Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a logistics transportation and protection device that is capable of securely holding packages or luggage during transport thus minimizing the risk of damage during transportation and ensuring the safe delivery of the packages.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] In the field of logistics and transportation, the safe, secure, and efficient delivery of packages or luggage is an important concern. With the increasing volume of goods being transported through roadways, air, and rail, maintaining the condition of goods and ensuring secure delivery to the correct recipient has become a growing requirement. Transported goods often face rough handling, improper storage, weather exposure, and unauthorized access, which may cause damage or loss. Logistics providers also face challenges in confirming successful deliveries, managing traffic delays, and tracking the status of goods in real-time. These issues affect both service quality and customer satisfaction, creating a need for more reliable and smarter device that improve package safety and logistics operations.

[0003] Traditionally, goods in transit are carried using standard boxes or containers, which are manually loaded and unloaded. These containers typically lack intelligent features such as condition monitoring, secure access control, or real-time tracking. Physical seals or locks are often used to prevent unauthorized access, and identification is done by visual checking or signature verification, which easily bypassed or forged. Monitoring during transit is generally limited to external GPS devices or driver communication. Further, many containers do not include arrangements to prevent environmental damage, such as exposure to sunlight or rainfall. In case of improper stacking or route risks, drivers are not always alerted in time due to the lack of integrated safety sensors. These limitations in traditional methods highlight the need for improved logistics device that adapt to transit conditions, maintain safety, and provide controlled access to goods.

[0004] US9842449B1 discloses a transport container for secure transport of packages. In one embodiment, the transport container includes a body, a cover, a cover lock, a locking bar, and an electronic controller. The cover is coupled to the body. The cover is movable from a closed state covering the opening to an open state. The cover lock is configured to engage the cover and keep the cover in the closed state. The locking bar is coupled to the base. The locking bar is configured for attachment to anchor points. The electronic controller is electrically coupled to the cover lock and to the locking bar. The electronic controller is configured to adjust the cover lock between a locked state and an unlocked state. The electronic controller is also configured to adjust the locking bar between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0005] US11631088B2 discloses a shipping container that includes numerous multi-factor authentication (MFA) tie ins to provide added security to the container. In some embodiments, the shipping container is associated with a mobile user profiles within a mobile application. A retailer makes a sale, then, using a mobile application, associates the container with the destination address and the MFA details associated with the buyer's mobile application account. Once the container is loaded up, the container will not open again except for the buyer using the buyer's MFA authentication credentials.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed in order to ensure secure transportation of goods and prevent unauthorized access or tampering during delivery. However, the devices mentioned in the prior arts have limitations pertaining to offering locking and authentication controls, automated sealing capabilities, or cushioning features to protect fragile items along with weight balancing, and obstacle alerts.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that is capable of providing secure and efficient transportation of packages by offering improved stability during transit, real-time condition monitoring, secure and verified access control, and protection against environmental, thereby ensuring safe delivery of the items.

[0022] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0023] The present invention relates to a logistics transportation and protection device that is developed for holding and protecting packages during transportation by monitoring the condition and position in transit, and providing real-time location details to concerned person, thereby enhancing overall reliability and security during transportation.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a logistics transportation and protection device is illustrated, comprises of a box-shaped structure 101 divided into multiple sections 102, telescopic rods 103 attached at each outer corner of the box 101 , each rods 103 terminating with a suction unit 104 at a distal end of each telescopic rod, a camera 105 with computer vision protocol mounted externally on the box 101, a biometric authentication unit 106 located at the box 101 including an (Radio Frequency Identification and Detection) card scanner 106a, and a fingerprint sensor 106b, an imaging unit 107 mounted on the inner portion of the box 101 housing, an automatic sealing arrangement 108 fixed inside the box 101 housing including a pneumatic link 108a mounted on the inner wall of the box 101 supporting a circular slider 108b attached to a panel 108c, a storage chamber 108d connected to this panel 108c for dispensing adhesive tape, and a motorized clipper 108e mounted over the slider 108b, a retractable and foldable shading arrangement 109 mounted externally on the outer periphery of the box 101 including a motorized roller 109a mounted on the box 101, multiple motorized hinge joints 109b arranged on outer periphery of the box 101 with multiple V-shaped links 109c attached to each of the joints 109b, and a speaker 110 integrated on the box 101 .

[0025] The present invention includes a box-shaped structure 101 designed for transporting couriers, such as luggage or packages via buses, trains, or flights. The box 101 forms the main body of the device and serves as the foundation for mounting and integrating all other components. The box 101 is divided into multiple sections 102 where each section 102 is configured to hold packages or luggage separately, thereby enhancing organization and preventing item intermixing during transportation.

[0026] A user is required to access and presses a push button arranged on the box 101 to activate the device for associated processes of the device. The push button when pressed by the user, closes an electrical circuit and allows currents to flow for powering an associated microcontroller of the device for operating of all the linked components for performing their respective functions upon actuation. The microcontroller, mentioned herein, is preferably an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller used herein controls the overall functionality of the linked components.

[0027] At each outer corner of the box 101, a telescopic rod 103 is attached having a suction unit 104 attached at the end to grip the interior surfaces of the transport vehicle. The telescopic rods 103 is powered by a pneumatic unit that includes an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the rods 103 The microcontroller sends a signal to the pneumatic unit associated with the rods 103 that leads to actuation of valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder from one end, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston that leads to the extension of the rods 103 and similarly, a microcontroller retracts the rods 103 by pushing compressed air via the other end of the cylinder, by opening the corresponding valve resulting in retraction of the piston, and the retraction of the rod. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the rods 103 to position the suction unit 104.

[0028] The suction unit 104 consists of a pump that operates by creating a vacuum to grip the interior surfaces of the transport vehicle. The pump is activated for drawing the air in through an intake. Inside the pump, a rotating impeller moves to reduce the pressure within the pump chamber 108d. This reduction in pressure creates a vacuum effect, which generates suction and grip the interior surfaces of the transport vehicle. This ensures that the box 101 remains securely fixed in position throughout the transit, even when the vehicle is in motion or subjected to vibrations and jolts.

[0029] A plurality of weight sensors is integrated within the box 101 that are strategically positioned to detect the weight and distribution of the packages or luggage contained inside. The weight sensor comprises of a transducer and a strain gauge. The force applied on the sensor due to weight load leads to the deformation of the strain gauge. The deformations are measured and the transducer converts the force to the electrical resistance which is sent as an electrical output to the microcontroller. The sensor detects the weight and the microcontroller compares the weight to a pre-defined threshold limit. These sensors enable continuous monitoring of load conditions, allowing for adjustments or alerts when uneven weight distribution or overloading occurs.

[0030] An air cushion padding unit is internally attached within the box 101. This padding unit comprises multiple interconnected cushion sections connected to an integrated air inflating unit, which inflates the cushions. The inflating unit received a signal from the microcontroller based on real-time data received from the weight sensors, thereby preventing package shifting and absorbing shocks during transit.

[0031] The air cushion padding unit protect packages from movement and shocks during transportation. Weight sensors embedded within the box 101 continuously measure the weight and distribution of the packages. This information is sent in real-time to the microcontroller, which processes the data to determine how much air is needed in the cushions to provide optimal support. Based on this analysis, the microcontroller sends a control signal to the integrated air inflating unit, which then pumps air into the cushions to adjust their firmness and volume accordingly. By inflating the cushions to the right level, the device prevents the packages from shifting inside the box 101 and absorbs external shocks or vibrations, thereby minimizing the risk of damage during transit.

[0032] A camera 105 is mousted externally on the box 101, continuously captures the images of the packages and surroundings during loading, unloading, and transit phases. The camera 105 is integrated with a computer vision protocol, which allows it to analyze the visual data in real time. This protocol helps to identify and record important events such as when packages are placed inside or removed from the box 101, detect any irregularities like rough handling or damage, and monitor the overall condition of the load. The captured images may be stored or transmitted to authorized personnel for review, ensuring transparency and security throughout the transportation process. The camera 105 works in coordination with other sensors to provide a comprehensive overview of the package status at all times.

[0033] An onboard gyroscope (not shown in figure) works in collaboration with the camera 105 to detect any rotation or rough handling of the box 101. The gyroscope is a motion-sensing component that measures the angular velocity or orientation of an object in three-dimensional space. The gyroscope continuously monitors the orientation of the box 101 during transit. When the box 101 is rotated, tilted, or subjected to sudden movements, such as bumps, jerks, or rough handling, the gyroscope detects changes in its angular position or movement patterns.

[0034] This gyroscopic data is sent in real-time to the device microcontroller or processor, where it is analyzed to determine if the motion exceeds predefined thresholds that indicate abnormal or unsafe handling. When such movement is detected, the microcontroller triggers the camera 105 (which follows a computer vision protocol) to immediately capture images or video footage of the event or environment. These visuals, along with movement data, are then transmitted to the authorized personnel’s computing unit as alerts, allowing real-time monitoring and appropriate action if damage or tampering is suspected.

[0035] Inside the box 101, an imaging unit 107 is also installed to visually inspect the condition of packages or luggage placed inside. The imaging unit 107 includes a lens that captures images of the packages or luggage to gather comprehensive visual information. The imaging unit 107 is linked with a processor that pre-processes the captured images which involves noise reduction to clean the distortions followed by adjusting brightness, contrast, and color balance to make the images more uniform. Then, the feature extraction is done using artificial intelligence protocol to identify and extract key features or patterns from the images to highlight significant elements within the image.

[0036] The device includes an automatic sealing arrangement 108, consisting of a pneumatic link 108a mounted on the inner wall of the box 101 supporting a circular slider 108b attached to a panel 108c, a storage chamber 108d connected to this panel 108c for dispensing adhesive tape, and a motorized clipper 108e mounted via a ball-and-socket joint.

[0037] The pneumatic link 108a mounted on the inner wall provides controlled movement and support for the circular slider 108b. The pneumatic link 108a is powered by the pneumatic unit associated with the device. The extension/retraction works in the same manner as telescopic rods 103 described earlier.

[0038] The slider 108b is attached to the panel 108c that moves along a predefined path within the box 101 and connected to a storage chamber 108d that holds adhesive tape. Upon receiving input from the imaging unit 107 that confirms the condition and placement of packages, the microcontroller activates the pneumatic link 108a to slide the panel 108c into position. The circular slider 108b functions by allowing smooth rotational motion around a fixed central point. It comprises a circular rail and a sliding component that moves along this path. As the circular slider 108b moves clipper 108e over the panel 108c.

[0039] The motorized clipper 108e holds the adhesive tape from the chamber 108d and applies adhesive tape over the package opening to securely seal it. The motorized clipper 108e is powered by a DC (direct current) motor that is actuated by the microcontroller by providing required electric current to the motor. The motor comprises of a coil that converts the received electric current into mechanical force by generating magnetic field, thus the mechanical force provides the required power to the clipper 108es for hold the adhesive tape for sealing.

[0040] The motorized clipper 108e is mounted on the panel 108c via the ball-and-socket joint, then aligns precisely over the cap or outlet of the package. The joint has a ball-shaped component fits into a socket, allowing free rotational movement along multiple axes. The ball rotates in any direction, providing flexibility for the joint to orient the clipper 108e it holds. A motor is attached to the ball or the socket, providing controlled rotation. The motor applies torque to rotate the ball within the socket, which in turn rotates the attached clipper 108e. This arrangement automates the sealing process, ensuring packages remain secure throughout transit without manual intervention. This sealing arrangement automatically applies adhesive tape over the caps or outlets of packages, securing them to prevent leaks caused by low-pressure conditions during flight or transport.

[0041] To ensure secure receipt of packages, a biometric authentication unit 106 is provided at the box 101 outlet. This unit incorporates a facial recognition to scan the receiver’s facial image, an (Radio Frequency Identification and Detection) card scanner 106a to verify authorization, and a fingerprint sensor 106b for additional biometric verification.

[0042] The facial recognition unit captures the facial image of the person attempting to access the package using an imaging module integrated at the box 101 outlet. The captured image is processed using onboard facial recognition algorithms that analyze key facial features such as the distance between the eyes, jawline structure, and other biometric markers. This data is then compared against a pre-stored authorized database of users. If a match is found, the microcontroller verifies the user’s identity. This non-contact authentication method adds a secure and hygienic way to confirm the identity of the receiver.

[0043] The RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card scanner 106a works by emitting a radio frequency signal that activates a passive RFID tag embedded in the receiver’s identification card. the tag transmits a unique identification code back to the scanner 106a. The scanner 106a reads this code and sends it to the microcontroller for verification against stored authorization records. If the code matches an authorized profile, access is permitted. This contactless process provides quick, efficient, and reliable identification.

[0044] The fingerprint sensor 106b is embedded near the box 101 outlet and is used as an additional layer of verification. When a user places their finger on the fingerprint sensor 106b surface, the device scans the fingerprint’s ridges and valleys to generate a digital biometric template. This template is then matched against a pre-registered fingerprint stored in the device secure database. Only if the fingerprint matches an authorized user, access is granted. This ensures that even if the RFID card or facial recognition fails or is misused, the fingerprint verification offers a final safeguard. This multi-layered authentication ensures that only authorized personnel can access and retrieve the parcels, enhancing security.

[0045] The device further comprises a sensing module (not shown in figure) integrated with the box 101, which includes a sun sensor and a rain sensor to detect the direction of sunlight and rainfall during transportation. The sun sensor comprises of a photodiode, wherein the photodiode is capable of measuring intensity of illuminance as when beam of sunlight strikes the photodiode, then the photodiode has a tendency to loosen electrons causing an electric current to flow. More the intensity of sunlight, stronger is the electric current generated by the sun sensor, the intensity of the current is signaled to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes the received signal from the sun sensor in order to monitor direction of sunlight.

[0046] The rain sensor used herein is a conductive rain sensor uses two conductive plates separated by a gap. When raindrops fall and bridge the gap between the plates, they create a conductive path. This path alters the electrical resistance between the plates. The sensor measures this change in resistance, which correlates with the amount of rainfall.

[0047] A retractable and foldable shading arrangement 109 mounted on the outer periphery of the box 101 to shield the box 101 from adverse environment. Based on the data from the sensing module, the microcontroller sends a signal to a motor linked with the hinge joints 109b. The shading arrangement 109 includes a motorized roller 109a mounted on the box 101 for rotating to unwind a sheet, multiple motorized hinge joints 109b arranged on outer periphery of the box 101 for providing movement to multiple V-shaped links 109c attached to each of the joints 109b and the sheet being attached between the V-shaped links 109c and deployed by coordinated actuation of the roller 109a and hinge joints 109b.

[0048] The microcontroller activates a motor that is mechanically linked to a motorized roller 109a mounted on the box 101. This roller 109a is responsible for rotating to unwind a protective sheet stored on it. At the same time, the microcontroller sends coordinated signals to multiple motorized hinge joints 109b that are strategically positioned along the outer edges of the box 101.

[0049] Each of these hinge joints 109b is connected to a V-shaped link 109c. The hinge joint 109b comprises of two parts, one part of the hinge has a cylindrical shape, while the other part has a corresponding groove to fit the first part over it. This configuration allows the hinge to move around a fixed axis. The joint 109b is powered by a motor to provide a rotational force that is transmitted through a gear that to the hinge joint. The transmission converts the motor’s rotational force into movement of the hinge joint 109b which allows the V-shaped link 108a to move for deploying the sheet.

[0050] As the roller 109a unwinds the sheet, the motorized hinge joints 109b simultaneously move the V-shaped links 109c outward and upward, forming a supportive framework over the box 101. The sheet is stretched and held between these V-shaped links 109c, creating a tent-like protective cover over the box 101. When the adverse condition subsides, the roller retract the sheet and fold the V-shaped links 109c back into their original positions, making the shading unit compact and unobtrusive.

[0051] A Peltier unit is integrated within the box 101 to maintain optimal internal temperature conditions based on the specific requirements of the contents. The Peltier unit are based on the Peltier effect that stated that the cooling of one junction and the heating of the other when electric current is maintained in a circuit of material consisting of two dissimilar conductors. The Peltier effect related to production or absorption of heat at the junction of two metals on the passage of a current thereby provides a hot/cold fomentation to the user.

[0052] The Peltier unit works on the basis of a temperature sensor provided inside the box 101 to determine the temperature of the contents. A temperature sensor works by detecting the thermal energy (heat) present in its surrounding environment and converting that thermal information into an electrical signal that can be measured, monitored, or used to trigger other processes. The temperature sensor uses a thermistor that is a sensing element, which changes its electrical resistance in response to changes in temperature.

[0053] As the internal temperature of the box 101 rises or falls, the sensor experiences a corresponding change in resistance. This resistance variation is read by the microcontroller or control circuit and interpreted as a specific temperature value. The sensor sends this data continuously or at set intervals, allowing the microcontroller to monitor the internal thermal conditions in real time. If the temperature deviates from the desired range, this data is used to activate or regulate the Peltier unit or other climate control to maintain ideal storage conditions inside the box 101. This ensures sensitive packages are kept within safe thermal limits during transit.

[0054] For enhanced location tracking and navigation, the device integrates a GPS (Global Positioning System) module with the microcontroller to continuously monitors the position of the transport vehicle and relays real-time data to authorized personnel. The GPS module working in sync with a magnetometer provides enhanced positioning and orientation information of the position of the transport vehicle. The GPS module receives signals from multiple satellites in orbit around the Earth. These satellites transmit precise timing and position information of the position of the transport vehicle.

[0055] The GPS module receives these signals and uses the time delay between transmission and reception to calculate the distance between the GPS module and each satellite. By triangulating the distances from multiple satellites, the GPS module determines its own position on the Earth's surface. This position is typically given in latitude and longitude coordinates. The magnetometer measures the strength and direction of the magnetic field in its vicinity. The magnetometer detects the Earth's magnetic field, which is approximately aligned with the Earth's geographic north-south axis. The magnetometer provides information about the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, which is compared with the band position information obtained from the GPS module. The outputs of the GPS module and the magnetometer are combined and processed by the microcontroller in order to determine the position of the transport vehicle.

[0056] The microcontroller is programmed to send notifications to authorized personnel prompting timely arrival at destinations. It also interfaces with Geographic Information System (GIS) and mapping databases to detect overhead obstacles such as flyovers and sagging transmission wires along the vehicle’s route.

[0057] To assist this function, a laser sensor is arranged on the exterior of the box 101 to measure and verify the dimensions of the box 101, especially when mounted on the top roof of the vehicle. The sensor emits a focused laser beam toward a surface or object, such as the ground, ceiling of a tunnel, or an overhead obstacle like a flyover. The sensor calculates the time it takes for the laser beam to reflect off the surface and return to the sensor. Using the speed of light and the measured time, the sensor calculates the exact distance between the box 101 (sensor’s position) and the object or ground. These distance readings are compared with pre-set clearance limits (stored in the microcontroller). If the sensor detects that the box 101 exceeds safe dimensions relative to the route’s overhead clearance, it triggers a warning. The sensor continuously monitors and updates the data, allowing the microcontroller to issue real-time alerts to the driver if a collision risk is detected.

[0058] A speaker 110 is integrated into the box 101 housing to provide audible alerts and voice or sound guidance to the vehicle driver. The speaker 110 works by converting the electrical signal into the audio signal. The speaker 110 consists of a cone known as a diaphragm attached to a coil-shaped wire placed between two magnets. When the electric signal is passed through the voice coil, generating a varying magnetic field that interacts with the magnet causing the diaphragm to move back and forth. This movement pushes and pulls air creating sound waves just like the electrical signal received and used to notify the driver of important events or warnings and assist in critical driving situations to enhance safety.

[0059] Moreover, the microcontroller is linked with a database for storing smart city infrastructure and the microcontroller is integrated with control smart traffic control units. This connectivity enables real-time optimization of delivery routes based on current traffic conditions and available transportation modes, improving efficiency and reducing delays. This helps to suggest the driver about the shortest route to reach a particular location, to ensure faster delivery. The database is synced with smart roadways that monitor traffic conditions, allowing the device to suggest optimal routes to the driver with minimal human intervention. The device will prioritize parcels carrying sensitive or fragile contents by routing them through safer paths.

[0060] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.

[0061] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the present invention includes the box-shaped structure 101 is divided into multiple sections 102 configured to accommodate packages or luggage during transit. Each outer corner of the box is fitted with the telescopic rod 103 terminating in the suction unit 104, allowing the device to grip the interior surfaces of the transport vehicle, ensuring stable positioning during movement. The weight sensors integrated within the box 101 detect the weight and distribution of items, while the air cushion padding unit inflates through the integrated air inflating unit based on sensor data to prevent item shifting and absorb shocks. The camera 105 using computer vision protocols, synchronized with the gyroscope, monitors loading, unloading, and rough handling during transit and sends alerts to authorized personnel. The box outlet features the biometric authentication unit 106 comprising the facial recognition unit, RFID scanner 106a, and fingerprint sensor 106b to ensure that only authorized personnel can access the contents. The internal imaging unit 107 visually inspects items, while the automatic sealing arrangement 108 secures package caps using adhesive tape based on input from imaging unit 107. Environmental monitoring is provided via the integrated sun and rain sensors, and the retractable shading arrangement 109 shields the box from adverse conditions. The Peltier unit maintains internal temperature as needed. The GPS module integrated with the microcontroller continuously tracks the vehicle’s location, while the GIS integration detects overhead obstacles. The laser sensor measures box 101 dimensions for clearance, and the speaker 110 provides audible alerts and guidance to the driver.
