Abstract

The present utility model relates to a mailbox with an integrated QR code and applies to letterboxes, complaint and suggestion boxes, mail systems, complaint and suggestion systems, and continuous improvement systems The combination of two elements, a traditional mailbox and a QR code, creates a new generation of mailboxes that, while not capable of receiving physical paper, enable people to link to digital platforms by creating specific communication links and to use the options provided by technology and mobile devices to effectively and efficiently process data in real time. This takes place when the QR code is read with a mobile device, enabling access to a digital platform linked to the mailbox and on which it is possible to send messages, comments, complaints and suggestions, as well as attach files, audio files, videos, photographs, or any other multimedia element. At the same time, the emotional closeness evoked by traditional mailboxes is maintained.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mailbox with an integrated QR code which, when scanned with a mobile device, allows access to a digital platform linked to the mailbox, which allows for submission of messages, comments, complaints and suggestions with the ability to attach content whose type is selected from the group consisting of files, pictures, images, audio, video, and multimedia content; with a box whose purpose is to evoke the shape of a traditional mailbox, consisting of:
 a) A lid with a slot, whose purpose is to reference to the operation of a traditional mailbox;   b) A top front plate, whose purpose is to bear an inscription;   c) An inclined front face, and a vertical rear face; and   d) An empty space instead of the bottom face of the mailbox, whose purpose is to prevent deposit of paper slips inside, thus disallowing its use as a traditional mailbox.   
     
     
         2 . The mailbox with an integrated QR code of  claim 1 , with the following holding elements to place it on a wall or a base:
 a) Two supports mounted on the rear face of the mailbox, whose purpose is to allow the mailbox to be placed on a wall by hanging it from two fastening elements; and   b) A block on the rear face with a threaded hole, whose purpose is to allow the mailbox to be screwed to a base.   
     
     
         3 . The mailbox with an integrated QR code of  claim 2 , with a square plate with a QR code mounted on a support fixed to the rear face, whose purpose is to present a QR code which, when scanned with a mobile device, allows access to a digital platform linked to the mailbox, which allows for submission of messages, comments, complaints and suggestions with the ability to attach content whose type is selected from the group consisting of files, pictures, images, audio, video, and multimedia content.
