Abstract

A machine for tracking job completion is disclosed. The machine for tracking job completion includes a software program that users can execute. Users are classified as either parents or children. Users classified as parents are allowed to use an assign jobs utility, an assign reward utility, a family member definition utility, and a parent send message utility. Parents use these utilities to define and assign jobs to a child and define and assign rewards the child can earn by completion of the jobs. Users classified as children are allowed to use a job credit utility, a reward purchase utility, an organize points utility, and a child send message utility. Children use these utilities to track job completion and purchase rewards earned by job completion. Child users can spend earned points on rewards that allow them to save money or rewards points, and/or contribute their earned money to charity.

Claims

1. A machine for tracking job completion comprising:

a microprocessor coupled to a memory; and

a software program installable on the memory and operated by using the microprocessor,

the software program comprising;

an accumulate points utility, wherein the accumulate points utility instructs the microprocessor to add an earned point value to a points to organize value;

and

an organize points utility, wherein the organize points utility instructs the microprocessor to perform the following steps;

subtract an organize save points value from the points to organize value; and

add the organize save points value to a save points value.

2. The machine of claim 1, wherein the organize points utility instructs the microprocessor to further perform the following steps:

subtract an organize share points value from the points to organize value;

and

add the organize share points value to a share points value.

3. The machine of claim 2, wherein the organize points utility instructs the microprocessor

to further perform the following steps:

subtract an organize spend points value from the points to organize value;

and

add the organize spend points value to a spend points value.

4. The machine of claim 3, wherein the software program further comprises an assign rewards utility, wherein the assign rewards utility instructs the microprocessor to perform the following steps:

create a save reward name;

assign the save reward name to a user of the software program that is classified as a child;

store a share reward name;

assign the share reward name to the child user;

create a spend reward list comprising a spend reward name and a spend reward point value, wherein the spend reward point value is associated with the spend reward name;

and

assign the spend reward list to the child user.

5. The machine of claim 4, where the software program further comprises a reward purchase utility, wherein the reward purchase utility instructs the microprocessor to perform the following steps:

assign a share reward point value to the share reward name;

subtract the share reward point value from the share points value;

and

add the share reward name to a rewards purchased list.

6. The machine of claim 5, wherein the reward purchase utility further instructs the microprocessor to perform the following step:

post the share reward name to a social networking site.

7. The machine of claim 5, wherein the software program restricts access to the assign rewards utility such that a user of the software program is allowed to access the assign rewards utility only if the user is registered as a parent user.

8. A memory with an executable software program stored thereon, wherein the software program instructs a microprocessor to perform the following steps:

register a plurality of users of the software program;

and

divide up the plurality of users of the software program into a plurality of family sets, wherein each family set includes at least two users of the software program.

9. The memory with an executable software program stored thereon of claim 8, wherein the software program further instructs the microprocessor to perform the following steps:

classify at least one user in each family set as a parent user;

and

classify at least one user in each family set as a child user;

wherein users of the software program can be classified as either a parent user or a child user, but not as both a parent user and a child user.

10. The memory with an executable software program stored thereon of claim 9, wherein the software program further instructs the microprocessor to perform the following steps:

allow each parent user to execute an assign jobs utility, wherein the assign jobs utility assigns a job name to a child user;

and

restrict each child user from executing the assign jobs utility.

11. The memory with an executable software program stored thereon of claim 9, wherein the software program further instructs the microprocessor to perform the following steps:

allow each parent user to execute an assign rewards utility, wherein the assign rewards utility stores a share reward list comprising a share reward name;

and

restrict each child user from accessing the assign rewards utility.

12. The memory with an executable software program stored thereon of claim 11, wherein the software program further instructs the microprocessor to perform the following step:

allow a child user to execute an organize points utility, wherein the organize points utility stores an organize save points value, an organize share points value, and an organize spend points value.

13. The memory with an executable software program stored thereon of claim 12, wherein the organize points utility instructs the microprocessor to perform the following steps:

subtract the organize share points value from a points to organize value;

and

add the organize share points value to a share points value.

14. The memory with an executable software program stored thereon of claim 13, wherein the software program further instructs the microprocessor to allow the child user to execute a reward purchase utility, wherein the reward purchase utility instructs the microprocessor to perform the following steps:

store a share reward point value, wherein the share reward point value is associated with the share reward name;

and

subtract the share reward point value from the share points value.

15. A computer performed method of spending earned reward points, the method comprising the steps of:

accumulating earned points into a points to organize value;

dividing the points to organize value into a save points value, a share points value, and a spend points value;

spending save points by purchasing a save reward;

spending share points by purchasing a share reward;

and

spending spend points by purchasing a spend reward.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising the steps of:

choosing a save reward name from a save reward list;

choosing a share reward name from a share reward list;

and

choosing a spend reward name from a spend reward list.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the save reward list is created by a parent user.

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising the steps of:

assigning a save reward point value to the save reward name;

and

assigning a share reward point value to the share reward name.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising the step of converting share points to a monetary value.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the share reward list comprises one or more than one name of a charity organization.
