- FIG. 4 is a simplified diagram showing a computing device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.
- Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to determining a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by a vehicle. More particularly, certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for determining a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by a vehicle of a driver based at least in part upon telematics data of the driver. Merely by way of example, the present disclosure has been applied to determining a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by a vehicle during a first time duration based at least in part upon telematic data of the driver collected during a second time duration. But it would be recognized that the present disclosure has much broader range of applicability.
- FIG. 1 is a simplified diagram showing a method 100 for determining a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by a vehicle of a driver according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure.
- the method 104 is performed by a computing device (e.g., a server 306 ).
- a computing device e.g., a server 306
- some of the method 100 is performed by any computing device (e.g., a mobile device 302 ).
- the method 100 includes process 102 for receiving vehicle information including a number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle during a first time duration, process 104 for collecting telematics data for one or more trips made by the driver with the vehicle during a second time duration, and process 106 for determining the historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle during the first time duration based at least in part upon the number of miles during the first time duration and the telematics data during the second time duration.
- the vehicle information may include a duration of which the driver owned the vehicle, one or more odometer readings, and/or one or more gas receipts.
- the odometer reading indicates a number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle when the odometer reading was collected.
- the computing device may obtain or receive the odometer reading from an application installed on a mobile device of the driver.
- the application may be the same application that collects the telematics data, as described in the process 104 .
- the application may transmit the initial odometer reading when the application is first installed and/or may periodically collect and transmit the odometer readings.
- the computing device may communicate directly with the vehicle to obtain or receive one or more odometer readings. Additionally or alternatively, the odometer reading may be received manually from the driver. As described further below, the number of miles is used to predict an amount of carbon emissions produced for the number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle.
- the computing device may use the duration of which the driver owned the vehicle to predict the number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle prior to collecting the telematics data.
- the gas receipts may be collected (e.g., from the driver's online bank statements) to determine how much gas the vehicle consumed during a certain time period that the driver owned the vehicle.
- An amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle may be predicted based at least in part upon the gas consumption.
- the telematics data includes information related to one or more driving behaviors of the driver.
- the one or more driving behaviors represent a manner in which the driver has operated a vehicle.
- the driving behaviors indicate the driver's driving habits and/or driving patterns.
- the telematics data is used to determine a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle during a time period when the telematics data was not collected according to some embodiments.
- the telematics data is received, obtained, or otherwise collected from one or more sensors associated with one or more vehicles of the driver.
- the one or more sensors include any type and number of accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, location sensors (e.g., GPS sensors), tilt sensors, yaw rate sensors, speedometers, steering angle sensors, brake sensors, proximity detectors, and/or any other suitable sensors that measure vehicle state and/or operation.
- the one or more sensors are part of or located in the one or more vehicles.
- the one or more sensors are part of a computing device (e.g., a mobile device of the driver) that are communicatively coupled to the one or more vehicles while the driver is operating one of the one or more vehicles.
- the one or more sensors are part of a computing device (e.g., a mobile device of the driver) that is located inside a vehicle while the driver is operating the vehicle.
- the telematics data is collected continuously or at predetermined time intervals.
- the telematics data is collected based on a triggering event. For example, the telematics data is collected when each sensor has acquired a threshold amount of sensor measurements.
- the telematics data may be received, obtained, or otherwise collected from a server (e.g., a server 306 ) associated with an insurance provider.
- the first time duration ends before the second time duration starts according to some embodiments. However, according to certain embodiments, a portion of the first time duration precedes the second time duration.
- a driver bought a vehicle five years ago and has been driving the vehicle since then. A year ago, the driver chose to install an application on his mobile device that collects telematics data of his vehicle to receive an insurance discount. Based on the driver's telematics data, an amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle for the past year may be determined. Additionally, a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle for the first four years that the driver has been driving the vehicle may be estimated based on the driver's telematics data of the driver for the last year. In other words, based on the telematics data of the driver collected during a certain period of time is used to predict or estimate an amount of carbon emissions produced during another period of time that the driver was driving the vehicle.
- FIG. 2 is a simplified method for determining a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by a vehicle of a driver according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure.
- This diagram is merely an example, which should not unduly limit the scope of the claims.
- One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize many variations, alternatives, and modifications.
- the method 200 is performed by a computing device (e.g., a server 306 ).
- a computing device e.g., a server 306
- any computing device e.g., a mobile device 302 .

- the vehicle information may include a duration of which the driver owned the vehicle, one or more odometer readings, and/or one or more gas receipts.
- the odometer reading indicates a number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle when the odometer reading was collected.
- the computing device may obtain or receive the odometer reading from an application installed on a mobile device of the driver.
- the application may be the same application that collects the telematics data, as described in the process 104 .
- the application may transmit the initial odometer reading when the application is first installed and/or may periodically collect and transmit the odometer readings.
- the computing device may communicate directly with the vehicle to obtain or receive one or more odometer readings. Additionally or alternatively, the odometer reading may be received manually from the driver. As described further below, the number of miles is used to predict an amount of carbon emissions produced for the number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle.
- the computing device may use the duration of which the driver owned the vehicle to predict the number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle prior to collecting the telematics data.
- the gas receipts may be collected (e.g., from the driver's online bank statements) to determine how much gas the vehicle consumed during a certain time period that the driver owned the vehicle.
- An amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle may be predicted based at least in part upon the gas consumption.
- the telematics data includes information related to one or more driving behaviors of the driver.
- the one or more driving behaviors represent a manner in which the driver has operated a vehicle.
- the driving behaviors indicate the driver's driving habits and/or driving patterns.
- the telematics data is used to determine a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle during a time period when the telematics data was not collected according to some embodiments.
- the telematics data is received, obtained, or otherwise collected from one or more sensors associated with one or more vehicles of the driver.
- the one or more sensors include any type and number of accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, location sensors (e.g., GPS sensors), tilt sensors, yaw rate sensors, speedometers, steering angle sensors, brake sensors, proximity detectors, and/or any other suitable sensors that measure vehicle state and/or operation.
- the one or more sensors are part of or located in the one or more vehicles.
- the one or more sensors are part of a computing device (e.g., a mobile device of the driver) that are communicatively coupled to the one or more vehicles while the driver is operating one of the one or more vehicles.
- the one or more sensors are part of a computing device (e.g., a mobile device of the driver) that is located inside a vehicle while the driver is operating the vehicle.
- the telematics data is collected continuously or at predetermined time intervals.
- the telematics data is collected based on a triggering event. For example, the telematics data is collected when each sensor has acquired a threshold amount of sensor measurements.
- the telematics data may be received, obtained, or otherwise collected from a server (e.g., a server 306 ) associated with an insurance provider.
- the first time duration ends before the second time duration starts according to some embodiments. However, according to certain embodiments, a portion of the first time duration precedes the second time duration.
- a driver bought a vehicle five years ago and has been driving the vehicle since then. A year ago, the driver chose to install an application on his mobile device that collects telematics data of his vehicle to receive an insurance discount. Based on the driver's telematics data, an amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle for the past year may be determined. Additionally, a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle for the first four years that the driver has been driving the vehicle may be estimated based on the driver's telematics data of the driver for the last year. In other words, based on the telematics data of the driver collected during a certain period of time is used to predict or estimate an amount of carbon emissions produced during another period of time that the driver was driving the vehicle.
- the additional information includes one or more changes in environment of the driver from the first time duration to the second time duration according to some embodiments.
- the environment of the driver changes if the driver moves his residence from urban area to rural area or rural area to urban area. Additionally or alternatively, the environment of the driver changes if the driver changes where he works (e.g., different commute routes for work). In other words, the changes in the environment of the driver include any change in the environment that may impact the one or more driving behaviors or driving patterns of the driver.
- the additional information includes other data collected from one or more other drivers whose demographic information (e.g., age, race, ethnicity, gender, marital status, income, education, and/or employment) is similar to the user. Additionally or alternatively, the additional information includes other data collected from one or more other drivers whose one or more driving behaviors are similar to the user.
- demographic information e.g., age, race, ethnicity, gender, marital status, income, education, and/or employment
- the historical amount of carbon emissions determined at the process 206 is adjusted based at least in part upon the additional information.
- the additional information of the driver may affect the one or more driving behaviors of the driver. Referring back to the example described above, where the driver has been driving the vehicle for five years but the telematics data has been collected for the past year. If the additional information further indicates that the driver moved from a rural environment to an urban environment a year ago, the computing device may adjust the historical amount of carbon emissions. For example, the drivers generally brake more when driving in the urban environment and, therefore, produces more carbon emissions. Such adjustment may be performed using machine learning using other data collected from one or more other drivers whose demographic information is similar to the user and/or from one or more other drivers whose one or more driving behaviors are similar to the user.
- the computing device may transmit a notification to the driver on the driver's device based upon the adjusted historical amount of carbon emissions.
- the notification may include the adjusted historical amount of carbon emissions.
- the notification may further include one or more recommendations for the driver.
- the one or more recommendations may include planting a number of eternal trees to compensate for the historical amount of carbon emissions.
- the planted trees consumes carbon during its lifetime; however, carbon stored by the planted trees are released back into the atmosphere when the trees die.
- an eternal tree is planted in which a tree is planted today. As the tree grows, it removes carbon from the air. When the tree eventually dies, another tree is planted. This process repeats indefinitely to ensure that there will always be a tree that exists to capture the carbon according to certain embodiments.
- the driver may become 100% carbon neutral by planting one or more eternal trees.
- the computing device is configured to estimate a number of eternal trees to be planted to compensate for the historical amount of carbon emissions. To do so, the computing device may continuously capture, store, and recapture carbon emissions generated by the driver in the form of an eternal tree. According to some embodiments, the computing device estimates at least a number of first trees to be planted at a first time and the number of second trees to be planted at a second time to compensate for the historical amount of carbon emissions. Each of the first trees corresponds to a lifespan, and the first time precedes the second time by a time duration, which is shorter than or equal to the lifespan.
- the recommendations may include recommending another vehicle to the driver. For example, in response to determining that the adjusted historical amount of carbon emissions exceeds the predetermined amount, a recommended vehicle is determined based at least in part upon the telematics data of the driver.
- the computing device may determine an amount of carbon emissions per mile based at least in part upon the determined historical amount of carbon emissions and the number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle during the first time duration. The computing device may further determine whether the amount of carbon emissions per mile exceeds a predetermined rate. If so, the computing device may determine a recommended vehicle that produces less amount of carbon emissions per mile based at least in part upon the telematics data of the driver

FIG. 1 is a simplified diagram showing amethod 100 for determining a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by a vehicle of a driver according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure. This diagram is merely an example, which should not unduly limit the scope of the claims. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize many variations, alternatives, and modifications. In the illustrative embodiment, the method 104) is performed by a computing device (e.g., a server 306). However, it should be appreciated that, in some embodiments, some of themethod 100 is performed by any computing device (e.g., a mobile device 302). - The
method 100 includesprocess 102 for receiving vehicle information including a number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle during a first time duration,process 104 for collecting telematics data for one or more trips made by the driver with the vehicle during a second time duration, andprocess 106 for determining the historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle during the first time duration based at least in part upon the number of miles during the first time duration and the telematics data during the second time duration. - Although the above has been shown using a selected group of processes for the method, there can be many alternatives, modifications, and variations. For example, some of the processes may be expanded and/or combined. Other processes may be inserted to those noted above. Depending upon the embodiment, the sequence of processes may be interchanged with others replaced. For example, although the
method 100 is described as performed by the computing device above, some or all processes of the method are performed by any computing device or a processor directed by instructions stored in memory. As an example, some or all processes of the method are performed according to instructions stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium. - Specifically, at the
process 102, the vehicle information may include a duration of which the driver owned the vehicle, one or more odometer readings, and/or one or more gas receipts. The odometer reading indicates a number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle when the odometer reading was collected. In some embodiments, the computing device may obtain or receive the odometer reading from an application installed on a mobile device of the driver. For example, the application may be the same application that collects the telematics data, as described in theprocess 104. In such example, the application may transmit the initial odometer reading when the application is first installed and/or may periodically collect and transmit the odometer readings. In other embodiments, the computing device may communicate directly with the vehicle to obtain or receive one or more odometer readings. Additionally or alternatively, the odometer reading may be received manually from the driver. As described further below, the number of miles is used to predict an amount of carbon emissions produced for the number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle. - According to some embodiments, if the one or more odometer readings are not available, the computing device may use the duration of which the driver owned the vehicle to predict the number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle prior to collecting the telematics data.
- According to certain embodiments, the gas receipts may be collected (e.g., from the driver's online bank statements) to determine how much gas the vehicle consumed during a certain time period that the driver owned the vehicle. An amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle may be predicted based at least in part upon the gas consumption.
- At the
process 104, the telematics data includes information related to one or more driving behaviors of the driver. As an example, the one or more driving behaviors represent a manner in which the driver has operated a vehicle. For example, the driving behaviors indicate the driver's driving habits and/or driving patterns. As discussed below, the telematics data is used to determine a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle during a time period when the telematics data was not collected according to some embodiments. - According to some embodiments, the telematics data is received, obtained, or otherwise collected from one or more sensors associated with one or more vehicles of the driver. For example, the one or more sensors include any type and number of accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, location sensors (e.g., GPS sensors), tilt sensors, yaw rate sensors, speedometers, steering angle sensors, brake sensors, proximity detectors, and/or any other suitable sensors that measure vehicle state and/or operation. In certain embodiments, the one or more sensors are part of or located in the one or more vehicles. In some embodiments, the one or more sensors are part of a computing device (e.g., a mobile device of the driver) that are communicatively coupled to the one or more vehicles while the driver is operating one of the one or more vehicles. In other embodiments, the one or more sensors are part of a computing device (e.g., a mobile device of the driver) that is located inside a vehicle while the driver is operating the vehicle. According to certain embodiments, the telematics data is collected continuously or at predetermined time intervals. According to some embodiments, the telematics data is collected based on a triggering event. For example, the telematics data is collected when each sensor has acquired a threshold amount of sensor measurements. According to other embodiments, the telematics data may be received, obtained, or otherwise collected from a server (e.g., a server 306) associated with an insurance provider.
- At the
process 106, the first time duration ends before the second time duration starts according to some embodiments. However, according to certain embodiments, a portion of the first time duration precedes the second time duration. - For example, a driver bought a vehicle five years ago and has been driving the vehicle since then. A year ago, the driver chose to install an application on his mobile device that collects telematics data of his vehicle to receive an insurance discount. Based on the driver's telematics data, an amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle for the past year may be determined. Additionally, a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle for the first four years that the driver has been driving the vehicle may be estimated based on the driver's telematics data of the driver for the last year. In other words, based on the telematics data of the driver collected during a certain period of time is used to predict or estimate an amount of carbon emissions produced during another period of time that the driver was driving the vehicle.

FIG. 2 is a simplified method for determining a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by a vehicle of a driver according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure. This diagram is merely an example, which should not unduly limit the scope of the claims. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize many variations, alternatives, and modifications. In the illustrative embodiment, themethod 200 is performed by a computing device (e.g., a server 306). However, it should be appreciated that, in some embodiments, some of themethod 200 is performed by any computing device (e.g., a mobile device 302). - The
method 200 includesprocess 202 forprocess 202 for receiving vehicle information including a number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle during a first time duration,process 204 for collecting telematics data for one or more trips made by the driver with the vehicle during a second time duration,process 206 for determining the historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle during the first time duration based at least in part upon the number of miles during the first time duration and the telematics data during the second time duration,process 208 for receiving additional information,process 210 for adjusting the historical amount of carbon emissions based at least in part upon the additional information, andprocess 212 for transmitting a notification to the driver. - Although the above has been shown using a selected group of processes for the method, there can be many alternatives, modifications, and variations. For example, some of the processes may be expanded and/or combined. Other processes may be inserted to those noted above. Depending upon the embodiment, the sequence of processes may be interchanged with others replaced. For example, although the

The odometer reading indicates a number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle when the odometer reading was collected.

Additionally or alternatively, the odometer reading may be received manually from the driver. As described further below, the number of miles is used to predict an amount of carbon emissions produced for the number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle. - According to some embodiments, if the one or more odometer readings are not available, the computing device may use the duration of which the driver owned the vehicle to predict the number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle prior to collecting the telematics data.
- According to certain embodiments, the gas receipts may be collected (e.g., from the driver's online bank statements) to determine how much gas the vehicle consumed during a certain time period that the driver owned the vehicle. An amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle may be predicted based at least in part upon the gas consumption.
- At the
process 204, the telematics data includes information related to one or more driving behaviors of the driver. As an example, the one or more driving behaviors represent a manner in which the driver has operated a vehicle. For example, the driving behaviors indicate the driver's driving habits and/or driving patterns. As discussed below, the telematics data is used to determine a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle during a time period when the telematics data was not collected according to some embodiments. - According to some embodiments, the telematics data is received, obtained, or otherwise collected from one or more sensors associated with one or more vehicles of the driver. For example, the one or more sensors include any type and number of accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, location sensors (e.g., GPS sensors), tilt sensors, yaw rate sensors, speedometers, steering angle sensors, brake sensors, proximity detectors, and/or any other suitable sensors that measure vehicle state and/or operation. In certain embodiments, the one or more sensors are part of or located in the one or more vehicles. In some embodiments, the one or more sensors are part of a computing device (e.g., a mobile device of the driver) that are communicatively coupled to the one or more vehicles while the driver is operating one of the one or more vehicles. In other embodiments, the one or more sensors are part of a computing device (e.g., a mobile device of the driver) that is located inside a vehicle while the driver is operating the vehicle. According to certain embodiments, the telematics data is collected continuously or at predetermined time intervals. According to some embodiments, the telematics data is collected based on a triggering event. For example, the telematics data is collected when each sensor has acquired a threshold amount of sensor measurements. According to other embodiments, the telematics data may be received, obtained, or otherwise collected from a server (e.g., a server 306) associated with an insurance provider.
- At the
process 206, the first time duration ends before the second time duration starts according to some embodiments. However, according to certain embodiments, a portion of the first time duration precedes the second time duration. - For example, a driver bought a vehicle five years ago and has been driving the vehicle since then. A year ago, the driver chose to install an application on his mobile device that collects telematics data of his vehicle to receive an insurance discount. Based on the driver's telematics data, an amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle for the past year may be determined. Additionally, a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle for the first four years that the driver has been driving the vehicle may be estimated based on the driver's telematics data of the driver for the last year. In other words, based on the telematics data of the driver collected during a certain period of time is used to predict or estimate an amount of carbon emissions produced during another period of time that the driver was driving the vehicle.
- At the
process 208, the additional information includes one or more changes in environment of the driver from the first time duration to the second time duration according to some embodiments. According to some embodiments, the environment of the driver changes if the driver moves his residence from urban area to rural area or rural area to urban area. Additionally or alternatively, the environment of the driver changes if the driver changes where he works (e.g., different commute routes for work). In other words, the changes in the environment of the driver include any change in the environment that may impact the one or more driving behaviors or driving patterns of the driver. - Additionally or alternatively, the additional information includes other data collected from one or more other drivers whose demographic information (e.g., age, race, ethnicity, gender, marital status, income, education, and/or employment) is similar to the user. Additionally or alternatively, the additional information includes other data collected from one or more other drivers whose one or more driving behaviors are similar to the user.
- At the
process 210, the historical amount of carbon emissions determined at theprocess 206 is adjusted based at least in part upon the additional information. As described above, the additional information of the driver may affect the one or more driving behaviors of the driver. Referring back to the example described above, where the driver has been driving the vehicle for five years but the telematics data has been collected for the past year. If the additional information further indicates that the driver moved from a rural environment to an urban environment a year ago, the computing device may adjust the historical amount of carbon emissions. For example, the drivers generally brake more when driving in the urban environment and, therefore, produces more carbon emissions. Such adjustment may be performed using machine learning using other data collected from one or more other drivers whose demographic information is similar to the user and/or from one or more other drivers whose one or more driving behaviors are similar to the user. - At the
process 212, the computing device may transmit a notification to the driver on the driver's device based upon the adjusted historical amount of carbon emissions. For example, the notification may include the adjusted historical amount of carbon emissions. The notification may further include one or more recommendations for the driver. As an example, the one or more recommendations may include planting a number of eternal trees to compensate for the historical amount of carbon emissions. - Generally, the planted trees consumes carbon during its lifetime; however, carbon stored by the planted trees are released back into the atmosphere when the trees die. For example, to compensate for this, an eternal tree is planted in which a tree is planted today. As the tree grows, it removes carbon from the air. When the tree eventually dies, another tree is planted. This process repeats indefinitely to ensure that there will always be a tree that exists to capture the carbon according to certain embodiments. According to some embodiments, the driver may become 100% carbon neutral by planting one or more eternal trees.
- As an example, the computing device is configured to estimate a number of eternal trees to be planted to compensate for the historical amount of carbon emissions. To do so, the computing device may continuously capture, store, and recapture carbon emissions generated by the driver in the form of an eternal tree. According to some embodiments, the computing device estimates at least a number of first trees to be planted at a first time and the number of second trees to be planted at a second time to compensate for the historical amount of carbon emissions. Each of the first trees corresponds to a lifespan, and the first time precedes the second time by a time duration, which is shorter than or equal to the lifespan.
- Additionally or alternatively, the recommendations may include recommending another vehicle to the driver. For example, in response to determining that the adjusted historical amount of carbon emissions exceeds the predetermined amount, a recommended vehicle is determined based at least in part upon the telematics data of the driver. In other example, the computing device may determine an amount of carbon emissions per mile based at least in part upon the determined historical amount of carbon emissions and the number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle during the first time duration. The computing device may further determine whether the amount of carbon emissions per mile exceeds a predetermined rate. If so, the computing device may determine a recommended vehicle that produces less amount of carbon emissions per mile based at least in part upon the telematics data of the driver

According to some embodiments, the driving data are collected continuously, at predetermined time intervals, and/or based on a triggering event (e.g., when each sensor has acquired a threshold amount of sensor measurements). - In some embodiments, the
mobile device 302 is operated by the driver. For example, the driver installs an application associated with an insurer on themobile device 302 and allows the application to communicate with the one ormore sensors 324 to collect data (e.g., the driving data). According to some embodiments, the application collects the data continuously, at predetermined time intervals, and/or based on a triggering event (e.g., when each sensor has acquired a threshold amount of sensor measurements). In certain embodiments, the data is used to determine an amount of carbon emissions generated by the driver's vehicle in themethod 100 and/or themethod 200. As an example, the data represents the driver's driving behaviors. According to some embodiments, there may be other drivers that drives the driver's vehicle.

memory 318 before being transmitted to theserver 306 using thecommunications unit 322 via the network 304 (e.g., via a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), the Internet). In some embodiments, the collected data are transmitted directly to theserver 306 via thenetwork 304. In certain embodiments, the collected data are transmitted to theserver 306 via a third party. For example, a data monitoring system stores any and all data collected by the one ormore sensors 324 and transmits those data to theserver 306 via thenetwork 304 or a different network. - According to certain embodiments, the
server 306 includes a processor 330 (e.g., a microprocessor, a microcontroller), amemory 332, a communications unit 334 (e.g., a network transceiver), and a data storage 336 (e.g., one or more databases).

As an example, inFIG. 4 , thedata storage 336 is shown to be part of theserver 306. In some embodiments, thedata storage 336 is a separate entity coupled to theserver 306 via a network such as thenetwork 304. In certain embodiments, theserver 306 includes various software applications stored in thememory 332 and executable by theprocessor 330. For example, these software applications include specific programs, routines, or scripts for performing functions associated with themethod 100 and/or themethod 200. As an example, the software applications include general-purpose software applications for data processing, network communication, database management, web server operation, and/or other functions typically performed by a server. - According to various embodiments, the
server 306 receives, via thenetwork 304, the driving data collected by the one ormore sensors 324 from the application using thecommunications unit 334 and stores the data in thedata storage 336. For example, theserver 306 then processes the data to perform one or more processes of themethod 100 and/or one or more processes of themethod 200. - According to certain embodiments, the notification in the
method 200 is transmitted to themobile device 302, via thenetwork 304, to be provided (e.g., displayed) to the driver via thedisplay unit 322. - In some embodiments, one or more processes of the
method 100 and/or one or more processes of themethod 200 are performed by themobile device 302. For example, theprocessor 316 of themobile device 302 analyzes the driving data collected by the one ormore sensors 324 to perform one or more processes of themethod 100 and/or one or more processes of themethod 200. -

AU2020100151A4 (en) * | 2020-01-29 | 2020-02-27 | Bithell, Wendy Ms | A local carbon calculator. Which calculates the carbon footprint of tourists, businesses or households. The calculator calculates a carbon footprint for the user. It then suggests how many trees they need to offset their carbon footprint. It then gives them a combination of options to offset their carbon footprint by connecting them with local tree planting events (so they can plant trees themselves), allows them to pay a tree planting organisation to plant trees for them and or allows them to pay local landholders to conserve the trees on their property to offset the users carbon footprint. |
