Abstract

See full text

A secure storage system for multi-user access having a plurality of lockable storage spaces, and a method for granting or denying access to the plurality of lockable storage spaces. A first subset of the lockable storage spaces is allocated to a first user and a second subset of the lockable storage spaces is allocated to a second user. A first access sequence of lockable storage spaces within the first subset is determined for the first user, and a second access sequence of lockable storage spaces within the second subset is determined for the second user in dependence on a likelihood of an access conflict with the first user. At least one delay period for at least one of the first access sequence and the second access sequence is determined if the likelihood of the access conflict remains above a predetermined threshold.
