Appeal 2007-2110 Application 10/223,408 points to the interior of a locker, providing alarm and monitoring functions, providing locking mechanisms, and any other specialized security features and functions which may be desired based upon the characteristics of goods to be stored in the locker, the location of the locker, the time of day, the frequency of use of the locker, or any other variable (Moreno, col. 5, ll. 11-20). 9. Another example of a security feature supported by the lockers 120 is the use of remotely or automatically controlled locks 118 (Moreno, col. 5, ll. 33- 35). 10. A customer may access a locker 120, upon entry of the appropriate access code (Moreno, col. 6, ll. 66-67). 11. The system may also be configured to monitor and/or control environmental conditions, safety and security features, and perform other functions. For example, the storage unit 200 may be equipped with fire suppression systems, fire alarms, smoke detectors, video monitors (for example, web cameras), and/or burglar or intrusion alarms (Moreno, col. 7, ll. 59-65). 12. Fig. 4 illustrates a process by which a customer may utilize the system according to an embodiment of Moreno. The process begins when a customer registers with a service provider and obtains a password, username and access code (Block 402) (Moreno, col. 12, ll. 27-31). 13. Once the customer has registered with the service provider, the process continues with the customer placing an order with the service provider (Block 404) (Moreno, col. 12, ll. 44-46). 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Next
