Patent attributes
A mobile locker system is provided having a security mechanism permitting an agent to access the locker parked at a temporary product exchange station, and an exchange mechanism directing the agent to the station location. The agent can be a delivery agent inserting the product into the locker or a receiving agent removing the product from the locker. The locker may be attached to a mobile platform, such as an automotive vehicle. A communications subsystem transmits an identifier associated with the agent accessing the locker, an identifier associated with the locker, and the geographic location of the locker to a server. An ordering mechanism accepts product orders, product exchange station location requests, or both, from a receiving agent, and has an interface to supply the ordered product to a delivery exchange mechanism. A receiving exchange mechanism passes the locker information to the receiving agent.
