wherein the at least one formed enclosure contains at least one compartment enclosed by at least one lock assembly;
wherein the at least one compartment contains at least one side wall and at least one bottom with at least one opening;
wherein the at least one opening is enclosed by at least one barrier which is locked by the at least one lock assembly making the at least one compartment inaccessible to a user until the at least one lock assembly is unlocked and the barrier is removed;
wherein the at least one lock assembly consists of at least one attachment mechanism which is unlocked based on a decision from the at least one processing device which is connected to at least one sensor device and at least one input device;
wherein the processing assembly device makes a decision to unlock the at least one lock assembly based on a set of programmed parameters;
wherein the set of programmed parameters include the at least one sensor device detecting a removal of all material from a previous compartment of the at least one compartments, an input by the user on the at least one input device, a directed action from an external input device, and/or a preprogrammed internal decision by the at least one processing assembly device using at least one timer and/or an opening of an initial compartment of the at least one compartments;
wherein the at least one lock assembly unlocks the at least one compartment in a predetermined sequence programmed into the at least one processing assembly device based on the set of programmed parameters.
