Abstract

A delivery device includes an image capture device for generating delivery image data of a delivery at a service address. A processor executes a delivery application to bidirectionally communicate delivery data with the delivery data server via the network interface, wherein the delivery data includes a delivery tracking number and the delivery image data. The delivery data server processes the delivery data to provide a delivery confirmation to a customer at the service address, wherein the delivery confirmation includes the delivery tracking number and the delivery image data.

Claims (26)

1. A system comprising:

a delivery device comprising:

a network interface for communicating via a network;

an image capture device for generating delivery image data of a delivery at a service address;

a memory that stores a delivery application and the delivery image data;

a processing module, coupled to the memory and the network interface, the processing module including at least one processor that executes the delivery application to bidirectionally communicate delivery data with a delivery data server via the network interface, wherein the delivery data includes a delivery tracking number and the delivery image data, wherein the network interface receives delivery location data generated by a client device that indicates a service address associated with a user of the client device and a delivery location associated with the service address for receiving at least one delivery to the service address, wherein the delivery location data indicates a user selection of the delivery location in relation to captured image data corresponding to the service address, and wherein the delivery location data indicates the user selection of the delivery location by superposition of a delivery location icon on the captured image data corresponding to the service address; and

a display device that displays the superposition of the delivery location icon on the captured image data corresponding to the service address;

the delivery data server configured to:

receive the delivery data; and

process the delivery data to provide a delivery confirmation to a customer at the service address, wherein the delivery confirmation includes the delivery tracking number and the delivery image data.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the captured image data corresponding to the service address includes to at least one of: a street view corresponding to the service address, and a sky view corresponding to the service address.

3. A delivery device for use with a delivery data server comprising:

a network interface for communicating via a network;

an image capture device for generating delivery image data of a delivery at a service address;

a memory that stores a delivery application and the delivery image data; and

a processing module, coupled to the memory and the network interface, the processing module including at least one processor that executes the delivery application to bidirectionally communicate delivery data with the delivery data server via the network interface, wherein the delivery data includes a delivery tracking number and the delivery image data, wherein the network interface receives delivery location data generated by a client device that indicates a service address associated with a user of the client device and a delivery location associated with the service address for receiving at least one delivery to the service address, wherein the delivery location data indicates a user selection of the delivery location in relation to captured image data corresponding to the service address, and wherein the delivery location data indicates the user selection of the delivery location by superposition of a delivery location icon on the captured image data corresponding to the service address; and

a display device that displays the superposition of the delivery location icon on the captured image data corresponding to the service address;

wherein the delivery data server processes the delivery image data to provide a delivery confirmation to a customer at the service address, wherein the delivery confirmation includes the delivery tracking number and the delivery image data.

4. The delivery device of claim 3 wherein the captured image data corresponding to the service address includes to at least one of: a street view corresponding to the service address, and a sky view corresponding to the service address.

5. A method for use with a delivery device and a delivery data server, the method comprising:

receiving, via a network interface of the delivery device, delivery location data generated by a client device that indicates a service address associated with a user of the client device and a delivery location associated with the service address for receiving at least one delivery to the service address, wherein the delivery location data indicates a user selection of the delivery location in relation to captured image data corresponding to the service address, and wherein the delivery location data indicates the user selection of the delivery location by superposition of a delivery location icon on the captured image data corresponding to the service address; and

displaying, on a display device of the delivery device, the superposition of the delivery location icon on the captured image data corresponding to the service address;

generating delivery image data of a delivery at a service address via an image capture device; and

sending the delivery image data of the delivery at the service address and a tracking number to the delivery data server;

wherein the delivery data server processes the delivery image data to provide a delivery confirmation to a customer at the service address, wherein the delivery confirmation includes the delivery tracking number and the delivery image data.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the captured image data corresponding to the service address includes to at least one of: a street view corresponding to the service address, and a sky view corresponding to the service address.
