Appeal 2007-2110
Application 10/223,408
3. Moreno discloses a system and method that allows a customer to
request delivery of goods from a vender, and coordinates the delivery of these
goods to a secure locker from which the goods can be retrieved by the customer
(Moreno, col. 1, ll. 12-15).
4. Vendors, delivery services, and customers are allowed to reserve
lockers in advance, from a remote location, for example via a wireless
communications device. By reserving the lockers, vendors and deliverers are
assured that a receptacle for delivering or receiving an order will be available on a
specific date, at a specific time, thereby eliminating the need to return to a location
because of a missed delivery (Moreno, col. 2, ll. 53-61).
5. The lockers 120 are connected to a controller 116, which via a server
102, controls the operation of and access to the lockers 120 (Moreno, col. 3, ll. 63-
65).
6. The controller 116 receives inputs/signals from a user verification
device 114 that are utilized to determine to whom, when, and where access to a
locker 120 is to be provided (Moreno, col. 3, l. 66 to col. 4, l. 3).
7. The system 100 permits any number, size, shape and type of locker to
be utilized. The determination as to which locker to provide in a given application
of the system 100 is based upon specific needs and wants (Moreno, col. 4, ll. 28-
32).
8. The locker 120 may include any security feature or function desired to
efficiently and securely store delivered goods. Such security features and
functions may includes, but are not limited to, providing public and secure access
