Integrated package and mail delivery security system

1. A system for securely depositing an item comprising:

a lock mechanism configured to attach to a deposit box having a door configured to provide selective access to an interior space in the box to selectively block the door from opening and allow the door to open to provide access to the interior space;

a first proximity sensor operatively connected to the lock mechanism to operate the lock mechanism to block the door or allow the door to open;

a second proximity sensor configured to be attached to at least one of: a delivery person and a piece of delivery equipment;

a third proximity sensor;

a first transmitter operatively connected to the lock mechanism and configured to transmit a signal indicative of operating information regarding the lock mechanism; and

a bag, the bag having:

an attaching member configured to attach to a securing member located in the interior space; and

a passageway in the deposit box sized and dimensioned to allow the attaching member to pass through the passageway to attach to the securing member in the interior space when the bag is outside of the interior space.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising: a database operatively connected to the first transmitter to receive and store the operating information regarding the lock mechanism.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second proximity sensor is attached to the piece of delivery equipment and the piece of delivery equipment is at least one of: a delivery vehicle and a delivery bag.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the third proximity sensor is configured to at least one of: be activated by entering information on a database regarding a user and a deposit box and associating the information with the third proximity sensor; and be deactivated.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a fourth proximity sensor configured to send a signal to a database when the second proximity sensor is detected to be near the fourth proximity sensor.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein a signal is sent to a user associated with the box when the fourth proximity sensor detects the second proximity sensor.

7. The system of claim 6 , further comprising a fifth proximity sensor and wherein the signal is sent to a user associated with the box when the fifth proximity sensor detects the second proximity sensor.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a program or application configured to operate the lock mechanism and provide data accessible to the user regarding deliveries associated with the deposit box.

9. A method of making a secure delivery comprising:

unlocking a delivery box by activating a first proximity sensor operatively connected to a lock mechanism by moving a second proximity sensor near the first proximity sensor, wherein the second proximity sensor is mounted to a piece of delivery equipment, wherein the first and second proximity sensors have been registered to a delivery box user and a delivery service respectively;

depositing a delivery item associated with the delivery box;

moving the second proximity sensor away from the first proximity sensor; and

sending a message to the user when at least one of any of the following events occur: when the second proximity sensor is detected by the first proximity sensor, when the second proximity sensor is detected by a third proximity sensor, and when the second proximity sensor is detected by a fourth proximity sensor,

wherein the sending a message to the user comprises sending a message to the user when at least two of any of the following events occur: when the second proximity sensor is detected by the first proximity sensor, when the second proximity sensor is detected by a third proximity sensor, and when the second proximity sensor is detected by the fourth proximity sensor.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising unlocking the delivery box with a user's proximity sensor and removing the delivery item.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising associating a personal electronic device to a user's account wherein the account is associated with the user's proximity sensor.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising accessing the message via the personal device.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising associating the second proximity sensor with a specific delivery point or delivery zone.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising attaching the second proximity sensor to a vehicle or delivery bag.

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

placing the delivery item in a bag;

attaching the bag to a securing member; and

locking the bag to the delivery box by locking the delivery box.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising removing the bag from the delivery box prior to placing the delivery item in the bag.

17. The method of claim 15 , further including sending a message to the user that a delivery item is in the bag.

18. A system for securely depositing an item comprising:

a deposit box including:

a housing defining an interior space;

a door configured to provide selective access to the interior space;

a lock mechanism configured to selectively block the door from opening and allow the door to open to provide access to the interior space; and

a first proximity sensor operatively connected to the lock mechanism to operate the lock mechanism to block the door or allow the door to open;

a second proximity sensor associated with a user of the deposit box, and wherein the first proximity sensor is configured to unlock the lock mechanism when the first proximity sensor communicates with a third proximity sensor mounted to delivery equipment or the second proximity sensor; and

a fourth proximity sensor configured to send a signal to a database when the second proximity sensor is detected to be near the fourth proximity sensor.
