US Patent 10467836 Smart storage locker for mobile devices

A smart storage locker can be used to store an individual's mobile device while the individual is at work, school or another location where mobile devices should be restricted. The smart storage locker will therefore prevent the individual from carrying his or her mobile device while in such restricted environments. In addition to storing mobile devices, the smart storage locker can also be configured to automatically detect an individual's identity when the individual's mobile device is secured within the smart storage locker. This detection can then be employed to track when the individual is present at a particular location while not having access to, and therefore not using, his or her mobile device.
