Monitoring efficiency and ecological impact associated with a use of a product
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- means for associating a physical product with a user account associated with a user in response to a signal indicating that the user has control of the physical product;
means for receiving data associated with use of the physical product by the user during a period of time the user has control of the physical product;
means for computing at least one of an efficiency-of-use score and an environmental impact quantification according to the data associated with the use of the physical product by the user over a period of time the user is indicated as having control of the physical product; and
means for publishing at least one of the efficiency-of-use score and the environmental impact quantification.

Abstract
Systems and methods for determining efficiency-of-use scores related to uses of a product by two or more users may implement operations including, but not limited to: associating a physical product with a user account associated with a user in response to a signal indicating that the user has control of the physical product; receiving data associated with use of the physical product by the user during a period of time the user has control of the physical product; computing at least one of an efficiency-of-use score and an environmental impact quantification according to the data associated with the use of the physical product by the user over a period of time the user is indicated as having control of the physical product; and publishing at least one of the efficiency-of-use score and the environmental impact quantification.

56. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
associating a physical product with a user account associated with a user in response to a signal indicating that the user has control of the physical product; receiving data associated with use of the physical product by the user during a period of time the user has control of the physical product; computing at least one of an efficiency-of-use score and an environmental impact quantification according to the data associated with the use of the physical product by the user over a period of time the user is indicated as having control of the physical product; and publishing at least one of the efficiency-of-use score and the environmental impact quantification.
