Zusammenfassung:A device and method for securely delivering a package are provided. The device may be a container for receiving packages, and may include a body configured to receive a package, a door coupled to the body and having a locking mechanism configured to prevent the door from opening when engaged, a controller configured to receive a signal corresponding to the package, and to unlock the locking mechanism in response to the signal, and a sanitization device configured to sanitize at least one of the package and contents of the package by emitting at least one of a gas and a light configured to kill one or more of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. The method for securely delivering a package may include storing information corresponding to the package in a memory of the container, receiving a signal indicating that the package is ready for delivery to the container, unlocking a locking mechanism of the container in response to receiving the signal, and activating a sanitization device to sanitize the package after the package has been placed inside the container.
