Abstract

Disclosed are a method, a device and/or a system of an operator benefits and rewards through sensory tracking of a vehicle. In one aspect, a method includes associating a private vehicle with an individual. A behavior of the individual is monitored when the individual is operating the private vehicle. The method includes determining whether the individual is adhering to a set of parameters set by an entity. Information is presented to the individual that they have earned a credit towards a benefit based on operating of the private vehicle. The entity may be permitted to configure the set of parameters and set a weight to each of the set of parameters. A punitive measure may be provided when the set of parameters is violated. A curfew range may be set on the private vehicle such that a movement of the private vehicle is limited to the curfew range.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

associating a private vehicle with an individual;

monitoring a behavior of the individual when the individual is operating the private vehicle;

determining whether the individual is adhering to a set of parameters set by an entity using a processor and a memory; and

presenting an information to the individual that they have earned a credit toward a benefit based on the operating of the private vehicle by the individual.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

permitting the entity to configure the set of parameters including permitting the entity to set a weight to each of the set of parameters.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

providing a punitive measure when the set of parameters is violated.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

setting a curfew range on the private vehicle such that a movement of the private vehicle is limited to the curfew range; and

monitoring a set of sensors of the private vehicle to determine a geospatial location and a condition of the private vehicle.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

setting an insurance policy through an insurance provider based on at least adherence to the set of parameters.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

generating a metadata comprising a behavioral trait of the individual operating the private vehicle;

selecting an advertiser that targets the behavioral trait in promotion of a product and a service; and

presenting the advertiser with an advertising opportunity to the individual operating the private vehicle through a mobile device of the individual.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

creating a competition between individuals of a insurance provider;

determining if a particular individual is adhering to the set of parameters set by the entity; and

assigning the credit to the individual when the individual adheres to the set of parameters set by the entity, wherein the entity is the insurance provider,

wherein the individual is monitored by the entity, wherein the entity is the insurance provider.

8. A method comprising:

associating a private vehicle with an individual;

monitoring a behavior of the individual when the individual is operating the private vehicle;

permitting an entity to configure a set of parameters;

permitting the entity to assign a weight to each of the set of parameters using a processor and a memory; and

determining whether the individual is adhering to a set of parameters set by the entity.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

presenting an information to the individual that they have earned a credit toward a benefit based on the operating of the private vehicle by the individual.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising:

providing a punitive measure when the set of parameters is violated.

11. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

setting a curfew range on the private vehicle such that a movement of the private vehicle is limited to the curfew range; and

monitoring a set of sensors of the private vehicle to determine a geospatial location and a condition of the private vehicle.

12. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

setting an insurance policy through an insurance provider based on at least adherence to the set of parameters.

13. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

generating a metadata comprising a behavioral trait of the individual operating the private vehicle;

selecting an advertiser that targets the behavioral trait in promotion of a product and a service; and

presenting the advertiser with an advertising opportunity to the individual operating the private vehicle through a mobile device of the individual.

14. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

creating a competition between individuals of a insurance provider;

determining if a particular individual is adhering to the set of parameters set by the entity; and

assigning a credit to the individual when the individual adheres to the set of parameters set by the entity, wherein the entity is the insurance provider,

wherein the individual is monitored by the entity, wherein the entity is the insurance provider.

15. A system comprising:

a private vehicle associated with an individual; and

a central server configured to;

monitor a behavior of the individual when the individual is operating the private vehicle,

determine whether the individual is adhering to a set of parameters set by an entity using a processor and a memory, and

present an information to the individual that they have earned a credit toward a benefit based on the operating of the private vehicle by the individual.

16. The system of claim 15 further comprising:

a configure algorithm to permit the entity to configure the set of parameters including permitting the entity to set a weight to each of the set of parameters; and

a violation algorithm to provide a punitive measure when the set of parameters is violated.

17. The system of claim 15 further comprising:

a curfew algorithm to set a curfew range on the private vehicle such that a movement of the private vehicle is limited to the curfew range; and

a monitoring algorithm to monitor a set of sensors of the private vehicle to determine a geospatial location and a condition of the private vehicle.

18. The system of claim 15 further comprising:

an insurance algorithm to set an insurance policy through an insurance provider based on at least adherence to the set of parameters.

19. The system of claim 15 further comprising:

an affinity algorithm to;

generate a metadata comprising a behavioral trait of the individual operating the private vehicle,

select an advertiser that targets the behavioral trait in promotion of a product and a service, and

present the advertiser with an advertising opportunity to the individual operating the private vehicle through a mobile device of the individual,

wherein the entity is an insurance provider.

20. The system of claim 19 further comprising:

a competition algorithm to create a competition between individuals of the insurance provider;

an adherence algorithm to determine if the individual is adhering to the set of parameters set by the entity; and

a credit algorithm to assign the credit to the individual when the individual adheres to the set of parameters set by the entity, wherein the entity is the insurance provider,

wherein the individual is monitored by the entity, wherein the entity is the insurance provider.
