Abstract
Method and system for providing carbon offsets. For example, the method includes collecting mindful driving data for one or more vehicle trips made by a user, analyzing the mindful driving data to determine a level of mindful driving of the user, determining a level of carbon offset reward based at least in part upon the level of mindful driving of the user, determining an amount of total carbon emission of the user, and providing an amount of carbon offset reward based at least in part upon the level of carbon offset reward and the amount of total carbon emission.
Claims17
A method for operating a computing device including one or more processors, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the computing device, trip data defining occurrence of a vehicle trip by a user in a vehicle;
- using a trained model, by the computing device using the trip data, to predict levels of mindful driving behavior, wherein the trained model is configured to be trained by:
- collecting one or more sets of training data corresponding to levels of mindful driving behavior, the sets of training data adapted to be collected from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle;
- processing the one or more sets of training data with the trained model to determine one or more mindful driving features;
- generating a predicted level of mindful driving based on the one or more mindful driving features, the predicted level of mindful driving including one or more parameters;
- and
- adjusting the one or more parameters associated with the predicted level of mindful driving to update the trained model;
- receiving, by the computing device, fuel-consumption data, from the one or more sensors associated with the vehicle;
- receiving, by the computing device, vehicle information of the vehicle;
- receiving, by the computing device, mindful driving data including information related to a mindful driving behavior of the user;
- processing the mindful driving data by the computing device using the trained model to determine a level of mindful driving behavior of the user during the vehicle trip;
- calculating a level of carbon offset reward based upon the level of mindful driving behavior, wherein the level of carbon offset reward represents a percentage value;
- determining, by the computing device in response to the trip data, an amount of total carbon emission of the vehicle during the vehicle trip based upon the fuel-consumption data and the vehicle information;
- calculating, by the computing device, an amount of carbon offset reward based upon the level of carbon offset reward and the amount of total carbon emission;
- and
- determining a monetary value associated with the amount of carbon offset reward to plant trees.
A computing device, comprising:
- one or more processors;

- receive trip data defining occurrence of a vehicle trip by a user in a vehicle;
- use a trained model, using the trip data, to predict levels of mindful driving behavior, wherein the trained model is configured to be trained by:
- collecting one or more sets of training data corresponding to levels of mindful driving behavior, the sets of training data adapted to be collected from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle;
- processing the one or more sets of training data with the trained model to determine one or more mindful driving features;
- generating a predicted level of mindful driving based on the one or more mindful driving features, the predicted level of mindful driving including one or more parameters;
- and
- adjusting the one or more parameters associated with the predicted level of mindful driving to update the trained model;
- receive, fuel-consumption data, from the one or more sensors associated with the vehicle;
- receive vehicle information of the vehicle;
- receive mindful driving data including information related to a mindful driving behavior of the user;
- process the mindful driving data using the trained model to determine a level of mindful driving behavior of the user;
- calculate a level of carbon offset reward based upon the level of mindful driving behavior, wherein the level of carbon offset reward represents a percentage value;
- determine, in response to the trip data, an amount of total carbon emission of the vehicle during the vehicle trip based upon the fuel-consumption data and the vehicle information;
- calculate an amount of carbon offset reward based upon the level of carbon offset reward and the amount of total carbon emission;
- and
- determine a monetary value associated with the amount of carbon offset reward to plant trees.
