Abstract
An example kiosk for accepting a portable electronic device (PED) associated method and systems are described. The kiosk includes an upper container to evaluate the PED, a lower container to store the PED, a network interface to connect to a portable interaction control device, and a computer. The upper container includes at least one camera, and a plurality of mirrors arranged at one or more angles to enable capturing by the at least one camera, in one image, a top surface of the PED and reflected views of sides of the PED. The computer may, in response to an instruction received from a remote operator via the portable interaction control device control the at least one camera to capture the one image, and transmit, via the portable interaction control device, the captured one image to the remote operator.
