basket. 
     
     
         17 . The storage container of  claim 16 , wherein the basket is configured to be movable in an upward and downward direction about the retaining cord. 
     
     
         18 . The storage container of  claim 17 , wherein each of the middle section and the top remains secured to the u bracket on the fixed structure. 
     
     
         19 . The storage container of  claim 17 , wherein the basket is actuated in an upward direction and downward direction along the retaining cord strung in each corner of the basket by one or more of the gear motor or the actuator motor. 
     
     
         20 . The storage container of  claim 12 , further comprising a power source, configured to power each of the electronic devices.
