Abstract:
In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to manage reservations and deliveries for a docking station. More specifically, the various embodiments described herein track spaces on a docking station to determine whether one or more spaces are available when requested by a delivery device. Each space on the docking station has a corresponding capacity unit for each location on the docking station. The transactions for the capacity units are tracked in a ledger, with available capacity units indicating an open location on the docking station or contracted out capacity units indicating that either the location has a locker secured thereto or that the location is reserved for a future delivery.

Claim (Index 1):
A reservation system for locations on a locker docking station, the system comprising:\n a locker docking station having a plurality of locations thereon configured to have a locker secured thereto, the plurality of locations having associated capacity units; one or more control circuits in communication with at least one of a plurality of locker docking stations including the locker docking station, at least one of the control circuits configured to maintain a public ledger of the capacity units for the plurality of locker docking stations, the public ledger containing a record of available and reserved capacity units for the plurality of locker docking stations; wherein at least one of the locker docking station and the one or more control circuits is configured to:\n receive a request for a delivery reservation from a delivery device for delivery of a locker to one or more of the plurality of locations of the locker docking station; \n analyze the public ledger of the locker docking station to determine whether sufficient capacity units are available for the locker; \n execute a contract for the delivery reservation reserving the capacity units; and \n update the public ledger to reflect the delivery reservation reserving the capacity units.
