US Patent 9482522 Digital locker

Techniques are provided for generating sensor data from a locker compartment and transmitting the sensor data to a locker controller. The sensor data indicates one or more characteristics of an item present in the locker compartment. Upon receiving the sensor data, the locker controller transmits the sensor data to a locker manager, which, based on, at least in part, the sensor data indicating the one or more characteristics of the item, determines one or more dimensions of the item present in the locker compartment. The locker controller also requests one or more reference dimensions of the item, determines whether the one or more dimensions of the item match the one or more reference dimensions of the item, and if so generates and transmits a first report message indicating that the one or more dimensions of the item match the one or more reference dimensions of the item.
