Abstract

A device may obtain a first image depicting contents included in a secure storage container at a first point in time and first user account data associated with the secure storage container. The device may store the first image in a data structure associated with the first user account data. In addition, the device may receive data indicating that an individual associated with a second user account accessed the secure storage container, and receive a second image depicting contents included in the secure storage container at a second point in time. The second image may be stored in the data structure. The device may further receive, from a user device associated with the first user account data, a request to access the data structure, and the device may provide, to the user device, data that causes display of the second image.

Claims (84)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a device, a request for delivery of an object included in a secure storage container,

the request being associated with a user account associated with a user;

identifying, by the device, a courier capable of delivering the object to the user;

providing, by the device, delivery instructions to the courier,

the delivery instructions including:

a pick-up location associated with the secure storage container, and

a delivery location associated with the user, and

the delivery instructions specifying that the courier is to deliver the secure storage container to the delivery location;

obtaining, by the device, a first image depicting contents included in the secure storage container,

the first image being captured based on the courier obtaining the secure storage container;

obtaining, by the device, a second image depicting delivery of the object to the user;

storing, by the device, the first image in a data structure associated with the user account;

storing, by the device, the second image in the data structure;

obtaining, by the device, a third image depicting return of the secure storage container to the pick-up location; and

storing, by the device, the third image in the data structure.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the courier is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from a courier device associated with the courier, user authentication data;

authenticating the user based on the user authentication data; and

providing the courier device with results of authentication.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the user authentication data includes a fourth image,

the fourth image depicting a face of the user.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the user authentication data includes biometric information associated with the user.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delivery instructions further include user authentication data that enables the courier to authenticate the user.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the courier is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV); and

the delivery instructions cause the courier to deliver the secure storage container to the user.

8. A device, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

receive a request for delivery of an object included in a secure storage container,

the request being associated with a user account associated with a user;

identify a courier capable of delivering the object to the user;

provide the courier with delivery instructions,

the delivery instructions including:

a pick-up location associated with the secure storage container, and

a delivery location associated with the user, and

the delivery instructions specifying that the courier is to deliver the secure storage container to the delivery location;

obtain a first image depicting contents included in the secure storage container,

the first image being captured based on the courier obtaining the secure storage container;

obtain a second image depicting delivery of the object to the user;

store the first image in a data structure associated with the user account;

store the second image in the data structure;

obtain a third image depicting return of the secure storage container to the pick-up location; and

store the third image in the data structure.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the courier is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive, from a courier device associated with the courier, user authentication data;

authenticate the user based on the user authentication data; and

provide the courier device with results of authentication.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the user authentication data includes a user password.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the delivery instructions further include user authentication data that enables the courier to authenticate the user.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein:

the courier is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV); and

the delivery instructions cause the courier to deliver the secure storage container to the user.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first image, the second image, and the third image were captured by a camera device included in the secure storage container.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive a request for delivery of an object included in a secure storage container,

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the courier is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:

receive, from a courier device associated with the courier, user authentication data;

authenticate the user based on the user authentication data; and

provide the courier device with results of authentication.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein:
