Each of the above patent applications is incorporated herein by reference.
Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to an environmental credit scoring method and system based on site, user, partner, distributor, verifier and advertising facilitator verification activities.
Background
With the widespread use of the internet and the growth of computing systems, one area that has not yet made significant development is environmental rating techniques and systems. These techniques and systems fail to allow individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations, and government entities to collaborate effectively to address current environmental concerns.
Currently, the earth is facing a number of environmental problems such as climate change, air pollution, ozone depletion, water pollution, deforestation, desertification, habitat destruction, toxic chemicals, natural resource exploitation, light and noise pollution, acid rain, medical waste and litter and landfill. Climate change and global warming are the most serious environmental problems.
With increasing concerns about environmental issues, such as global warming and resource depletion, the types and numbers of certifications and green product standards have increased, and many green certifications developed for homes, schools, manufacturers, restaurants, hotels, cleaning companies, etc. have expanded to wider environmental issues to determine the impact of their products in manufacturing, use, and reuse. Green certification provides confirmation that goods or services meet mandatory or voluntary criteria and provide environmental benefits. Three types of environmental protection product statements have been made by the international organization for standardization (ISO): a first type of recycle label based on ISO14024, a second type of self-declared recycle claim based on ISO14021, and a third type of recycle product claim based on ISO 14025. The third category of environmental protection product claim is a standardized (ISO 14025) and life cycle assessment based tool. For publishing, the third category of environmentalist requires a separate entity, called the project operator, to oversee the entire development process of the environmentalist. The environmental product declaration is a report that focuses on the way a product or service affects the environment throughout its life cycle. This statement is an internationally recognized, independently verified, registered and published document.
While there are currently hundreds of international green product certifications, including about 100 certifications in the united states, they fail to allow individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations, and government entities to collaborate effectively on current environmental issues. In addition, they have limited effectiveness in substantially increasing the level of personal involvement in the environmental activity. The greater consumer demand for environmentally friendly products and services, the greater the incentive for product and service providers to enter the marketplace. Thus, creating an environmental credit scoring system that rewards based on an individual's environmental activities and uses environmental credit scores in decisions (e.g., university admission decisions, employment decisions) can increase global demand for environmentally friendly products and services.
Verification of the environmental activity of individuals and product and service providers plays an important role in determining the confidence in the environmental impact of their environmental activity. Since product and service providers can create an eco-product claim for their products and services and conduct Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) research on their own (internal LCA experts), verification of eco-product claims by independent verification authorities is the most critical step in determining the reliability of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Environmental product claims that approve products or services based on inaccurate or misleading results LCA may increase the need for damaging environmental products and services. In addition, verifiers can seek tasks and arrange to contract with product and service providers to verify the eco-product claim of their products and services without the involvement of the project operator. Thus, it is difficult to ensure that the verifier or verification company employee remains independent. Therefore, there is a need to overcome the above-mentioned problems.
Accordingly, there is a need for an environmental credit scoring method and system based on verified participant activity.
Various embodiments of the invention are provided in the following detailed description and accompanying drawings. The invention is capable of embodiments in various forms and its several details are capable of modifications in various respects, all without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the description and drawings of the present invention are provided by way of illustration only and are not intended to limit or define the scope of the invention as defined by the claims of the present patent application.

In some implementations, devices from user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, and verifier device 116, server computer system 124, compute node 122, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 can include one or more devices 400 and/or one or more components of device 400 (e.g., communication infrastructure 410, memory 404, input component 414, output component 412, storage component 402, communication interface 408).
Devices from user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, server computer system 124, compute node 122, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 may be computing and/or communication devices (e.g., mobile phones, workstations, cell phones, personal computers, gaming devices, smart phones, tablets, laptops, smart watches, server computers, or any other type of computing device capable of communicating with server computer system 124). The partner 104 may use the service point system 118 to communicate with the server computer system 124.

The server computer system 124 may correspond to the device 400 having the processor 406 and different arrangements of components, additional components, different components, fewer components than those shown in fig. 4. (e.g., communication infrastructure 410, memory 404, input component 414, output component 412, storage component 402, communication interface 408), where a computer program or programs may be stored on memory 404 and/or storage component 402 and have executable instructions for performing the functions of server computer system 124 as described herein.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may be configured to use blockchains to store data for use. The blockchain may operate from a blockchain network consisting of a plurality of computing nodes 122, a plurality of site devices 129, a plurality of advertisement service provider devices 127, a plurality of service point systems 118, a plurality of user devices 110, a plurality of partner devices 112, a plurality of distributor devices 114, and/or a plurality of verifier devices 116. In some implementations, the computing nodes 122 can include systems associated with the users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, and/or verifiers 108. A block chain may be composed of a plurality of blocks, where each block in the block chain may include one or more data values and a block header. The blocks of the blockchain can be guaranteed against tampering and modification. The block header of each block in the block chain may include at least a block reference value, a time stamp, and a data reference value. The block reference value may be a reference to a previous block added to the chain of blocks, and the data reference value may be a reference to one or more data values included in each block. In an exemplary embodiment, one or more hash algorithms (e.g., cryptographic hash algorithm, cryptographic hash function) may be applied to the chunk reference value and the data reference value. Applying one or more hash algorithms to the tile reference value and the data reference value may result in a hash value such that the reference value needs to be regenerated if the corresponding data is modified. This may make the block chain immutable, as it is necessary to propagate any modifications through other blocks in the block chain. Each node in the blockchain network may store an entire copy of the blockchain, or a portion thereof. Thus, tampering with the blockchain may be nearly impossible, as any modifications must be made at each node of the blockchain network, and then a new block added to the blockchain. Thus, a block of the blockchain may be guaranteed to be free from tampering and modification.
The data values included in each block of the blockchain may include stored data used by the server computer system 124, the plurality of computing nodes 122, the plurality of user devices 110, the plurality of partner devices 112, the plurality of distributor devices 114, the plurality of verifier devices 116, the plurality of site devices 129, the plurality of advertising service provider devices 127, and/or other entities or systems for storage. For example, in some cases, the blockchain may be used to store campaign data (e.g., environmental campaigns conducted by users of users 102, environmental campaigns reported or confirmed by partners of partners 104, environmental campaigns distributed by distributors of distributors 106, verification campaigns conducted by verifiers of verifiers 108, advertising campaigns conducted by advertising service providers of advertising service providers 126, site campaigns reported by site devices of site devices 129), each campaign may include a transfer or exchange of information. In this case, each data value may include, but is not limited to, identification data (e.g., account identification, biometric data, blockchain identification, public keys, data acquired by imaging devices including images, videos, and/or real-time videos for identification purposes) of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, sites 128, and/or advertising service providers 126 and activity data related thereto for activities including transferring or exchanging information between server computer systems 124, multiple users 102, multiple partners 104, multiple distributors 106, multiple verifiers 108, multiple sites 128, multiple advertising service providers 126, and/or other entities or systems. There may be a single blockchain for all activities of the user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, site 128, and/or advertising service provider 126, or a separate blockchain for each account of the user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, site 128, and/or advertising service provider 126.
In embodiments where the blockchain may be a licensed blockchain (access control), the processor 406 of the server computer system 124, the plurality of computing nodes 122, the plurality of user devices 110, the plurality of partner devices 112, the plurality of distributor devices 114, the plurality of verifier devices 116, the plurality of site devices 129, and/or the plurality of advertising service provider devices 127 may be configured to execute one or more sets of computer readable instructions (software instructions) stored on the storage component 402 and/or the memory 404 in a trusted execution environment (a secure region of the processor).
In embodiments where a blockchain may be utilized, the blockchain may be a licensed blockchain, a public blockchain, or a private blockchain. In embodiments where the blockchain may be a licensed blockchain, the blockchain may only be accessible by participants who are allowed access to the blockchain, where access may be controlled (e.g., verifying or confirming a transaction, viewing data on the blockchain network may require licensing).
In some cases, the blockchain may be used to store verifier 108 activity data related to the environmentally friendly product claim validation activity of one or more products and/or services of one or more partners 104. In this case, each data value included in each tile in the chain of tiles may include, but is not limited to, identification data (e.g., account identification, biometric data, tile chain identification, public key, data acquired by an imaging device including images, video, and/or real-time video for identification purposes) of one or more verifiers 108, and/or partners 104, and activity data associated therewith, for one or more green product claims verified by the verifiers 108, wherein new tiles may be added as the green product claims are updated, added, and/or verified, wherein a chain of tiles may be established for all green product claims verified by all verifiers, a separate chain of tiles for green product claims verified by each verifier, or a separate chain of tiles for green product related to each verifier account, and/or partner account.
In some cases, the blockchain may be used to store environmental credit scores for the user 102, partner 104, and/or distributor 106, where each data value included in the blockchain may include identification data (e.g., account identification, biometric data, blockchain identification, public keys, data acquired by imaging devices including images, videos, and/or real-time videos used for identification purposes) for the user 102, partner 104, and/or distributor 106 and associated environmental credit scores, where new blocks may be added when the environmental credit scores are updated, where there may be a single blockchain for all partners 104 to confirm and/or report all environmental activities, a separate blockchain for each partner 104 to confirm and/or report environmental activities, or a separate blockchain of environmental activities associated with each user account, partner account, and/or distributor account. Using a blockchain may ensure that the environmental activity data and/or environmental credit score are not tampered with or skewed because the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, site device 129, advertising service provider device 127, service point system 118, and computing node 122 in the environmental credit scoring system 100 shown in fig. 1 may verify each block in the blockchain and view the environmental activity data and environmental credit score.
In some embodiments, server computer system 124 may be a node in a blockchain network and may be configured to generate new blocks (e.g., including updated environmental credit scores, new data received from site device 129, new data received from point of service system 118 of one or more partners 104 or other systems associated with user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, and/or verifier 108, new data received from user devices, partner devices, distributor devices, and advertising service provider device 127) that are validated by other nodes and added to the blockchain. In some embodiments, service point system 118 may also be one node in a blockchain network and may be configured to generate new blocks that are verified by other nodes and added to the blockchain. In other embodiments, the server computer system 124, site device 129, service point system 118, user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertisement service provider device 127, and/or other entity or system may transmit data to be stored in the blockchain to nodes in the blockchain network to add thereto.

One or more employees of the distributor 106 may be enabled by the server computer system 124 to select one or more external systems (e.g., external identity management systems, etc.) that authenticate the distributor 106 before allowing it to register with the server computer system 124, wherein authentication by one or more external systems may occur before or after submitting the registration request, and the registration request may not be accepted by the server computer system 124 if one or more employees of the distributor 106 are not authenticated by one or more external systems.
As an example, a person may register with server computer system 124 to create a profile for a user by interacting with a network interface displayed on a device associated with user 102. The profile may include, but is not limited to, information indicating a username, a user address, a passport number, a taxpayer identification number, a telephone number, an email address, information about the user's environmental activity (e.g., information about home energy, transportation, waste, food, shopping, etc.), approval by a registering partner (e.g., partner 104 and registered with server computer system 124) and/or verifying a system external to user 102, any other information uniquely identifying user 102, and/or any other information that may require registration with server computer system 124. In some implementations, the environmental activity information provided by the user 102 may be verified by registered partners 104 and/or unregistered entities. One or more individuals may be enabled by the server computer system 124 to select one or more external systems (e.g., external identity management systems, etc.) that authenticate the user 102 prior to allowing the user 102 to register with the server computer system 124, where authentication of the one or more external systems may occur before or after submitting the registration request, and the registration request may not be accepted by the server computer system 124 if the user 102 is not authenticated by the one or more external systems.
As an example, an individual verifier and/or an employee of verifier 108 (e.g., a university, company, organization, government entity, etc.) may register with server computer system 124 to create a profile for verifier 108 by interacting with a network interface displayed on a device associated with the verifier. The profile may include, but is not limited to, a profile indicating the verifier's name, verifier's address, type of verifier (e.g., university, company, organization, government entity), other information (e.g., taxpayer identification number, telephone number, email address), one or more geographic locations where the verifier is located, environmental product claim for each product or service verified by the verifier, approval of registered partners (e.g., partner 104 registered at server computer system 124), verification of external systems of verifier 108, any other information uniquely identifying verifier 108, and/or any other information that may be required for registration at server computer system 124. One or more individual verifiers or employees of verifier 108 may be enabled by server computer system 124 to select one or more external systems (e.g., external identity management systems and/or the like) that verify verifier 108, verify them before allowing verifier 108 to register with server computer system 124, wherein verification of the one or more external systems may occur before or after submission of the registration request, and the registration request may not be accepted by server computer system 124 if verifier 108 is not verified by the one or more external systems.
As one example, employees of personal advertising service providers and/or advertising service providers (e.g., universities, companies, organizations, government entities, etc.) of the advertising service providers 126 may register with the server computer system 124 by interacting with a network interface displayed on the advertising service provider devices 127 associated with the advertising service providers 126 to create profiles for the advertising service providers 126. The profile may include, but is not limited to, information indicating the advertisement service provider name, the advertisement service provider address, the advertisement service provider type (e.g., university, company, organization, government entity), other information (e.g., tax payer identification number, telephone number, email address), one or more geographic locations where the advertisement service provider 126 is located, the environmental product claim for each product or service used by the advertisement service provider 126, approval by a registration partner (e.g., partner 104 and registered on server computer system 124), verification of external systems of the advertisement service provider 126, any other information uniquely identifying the advertisement service provider 126, and/or any other information that may be required for registration at server computer system 124. One or more advertising service providers 126 may be enabled by the server computer system 124 to select one or more external systems (e.g., external identity management systems and/or the like) that authenticate the advertising service provider 126 before allowing it to register on the server computer system 124, where authentication of the one or more external systems may occur before or after submission of the registration request, and the registration request may not be accepted by the server computer system 124 if the advertising service provider 126 is not authenticated by the one or more external systems.
The server computer system 124 can interact with an interface for one or more registered and authenticated verifiers 108 to submit a registration request to the server computer system 124 to register one or more sites 128 and register or register one or more site devices 129 of one or more partners 104 on the server computer system 124. As an example, one or more registration verifiers 108 can interact with an interface displayed on the site device 129 site device to create a profile for one or more sites 128 of one or more partners 104 and submit the profile as a registration request to server computer system 124. Server computer system 124 can authenticate one or more site 128 and one or more site devices 129 before allowing one or more registration verifiers 108 to register them. The profile for each site may include, but is not limited to, information indicative of the name of the site, identification information of partners of the partner 104 (e.g., name, account identification, blockchain identification, public key, etc.), partner addresses, partner types (e.g., universities, companies, organizations, government entities), identification information of one or more site devices 129 (e.g., a unique site device identification that may be printed on the site device and/or provided to the verifier by the server computer system 124, which may be in human and machine readable form), and/or any other information that may be required to register one or more sites 128 at the server computer system 124. In some embodiments, the unique site device serial number or identification and partner account identification, blockchain identification, or public key of one or more site devices 129 may be in the form of a quick response code (two-dimensional code), barcode, NFC tag, radio frequency identification tag, or any electronic tag, and/or any other technique or device that may be read by the site device 129, wherein during registration of one or more sites 128 and/or during installation of one or more site devices 129 on partner sites 128, one or more verifiers 108 may use site devices 129 and their associated components to read the two-dimensional code, barcode, NFC tag, radio frequency identification tag, or any electronic tag, and server computer system 124 may automatically populate fields of the registration request form with the desired information relating to the partner, verifier, and/or site device 129 after site device 129 reads the two-dimensional code, barcode, NFC tag, radio frequency identification tag, or any electronic tag that may be read by site device 129.
In some implementations, registration requests for one or more sites 128 can be submitted by one or more verifiers 108 at the location of one or more partners 104 using one or more site devices 129. Each registration request data for one or more sites 128 submitted by one or more verifiers 108 to server computer system 124 using one or more site devices 129 may include, but is not limited to, time of day, geolocation data (e.g., GPS/AGPS coordinates) of partners 104, one or more verifiers 108 and one or more site devices 129, identification data (e.g., account identification, biometric data, block chain identification, public key, etc.) of partners 104 and/or one or more verifiers 108, and/or identification data (e.g., images, videos, and/or real-time videos, unique site device identification) of one or more sites 128, wherein images, videos, and/or real-time videos obtained by one or more imaging devices of one or more site devices 129 during registration of the site and installation of one or more site devices 129 may be stored in a database of server computer system 124 for use by one or more algorithms, machine learning, and/or neural trained network devices and verification of one or more network devices and by deep learning (e.g., image or video recognition site algorithms) to the site.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can authenticate the one or more registered verifiers 108, as well as the registration partners of the partner 104, prior to registering the one or more sites 128 with the server computer system 124, prior to registering the one or more site devices 129 with the server computer system 124, and/or prior to enabling the one or more site devices 129 to access the server computer system 124 to perform one or more functions of the site devices described herein. If the authentication is unsuccessful, the registration request may be rejected by the server computer system 124. Registration requests for one or more sites 128 may also be rejected by the server computer system 124 if one or more site devices 129, registration partners of the partner 104, and/or one or more registration verifiers 108 are not at partner locations (e.g., addresses of partners) stored in the server computer system 124 database or within a predetermined distance from partner locations (e.g., addresses of partners) stored in the server computer system 124 database during the registration site of the site 128.
The server computer system 124 may cause one or more registered and authenticated partners 104 to interact with an interface to submit registration requests to the server computer system 124 for registering or registering one or more service point systems 118 of one or more partners 104 with the server computer system 124 to enable the one or more service point systems 118 to access the server computer system 124 to perform one or more functions of the service point system 118 as described herein.

In some implementations, the hardware identification may also include a pairing identity, such as an international mobile subscriber identity ("IMSI") number, of one or more sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 127 and devices associated therewith. The hardware identification may also include a combination of these and other identifications of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, and/or advertising service provider device 127. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that other forms of device identification information may be substituted for a portion of providing the device identification information to the server computer system 124 herein. In some embodiments, the device identification information may be generated by one or more site devices 129 and transmitted to the server computer system 124 during or after registration.
Server computer system 124 may associate information data of users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 127 with device identification information of their associated devices (user devices 110, partner devices 112, distributor devices 114, verifier devices 116, and/or advertising service provider devices 127). The server computer system 124 may also associate one or more sites 128 with device identification information for their associated devices, one or more site devices 129. The server computer system 124 may also associate one or more of the partners 104 with the device identification information of their associated device, or devices, of the service point system(s) 118.
The server computer system 124 can store the information data of the associated one or more sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 127 and the device identification data of their associated devices (site device 129, service point system 118, user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, and/or advertising service provider device 127) in storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124.
At step 214, the server computer system 124 may generate one or more requests for one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 to create one or more biometric templates (e.g., facial templates) for display on their associated devices (user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, and/or advertising service provider device 127) during or after registration. The server computer system 124 can also generate one or more requests to create one or more image, video, and/or real-time video templates for display on the one or more verifier devices 116 to create one or more templates for the one or more sites 128 during or after registration of the one or more sites 128 and/or during or after registration and installation of the one or more site devices 129.
At step 216, the server computer system 124 may receive data or one or more data records comprised of biometric information (e.g., facial image data) of one or more users 102, partner devices 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 acquired by one or more sensors (e.g., CMOS and CCD sensors) of one or more user devices 110, partner devices 112, distributor devices 114, verifier devices 108, and/or advertising service provider devices 127. The server computer system 124 can also receive data, including image, video, and/or real-time video information for one or more sites 128 (e.g., image, video, and/or real-time video data for a site). The data or data records may be received in real time.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can generate a biometric template (e.g., a facial template) for each of the user 102, the partner 104, the distributor 106, the verifier 108, and/or the advertising services provider 126 based on the received biometric information (e.g., facial image data). In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may also generate image, video, and/or real-time video templates (e.g., site image, video, and/or real-time video templates) for each site 128 based on the received image, video, and/or real-time video information (e.g., site image, video, and/or real-time video data). The server computer system 124 may associate information data of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 127 with their biometric template data (e.g., facial template data) and/or biometric information (e.g., facial image data). In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can generate a biometric template (e.g., a facial template) by extracting one or more biometric (e.g., facial image) features from the received biometric information (e.g., facial image data) using one or more algorithms. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can generate the image, video, and/or real-time video template by extracting one or more site image, video, and/or real-time video features from the received image, video, and/or real-time video information.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can also associate the information data of one or more sites 128 with their image, video, and/or real-time video template data (e.g., image, video, and/or real-time video template data) and/or image, video, and/or real-time video information (e.g., image, video, and/or real-time video data). In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may store the information data of the relevant user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, and/or advertising service provider 127 along with their biometric template data (e.g., facial template data) and/or biometric information (e.g., facial image data) in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124. In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may also store the information data of the relevant sites 128 and their image, video, and/or real-time video template data (e.g., image, video, and/or real-time video template data) and/or image, video, and/or real-time video information (e.g., image, video, and/or real-time video data) in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124.
At step 218, the server computer system 124 may receive data or one or more data records including geographic location data (e.g., GPS/AGPS coordinates) of one or more site devices 129, service point systems 118, user devices 110, partner devices 112, distributor devices 114, verifier devices 116, and/or advertising service provider devices 127. The geographic location data (e.g., GPS/AGPS coordinates) may be obtained by its GPS/AGPS component during or after registration. The server computer system 124 may associate the information data of one or more of the site device 129, the service point system 118, the user device 110, the partner device 112, the distributor device 114, the verifier device 116, and/or the advertising service provider device 127 with their geographic location data (e.g., GPS/AGPS coordinates). The server computer system 124 may store information data and its geographic location data (e.g., GPS/AGPS coordinates) of the associated site device 129, service point system 118, user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, and/or advertising service provider device 127 in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124.
At step 220, the server computer system 124 may create multiple request identifications for multiple combinations or sets. Each request identification may be combined with a combination or set. Each combination or set may represent an authentication method that may be used to authenticate each site 128, user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, and/or advertising service provider 126 and its associated equipment.
In some implementations, the creation of multiple combinations or sets of multiple request identifications by the server computer system 124 can be accomplished during registration of one or more sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 based on data received from one or more site devices 129, service point systems 118, user devices 110, partner devices 112, distributor devices 114, verifier devices 116, and/or advertising service provider devices 127.
For example, the combination of the user, user credential information, device Physical Unclonable Function (PUF), device identification information, and geographic location data may represent a five-factor authentication method. The first factor is: are users that may be represented by biometric features of the user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, and/or advertising facilitator 126, site images, videos, live video features of each site 128. The second factor is user credential information, which may be represented by credential information (e.g., public key, private key, username, password, personal Identification Number (PIN), secret key, etc.) of each user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, and/or advertising service provider 126. A third factor is a device PUF, which may be represented by a unique device identification (e.g., SRAM-PUF, CMOS sensor PUF) for each of site device 129, service site system 118, user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, and/or advertising service provider device 127. The fourth factor is device identification information, which may be represented by one or more pieces of information that are stored locally in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, and/or advertising service provider device 127, and that uniquely identify each device (e.g., a media access control ("MAC") address, an international mobile equipment identity ("IMEI") number, an international mobile subscriber identity ("IMSI") number, etc.). A fifth factor is geolocation data, which may be represented by geolocation data (e.g., GPS/AGPS coordinates) of each of site device 129, service point system 118, user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, and/or advertising service provider device 127.
These combinations may include, but are not limited to: ( A user 102 biometric obtained by one or more sensors of user device 110, user 102 credential information, a user device's 110PUF, user device 110 identification information, and/or verified geolocation data of user device 110), (a partner 104 biometric obtained by one or more sensors of partner device 112, credential information of partner 104, partner device 112PUF, identification information of partner device 112, and/or verified geolocation data of partner device 112), (a biometric obtained by one or more sensors of distributor device 114, distributor's 106 credential information, distributor device's PUF, identification information of distributor device 114, and/or the verified geolocation data of distributor device 114), (biometric characteristics of the verifier obtained by one or more sensors of verifier device 116, verifier 108 credential information, the PUF of the verifier device, identification information of verifier device 116, and/or verified geolocation data of verifier device 116), (advertising service provider biometric characteristics obtained by one or more sensors of advertising service provider device 127, credential information of advertising service provider 126, PUF of advertising service provider device, identification information of advertising service provider device 127, and/or verified geolocation data of advertising service provider device 127), (biometric characteristics of partner obtained by one or more sensors of service point system 118, credential information of partner 104, PUF of service point system, identification information of service point system 118, and/or verified geolocation data of service point system. ). (site 128 image, video, and/or real-time video features, verifier 108 credential information, the PUF of the site device, identification information of the site device 129, and/or verified geolocation data of the site device 129), and/or (verifier biometric features obtained by one or more sensors of the site device 129, site image, video, and/or real-time video features, verifier 108 credential information, the PUF of the site device, identification information of the site device 129, and/or verified geolocation data of the site device 129).
At step 222, the server computer system 124 may store the combination to which each created request identification is associated in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can associate each created request identification with information data (e.g., device identification data, credential information) of one or more sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 and their associated devices during registration, where the request identification can be transmitted to the server computer system 124 when each of the multiple sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 seeks access permission from the server computer system 124 using its associated device.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can authenticate one or more sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 127 and their associated devices according to the type of combination. The combination type may include a single factor authentication method: a user; the two-factor authentication method comprises the following steps: a user, device PUF; the three-factor authentication method comprises the following steps: user, device PUF and geolocation data; the four-factor authentication method comprises the following steps: a user, a device PUF, device identification information, and geographic location data; and a five-factor authentication method: a user, user credential information, a device PUF, device identification information, and geographic location data. Single-factor, two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and five-factor authentication methods may include any factor. In some embodiments, the factors of the authentication method may be determined based on information data received by the server computer system 124 from one or more of the site device 129, the service point system 118, the user device 110, the partner device 112, the distributor device 114, the verifier device 116, and/or the advertising service provider device 127 during registration.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may enable one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 127 to register based on a single-factor, and/or two-factor authentication method, which may include either of two factors (user, user credential information), not registering their associated devices during registration, which they may be enabled by the server computer system 124 to register their associated devices after they register and authenticate the server computer system 124. For example, a single-factor authentication method that utilizes user 102 credential information (e.g., a public key, username, password, personal Identification Number (PIN), key, etc.) may be used to authenticate one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 127. Then, after authentication, one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 127 may be enabled by server computer system 124 to register their associated devices.
In some implementations, the combination may include one or more types of biometric information (e.g., facial features, voice features, fingerprint features, and eye features) to authenticate one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126. For example, a five-factor authentication method for authenticating one or more users 102 may include user facial features, voice features, fingerprint features, and/or eye features, user 102 credential information, user 102 device PUF, user 102 device identification information, and geographic data or geolocation data.
In some implementations, the biometric information of the facial features can be used to authenticate one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126. In some implementations, images, video, and/or real-time video features can be used to authenticate one or more sites 128.
In some implementations, any type of biometric information may be used in place of the biometric information of the facial features. Further, a particular embodiment may utilize multiple types of biometric information (e.g., facial features, voice features, fingerprint features, and eye features) to authenticate one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126.
In some implementations, one or more Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) of user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and service point system 118 may be silicon PUFs, one or more integrated circuits that may be used to authenticate devices, device-related components, and/or sensors. In some implementations, the PUF may be a memory (memory chip of the device) based PUF, where the device may include flash memory, memristors, static Random Access Memory (SRAM), magnetic RAM or Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM), and/or resistive random access memory (ReRAM). In some embodiments, the PUF may be sensor-based (e.g., fingerprint sensor-based PUF, complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) sensor-PUF).
In some implementations, the PUFs of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and service point system 118 can include one or more electronic circuits that produce a unique physical characteristic output that depends on a Physical Unclonable Function (PUF). For example, due to variations in manufacturing processes, an Integrated Circuit (IC) is composed of transistors having different physical characteristics. For example, due to variations in manufacturing processes, the electronic characteristics of transistors (e.g., transistor threshold voltage, gain factor) are different, measurable. In some implementations, the PUFs of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and service point system 118 can include one or more electronic circuits on an electronic chip that produce an output based on unique physical characteristics of the one or more electronic circuits. In some implementations, responsive to receiving the input, the PUFs of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and service point system 118 can be configured to generate an output, where the generated output is based on the unique physical characteristics of the PUFs and/or the input.
In some implementations, without receiving input, the PUFs of user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and service point system 118 may be configured to generate an output. For example, an output (e.g., a unique value) may be obtained from an SRAM-based PUF by requesting the state of an SRAM bit for one or more addresses of the SRAM.
At step 224, the server computer system 124 may receive one or more request identifications from one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 to access the server computer system 124 to register its associated devices, wherein the one or more request identifications may be transmitted from its associated devices (user devices 110, partner devices 112, distributor devices 114, verifier devices 116, and/or advertising service provider devices 127). The server computer system 124 can also receive one or more request identifications from one or more verifiers 108, where the request identifications can be transmitted from each of the one or more site devices 129. The server computer system 124 may also receive one or more request identifications from one or more partners 104, where the request identification may be sent from each of the service point systems 118 of the partners 104.
At step 226, the server computer system 124 may validate each request identification received by comparing it to the request identifications created and stored in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124. The server computer system 124 may generate one or more challenges and transmit or communicate the one or more challenges to the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertisement service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or point of service system 118 upon accepting each received request identification. In some implementations, the device may communicate one or more challenges as inputs to a PUF (e.g., CMOS sensor-based PUF, SRAM-based PUF) of each of the service point system 118, site device 129, user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, and/or advertising service provider device 127 to produce a response (output) corresponding to each challenge. The server computer system 124 may generate one or more challenges for each combination bound to each request identification during registration of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertisement service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118. Each of the one or more challenges may include a random value (e.g., a random bit string).
At step 228, user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or point of service system 118 can be configured to generate a key using the generated output of the PUF, which generated output is constant for a fixed input, or to generate as a value a unique device identification using one or more algorithms (e.g., a fuzzy extractor, also known as a helper data algorithm, a BCH fuzzy extractor, an efficient fuzzy extractor using a BCH, using epipolar lines of HA-SCL, and/or using epipolar lines connecting the BCH and the epipolar line codes in series). In some implementations, user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 may be configured to map each output or response of a PUF to a key or unique device identification.
In some embodiments, where the generated output of the PUF is a noisy output or is not the exact same output that may be generated in response to receiving the fixed input twice, user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 may be configured to generate a constant value (e.g., a key, a unique device identification, a secret, etc.) for the fixed input using one or more algorithms (e.g., a fuzzy extractor, also known as a helper data algorithm, a BCH fuzzy extractor, an efficient fuzzy extractor using a BCH, epipolar lines using HA-SCL, and/or epipolar lines using a serial connection of the BCH and the epipolar line code) using the generated noisy output of the PUF during authentication of the device. The one or more algorithms and/or one or more methods may include a fuzzy extractor, also known as a helper data algorithm, a BCH fuzzy extractor, an efficient fuzzy extractor using BCH, epipolar using HA-SCL, and/or an epipolar, error Correcting Code (ECC) method using serial connection BCH and epipolar codes.
In some implementations, the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or point of service system 118 can be configured to generate the helper data using the generated output of the PUF using one or more algorithms and/or methods (e.g., fuzzy extractor, also known as helper data algorithm, BCH fuzzy extractor, efficient fuzzy extractor using BCH, epipolar line using HA-SCL, and/or epipolar line using serial connection of BCH and epipolar line codes, error Correction Code (ECC) method). For example, the device may receive one or more challenges, may generate one or more PUF responses, may generate one or more cryptographic keys or unique device identifications, and may generate one or more helper data.
At step 230, the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 may create and transmit to the server computer system 124 one or more sets of values, each set of values may include one or more challenges, helper data, generated unique device identifications or keys, and/or one or more responses (outputs) to the generated PUF in response to receiving one or more fixed inputs (e.g., in response to receiving the same challenge twice). In some embodiments, one or more values of the one or more value sets may be encrypted by the device prior to sending them to the server computer system 124, where the encryption may be decrypted by the server computer system 124 after receiving the values. In some implementations, one or more responses (outputs) of the PUF may not be stored in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can associate the informational data of one or more site devices 129, service point systems 118, user devices 110, partner devices 112, distributor devices 114, verifier devices 116, and/or advertisement service provider devices 127 with their one or more challenges, helper data, generated keys or unique device identifications, and/or one or more responses (outputs) of PUFs. The server computer system 124 may store the information data of the associated site device 129, service point system 118, user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, and/or advertising service provider device 127 with their one or more challenges, helper data, generated key or unique device identification, and/or one or more responses (outputs) of the PUF in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can transmit the challenge and the helper data to the user device 110, the partner device 112, the distributor device 114, the verifier device 116, the advertisement service provider device 127, the site device 129, and/or the service point system 118, where one or more of the devices can recover one or more keys or unique device identification using the PUF using one or more algorithms and/or methods.
At step 232, the server computer system 124 may store the one or more value sets in the storage component 402 and/or the memory 404 of the server computer system 124. In embodiments where the server computer system 124 may not store a key or unique device identification value, the server computer system 124 may store the result value of one or more unique device identifications or key functions (e.g., f (key)).
In implementations where the server computer system 124 may store a key or unique device identification one-way function (e.g., a cryptographic hash function or similar function), the server computer system 124 may transmit the stored challenge and assistance data to the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertisement service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or point of service system 118, where one or more devices may recover one or more keys or unique device identifications and send them to the server computer system 124. The server computer system 124 may authenticate the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or point of service system 118 by checking whether the received one or more keys or unique device identification functions are equal to the stored one or more keys or unique device identification functions (e.g., f (received key) = f (stored key)).
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can authenticate the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or point of service system 118 using one or more challenges, helper data, generated unique device identifications or keys, and/or one or more responses (outputs) that generate PUFs in response to receiving one or more fixed inputs (e.g., in response to receiving the same challenge twice).
In some embodiments, server computer system 124 can integrate the constant values (e.g., keys, or unique device identifications) of one or more user devices 110, partner devices 112, distributor devices 114, verifier devices 116, advertising service provider devices 127, site devices 129, and/or point of service systems 118 received during enrollment with one or more templates (e.g., facial templates, site images, videos, or real-time video templates) of one or more sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 127 generated during enrollment using one or more algorithms (e.g., a BioHashing algorithm), where the one or more templates generated as a result of integration can be stored in storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of server computer system 124.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may use one or more algorithms to integrate two or more of the two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication methods, where the integration is based on a combination of multiple ones of the two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication methods, and where one or more templates generated as a result of the integration may be stored in the storage component 402 and/or the memory 404 of the server computer system 124. For example, when using a five-factor authentication method that includes biometric or live images, video or real-time video information, user credential information, device PUF, device identification information, and geolocation data, the server computer system 124 may integrate constant values (e.g., keys, or unique device identifications), templates (e.g., facial templates, live images, video or real-time video templates), user credential information, device identification information, and geolocation data using one or more algorithms, where the integration is based on a plurality of combinations.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may store the received information related to the factors of the two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication methods during enrollment based on multiple combinations of factors without performing integration (the integration using one or more algorithms), where each combination may represent a template that incorporates two or more factors, where one or more templates generated as a result of each combination may be stored in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124.
At step 234, the server computer system 124 may receive a request identification from one or more devices associated with one or more of the user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, and/or advertising service provider 126 to access the server computer system 124 to perform one or more of its functions described herein, wherein the request identification may be transmitted from each of its associated devices. Server computer system 124 may also receive a request identification from each verifier 108, where the request identification may be transmitted from each site device 129. The server computer system 124 may also receive a request identification from each of the partners 104, where the request identification may be sent from each of the service point systems 118 of the partners 104. The server computer system 124 may also receive a request identification from each site device 129.
At step 236, the server computer system 124 may verify each request identification received by comparing it to the request identifications created and stored in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124. The server computer system 124 may generate and transmit or communicate one or more challenges to the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertisement service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or point of service system 118 upon accepting each received request identification. In some implementations, the device can communicate one or more challenges as inputs to a PUF (e.g., CMOS sensor-based PUF, SRAM-based PUF) to generate a response (output) corresponding to each challenge.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can transmit the challenge value, the helper data, and/or the cryptographic value to the user device 110, the partner device 112, the distributor device 114, the verifier device 116, the advertisement service provider device 127, the site device 129, and/or the service point system 118 upon accepting each received request identification. The server computer system 124 may generate an encrypted value by encrypting a value with a key, where the value may only be used once. The server computer system 124 may be configured to generate a new value and encrypt the new value with a key upon accepting each received request identification. The key may include a key or unique device identification generated during registration of one or more devices with the server computer system 124. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can be configured to generate asymmetric cryptographic key pairs (public and private). In this case, the server computer system 124 may generate the encrypted value by encrypting the public key with a key or unique device identification generated during registration of the one or more devices with the server computer system 124. In other embodiments, the server computer system 124 may be configured to generate a symmetric encryption key. In this case, the server computer system 124 may generate the encrypted value by encrypting the symmetric encryption key with a key or unique device identification generated during registration of the one or more devices by the server computer system 124.
In embodiments where the cryptographic value is a public key, one or more of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 may perform a cryptographic operation using the recovered one or more cryptographic keys or unique device identifications to recover the cryptographic value (public key).
At step 238, the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or point of service system 118 can be configured to generate a key, secret, or unique device identification as a value using a generated output of the PUF for which the generated output is invariant to fixed inputs using one or more algorithms and/or methods (e.g., fuzzy extractor, BCH fuzzy extractor, high efficiency fuzzy extractor using BCH, epipolar extractor using HA-SCL, and/or epipolar, error Correction Code (ECC) methods using serial connection of BCH and epipolar codes). In some implementations, where the generated output of the PUF is a noisy output or is not the same output generated in response to receiving the fixed input twice, the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or point of service system 118 may be configured to recover a constant value (e.g., a key, or a unique device identification) using one or more algorithms and/or methods using the generated noisy output, challenge, and helper data of the PUF. The one or more algorithms and/or the one or more methods may include a ambiguity extractor, also known as a helper data algorithm, a BCH ambiguity extractor, an efficient ambiguity extractor using BCH, epipolar using HA-SCL, and/or an epipolar, error Correcting Code (ECC) method using epipolar lines serially connecting BCH and epipolar codes.
In some embodiments, the recovered constant value (e.g., a key, or a unique device identification) may be used to encrypt and decrypt data or one or more information, where one or more of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertisement service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 may be configured to encrypt the one or more information by: after receiving the data or one or more messages, they may be decrypted by the server computer system 124 using the recovered constant value (e.g., a key, or a unique device identification).
At step 240, the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 may perform an encryption operation using one or more of the recovered keys or unique device identifications to recover the encrypted values.
At step 242, the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 may encrypt one or more messages using the recovered decrypted value and one or more algorithms before sending the messages to the server computer system 124. The decrypted value may be used to encrypt, using one or more algorithms, one or more pieces of information relating to the factors of the authentication method that includes the device PUF as a factor and then transmits them to the server computer system 124. For example, when using a five-factor authentication method that includes biometric information, user credential information, device PUF, device identification information, and geolocation data, the decrypted value may be used to encrypt using one or more algorithm data or one or more information related to the biometric information, user credential information, device identification information, and geolocation data before transmitting them to the server computer system 124.
In some implementations, the recovered constant value (e.g., a key, or unique device identification) can be used to encrypt one or more information related to factors that include the device PUF as a factor authentication method prior to transmitting them to the server computer system 124 using one or more algorithms. For example, when using a five-factor authentication method that includes biometric information, user credential information, device PUF, device identification information, and geolocation data, the recovered constant value (e.g., a key, or a unique device identification) may be encrypted using one or more algorithm data or one or more information related to the biometric information, user credential information, device identification information, and geolocation data before being transmitted to the server computer system 124.
In some implementations, one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 127 may first use their credential information as a single-factor authentication method, and then server computer system 124 may authenticate them using any combination of the other four factors (two-factor, three-factor, or four-factor) (biometric information, device PUF, device identification information, and geolocation data). In this case, the decrypted value may be used to encrypt using one or more algorithm data or one or more information relating to the authentication method factor (two, three, or four factors) before transmitting them to the server computer system 124.
In some embodiments, the decrypted value may be used to encrypt and decrypt the data or the one or more messages, wherein one or more of the user device 110, the partner device 112, the distributor device 114, the verifier device 116, the advertising service provider device 127, the site device 129, and/or the point of service system 118 may be configured to encrypt the one or more messages by decrypting the data or the one or more messages using the same decrypted value by the server computer system 124 after receiving them.
In embodiments where the decrypted value is a public key, the server computer system 124 may decrypt the encrypted data or one or more messages using a private key, where the one or more devices may be configured to encrypt the data or one or more messages by being decrypted by the server computer system 124 using the private key upon receipt of the data or one or more messages. In embodiments where the decryption value is a symmetric key, the server computer system may be configured to decrypt the encrypted data or one or more messages using the decryption value.
At step 244, the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 may transmit the encrypted data to the server computer system 124.
At step 246, the server computer system 124 may decrypt the encrypted data. In some embodiments, the results of decrypting, by the server computer system 124, the encrypted information received from one or more of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 may be used to verify the identity of one or more devices. In some embodiments, authentication of one or more of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, site device 129, and/or service point system 118 is successful if the server computer system 124 successfully decrypts the encrypted information received from the one or more devices. In embodiments where the device PUF is used as one factor of a two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication method, the device PUF is successfully authenticated if the server computer system 124 successfully decrypts the encrypted information. Thus, the server computer system 124 may use one or more algorithms to compare the decrypted data associated with the other factors to the initial data associated with the other factors stored in the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or memory 404 to determine whether the data matches or substantially matches.
For example, when using a five-factor authentication method consisting of biometric or site images, video or real-time video information, user credential information, device PUF, device identification information, and geolocation data, the device PUF is successfully authenticated if the server computer system 124 successfully decrypts the encrypted information. Thus, the server computer system 124 may use one or more algorithms to compare the decrypted data (or templates generated based on the decrypted data) associated with the other four factors (biometric or site images, video or real-time video information, user credential information, device identification information, and geographic location data) to the initial data (or templates) associated with the other four factors stored in the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or the memory 404 to determine whether the data matches or substantially matches. For example, the server computer system 124 may compare the face template, user credential information, device identification information, and geographic location data to the face template, user credential information, device identification information, and geographic location data stored in the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or the memory 404 to determine whether they match or substantially match.
In some embodiments, authentication using two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication methods is successful if all of the factors of each authentication method are successfully authenticated.
At step 248, the server computer system 124 may generate a biometric template (e.g., a facial template) for each of the user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, and/or advertising service provider 126 based on the received biometric information (e.g., facial image data). In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may also generate an image, video, and/or real-time video template (e.g., an image, video, and/or real-time video template of a site) for each site 128 based on the received image, video, and/or real-time video information (e.g., an image, video, and/or real-time video template of a site). In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can generate a biometric template (e.g., a facial template) by extracting one or more biometric (e.g., facial image) features from the received biometric information (e.g., facial image data) using one or more algorithms. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can generate the image, video, and/or real-time video template by extracting one or more site image, video, and/or real-time video features from the received image, video, and/or real-time video information.
At step 250, the server computer system 124 may integrate the received constant values (e.g., keys, or unique device identifications) of the one or more user devices 110, partner devices 112, distributor devices 114, verifier devices 116, advertising service provider devices 127, site devices 129, and/or point of service systems 118 with generated templates (e.g., facial templates, site images, videos, or real-time video templates) of the one or more sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 127 using one or more algorithms (e.g., a BioHashing algorithm) to create a template for comparison.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may use one or more algorithms to integrate two or more factors of a two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication method, where the integration is based on a combination of multiple factors of the two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication method. For example, when using a five-factor authentication method that includes biometric or site images, video or real-time video information, user credential information, device PUFs, device identification information, and geo-location data, the server computer system 124 can integrate constant values (e.g., keys, or unique device identifications), templates (e.g., face templates, site images, video or real-time video templates), user credential information, device identification information, and geo-location data using one or more algorithms, where the integration is based on a plurality of combinations.
At step 252, the server computer system 124 may retrieve the initial template created during registration or enrollment and stored in the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or memory 404, wherein the request identification received from each device may be used to retrieve the initial template.
At step 254, the server computer system 124 may use one or more algorithms to compare the template created during authentication with an initial template created during registration or entry and stored in the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or memory 404 to determine if the templates match or substantially match. In some implementations, authentication may be successful if the data change (e.g., hamming distance) between the template created during authentication and the initial template created and stored during enrollment is within a predefined threshold.
In embodiments that may not perform two or more factor integration (integration using one or more algorithms) of the two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication methods, the server computer system 124 may use one or more algorithms to compare the template for each factor created during authentication with the initial template for each factor created during enrollment and stored in the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or memory 404 to determine whether the templates match or substantially match. For example, when using a five-factor authentication method that includes biometric or site images, video or real-time video information, user credential information, device PUF, device identification information, and geographic location data, the server computer system 124 may use one or more algorithms to compare the received data (or templates generated based on the received data) associated with each of the five factors to the initial data (or templates) associated with each of the five factors stored in the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or memory 404 to determine whether the data matches or substantially matches. For example, the server computer system 124 may compare the face template, the user credential information, the constant value of the PUF (e.g., the key), the device identification information, and the geolocation data to the face template, the user credential information, the constant value of the PUF (e.g., the key), the device identification information, and the geolocation data stored in the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or the memory 404 to determine whether they match or substantially match. In embodiments where the server computer system 124 may store a constant value (e.g., a key) or a unique device identification one-way function (e.g., a cryptographic hash function or the like), the server computer system 124 may authenticate the one or more devices by checking whether the received one or more keys or the function of the unique device identification is equal to the stored one or more keys or the function of the unique device identification (e.g., f (received key) = f (stored key)).
In some embodiments, the authentication may be successful if the templates match or substantially match. In some implementations, authentication may be successful if the data change between the template created during authentication and the initial template created and stored during enrollment is within a predefined threshold. In some implementations, the authentication of each site device 129 and/or each service point system 118 may not succeed if the data for the verified geographic location of each site device 129 and/or each service point system 118 between the template created during authentication and the initial template created and stored during enrollment varies within a predetermined threshold.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 can verify the geolocation data of one or more of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, service point system 118, and site device 129, and, using one or more algorithms, combine the received real-time geolocation data of one or more of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, service point system 118, and site device 129 obtained by their associated GPS/AGPS with geolocation data obtained from a wireless or mobile operator, or wireless service provider, and/or the geographic location determined by the server computer system 124 to determine whether its current geographic location data obtained by the associated GPS/AGPS sensor matches or substantially matches geographic location data obtained from a wireless or mobile operator, or a wireless service provider, and/or the geographic location data determined by the server computer system 124, wherein the devices may be configured to communicate with the wireless or mobile operator or wireless service provider and with each other via a short-range wireless network, which may be one of a bluetooth wireless, bluetooth low energy, and/or near field communication network, wherein the devices are located within the coverage area of one or more networks having synchronized time-registered devices. In some embodiments, the geolocation data of the registered device may be successfully verified if the geolocation data determined by the server computer system 124 and/or obtained from the wireless or mobile operator, or wireless service provider matches or substantially matches the real-time geolocation data of the registered device obtained by its associated GPS/AGPS sensor, or if the distance between the three geolocation data is within a predetermined threshold. In some embodiments, the preset threshold may be adjusted by the server computer system 124 to limit access to the server computer system 124 by one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, sites 128, advertising service providers 126, and/or their associated devices to a particular geographic location, a particular region, a particular city, and/or a particular country.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may verify the real-time geolocation data obtained by the GPS/AGPS sensors of one or more of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertising service provider device 127, service point system 118, and site device 129 prior to registering or registering the real-time geolocation data, or prior to authenticating them with the server computer system 124. In some embodiments, if the real-time geographic location data obtained by the GPS/AGPS sensors of one or more devices is not successfully verified, then its authentication and registration may not be successful.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 can determine the geographic location of the one or more registered devices requesting the geographic location using one or more algorithms by determining the distance between the one or more registered devices requesting the geographic location and one or more static and/or dynamic registered devices having a synchronization time (e.g., user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, advertisement service provider device 127, point of service system 118, and site device 129) by determining the time required for each device having a synchronization time to receive the request from the one or more registered devices requesting the geographic location. Therein, geographic location data for one or more registered devices requesting a geographic location may be stored in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124, wherein the one or more registered devices requesting a geographic location are located within one or more registered device network coverage areas having synchronized times. Wherein the one or more registered devices having synchronized times and the one or more registered devices requesting geographic locations may be configured to communicate over a short-range wireless network, which may be one of a bluetooth wireless, bluetooth low energy, and/or near field communication network. Wherein the one or more registration devices having synchronized times and the one or more registration devices requesting geographic locations may be configured to communicate with a wireless or mobile operator or wireless service provider and the server computer system 124, and wherein geographic location data may be obtained and stored in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124 on a periodic, intermittent, or continuous basis.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may be configured to provide verification services, wherein services and/or processes of one or more partners 104 or one or more unregistered entities may be enabled by the server computer system 124 to request authentication and verification of the identity of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may enable services and/or processes of one or more partners 104 or one or more unregistered entities, requiring authentication of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126. In this case, the server computer system 124 may receive a request from one or more partners 104 and/or one or more unregistered entities to authenticate one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126; the server computer system 124 may authenticate one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 and provide the status or results of the authentication to services and/or processes, and may notify one or more partners 104 and/or one or more unregistered entities. In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may bind credentials (one-time dynamic passwords, public keys, private keys, passwords, RSA signatures, etc.) to successful authentication of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126, wherein the server computer system 124 may release the credentials to services or processes of one or more partners 104 or one or more unregistered entities following successful authentication of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may cause one or more partners 104 and/or one or more unregistered entities to determine authentication options, such as location-based verification, device physical unclonable function-based verification, user credential-based verification, device identification information-based verification, and/or biometric information-based verification of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126. In this case, the server computer system 124 may authenticate the user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, and/or advertising service provider 126 based on options selected by one or more partners 104 and/or one or more unregistered entities.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may cause one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126 to request changes or use of one or more of their associated devices, wherein the server computer system 124 may cause one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126 to submit requests from their associated verification devices to the server computer system 124 to change or use one or more devices after authenticating them, wherein the server computer system 124 may preclude verifying the new one or more devices during registration or enrollment of the new devices at the server computer system 124. In an embodiment, if verification devices of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 are lost, damaged, or unavailable to submit requests, server computer system 124 may disable or prevent the lost, damaged, or unavailable devices and enable one or more partners 104 to submit requests from partner devices 112 and/or partner service point systems 118 in their behavior, wherein server computer system 124 may authenticate one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 and exclude authentication of their associated devices prior to allowing one or more partners 104 to submit requests to server computer system 124, wherein authentication may occur after server computer system 124 accepts requests according to a one-factor, two-factor, three-factor, or four-factor authentication method, server computer system 124 may cause users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 to register for one or more new devices in communication with server computer system 124, wherein the server computer system 124 may register one or more new devices 124 during registration with the authentication of the server computer system 124.
In some embodiments, where "user credential information" is used as a factor in the authentication method, one or more site devices 128 and the service point system 118 may transmit data to the server computer system 124. In this case, the server computer system 124 may generate and transmit one-time credential information (e.g., username, password, personal Identification Number (PIN), key, etc.) to the one or more partners 104 to enable the one or more service point systems 118 to access the server computer system 124 after the server computer system receives a request from the one or more partners 104 to enable the one or more service point systems 118 to access the server computer system 124. Wherein the credential information may be sent to one or more partner devices 112, and wherein the credential information may be used only once. The server computer system 124 can also generate and transmit one-time credential information (e.g., username, password, personal Identification Number (PIN), key, etc.) to one or more verifiers 108 to enable one or more site devices 129 to access the server computer system 124 during registration, installation, and/or maintenance of the one or more site devices 129, or upon request by the one or more verifiers 108, wherein the credential information can be transmitted to the one or more verifier devices 116, and wherein the credential information can be used only once.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may cause one or more of the partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126 to create one or more employee accounts with limited privileges and administrator accounts with the same privileges as the master administrator account (the first account created during registration of the distributors 106, verifiers 108, and advertising services providers 126 with the server computer system 124). The server computer system 124 may cause the partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, and/or advertising service provider 126 to submit a request to stop one or more employee accounts and administrator accounts, where one or more administrator accounts (e.g., administrator account holders) may be required to agree to the request to stop one or more employee accounts and/or administrator accounts, where the server computer system 124 may authenticate one or more administrator account holders prior to stopping one or more employee accounts and/or administrator accounts.
Each distributor 106, partner 104, user 102, verifier 108, site 128, and/or advertising service provider 126 is then assigned a unique user identification. The unique user identification may be, for example, a number, a symbol, a letter, or any combination of letters and numbers assigned by the server computer system 124. The unique user identification of the distributor 106, partner 104, user 102, verifier 108, and/or ad server may be selected by the phone number of the distributor 106, partner 104, user 102, verifier 108, and/or ad server 126, distributor 106, partner 104, user 102, and/or verifier 108. In some cases, a combination of non-unique data may serve as a unique user identification. The term "unique user identification" may also be referred to herein as an "account identification".
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may be external to the system of the unregistered entity (e.g., product manufacturer, intermediary agency, university, company, organization, government entity, consumer reporting agency, environmental protection product claim project operator) and/or the point of service system, and may communicate with the system of the unregistered entity or the point of service system using appropriate communication networks and methods for communicating between physically separate computing systems. Thus, the unregistered entity's system or service Point system may be enabled by the server computer system 124 to exchange information with the server computer system 124 related to account identification and other information related to one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may enable one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 to verify via one or more external identity management systems and/or utilizing cryptographic technology systems including, but not limited to, zero-knowledge proof or zero-knowledge protocols (e.g., uPort, etc.) and/or referencing databases during or after registration with the server computer system 124. For example, one or more users 102 may register with the server computer system 124 and may choose which personal information they are to provide to the server computer system 124, and may choose to obtain authentication through one or more external identity management systems and/or using cryptographic systems including, but not limited to, zero-knowledge proof or zero-knowledge protocols (e.g., uPort, etc.).
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can create records for the sites 128, distributors 106, partners 104, users 102, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126 and their associated devices that can be associated with their respective identifying information (e.g., biometric information, site images, video and/or real-time video information, credential information, geo-location data, device PUFs, device identifying information, account identifications, block chain identifications, public keys). These records may be stored in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124, and one or more of the records may be listed under their respective account profiles.
In embodiments that may utilize blockchains, the server computer system 124 may enable one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 to verify via one or more external identity management systems and/or utilizing cryptographic technology systems and/or reference databases including, but not limited to, zero-knowledge proofs or zero-knowledge protocols (e.g., uPort, etc.). For example, the intelligent contract base may confirm the identity of the user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, and/or advertising service provider 126 through one or more external identity management systems and/or using cryptographic technology systems including, but not limited to, zero-knowledge proof or zero-knowledge protocols (e.g., uPort, etc.) and/or by referencing databases. The term "intelligent contractual library" as used herein may refer to a script that can verify the identity of a user 102, partner 104, distributor 106, verifier 108, and/or advertising service provider 126 on a blockchain through one or more external identity management systems and/or using cryptographic technology systems and/or reference databases including, but not limited to, zero-proof of knowledge or zero-knowledge protocols (e.g., uPort, etc.).
In another embodiment that may utilize blockchains, once users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertisement services providers 126 enter the required information during registration and complete the verification process, they register on the distributed ledger and may be associated with an intelligent contract repository. In another embodiment that may utilize blockchains, once a registration request submitted by one or more verifiers 108 to register one or more sites 128 is accepted by server computer system 124, the one or more sites 128 and their associated site devices 129 are registered on the distributed ledger and may be associated with an intelligent contractual library.
In other embodiments where blockchains may be utilized, after a blockchain identification, user identification, and/or key joins the network to access the distributed book, it may be distributed to each of the site 128, the user 102, the partner 104, the distributor 106, the verifier 108, and/or the advertising service provider 126. The distributed ledger may be stored on multiple site devices 129, service point systems 118, compute nodes 122, user devices 110, partner devices 112, distributor devices 114, validator devices 116, advertising service provider devices 127, and/or other processor-based devices. In some implementations, the nodes of the distributed ledger may include systems related to partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, users 102, and/or advertising service providers 126. In some embodiments, the distributed book may include one or more of a shared book, a distributed database, a hash chain database (cryptographic hash chain database), a blockchain database, and a blockchain-based database. In some implementations, the distributed ledger can include a hash chain (cryptographic hash chain) in which transactions occurring in the network relating to sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126, as well as other data or information, are collected into blocks, each block containing a hash (cryptographic hash) of a previous block in the chain, where the block chain can record any type of data as a form of transaction occurring in the network (e.g., transfer or exchange of information). Transactions and other information occurring in the network relating to sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or ad servers 126 may be propagated to and verified collectively by the nodes of the distributed ledger. In some embodiments, the distributed ledger may include digital records of information including, but not limited to, environmental activity information, environmental violation information, biometric information, site images, video and/or real-time video information, credential information, geolocation data, device PUFs, device identification information, account identification, block chain identification, public keys, and/or other identification data for a plurality of sites 128, users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 and their associated devices.
At step 256, the server computer system 124 may receive or collect information about environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) that the user 102 performed (e.g., purchased, used, or completed) before becoming a registered user. This information may be collected by communicating with the user device 110, which allows or enables the user to communicate with the server computer system 124 and provide the server computer system 124 with the desired information. This data may be collected by the server computer system 124 from the user during or after registering the user with the server computer system 124. The information gathered from the user may include, but is not limited to, personal information (e.g., name, address, passport number, taxpayer identification number, telephone number, email address, password, username, and/or the like), environmental activity information of the user, including, but not limited to, partner information of the registered partner 104 (e.g., partner's name and/or partner's account identification), and home energy, traffic, waste, food, and shopping information of the user. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may verify information provided by or collected from the user with registered partners and/or unregistered entities of the partner 104. In some implementations, the verification provided by the user 102 or the collection of information from the user 102 may be communicated through one or more service point systems 118 with registered partners of the partner 104, one or more devices 400 of registered partners, and/or one or more devices 400 of unregistered entities, where respective account identifications of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, and/or other identification data provided by the user or collected from the user (e.g., biometric information, credential information, geolocation data, device PUFs, device identification information, account identifications, public keys, unique user identifications, block chain identifications, names, addresses, and/or other identification data) may be used for communications exchanged therewith in the verification process. In some embodiments, the server computer system may receive information that one or more users 102 performed (e.g., purchased, used, or completed) environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) before becoming registered users by communicating with one or more service point systems 118 of registered partners of the partners 104, one or more devices 400 of registered partners, and/or one or more devices 400 of unregistered entities to collect information that one or more users 102 performed (e.g., purchased, used, or completed) environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) before becoming registered users, where the account identifications of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, respectively, and/or other identification data received from the users (e.g., biometric information, credential information, geolocation data, device identification information, account identification, public keys, unique user identifications, block chain identifications, names, addresses, and/or other identification data) may be used in communications exchanged therewith during the verification process, where the received information may be stored in a database of the server computer system.
The server computer system 124 may further calculate an estimated environmental impact of the user's environmental activity from the data collected from the user 102 using one or more algorithms. In some embodiments, if the environmental activity is not associated with an environmental product claim previously verified by the verifier of verifier 108, server computer system 124 can allow or cause one or more verifiers 108 to determine an estimated environmental impact for each user environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service) that the user performed (e.g., purchased, used, or completed) before becoming a registered user. In some embodiments, if the eco-product claim was previously verified by a verifier of verifier 108 and associated with a partner of partner 104, server computer system 124 can determine the environmental impact of each user environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service) that the user performed (e.g., purchased, used, or completed) before becoming a registered user from the verified eco-product claim for the same environmental activity.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may assign points, currencies, cryptocurrencies, and/or credit scores to the users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126, and may cause one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising services providers 126 to transfer ownership records of the points, currencies, cryptocurrencies, and/or credit scores associated with their accounts to one another. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can create points, currencies, cryptocurrencies, and/or credit records and/or ownership records related to the account and identification data (e.g., biometric information, credential information, geo-location data, device PUF, device identification information, account identification, public key, unique user identification, blockchain identification, name, address, and/or other identification data) of the plurality of users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126. In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may allow or enable the user 102 to deposit, and/or exchange points, currency, cryptocurrency, and/or credit scores (e.g., exchange points for any form of currency, such as legal currency, electronic currency, and/or cryptocurrency). In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may communicate with a third party system (e.g., currency, cryptocurrency exchange platform or system) to deposit, transfer, and/or exchange points, currency, cryptocurrency, and/or credit numbers.
In embodiments where a blockchain may be utilized, ownership records of credits, currencies, cryptocurrency, and/or credit numbers are transferred in a process similar to money transfers in blockchain-based cryptocurrency systems. In some embodiments where blockchains may be utilized, the distributed ledger may include a side chain of a cryptocurrency blockchain or a separate ledger.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may allow or cause one or more verifiers 108 to determine a unit of service (usage unit) for each service provided by a partner of the partner 104 based on its category and/or based on information mentioned in the service environmental protection product claim. For example, a carrier as a server computer system 124 partner 104 may provide the user 102 with the use of an electric vehicle (e.g., the vehicle may use renewable power at a charging station) as a transportation service; the carrier's point of service system 118 may collect data (e.g., information about distance and identification information of the user 102) and transmit the data to the server computer system 124; server computer system 124 can allow or cause one or more validators 108 to determine service units (usage units) for a transport service (e.g., usage service for one hour, and/or per mile); when the service units are executed (e.g., completed) by the user 102, the server computer system 124 may credit the user 102 account with the service units (usage units) for any services related to the verified environmental protection product claim and provided by the partners of the partner 104. In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may compare usage behavior of the users 102 using one or more algorithms based on the service units credited under the accounts of the users 102 and reward or punish the users 102 based on the number of service units credited under their accounts. For example, server computer system 124 may add or subtract cryptocurrency, currency, and/or credits to the user 102 account based on the usage behavior of the user 102.
The server computer system 124 may use the service units (usage units) to calculate the environmental credit score for the user 102. The server computer system 124 may use the service units (usage units) to determine the number of service units (e.g., maximum or minimum units) that may be credited to the user's account, credits, crypto currency, any other reward.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may suggest or recommend one or more environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) to the registered user 102 based on factors including, but not limited to, the environmental impact of the environmental activity (e.g., products and/or services) the user performed (e.g., purchased, used, or completed) before or after becoming a registered user. Recommended or suggested environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) may be intended to reduce the environmental impact of the user's environmental activities. The server computer system 124 may assign or credit the points and/or credit scores to the user's account after the user develops (e.g., purchases, uses, or completes) the recommended or suggested environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service). The server computer system 124 may use the points under the user 102 account and other factors to calculate the user's environmental credit score. The server computer system 124 can determine the points that should be assigned for each environmental activity performed by the user of the user 102 based on the environmental product claim score for the environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service).
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can determine and recommend or suggest environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) to the user 102 by deep learning the user's habits and/or behaviors (e.g., environmental habits), using one or more algorithms, machine learning, and/or trained neural networks. The server computer system 124 may determine using one or more algorithms, machine learning, and/or trained neural networks by deep learning the habits and/or behaviors of the user, using the user's decisions to develop environmental activities and the relationship between the user's interactions with the server computer system 124 (e.g., the type of environmental activity they develop, the time at which the environmental activity is developed, the geographic location of the environmental activity, and the cost of developing the environmental activity), information about the user's activities collected from external sources (e.g., a data management platform), and other factors.
By way of non-limiting example, the server computer system 124 may suggest or recommend to the user of the user 102 the use of renewable power, the use of a particular electric vehicle, the use of any other environmentally friendly products and/or services provided by the registered partner 104 or unregistered entity. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can calculate the environmental credit score for the user 102 based on the environmental impact of the user's environmental activity prior to becoming a registered user 102, suggested or recommended by the server computer system 124, and the environmental activity the user 102 has performed (e.g., participated in, purchased, used, or completed) after becoming a registered user. The server computer system 124 may store the environmental activity information completed by the user of the user 102 and the information collected from the user during or after registration in the user records of the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or memory 404 before becoming a registered user and may list such information under the respective account profiles of the user 102, the partner 104, and/or the distributor 106.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may grant one or more points, currency, cryptocurrency, and/or credit points to the user 102 based on the environmental impact of the environmental activity prior to becoming a registered user 102, suggested or recommended by the server computer system 124, and the environmental activity the user 102 performs (e.g., participates in, purchases, uses, or completes) after becoming a registered user, where the points, currency, cryptocurrency, and/or credit points may be paid out by the user 102 and may be exchanged and/or used by the user 102. In some implementations, the user's 120 calculated points and/or credit score may be provided as currency (e.g., cryptocurrency) and/or may be exchanged for any form of currency (e.g., legal currency, electronic currency, and/or cryptocurrency).
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may cause the user 102 to purchase one or more products and/or services offered by partners of the partner 104 and/or unregistered entities using the awarded points or credit scores of one or more users 102. In some embodiments, the calculated points or credit scores for the user 102 and their associated transactions may be stored in a database of the server computer system 124 and may be listed under the respective account profiles of the user 102 and/or the partner 104. In some embodiments, the calculated points or credit scores for the users 102 may be stored in a remote database and/or a distributed database.
In embodiments where a chain of blocks may be utilized, the distributed book may include a hash chain (cryptographic hash chain) in which environmental activity information, calculated points and/or credit scores of users 102 and their associated transactions and/or other information are collected into chunks, each chunk containing a hash (cryptographic hash) of a previous chunk in the chain. In embodiments that may utilize blockchains, environmental activity information, calculated points and/or credit scores of users 102 and their associated transactions and/or other information may be propagated to and verified collectively by nodes of a distributed ledger.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can allow or enable the user 102 to use the calculated points and/or credit scores associated with the user account to obtain or purchase one or more products and/or services offered by the partner 104 and/or the unregistered entity. For example, the user 102 may be authenticated by the service point system 118, the partner device 112, and/or systems associated with the partner 104. The service point system 118, the partner device 112, and/or systems associated with the partner 104 may authenticate and verify the user 102 by communicating with the server computer system 124 and/or check points, credit scores, monetary amounts, cryptocurrency, points, and/or credit scores associated with the user 102. In some embodiments, the unique user identification, public key, account identification, or blockchain identification of the user 102 may be in the form of an identification card, barcode, radio frequency identification, two-dimensional code, or electronic tag, and/or any other technique or device readable by the point of service system to (a) complete a transaction related to an environmental activity (e.g., purchase, use, or completion) conducted by the user 102, (b) register the user 102 with the server computer system 124, and (c) purchase a product or service provided by the partner 104.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may store the calculated points, currency, cryptocurrency, or credit scores of the user 102 and their related transactions in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124 and list the information of the points, currency, cryptocurrency, or credit scores and their related transactions under the respective account profiles of the user 102 and/or partner 104. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can store the user's calculated points or credit scores in a remote database and/or a distributed database.
In embodiments where a blockchain may be utilized, the server computer system 124 may transfer ownership records of points, currency, cryptocurrency, and/or credit numbers in a process similar to money transfers in a blockchain-based cryptocurrency system. For example, when the user 102 purchases a product and/or service provided by the partner 104, the server computer system 124 may transfer ownership records of points, money, cryptocurrency, and/or credit scores from the user's 102 account to the partner's 104 account as proof of purchase. In some embodiments where blockchains may be utilized, the distributed ledger may include side chains of cryptocurrency blockchains or independent ledgers.
At step 258, the registered partners 104 and/or registered distributors 106 may transmit data to the server computer system 124. The transfer of data by the enrolling partner to the server computer system 124 may be accomplished by communication of one or more partner devices 112 of the partner and/or one or more service point systems 118 with the server computer system 124, wherein respective account identifications and/or other identifications (e.g., biometric information, credential information, geolocation data, device PUFs, device identification information, account identifications, public keys, unique user identifications, block chain identifications, names, addresses, and/or other identification data) of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106 may be used to identify and/or authenticate the partner in communications exchanged therewith. The data transfer of the enrolled distributor 106 to the server computer system 124 may be accomplished through communication of one or more devices of the distributor device 114 with the server computer system 124, wherein respective account identifiers and/or other identifying data (e.g., biometric information, credential information, geo-location data, device PUFs, device identification information, account identifications, public keys, unique user identifications, blockchain identifications, names, addresses, and/or other identifying data) of the one or more partners 104, the distributor 106 may be used to identify and/or authenticate the distributor in the communications exchanged therewith.
In some implementations, the data transmitted by one or more registered partners 104 to the server computer system 124 may include data related to one or more environmental violations of one or more users 102, partners 104, and/or distributors 106, as well as other information and activities reported by the partners 104. In some implementations, the data transmitted by one or more of the registration partners 104 to the server computer system 124 can include data related to one or more environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) provided by one or more of the registration partners 104 to one or more users 102. In some implementations, the data transmitted by one or more registered distributors 106 to the server computer system 124 can include data related to environmental activities that the one or more distributors distribute to one or more partners 104 environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services), and that are used by the one or more distributors 106 to distribute environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) to the one or more partners 104.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may provide one option for one or more registered partners 104 and/or one or more registered distributors 106, such as through a website and/or mobile application hosted by or associated with the server computer system 124, to select from a plurality of categories of one or more environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services), and to list and fill out online information regarding the environmental activities they provide, distribute, and/or use and/or environmental violation behaviors reported by the partners 104.
In some implementations, one or more of the registered partners 104 may transmit data to the server computer system 124 regarding environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) that the partners 104 provide to the user 102. The data transmitted by each partner 104 for each environmental activity may include, but is not limited to, partner's identification data (e.g., biometric information, credential information, geolocation data, device PUFs, device identification information, account identifications, public keys, unique user identifications, blockchain identifications, names, addresses, and/or other identification data), as well as environmental activity information about the transmission, including, but not limited to, the geographic location of the transmission environmental activity, environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service) information that the partner 104 wants to provide to the user 102, and/or environmental protection product claims.
In some implementations, one or more registered partners 104 may transmit data to the server computer system 124 regarding local and/or international environmental violations reported by the partners 104, including information for one or more users 102, partners 104, and/or distributors 106.

In some implementations, the ecotope product claim for a product or service provided by a partner of the partner 104 can be in a machine-readable format. In some embodiments, each partner 104 may provide the server computer system 124 with a registration number for the environmentalist product claim, and/or information for the environmentalist product claim project operator and/or other information. In some embodiments, the environmental protection product claim, may be a third category of environmental protection product claim based on ISO14025 and issued (a) by a particular project operator, or (b) by a particular project operator in a particular geographic area, such as a particular state, country, continent, or region, or (c) based on unified product category rules, including but not limited to european product and organization environment footprint category rules commission (PEFCR, OEFCR).
In embodiments where a blockchain may be utilized, the distributed book may include a hash chain in which environmental activity information of users, partners and distributors, and their related transaction and/or other information is collected into blocks, each block containing a hash of a previous block in the chain. In embodiments where blockchains may be utilized, environmental activity information and its associated transactions and/or other information may be propagated to and verified collectively by the nodes of the distributed book.
At step 260, the server computer system 124 may receive data from one or more registered distributors 106 and/or registered partners 104. The data received from one or more registered partners 104 may include data related to one or more environmental violations of one or more users 102, partners 104, and/or distributors 106, as well as other information and activities reported by the partners 104.
In some implementations, the data received from the one or more registration partners 104 may include data related to one or more environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) provided by the one or more registration partners 104 to the one or more users 102. The received data includes data related to environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) provided by the partners 104 to the users 102. The data received from each partner 104 for each environmental activity may include, but is not limited to, partner identification data (e.g., biometric information, credential information, geolocation data, device PUFs, device identification information, account identification, public keys, unique user identification, blockchain identification, names, addresses, and/or other identification data) and information about the transmission environmental activity, including but not limited to the geographic location of the transmission environmental activity, information of the environmental activity (e.g., products and/or services) that the partner 104 wants to provide to the user 102, and/or environmental product claims. The server computer system 124 may assign an identification number (e.g., a number, a symbol, a letter, or any combination of letters and numbers assigned by the server computer system 124) to each environmental activity and store the data in the storage component 402 and/or the memory 404 of the server computer system 124.

The server computer system 124 may list the data in the registered distributor and/or registered partner records according to the category of each environmental activity. The records of the distributor 106 and the partners 104 may be listed under the respective account profiles of the partners 104 and the distributor 106. In some embodiments, these records may be stored in a remote database and/or a distributed database.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may enable a partner 104 that wants to provide, resell, and/or distribute one or more environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) owned or produced by other partners 104 (the original owner/producer of the environmental activity) to the user 102 to search for the environmental activity of the partner (the original owner/producer of the environmental activity) using identification data (e.g., an identification number of the partner environmental activity, an environmental product claim registration number or identification number, a unique user identification of the partner, a public key of the partner, and/or other identification data) associated with the environmental activity and the partner 104 (the original owner/producer of the environmental activity), for example, through a website and/or mobile application hosted by or associated with the server computer system 124. The server computer system 124 may match the identification data associated with the environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service) with the identification data stored in the server computer system 124 database to identify the environmental activity and display the environmental activity to the partner 104 who desires to provide, resell and/or distribute one or more environmental activities (e.g., product and/or service) to the user 102. The server computer system 124 may also cause the partners 124 to certify and/or ask them to provide, resell and/or distribute the same environmental activity (e.g., products and/or services) to the user 102. The server computer system 124 may also allow or cause the partner 104 (the original owner/producer of the environmental activity) to approve or deny the request to allow or cause the partner 104 to provide, resell, and/or distribute the environmental activity to the user 102. The server computer system 124 may list the environmental activity in the environmental activity record of the partner 104 that requested the environmental activity to be provided, resold, and/or distributed to the user 102.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may cause a partner 104 who wants to provide, resell and/or distribute one or more environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) belonging to other partners 104 (original owners/producers of environmental activities) to the user 102 to select from among a plurality of categories of one or more environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) listed in the environmental activity record of the partner 104 (original owner/producer of environmental activity) and to document and/or ask that they want to provide or distribute the same environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) to the user 102.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can cause the partner 104 (the original owner/producer of the environmental activity) to provide information to the server computer system 124 regarding a list of approved partners 104 that can provide, resell, or distribute environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) owned or produced by the partner 104 (the original owner/producer of the environmental activity). The information may include, but is not limited to, identification data (e.g., a partner's unique user identification, blockchain identification, account identification, and/or a partner's public key).
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may assign one or more registered verifiers 108 to verify the eco-product claim for the partner's 104 partner's product or service based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the geographic locations of the registered verifiers and partners, the number of verification activities that each verifier 108 verified, or that are randomly assigned by the server computer system 124 in relation to the partner's 104 partner's environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services). In some implementations, each verifier 108 can be a separate verifier, a group of verifiers, or an organization (e.g., certification authority) registered with the server computer system 124 to perform verification activities (e.g., verifying environmental product claims, determining environmental impact of environmental activities). In some implementations, each verifier 108 may have to pass a test to measure the verifier's knowledge of one or more topics before or after registering with the server computer system 124 to conduct verification activities (e.g., verifying environmental protection product claims, determining environmental impact of environmental activities).
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can test to measure the knowledge of one or more subjects from a group of individual verifiers or an organization (e.g., certification authority) before or after registering as a verifier 108 with the server computer system 124 to conduct verification activities (e.g., verifying environmental protection product claims, determining environmental impact of environmental activities).
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 test can perform a test over the network 120 (e.g., the internet) for measuring knowledge of the verifier 108 about one or more subjects by communicating with the server computer system 124. In some implementations, the verifier device 116 may be configured to communicate with the server computer system 124 and may be configured to enable the verifier 108 to access the server computer system 124 to participate in the test. In some implementations, verifier device 116 may be configured to enable one or more verifiers 108 to test using video or field invigilation. In some embodiments where video surveillance may be used, it may be recorded by the server computer system 124 and stored in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124, wherein the server computer system 124 may enable and designate one or more validators 108 from among the registered validators 108, objectively assessing the test performance of one or more validators 108 after one or more validators 108 participate in the test. In some embodiments, where field invigilation may be used, server computer system 124 designates one or more verifiers 108 from among the registered verifiers 108, which may be selected to monitor each verifier 108 in real time as the verifier 108 participates in the test. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can schedule tests to measure the knowledge of one or more subjects by the verifier 108. In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may schedule a test for one or more verifiers who want to participate in the test. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can determine the test performance of each verifier 108 by deep learning to determine one or more algorithms, machine learning, and/or trained neural networks.
In embodiments that may utilize blockchains, the server computer system 124 may enable each registration verifier 108 to verify via one or more external identity management systems and/or systems that utilize encryption techniques including, but not limited to, zero-knowledge proof or zero-knowledge protocols (e.g., uPort, etc.) and/or via a reference database. For example, the intelligent contract repository may validate the identity of the verifier through one or more external identity management systems and/or reference databases utilizing encryption techniques including, but not limited to, zero-knowledge proof or zero-knowledge protocols (e.g., uPort, etc.).
In embodiments where a blockchain may be utilized, the distributed book may include a hash chain (cryptographic hash chain) where activity information and/or other information for each validator 108 is collected into chunks, each chunk containing a hash (cryptographic hash) of a previous chunk in the chain. In embodiments where blockchains may be utilized, the activity information and/or other information of each validator 108 may be propagated to and collectively validated by the nodes of the distributed ledger.
In some implementations, the verifier device 116 can be configured to communicate with the server computer system 124 to authenticate the verifier 108, wherein the server computer system 124 can verify the identification data of the verifier 108 while the verifier 108 participates in the test. In some implementations, the verifier device 116 can be configured to communicate with the server computer system 124 to authenticate the verifier 108. Authentication may be performed according to a single-factor, two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication method. In some embodiments, the verification process may include calling each verifier 108 by telephone, preferably via a voice line, and/or sending a text message with an indication of identity verification to the verifier, by the server computer system 124.
The environmental protection product claim for the product and/or service provided by the partner 104 may be a third type of environmental protection product claim based on ISO 14025.

In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 can cause one or more of the registration verifiers 108 to set forth criteria or rules (e.g., data collection policies or rules, validation rules) related to the creation and/or validation of an environmental protection product claim, wherein a final decision whether to accept or reject the proposed criteria or rules can be made based on a majority vote of the one or more registration verifiers, wherein the server computer system 124 can invite the one or more verifiers 108 to resume validation activities until at least 51% of the verifiers 108 vote to approve a decision, before the server computer system 124 accepts. In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may use one or more algorithms in the process of reaching an agreement. For example, one or more algorithms may be used to calculate and determine the majority vote.
In some embodiments, verification of the environmental protection product claim by one or more registered verifiers 108 can include, but is not limited to, taking a picture, scanning a document, collecting data (e.g., data related to field operations, input and output from a particular site, measuring field material consumption, emissions, energy consumption and waste, etc.), verifying identity, measuring distance, determining geographic location, collecting samples, analyzing samples, determining chemical composition of collected samples, measuring temperature, energy measurement (e.g., electrical measurement), and/or using one or more input components 414 of each verifier device 116 (e.g., sensors for sensing information such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, actuators, global Positioning System (GPS) components, assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) components, temperature measurement devices, velocity measurement devices, etc.).
In some embodiments, once one or more partners 104 may register with the server computer system 124 and provide them with an eco-product claim, or submit a request to create a new eco-product claim for one or more products and/or services they want to provide to the user 102, the server computer system 124 may designate and enable one or more verifiers 108 to verify the eco-product claim provided by one or more partners 104, or create a new eco-product claim for the products and/or services of one or more partners 104.
In some embodiments, server computer system 124 may enable one or more registration verifiers 108 to review information related to the verification activities performed by each registration verifier 108 (e.g., verifying environmental protection product claims, determining environmental impact of environmental activities) in order to agree on the validity of the information provided by each registration verifier 108 and decide or vote whether to accept or reject each piece of information provided by verifier 108. The server computer system 124 can determine whether to accept or reject a final decision for each piece of information relating to each registered verifier 108 conducting or conducting a verification activity based on the majority vote, wherein the server computer system 124 can invite one or more verifiers 108 to conduct the verification activity again until at least 51% of the verifiers 108 vote for approval of a decision to be accepted by the server computer system 124. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can use one or more algorithms to determine the majority vote.
In some embodiments, server computer system 124 may enable one or more verifiers to review information relating to the verification activities performed by each registration verifier 108 and decide or vote to decide whether to accept or reject each piece of information within a particular time limit, wherein credits, currencies, cryptocurrencies, and/or credit points may be credited to the account of registration verifier 108 for each piece of information that it reviews.
In some embodiments, server computer system 124 may enable one or more users 102 to conduct each environmental activity related to a product and/or service after verification of an environmentally-friendly product claim for the product and/or service by one or more verifiers 108 is complete.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may cause one or more registration verifiers 108 to collect data using one or more sensors or devices of one or more verifier devices 116 and transmit the information to the server computer system 124, where the data may be used to verify the environmentally friendly product claim. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can communicate with partners of the partner 104 and/or external systems to collect information or data (e.g., identity verification information, energy measurements, sample analysis, determining chemical composition of a sample) related to verification activities performed by the verifier of the verifier 108 (e.g., verifying environmental protection product claims, determining environmental impact of environmental activities).
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may cause a registered partner of the partner 104 to submit a request to create an eco-product claim for one or more products and/or services, wherein the server computer system 124 may cause the partner to transfer a desired service fee to the server computer system 124 using money, crypto money, points, and/or credit points available in the partner's account. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can designate one or more verifiers 108 to create an eco-product claim for a partner's product and/or service of the partner 104, wherein the server computer system 124 can transfer currency, cryptocurrency, points, and/or credit scores to the one or more verifiers 108 to create the eco-product claim.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may cause one or more of the registration verifiers 108 to create an eco-product claim for a product or service according to ISO standards. For example, creating an environmentally friendly product declaration for a product or service may be accomplished by conducting a life cycle assessment study based on product category rules according to ISO14040 and ISO14044, and/or any other criteria.
The server computer system 124 can cause one or more verifiers 108 to collect data using verifier device 116 that is related to the inventory analysis steps of the life cycle assessment conducted in accordance with the ISO14040 and ISO14044 standards, or any other standard.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may cause an external system to transmit data (e.g., lifecycle manifest data) related to a lifecycle assessment of an environmental product claim for a product or service to the server computer system 124, and the server computer system 124 may store the received data in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124. In embodiments where the partners of the partner 104 have one or more site devices 129 installed at the partner site, one or more verifiers 108 may be enabled by the server computer system to access the site activity data records of the one or more site devices of the partner 104 and to verify or create an eco product claim for a product or service provided by the partner 104 using data (e.g., lifecycle manifest data) related to a lifecycle assessment of the eco product claim for the product or service provided by the partner 104 partner.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may compare the ecotope product claims of the products and/or services of one or more partners 104 using one or more algorithms to determine the ecotope product claim with the lowest environmental impact, wherein the one or more verifiers 108 may follow criteria or rules (e.g., the ecotope product claims are based on the same product category rules, analyzed according to the same lifecycle impact assessment methods, modeled using the same data and/or system boundaries, functionally equivalent, and/or based on the same functional units) when creating and/or verifying the ecotope product claim for the products and/or services to allow comparability between the ecotope product claims for the products and/or services of one or more partners 104.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may anonymously process the identification data of one or more verifiers 108 and any information that allows one or more verifiers 108 to be identified and forward the information about the environmental product claim verified by one or more verifiers 108 to one or more verifiers 108 and allow the new one or more verifiers to review or verify the verified information and decide to accept or reject each piece of information and comment on and score (e.g., in the range of 1-10) the validity of the information verified by the other one or more verifiers 108.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can assign one or more verifiers 108 to review or re-verify the information verified by one or more verifiers 108 and have them decide to accept or reject each piece of information, review, and comment on and score (e.g., in the range of 1-10) the validity of the verified information until the verifier 108 assigned by the server computer system 124 votes at least 51% approved, approving the decision regarding the validity of the information verified by one or more verifiers 108 is accepted by the server computer system 124. Server computer system 124 can enable one or more verifiers 108 to determine whether the specific information in the environmental product claim needs to be accurate or within a certain accuracy range.
In some embodiments, one or more verifier devices 116 can be configured to transmit data including at least one verification activity record to the server computer system 124. The verification activity record may include data related to one or more verification activities performed by one or more registered verifiers 108 (e.g., verifying and/or creating an environmental product claim, determining an environmental impact of an environmental activity, and/or an environmental impact of an environmental violation). The data transmitted by each verifier device 116 for each verification activity record may include, but is not limited to, identification data (e.g., biometric information, credential information, geolocation data, device PUFs, device identification information, account identification, public key, unique user identification, blockchain identification, name, address, and/or other identification data) of one or more verifiers, partners, and/or distributors, transmitted verification activity information (e.g., geolocation where the verification activity was transmitted), and information to verify and/or create environmental product claims, as well as information related to determining environmental impact and environmental unlawful behavior of environmental activities. The creation and verification information for the eco-product claim can include, but is not limited to, data collected by the verifier 108 and provided by the verifier 108 relating to verification or creation of the eco-product claim, and/or lifecycle manifest data. In some embodiments, the information regarding the creation and verification of an environmentally friendly product claim can include, but is not limited to, data related to a lifecycle assessment of the product or service (e.g., lifecycle manifest data). In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can cause one or more external systems to transmit data related to the product or service lifecycle assessment (e.g., lifecycle manifest data) to the server computer system 124.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can assign one or more verifiers 108 to install one or more site devices 129 at one or more partner sites 128, where the server computer system 124 can cause the one or more verifiers to determine the installation location and direction of the site devices 129 at the one or more sites 128 (locations) of one or more partners 104. In some embodiments, the biometric data acquired by one or more imaging devices of one or more site devices 129 may include, but is not limited to, images, video, and/or real-time video of one or more sites 128.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may deactivate one or more site devices 129 if the one or more site devices 129 are not located at a partner's location (e.g., an address of the partner) stored in the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or memory 404, or are not within a predetermined distance from a partner's location (e.g., an address of the partner) stored in the server computer system 124 storage component 402 and/or memory 404.
In embodiments where one or more verifiers 108 may utilize the site activity data records to verify and/or create an environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service) environmental protection product claim provided by a partner of partner 104, server computer system 124 may mark the environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service) as production or logo, recommend the environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service) to user 102, and/or add more points, credit points, cryptocurrency, and/or currency to one or more user accounts that conduct (e.g., participate in, purchase, use, or complete) the environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service).
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may also cause one or more verifiers to submit a request to the server computer system 124 to deactivate one or more site devices 129 and/or change the location and orientation of one or more site devices 129 (e.g., install the same site device at a new location, change the orientation of the site device) wherein the imaging devices of the input component 414 of the server computer system 124 may acquire new data (e.g., images, videos, and/or real-time videos), wherein the new images, videos, and/or real-time videos acquired by the one or more imaging devices of the one or more site devices 129 during and after the change of orientation and/or installation of the site device 129 may be stored in the storage component 402 and/or memory 404 of the server computer system 124 for use by one or more algorithms to authenticate the one or more sites 128.
In some embodiments, the field device 129 may be configured to collect site activity data continuously, periodically, and/or upon request by one or more verifiers 108 and transmit the site activity data to the server computer system 124 in real-time.
In some embodiments, the operation of one or more site devices 129 and their associated equipment and/or sensors may be governed by one or more sets of instructions (e.g., program code, libraries, software, machine code, firmware). One or more sets of instructions (e.g., program code, libraries, software, machine code, firmware) that govern the station equipment 129 and the station equipment may be installed over the network 120 and/or updated to add functionality or for any other reason. For example, one or more sets of instructions (e.g., program code, libraries, software, machine code, firmware) may govern the operation of a sensor or device that obtains data, where the data may be lifecycle manifest data (e.g., field operation data, field material consumption data, field emission data, field energy consumption data, and field waste data), and/or any other data.
One or more sets of instructions (e.g., program code, libraries, software, machine code, firmware) may also govern the operation of radio frequency identification (rfid) readers, card readers, barcode scanners, accelerometers, gyroscopes, actuators, global Positioning System (GPS) components, assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) components, fingerprint readers, texture readers, face recognition devices, hand geometry devices, iris recognition, retina and odor recognition devices, voice recognition biometric data devices, imaging devices (e.g., infrared imaging devices, any other imaging device), sensors used to acquire life cycle inventory data (e.g., field operational data, field material consumption data, field emissions data, field energy consumption data, and field waste data), temperature measurement devices, emissions sensors, energy measurement devices, speed measurement devices (e.g., radar, lidar), other radar sensors, chemical sensors, proximity sensors, infrared sensors, pressure sensors, light sensors, ultrasonic sensors, smoke, gas and alcohol sensors, touch sensors, color sensors, humidity sensors, tilt sensors, flow and level sensors, and/or other sensors of site equipment 120.
In this case, a blockchain may be utilized to install one or more sets of instructions (e.g., program code, libraries, software, machine code, firmware) onto one or more site devices 129, where each block of the blockchain may include one or more installation records, where each installation record may include, but is not limited to, at least a unique site device identification, a blockchain identification of a partner 104 partner, and a software identification (including site device software versions), where the server computer system 124 may authenticate one or more sites 128, partners of the partner 104 (e.g., employees of the partner), and/or one or more verifiers 108 prior to installing the one or more installation records onto the one or more site devices 129 using a single-factor, two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication method. In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may authenticate the one or more sites 128, partners of the partner 104 (e.g., employees of the partner), and/or the one or more verifiers 108 prior to installing the one or more installation records onto the one or more site devices 129, wherein if the authentication is successful, the server computer system may allow the one or more records to be installed onto the one or more site devices.
In some embodiments, the site device 129 may be configured to communicate with partner systems or devices to collect various data and transmit the data to the server computer system 124.
Applying one or more hash algorithms to the tile reference value and the data reference value may result in a hash value such that the reference value needs to be regenerated if the corresponding data is modified. This may make the block chain immutable, as it is necessary to propagate any modifications through other blocks in the block chain. Thus, any malicious alteration of one or more sets of instructions governing the operation of one or more site devices 129 and their associated sensors and devices prevents the use of blockchain copies installed on one or more site devices 129. Which in turn causes one or more site devices 129 to be deactivated.
In some embodiments, where blockchains may be utilized, the server computer system 124 may periodically verify the version of the software (one or more sets of instructions) installed on one or more site devices 129 to determine if a software update(s) needs to be installed on each site device 129, where the software identification may be used by the server computer system 124 to determine the version of the software (one or more sets of instructions) installed on one or more site devices 129. The server computer system 124 may also store a list of software updates associated with each site device 129 in a database of the server computer system 124. In the event that a software (one or more sets of instructions) update needs to be installed onto each site device 129, the server computer system 124 can verify one or more sites 128, partners of the partner 104 (e.g., employees of the partner), and/or verifiers of the verifier 108 using a single-factor, two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication method, wherein the geo-location data can be verified, prior to installing one or more installation records onto one or more site devices 129.
In some implementations, the operation of one or more of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, point of service system 118, and/or advertising service provider device 127, and their associated devices and/or sensors, can be governed by one or more sets of instructions (e.g., program code, libraries, software, machine code, firmware). One or more sets of instructions (e.g., program code, libraries, software, machine code, firmware) may be installed over network 120 and/or updated to add functionality or updated for any other reason. In this case, one or more sets of instructions (e.g., program code, libraries, software, machine code, firmware) may be installed onto one or more user devices 110, partner devices 112, distributor devices 114, verifier devices 116, service point systems 118, and/or advertising service provider devices 127 and their associated devices and/or sensors using a blockchain, wherein each block of the blockchain may include one or more installation records, wherein each installation record may include, but is not limited to, one or more device identifications, one or more blockchain identifications, and software identifications of users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 and their associated devices, wherein server computer system 124 may authenticate users 102, partners 104, distributors 106, verifiers 108, and/or advertising service providers 126 and their associated devices using a one-factor, two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication method prior to installing the one or more installation records.
In some implementations, the geolocation data of the site device 129, the service point system 118, the user device 110, the partner device 112, the distributor device 114, the verifier device 116, the service point system 118, and/or the advertising service provider device 127 may be verified prior to installing one or more installation records onto the devices.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 may authenticate one or more of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, verifier device 116, service point system 118, and/or advertising service provider device 127 using a one-factor, two-factor, three-factor, four-factor, and/or five-factor authentication method prior to installing one or more installation records onto one or more of the user device 110, partner device 112, distributor device 114, service point system 118, and/or advertising service provider device 127 and their associated devices and/or sensors.
In some implementations where blockchains may be utilized, the distributed book may include side chains for installing one or more sets of instructions (e.g., program code, libraries, software, machine code, firmware), where blockchains may be permitted blockchains (access control).
At step 262, the server computer system 124 may verify each environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service) and environmental violation provided or reported by one or more partners 104, each environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service) distributed to the one or more partners 104 by the one or more distributors 106, and each environmental activity used by the one or more distributors 106 to distribute environmental activities (e.g., product and/or service) to the one or more partners 104, and mark each verified environmental activity and environmental violation. The server computer system 124 may communicate with one or more external systems of a program operator to verify the eco-product claim of the product and/or service transmitted or submitted to the server computer system 124 by one or more partners 104 and distributors 106. The server computer system 124 may communicate with one or more registered partners 104 or one or more unregistered entities to verify one or more environmental violations of one or more partners 104, distributors 106, and/or users 102. Respective account identifications and/or other identification data of one or more users 102, partners 104, distributors 106 may be used in communications exchanged therewith to verify environmentally friendly product claims and/or environmental violations.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can designate one or more verifiers 108 to determine their estimated environmental impact based on the environmental impact of each environmental violation. The server computer system 124 can transfer the currency, cryptocurrency, credits, and/or credit scores to one or more verifiers 108 to determine an estimated environmental impact of each environmental violation.
At step 264, the server computer system 124 may calculate a score for each verified environmental activity, such as a product and/or service provided by each partner 104, using one or more algorithms based on information contained in the environmentally friendly product claims for the verified products and services stored in the server computer system 124 database, wherein criteria or rules (e.g., the environmentally friendly product claims may have the same system boundaries, be created using the same lifecycle impact method, and product category rules) may be used to create and/or verify the environmentally friendly product claims for the products and/or services to provide comparability between the environmentally friendly product claims; using one or more algorithms, computing a score for each verified environmental activity, such as one or more distributors 106 for distributing product and/or unregistered entities of the environmental activity to one or more partners 104, based on information contained in the product and/or service verified environmental protection product claim and information contained in the product and/or service verified environmental protection product claim used by other distributors to distribute the environmental activity, wherein specific criteria or rules (e.g., environmental protection product claims may have the same system boundaries, be created using the same lifecycle impact method, and product category rules) may be used to create and/or verify environmental protection product claims for products and/or services to make the environmental protection product claims comparable; and using one or more algorithms to calculate a score for each verified environmental violation reported by one or more of the partners 104 based on the environmental impact of each environmental violation.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can penalize (e.g., by not sending a validation request) the verifier 108 by providing a decision (e.g., a misleading validation decision) that is not accepted by at least 51% of the verifiers 108. The server computer system 124 may also reward the verifier 108 for accepting more tasks (e.g., by sending a request for verification, and/or sending money, cryptocurrency, credits, and/or credit).
In some implementations, partner environment activities (e.g., products and/or services) with high scores may be preferentially promoted to the users 102. In some implementations, the one or more partners 104 providing the score and amount of verified environmental activity (e.g., products and/or services), the score and amount of environmental offensiveness for the one or more partners 104, and the reaction of the one or more partners 104 to the server computer system 124 proposal or suggestion can be used to calculate the environmental credit score for the one or more partners 104. The scores and amounts of verified environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) used by one or more distributors 106, the scores and amounts of one or more distributors 106 environmental violations, and the reactions of one or more distributors 106 to server computer system 124 offers or suggestions may be used to calculate the environmental credit score for one or more distributors 106. The environmental credit scores for one or more partners 104 and distributors 106 may be calculated for particular geographic areas and/or particular types of environmental activities and/or particular product or service categories or classifications.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can add more points, credits, and/or cryptocurrency to the environmental credits of one or more users 102 who develop (e.g., participate in, purchase, use, or complete) environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) with high environmental protection product claims and/or indicia, and reward one or more partners 104 and distributors 106 with high environmental credits with indicia, logos, symbols, and/or any other benefit. The environmental credit scores of the partners 104 and distributors 106 may be used for decisions including, but not limited to, government decisions on corporations and on any other entity. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can reward (e.g., participate in, purchase, use, or complete) the user 102 with points, credits, and/or money to launch (e.g., participate in, purchase, use, or complete) an environmentally friendly activity (e.g., a product and/or service) with a high-score environmentally friendly product.
At step 266, one or more users 102 that have previously registered with the server computer system 124 may register with one or more partners 104. The user 102 may be authenticated by one or more service point systems 118 of one or more partners 104 to enable (e.g., participate in, purchase, use, or complete) environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services). The user 102 may enter a unique user identification on a keyboard or other input device of the service point system 118, or log into a website or use a mobile application. Additionally, the user 102 may confirm the environmental activity performed by the user 102 using an identification card, a bar code, a radio frequency identification, a two-dimensional code, or an electronic tag, and/or any other technique or means that may be read by the point of service system 118, where the point of service system 118 may communicate with the server computer system 124 to authenticate one or more users 102.
In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 may cause one or more partners 104 to register one or more users 102 using the partner's point of service system 118 and/or partner devices 112 and create one or more user accounts for the users 102, wherein the one or more partners 104 may provide the one or more users 102 with a barcode, radio frequency identification, two-dimensional code or electronic tag, and/or any other technique or device that may be read by the point of service system 118 and/or partner devices 112.
The point of service system 118 may transmit information to the server computer system 124 that may include, but is not limited to, information that one or more users 102 performed (e.g., purchased, used, or completed) environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services), identification data (e.g., biometric information, credential information, geolocation data, device PUFs, device identification information, account identification, public keys, unique user identification, block chain identification, names, addresses, and/or other identification data) of one or more distributors 106 and/or one or more users 102 and one or more partners 104, identification numbers for each environmental activity, number of environmental activities, and/or geographic location of the point of service system 118.
At step 268, the server computer system 124 may receive environmental activity data, including data records, from one or more of the service point systems 118 of one or more of the partners 104 and process the information. The server computer system 124 may match the environmental activity records of the one or more distributors 106, users 102, and partners 104 with identification data (e.g., unique user identification, blockchain identification, biometric data, public key) of the one or more distributors 106, users 102, and partners 104 to identify the environmental activity record of at least one of the plurality of distributors 106, users 102, and partners 104 that is associated with the identification data, and to credit the respective environmental activity records of the one or more distributors 106, users 102, and partners 104 with information about the environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service) performed (e.g., purchased, used, or completed) by the one or more users 102. The distributor 106, users 102, and partners 104 may monitor and track environmental activity stored in the distributor 106, users 102, and partners 104 environmental activity records.
At step 270, the server computer system 124 may calculate the environmental credit score for one or more users 102 using one or more algorithms based on the logged environmental activity data for one or more users 102. In some implementations, the environmental credit score for one or more users 102 can be calculated for a particular geographic area and/or a particular product and/or service category, and/or the like. In some implementations, the calculation of one or more user 102 environment credit scores may be accomplished by considering factors including, but not limited to: (a) The number, category, and environmental impact of one or more user 102 environmental activities intended to protect the environment; (b) A historical length of one or more user 102 environmental activities; (c) An environmental product claim score for each environmental activity performed by one or more users 102; (d) The reaction of one or more users 102 to the server computer system 124 based on the activities suggested by the one or more users 102 as environmental activities before and after becoming registered users; and (e) the type and amount of one or more user 102 environmental violations.
In some embodiments, the calculation of the credit score for each user 102 environment by the server computer system 124 may be accomplished by taking into account factors including, but not limited to: (a) The number and score of the eco-product claim that the user 102 makes (e.g., purchases, uses, or completes) the environmental activity (e.g., product and/or service), wherein the score of the eco-product claim determines the number of points the user will obtain; (b) Calculate points related to environmental activities (e.g., products and/or services) that the server computer system 124 suggests or recommends to each user 102 and that are performed (e.g., purchased, used, or completed) by each user 102; and (c) a total score of each user 102 environmental violation.
The calculation of the environmental credit score for each user 102 may be performed after and/or periodically after each environmental activity posted in the environmental activity record for one or more users 102 and/or upon request by one or more users 102 and/or one or more partners 104.
At step 272, the server computer system 124 may analyze the environmental credit scores of the users 102, partners 104, and/or distributors 106 to determine one or more users 102, partners 104, and/or distributors 106 that have high environmental credit scores. The analysis may be performed in different domains, including but not limited to categories of environmental activity, geographic regions, and any other domain. The server computer system 124 may exchange information with one or more users 102, partners 104, and/or distributors 106 regarding one or more users 102 environmental credit scores, available revenue, new rules for environmental credit score calculations, and the like.
In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can identify one or more sites, partners, and verifiers that are related to the site activity data collected by the one or more site devices; extracting real-time data indicative of a relationship with an eco-product claim of at least one of the plurality of partners for each site device; generating a sensor list display for each site device, wherein real-time data relating to the eco-product claim is listed with which each sensor is associated, wherein the generated display further can include site identification information and partner identification information for each sensor of each site device, wherein the generated display further includes historical data over a period of time, wherein the generated display includes graphical data; defining one or more alert levels based on the collected real-time data associated with at least one environmental protection product claim providing environmental activity among the plurality of partners, wherein the server computer system 124 can enable one or more verifiers to define one or more alert levels based on the collected real-time data associated with the environmental product claim; and determining whether the data collected by the one or more sensors of the one or more site devices includes real-time data up to any defined alarm level, wherein at least one defined alarm level is reached, and further comprising generating an alarm notification and notifying one or more partners and one or more verifiers. In some embodiments, the server computer system 124 can designate one or more validators to recheck the environmental product claim upon reaching at least one defined alert level. In some implementations, the server computer system 124 can disable (e.g., purchase, use, or complete) one or more users 102 from the environmental protection activities provided by the partners 104 when at least one defined alert level is met.
At step 274, the server computer system 124 may publish environmental credit score data for the user 102, partner 104, and/or distributor 106 under the environmental activity record of the user 102, partner 104, and distributor 106, respectively, and may notify the user 102, partner 104, and/or distributor 106 and may mark the user 102, partner 104, and/or distributor 106 with a flag, mark, or symbol having a high environmental credit score. The server computer system 124 may receive responses to the system information and recommendations from the user 102, the partner 104, and/or the distributor 106.
