Abstract
Methods and systems described in this disclosure are directed at delivery of educational concepts for increasing the financial literacy of youths. In some embodiments, a mobile application program is disclosed that facilitates management of tasks assigned to youths, setting up a rewards program for participants that complete tasks successfully on time, integrating different types of data from various devices to determine whether an assigned task is successfully completed. In some embodiments, the disclosed platform can integrate with electronic payment systems managed by external third parties for rewarding youths on successfully completing the task.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a first computing device associated with an individual to:
- monitor operating data associated with an electronic device in a plurality of networked household devices, wherein the electronic device is one networked household device in the plurality of networked household devices;
- receive, via a user interface of the first computing device, a selection of a task to be assigned to a user, the task associated with the electronic device in the plurality of networked household devices, wherein the selection indicates the user to be assigned to the task;
- receive, via the user interface, a deadline for completion of the task;
- communicate, via a first electronic notification to the electronic device in the plurality of networked household devices, settings for the task based on the operating data associated with the electronic device in the plurality of networked household devices;
- communicate, via a second electronic notification to a second computing device associated with the user, the task to be performed by the user and the deadline;
- receive a third electronic notification from the electronic device in the plurality of networked household devices indicating completion of the task, wherein the electronic device, in the plurality of networked household devices, sends the third electronic notification in response to the electronic device, in the plurality of networked household devices, detecting one or more changes in the settings for the task based on changes determined from the operating data associated with the electronic device in the plurality of networked household devices;
- and
- in response to receiving the third electronic notification, initiating a fourth electronic notification to a second networked household device or an electronic wallet application to initiate a reward, wherein an amount of the reward is based on whether the completion of the task occurs after the deadline.

A method for electronically assigning tasks to a user, the method comprising:
- monitoring operating data associated with an electronic device in a plurality of networked devices, wherein the electronic device is one networked device in the plurality of networked devices;
- receiving a selection of a task to be assigned to a user, the task associated with the electronic device in the plurality of networked devices, wherein the selection indicates the user to be assigned to the task;
- receiving a deadline for completion of the task;
- communicating, via a first electronic notification to the electronic device in the plurality of networked devices, settings for the task based on the operating data associated with the electronic device in the plurality of networked devices;
- communicating, via a second electronic notification to a second computing device associated with the user, the task to be performed by the user and the deadline;
- receiving a third electronic notification from the electronic device in the plurality of networked devices indicating completion of the task, wherein the electronic device, in the plurality of networked devices, sends the third electronic notification in response to the electronic device, in the plurality of networked devices, detecting one or more changes in the settings for the task based on changes determined from the operating data associated with the electronic device in the plurality of networked devices;
- and
- in response to receiving the third electronic notification, initiating a fourth electronic notification to a second networked electronic device or an electronic wallet application to initiate a reward, wherein an amount of the reward is based on whether the completion of the task occurs after the deadline.
5 more elements
A computing system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform a process comprising:
- monitoring operating data associated with an electronic device in a plurality of networked devices, wherein the electronic device is one networked device in the plurality of networked devices;
- receiving a selection of a task to be assigned to a user, the task associated with the electronic device in the plurality of networked devices, wherein the selection indicates the user to be assigned to the task;
- receiving a deadline for completion of the task;
- communicating, via a first electronic notification to the electronic device in the plurality of networked devices, settings for the task based on the operating data associated with the electronic device in the plurality of networked devices;
- communicating, via a second electronic notification to a second computing device associated with the user, the task to be performed by the user and the deadline;
- receiving a third electronic notification from the electronic device in the plurality of networked devices indicating completion of the task, wherein the electronic device, in the plurality of networked devices, sends the third electronic notification in response to the electronic device, in the plurality of networked devices, detecting one or more changes in the settings for the task based on changes determined from the operating data associated with the electronic device in the plurality of networked devices;
- and
- in response to receiving the third electronic notification, initiating a fourth electronic notification to a second networked electronic device to initiate a reward, wherein an amount of the reward is based on whether the completion of the task occurs after the deadline.
