Monitoring and notification of delivered packages
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring delivered packages, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a shipping information system, a first notification of an expected delivery of a package and responsively activating a smart mat;
monitoring the smart mat for a delivery of the package, the delivery being indicated by a change in a weight measured by the smart mat;
based at least in part on detecting a change in the weight measured by the smart mat after the delivery, activating a camera to capture one or more images of the smart mat and the package; and
based on a determination that the package has been removed from the smart mat by analyzing the one or more images, notifying one or more individuals with a second notification.
