Abstract

Consumer operated kiosks for recycling electronic devices are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the kiosk includes a rotatable inspection plate configured to receive an electronic device when the inspection plate is in a first position. The kiosk can include a camera having a field of view including at least a portion of the inspection plate. The kiosk can include a wired and/or wireless connectivity device configured to connect to the electronic device and one or more processors configured to: receive characteristic information about the electronic device via the wired and/or wireless connectivity device; cause the inspection plate to rotate to a second position; receive one or more images of the electronic device via the camera when the inspection plate is in the second position; and facilitate determination of an offer price for the electronic device based at least in part on the characteristic information and the one or more images.

Claims (44)

1. A consumer operated kiosk configured to evaluate an electronic device received from a user, the kiosk comprising:

a housing;

an inspection plate rotatable about a horizontal axis relative to the housing between a first position and a second position, wherein the inspection plate is configured to receive the electronic device when the inspection plate is in the first position;

a camera; and

one or more processors operably connected to the camera and the inspection plate, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

cause the inspection plate to rotate from the first position to the second position with the electronic device thereon,

receive one or more images of the electronic device via the camera when the inspection plate is in the second position, and

facilitate determination of an offer price for the electronic device based at least in part on the one or more images.

2. The kiosk of claim 1 wherein the inspection plate is configured to rotate about the horizontal axis from the second position to a third position to move the electronic device from the inspection plate to a storage receptacle.

3. The kiosk of claim 1 , further comprising one or more mirrors positioned proximate the inspection plate when the inspection plate is in the second position, the one or more mirrors configured to provide the camera with one or more reflected views of the electronic device positioned on the inspection plate.

4. The kiosk of claim 3 wherein the one or more mirrors are mounted to a mirror frame configured to rotate relative to the inspection plate.

5. The kiosk of claim 3 wherein the one or more mirrors are mounted to a mirror frame, and wherein the inspection plate is configured to rotate relative to the mirror frame.

6. The kiosk of claim 1 wherein the camera is a first camera, and wherein the kiosk further comprises a second camera.

7. The kiosk of claim 6 wherein the inspection plate is positioned between the first camera and the second camera when the inspection plate is in the second position.

8. The kiosk of claim 6 wherein the second camera is configured to rotate with the inspection plate.

9. The kiosk of claim 1 wherein, when in the first position, an angle of the inspection plate with respect to horizontal is greater than 0° and less than 90°.

10. The kiosk of claim 1 wherein, when in the first position, an angle of the inspection plate with respect to horizontal is greater than 30° and less than 65°.

11. The kiosk of claim 1 wherein, when in the second position, the inspection plate is horizontal or about horizontal.

12. The kiosk of claim 1 , further comprising a lighting assembly operably coupled to the inspection plate.

13. The kiosk of claim 1 wherein the inspection plate is at least partially transparent.

14. The kiosk of claim 13 wherein the camera is a first camera positioned above the inspection plate, and wherein the kiosk further comprises a second camera positioned below the inspection plate and configured to obtain one or more images of the electronic device through the inspection plate when the inspection plate is in the second position.

15. The kiosk of claim 1 wherein the one or more processors are further configured to receive characteristic information about the electronic device, and wherein facilitating determination of an offer price further includes facilitating determination of an offer price based at least in part on the characteristic information.

16. The kiosk of claim 1 wherein the electronic device is a mobile phone.

17. A consumer operated kiosk configured to evaluate an electronic device, the kiosk comprising:

a housing;

an inspection plate rotatable relative to the housing, wherein the inspection plate is configured to (a) receive the electronic device when the inspection plate is in a first position, and (b) rotate about a horizontal axis from the first position to a second position with the electronic device thereon; and

a camera configured to obtain one or more images of the electronic device when the inspection plate is in the second position.

18. The kiosk of claim 17 wherein the inspection plate is further configured to (c) rotate about the horizontal axis from the second position to a third position, the third position being nonhorizontal.

19. The kiosk of claim 17 wherein, when in the first position, an angle of the inspection plate with respect to horizontal is between 10° and 85°.

20. The kiosk of claim 17 wherein, when in the second position, the inspection plate is substantially horizontal.

21. The kiosk of claim 17 , further comprising one or more processors configured to facilitate determination of an offer price for the electronic device based at least in part on the one or more images.

22. A method of evaluating an electronic device using a consumer operated kiosk having a housing, an inspection plate and a camera, the method comprising:

receiving the electronic device on the inspection plate from a user when the inspection plate is in a first position relative to the housing;

rotating the inspection plate about a horizontal axis from the first position to a second position;

obtaining, via the camera, one or more images of the electronic device with the inspection plate in the second position;

determining, based at least in part on the one or more images, an offer price for the electronic device; and

providing the user with an offer to purchase the electronic device for the offer price.

23. The method of claim 22 wherein:

when in the first position, an angle of the inspection plate with respect to horizontal is between 10° and 85°, and

when in the second position, the inspection plate is horizontal or about horizontal.

24. The method of claim 22 , further comprising rotating the inspection plate about the horizontal axis from the second position to a third position to deposit the electronic device in a storage receptacle in response to an acceptance of the offer by the user.

25. The method of claim 22 , further comprising presenting the user with an electrical connector to be connected to the electronic device when the inspection plate is in the first position.

26. The method of claim 25 , further comprising electrically evaluating the electronic device via the electrical connector.

27. The method of claim 26 , further comprising automatically disconnecting the electrical connector from the electronic device after electrically evaluating the electronic device.
