Claims

1. A delivery system comprising:

a door secured within a doorway of a structure, wherein the door separates an inside and an outside of the structure, wherein the door comprises an opening therethrough;

a frame comprising an exterior flange and an interior flange each having a top portion, a bottom portion and sides, wherein the frame is secured to the door within the opening so that the exterior flange is on the outside and the interior flange is on the inside, wherein the frame comprises a slot formed within an inner perimeter of the exterior flange at least along the top portion and the sides;

a panel slidably engaged within the slot and comprising an outer surface, and an inner surface, wherein an aperture is formed through the inner surface forming a lock receiver, and a stopper is affixed to and protruding from the inner surface, wherein the outer surface is faced towards the outside, and the inner surface is faced towards the inside, wherein the panel comprises an open position and a closed position, wherein the open position comprises the panel sliding upwards until the stopper abuts the top portion of the exterior flange so that the opening is exposed and the closed position comprises the panel covering the opening;

a receptacle affixed to the door on the inside of the structure and positioned to at least partially surround the opening of the door;

a locking assembly comprising a base portion secured to the interior flange and a lock pin disposed within the base portion, wherein the locking assembly comprises a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the locked position comprises the lock pin disposed within the lock receiver of the panel and the unlocked position comprises the lock pin disposed outside of the lock receiver of the panel; and

a wireless device wirelessly connected to the locking assembly and operable to activate the locking assembly, thereby transitioning the locking assembly from the locked position to the unlocked position, wherein the unlocked position allows the panel to be openable from the outside of the structure.

2. The delivery system of claim 1, further comprising a handle attached to the panel and extending from the outer surface of the panel.

3. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein the wireless device is wirelessly connected to the locking assembly by a wireless network.

4. The delivery system of claim 3, wherein the wireless network is connected to the internet.
