  • FIG. 3 illustrates a flowchart 300 of the method for distributing revenue among a plurality of users based on at least one of a quantified emotional data and a qualified emotional data of the corresponding users, in accordance with an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
  • the method includes the step 302 of collecting biorhythm data of the user through a wearable user device configured to be worn on the user’s body, near the body, or placed in the user’s body (implantable).
  • the wearable user device includes various sensors to detect one or more parameters pertaining to the emotions of the user.
  • the wearable user device may include a flexible body that can be secured around the user’s body to collect biorhythm data.
  • the method includes the step 304 of receiving the biorhythm data of the users through a computing unit communicatively connected with the wearable user device over a communication network.
  • the method includes the step 306 of analyzing the received biorhythm data and computing an emotional score of each user through an algorithmic module.
  • the method includes the step 308 of monitoring the emotional score of each user through a tracking module.
  • the method includes step 310 of sending a referral to a plurality of potential users to perform a plurality of actions pertaining to a platform and a product through a referral module.
  • the referral module facilitates the users to track the status of the sent referrals and one or more received referrals.
  • the referral is exclusive for each potential users.
  • the referral module facilitates the users associated with the referrals to establish communication with each other.
  • the plurality of actions includes access to the platform and purchase of the product.
  • the potential users perform the actions by clicking on the referral.
  • the method includes the step 312 of computing individual total subscore for each user using the quantified emotional data and the qualified emotional data for an interval of time through a first computation module.
  • the method includes the step 314 of computing at least one subtotal score based on calculations performed on the referrals of each user and a plurality of related referrals corresponding to each user and one or more subtotals based on a plurality of other parameters through an nth computation module.
  • the nth computation module computes the subtotal scores for each user based on data of the individual user on the platform.
  • the method identifies all the referred users connected to each user and computes a score for each based on set parameters.
  • this may include a plurality of first-generation referrals, a plurality of second-generation referrals, a plurality of third-generation referrals, and a plurality of nth generation referrals.
  • first-generation referrals may be multiplied by a smaller weight than first-generation referrals.
  • the nth computation module also computes other types of subtotal scores based on the user's data or actions.
  • the method includes the step 316 of combining the individual subtotal score computed by the first computation module and one or more subtotal scores computed by the nth computation module to obtain a single score for each user through a final computation module.
  • Various orders of operations may be used to perform this calculation.
  • the method includes the step 318 of generating revenue when the potential users perform the plurality of actions pertaining to the platform and the product through a revenue distribution module.
  • the method includes the step 320 of distributing a predefined amount of money to each user based on a plurality of parameters through the revenue distribution module.
  • the parameters comprising at least one of the computed emotional data scores of the users, and a calculation involving of other user's scores present in the user's network on the platform.
  • the present system and method provide a revenue-sharing and reward-based platform by which the users of the present wearable user device can generate revenue for themselves based on a plurality of predefined parameters. Further, the revenue-sharing and reward-based platform reward the users financially for optimum utilization of the system.
