Embodiment

In the following detailed description, with reference to forming the accompanying drawing of a part at this.In the accompanying drawings, the assembly that identical label sign is identical, unless the context indicating other implications.At instructions, the specific embodiment of describing in accompanying drawing and the claim does not also mean that and is limited to this.Under the prerequisite that does not break away from subject area of the present invention and spirit, also can utilize other embodiment, also can carry out other change.

Concerning the earth, the caused eco-environmental impact of the consumption of rare material and mankind's activity is becoming a serious problem.For example, some scholarly forecasts we in order to obtain food, timber, energy and the use of the ecosystem has been exceeded the ability that the earth can provide.If lacking of resource is not sufficient to become a problem, human behavior has also caused being discharged into the increase of the greenhouse gases quantity in the atmospheric envelope.Some greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, sulphuric dioxide, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs:chlorofluorocarbons) and nitrogen monoxide are because the manufacturing of product is used and decompose to produce to a certain extent.General public opinion thinks that greenhouse gases are to work the mischief to environment.For example, point out according to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC:Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) the 4th assessment report in 2007, during 20th century, greenhouse effect are so that the temperature rises whole world surface 0.74+0.18C(1.33+0.32F).Climate model prediction temperature during 21 century will continue to rise 1.1 to 6.4C(2.0 to 11.5F).Probably this growth of temperature is a serious problem to biology.For example, the earth ecology index that identifies the designator of global bio-diversity shows that the species number reduced 30% from 1970 to 2003.

Demand for article causes huge harm to environment, yet majority are complacent.People may think that they are concerned about environment; Yet, seem that at present some (if not most people's words) not friendly to the environments is although they know how in fact their behavior will affect environment.Too abstract people are difficult to recognize to such an extent as to one of reason that produces above-mentioned situation may be this impact.For example, a people may know that the driving meeting works the mischief to environment; Yet this people may and not know to cause great harm, because this people is not because driving pays for or this people does not recognize that the behavior that he drives has any related with the harm that the behavior causes environment.

Correspondingly, except other aspects, provide robust method, thereby system and computer program form a kind of operability system, the user can recognize the acquisition of product and consumption behavior are how to affect environment therein.Similarly, in an exemplary embodiment, the potential eco-environmental impact relevant with product can be quantized, for example, be mapped to the discrete set (99 to 99) of numeral, perhaps be mapped to abstract scope, for example " bad ", " bad ", " neutral ", " good " and " outstanding " impact to have represented these products and/or will produce environment.Potential eco-environmental impact quantized value can divide one or more stages of product life cycle and/or one or more processing modes of product to calculate.In at least one exemplary embodiment, the user can find the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value information of at least part of quantized value (or based on) of product and understand that this product causes great harm (material fact that for example, is generated according to this product) to environment and/or it will cause how many potential harm to environment when this product is processed.Whether the potential environmental impact quantized value allows the user to make one to want environment is had the product of harm and/or how to process the decision of the product that he or she has about him or she.

With reference now to Fig. 1,, it has shown the high-level block diagram of the exemplary operation environment that is used for describing embodiments of the invention.Dotted arrow represents how mobile between diverse location product 102 is in its whole life cycle.The square frame element that is represented by dotted lines represents that these elements are optional

Product information CC/PP Repository 202 can comprise information that one or more agencies by ecosystem environment service provider collect and/or that collected by goods producer's agency.In embodiment disclosed by the invention, the above-mentioned data of collecting can be used to generate potential eco-environmental impact quantized value, for example, be 5 impact point or such as " good " such as value, the arbitrary value of " on average " or " bad ", at least one stage that is used for the product life cycle, for example, its production phase, operational phase, and/or the processing stage, the suitable part that this quantized value can be stored in product information CC/PP Repository 202 (that is to say production phase quantization value table 216, operational phase quantization value table 218, and/or the processing stage quantization value table 220, a plurality of quantized values that comprise product that the latter is potential a: quantized value of each processing mode of product).

The detailed bill that forms the material of this product in the time of can collecting and be stored in one type data in the exotic material table 210 and be the material of having used up and/or produce a product.In at least one exemplary embodiment, be identified at other products of product 102() in exotic material and/or the data of the exotic material that in the process that manufactures a product, consumes can be used to generate one or more potential eco-environmental impact quantized values.The quantity that for example, can obtain the decomposition of component in the product 102 and can derive to produce rare earth material and/or the exotic material of product 102 from ecosystem environment service provider 112 and/or goods producer's 104 agency.

Exotic material can comprise rare earth material and/or only be rare material.For example, IUPAC has set up a dvielement and has been called " rare earth metal " in the periodic table of chemical element.To a great extent, these elements are quantitatively not rare, but it is very difficult to extract these elements from compound.That important component and demand increase day by day at hyundai electronics industry rare earth elements.For example, ceria, the most cheap rare earth element, it has increased by 930 percentage point per kilogram and has surpassed 35 dollars during from 2007 to 2010.Rare earth element is lanthanum (it can be used to generate glass of high refractive index, camera lens, battery electrode), cerium, praseodymium, neodymium (it can be used to the produced nucleus battery), samarium, europium, gadolinium (it can be used to generate calculator memory), terbium, ytterbium, lutetium, actinium, thorium, protactinium, uranium, neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium and lawrencium.

The deleterious material information of each product can be collected and be stored in the database 114, for example, in the deleterious material table 204, and can be used to generate such as the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value of the product of product 102.Harmful Waste can comprise those cause essence or potential threat to public health and/or environment rubbish.The objectionable impurities tabulation that the objectionable impurities of following the tracks of tabulation and being used for generates the eco-environmental impact quantized value can change to some extent and can comprise at country variant, but be not limited to the material that those can explode when being exposed to fire maybe when bump, and those have high flammable material, etc., and/or those are poisonous, and are corrosive, infection, carcinogenic, etc. material.

Ground pollution thing data can be stored in the ground pollution thing table 208 and can be used to generate one or more potential eco-environmental impact quantized values.The estimator of the ground pollution that produces when as a rule, ground pollution thing data can comprise the estimator of the pollutant (rather than Harmful Waste) that discharges such as goods producer 104 and/or carry out product treatment according to different processing modes.In one exemplary embodiment, the ground pollution thing of following the tracks of includes, but not limited to heavy metal, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and lead, zinc, benzene, etc.These typical pollutants enter into environment by landfill.

Carbon dioxide equivalent table 206 can comprise that information about greenhouse gases is (that is: with carbon dioxide equivalent or CO ₂The normalized greenhouse gases that e is represented).Can emission greenhouse gas and in an exemplary embodiment in almost each stage of product life cycle, owing to the production of product, the quantity of the common greenhouse gases of use and/or processing can be collected and be used for generating one or more potential eco-environmental impact quantized values.For example, but agency's measurement products manufacturer 104 employed electric weight of ecosystem environment service provider 112 or goods producer 104 and determine to make a kind of product needed and use how much energy.Can from power plant determine energy source and by power plant's generation for the production of CO ₂The discharge capacity of e can determine the to manufacture a product quantity of 102 electric current.The energy can be to determine from the generating plant, and the generating plant can be to obtain in order producing be used to the CO that obtains starting material and the required energy that manufactures a product discharges ₂E also is stored in CO ₂In the e information 206.

CO by the generating plant generation ₂The quantity of e can be estimated according to the information that is obtained by the energy grid.For example, the energy company of managing gridding can provide the expression energy source (for example, hydropower, rock gas, coal, etc.) information, and can calculate the CO2e of each energy source discharging and the number percent of the energy that generates from each energy source.In this embodiment, the CO that is associated of the production of the energy required with producing product 102 ₂The quantity of e discharging can obtain and can be stored in CO ₂In the e table 206.

The tabulation of gas can comprise following gas and the scalar value that shows in the quantity of each gas and the parenthesis can be multiplied each other and converts gas (with metric ton) to CO ₂E: carbon dioxide (1), methane (21), nitrous oxide (310), perfluocarbon (2300), HFC compound (12,000) and sulfur hexafluoride (23,900).This shows that 1,000,000 tons methane and nitrous oxide are equal to respectively the discharging of the carbon dioxide of 2,100 hundred ten thousand tons and 300,000,000 1 thousand ten thousand tons.In an exemplary embodiment, estimate the CO relevant with product by the Information Availability that the Environmental Protection Committee (EPA:Enironment Protection Agency) provides ₂The quantity of e.This information can be that report and the title of " catalogue of U.S.'s greenhouse gas emission and decline; 1990-2005 " is " solid refuse management and greenhouse gases: discharging and the life cycle that descends are estimated " (the 3rd edition at title, in September, 2006) obtain in the report of EPA, above-mentioned two are reported in herein and are all introduced in full.

In one exemplary embodiment, some or all data above-mentioned can be used to generate the one or more potential eco-environmental impact quantized value of one or more products.For example, potential eco-environmental impact quantized value can at least part of quantity based on the rare element relevant with product, the quantity of the Harmful Waste relevant with product, the quantity of the ground pollution thing relevant with product, and/or the CO relevant with product ₂The quantity of e.For example, the general CO that discharges 60 kilograms in the process of making mobile phone ₂E.In an exemplary embodiment, CO ₂E quantity can with the quantity of rare element in the mobile phone, and make that the quantity of Harmful Waste and ground pollution thing together quantizes in the mobile phone process.Then this quantized value can combine (for example, addition is multiplied each other, etc.) to generate potential eco-environmental impact quantized value.

Each potential eco-environmental impact quantized value can be categorized in the group of different phase of product life cycle and go.For example, the eco-environmental impact relevant with the fabrication phase can be stored in the production phase quantization value table 216.Other tables be operational phase quantization value table 218 and the processing stage quantization value table 220.In one exemplary embodiment, single product can with the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value of the potential hazard that environment is caused when making this product, the potential environmental impact harm quantized value of the potential hazard that causes when using this product, the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value of the potential hazard that is caused by the Different treatments of product is relevant.In another exemplary embodiment, can generate a single demonstration by the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value of the eco-environmental impact of the caused accumulation of product, for example, the summation of all aforesaid eco-environmental impact quantized values of this potential eco-environmental impact quantized value different phase that can be the product life cycle.

In a particular embodiment, but the quantity of exotic material or the quantity of making the exotic material that this product consumes are determined in the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value product-based of production run.In this embodiment, quantizing process can utilize the price of exotic material when generating potential eco-environmental impact quantized value and/or the quantity of product 102 middle rare earth materials.For example, 1,000 kilograms can then be complementary with eco-environmental impact quantized value 9 with material 1 praseodymium (a kind of relatively more expensive rare earth) that is complementary 1,000 kilograms of marking such as the rare earth material of the lesser value of ceria.The potential eco-environmental impact quantized value of material combines to generate the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value of production run alternatively with other potential eco-environmental impact quantized values.

Except exotic material, produce quantity and the type of the Harmful Waste that the eco-environmental impact quantized value also can produce when producing product and determine.For example, the Harmful Waste of high quantity high-risk degree type then are complementary with high eco-environmental impact quantized value.This eco-environmental impact quantized value can preferably combine to generate production eco-environmental impact quantized value with other eco-environmental impact quantized values.

In another embodiment, the eco-environmental impact quantized value of production run can be based on producing the CO that produces in the product ₂The quantity of e is determined.For example, usually can discharge CO in this stage ₂E is to generate transmission starting material/finished material to the energy at goods producer place and to be used for material is integrated into the required energy of product.In this embodiment, can estimate for making up the CO that product generates ₂The quantity of e and it can being mapped to based on CO ₂The eco-environmental impact quantized value of e.For example, a small amount of CO ₂E can be mapped to low based on CO ₂The eco-environmental impact quantized value of e, simultaneously a large amount of CO ₂E quantity can be mapped to high based on CO ₂The eco-environmental impact quantized value of e.Based on CO ₂The eco-environmental impact quantized value of e can with other based on CO ₂The eco-environmental impact quantized value of e combines to obtain the eco-environmental impact quantized value of production phase.

With obtain exotic material and the 102 relevant CO that manufacture a product ₂The discharging of e can comprise obtain exotic material, manufacture a product, energy that management company and disposal of refuse consume.As a rule, the most of energy that is used for above-mentioned activity is to obtain from being used for operating the mineral fuel that mining equiment and blast furnace blowing etc. burn, and is generated as the electric current that machine provides energy during the fabrication phase.

Operational phase eco-environmental impact quantized value can reflect because transportation, storage and in fact use a kind of product and potential hazard that environment is caused.Major part at this stage eco-environmental impact is attributable to the CO relevant with the energy of product use ₂The discharging of e, and/or product (for example, motor vehicle) moves the CO that discharges ₂E.The food service product can need freezing, and it needs and CO ₂The relevant electric current of e discharging.Most cold storage establishments are operated in the wide in range temperature range.In an exemplary embodiment, can estimate together the average-size of medial temperature, storage facility and be used for the mean value of frozen product institute energy requirement that this product can be six tinned beers.The Information Availability relevant with small product size estimated by the caused CO of storage products in the refrigeration ₂The discharging of e and this CO ₂The e discharging can be used to generate operational phase eco-environmental impact quantized value, and it can be stored in the operational phase quantization value table 218.

With above-mentioned and transportation and/or the relevant eco-environmental impact quantized value of storage similar be that the eco-environmental impact quantized value relevant with operated products can most of CO by discharging for the required energy of generation product ₂E and/or the CO that when product moves, discharges ₂E calculates.These data of product 102 can be collected, and are stored in CO ₂In the e table 206, and be used for generating based on CO ₂The potential eco-environmental impact quantized value of e.For example, any consumer products is because the energy of its consumption may come self-generating CO ₂The energy source of e is probably to environment work the mischief (even indirectly harm).

When the user uses a product (for example when this product is positioned at the end of its life), this product can be processed.In one exemplary embodiment, one or more exotic materials that the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value the processing stage can cause based on the processing to product lose the CO that discharges during treatment product ₂The quantity of e (perhaps from product or from the equipment for the treatment of this product), the quantity of the Harmful Waste that this product discharges during processing, the quantity of the ground pollution thing that this product produces during processing, etc.In one exemplary embodiment, each the processing stage potential eco-environmental impact quantized value can be stored in processing mode identifier list 214 in the processing mode identifier relevant.The processing mode identifier with how to describe that to carry out the information of product treatment according to processing mode relevant.For example, recycling mode identifier can with the text of the address that recvery facility is provided or relevant to the map of recvery facility.In another particular embodiment, a burning disposal mode identifier can comprise the audio frequency of describing the container handling (for example, dustbin, garbage tank etc.) that uses which kind of type, and this product can be placed on wherein to burn.

Because a kind of product can multiple different mode be processed, so each product can be relevant with a plurality of processing eco-environmental impact quantized values.Example but not the processing mode tabulation of exhaustive can comprise and reselling reclaims (and/or donations, manage etc.), and compost burns landfill etc.Similarly, in one exemplary embodiment, a product can be relevant to one or more eco-environmental impact quantized values of the effective processing mode of product with each.For example, resell to comprising such as the effective mode of the product of Mp 3 player class, reclaim and land-fill method.

In one exemplary embodiment, product can be relevant with the processing mode of reselling.In this exemplary embodiment, the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value relevant with this product of reselling can be according to the CO that is used for this product is estimated when a user is sent to another user ₂The quantity of e is determined.In certain embodiments, this CO ₂The quantity of e can be ignored.

In one exemplary embodiment, the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value that product can be relevant with the recycling pattern is relevant.In one exemplary embodiment, the potential ecologic environment quantized value that be used for to reclaim can based on, for example, the CO of the energy correlation that produces with analytical product ₂The quantity of e, quantity of the exotic material that in removal process, loses etc.Product relates to analytical product and the part of its decomposition of use in other products owing to reclaim, and therefore the product by the product manufacturing of reclaiming has potential eco-environmental impact quantized value of lower production phase than the like products by the original material manufacturing.

Compost is another kind of processing mode, can generate the eco-environmental impact quantized value of composting production.Compost is a process processing organic material by aerobic is olation.For example, compost can cause from aerobic decomposition discharging CH ₄And N after fertilizer application arrives ground ₂O can be discharged by soil, but these dischargings are substantially zero.An extra benefit of composting process is obtained exactly carbon and can be come fertile soil with carbon.That another kind is used for reducing the technology that is discharged into the carbon content in the environment by the processing of burying realization.EPA estimates that compost/burying fertilizer per ton reduces by 0.5 tonne of CO ₂The e discharging.In one exemplary embodiment, this Information Availability generates the CO based on compost of the product of compost ₂The eco-environmental impact quantized value of e.In certain embodiments, this eco-environmental impact quantized value can reduce the harm to celestial body.

Another kind of processing mode is to burn.Burning relates to the burning at organic matter in garbage, thus garbage conversion is become ash content, heat and flue gas, these flue gases can comprise a large amount of specific particle materials, heavy metal, bioxin, furans, sulphuric dioxide and hydrochloric acid and/or carbon dioxide.Domestic waste (MSW:Municipal solid waste) comprises the carbon component of the massfraction that is roughly the same with carbon dioxide itself (27%), so 1 ton of domestic waste of burnup generates general 1 ton carbon dioxide.In one exemplary embodiment, the CO that is discharged by burning ₂The quantity of e, the CO that is used to combustion plant to provide energy to produce ₂Quantity of the quantity of e and the Harmful Waste of generation etc. can be integrated into together and be used for generating according to the combustion system of processing the eco-environmental impact quantized value of product treatment.With burning similarly be, by liquid storage can be reflected rubbish evaporation and eco-environmental impact quantized value by the caused harm to environment of evaporating liquid product in evapotranspire bed or mechanical vapor unit.

The processing mode of product comprises product is transported to the landfill district.In the consumer waste filling and embedding operation, refuse collector is transported to dump plaftorm or Working front desk with garbage substance, load of their discharge car at this.After load is removed, packer or dozer can be used to spread out and these rubbish of compacting on construction surface and the rubbish of compacting can be covered with soil every day.

Landfill has caused a lot of problems to environment: such as pollution and the rotten caused pollution of gas that discharges of organism by underground water and soil.The CO in landfill district ₂E discharging major part is because discharge of methane, the discharging of the carbon dioxide that transportation is relevant and because the caused carbon storage of landfill organic waste and house refuse.Metal is carbon containing and do not produce CO not ₂The e discharging, however they can cause ground pollution.For example, salt, nitrate, lead, copper, nickel, cadmium etc. are the different materials that causes ground pollution.Plastics are not degraded so emission greenhouse gas not.This Information Availability generates landfill eco-environmental impact quantized value.

Process in the seabed is another kind of disposal route.This technology relates to precipitate rubbish in bottom sediment, for example, and radioactive waste.The exemplary techniques of precipitation rubbish relates to the bottom that rubbish is mixed in the concrete vanning or enters into the sea with auger spindle.The eco-environmental impact quantized value can consider that thereby rubbish is deposited in large marine caused potential eco-environmental impact to be generated.

Except storing potential eco-environmental impact quantized value, in one exemplary embodiment, database 114 is maintenance customer's account also.User account can be put down in writing blog therein with the user, and upload pictures and the social networks of sending out mutually message etc. associate.Social networks module 116 can be used for generating the one or more webpages can download to computer equipment (for example, desktop individual notebook, smart mobile phone etc.), but this equipment comprises and allows each other mutual operation logic of user.For example, social networks module 116 can send webpage to computing equipment, and this equipment allows the user to put down in writing blog, upload pictures etc.Shown user account 224 can with user 300 relevant (although only shown a user account, system 106 can safeguard a plurality of users).

Except front described, each user account, for example user account 224 can comprise a product tabulation, can comprise the catalogue of the product relevant with user account 224 in this product tabulation.For example, product tabulation 226 can be the operation tabulation of the product that is associated with user account.Related how long each product that the user has bought can be with the selected processing mode of its state (for example, movable or process), treatment product, this product and user account, unique sequence number (this sequence number can be used for the specific production phase of product is associated with the specific user) of product etc. is associated.

Continue the description of Fig. 2, award/punishment information 228 can comprise that indication is according to he or she purchase and/or processing behavior, the data of the award that this user has obtained/punishment.For example, the award that is stored in award/punishment information 228 can comprise an icon, and this icon indication is by the prize of being devoted to generate with the tissue that the friendly mode of environmental protection is taken action.In another embodiment, reward/punishment information table 228 comprises an expression reward voucher, Gift Voucher, indication is free or reduce the information that offers user's 300 services, etc. figure.Similarly, reward/punishment information table 228 also comprises based on processing and/or the punishment relevant with user account 224 of product purchase behavior.For example, punishment can be to collect the charges to the user, has the prize of negative association, etc.

Each user account also can be relevant with the eco-environmental impact scoring, the impact on ecologic environment that this scoring can partly be estimated based on the user.In a particular embodiment, eco-environmental impact scoring can be that the operation of the potential eco-environmental impact quantized value relevant with user account is marked.For example, suppose that the user has the estimation impact scoring at zero point and buys the mobile phone with potential eco-environmental impact quantized value, this quantized value is because 4 when producing mobile phone affect a little.The user used this mobile phone 3 years and according to the past these years in the expense of mobile phone with payment function added up 5 and affected a little.After 3 years, the user may be discarded into this mobile phone in the landfill district and cause 3 to affect a little.The whole potential eco-environmental impact of this mobile phone then is 12 to be affected a little.In this specific embodiment, the scoring of user's eco-environmental impact can be 12 to be affected a little.

In another embodiment, potential eco-environmental impact quantized value can be a factor calculating the eco-environmental impact scoring.In this particular example, the quantity of the environmental protection close friend's that eco-environmental impact scoring can be adopted by the user behavior is adjusted, and for example, buys the carbon credit volume or carries out other behaviors that environment had positive influences.In other exemplary embodiments, how the eco-environmental impact scoring can be adjusted with product based on the user.For example, buy automobile and drive per month once user effectively do not use one of this automobile and user better to select to be select public transport or add such as The Car sharing tissue.In this specific embodiment, but the information negative sense/forward how the description product is used consumingly affects the scoring of user's eco-environmental impact.In another exemplary embodiment, ecological sublimity impact scoring can according to the user as members tissue adjust.For example, the user can be a member in " green " tissue, and this tissue is set product should use requirement how long before processing.In this embodiment, abide by/being not to scale of user can affect his or her eco-environmental impact scoring.
