  • Publication number: 20240289177
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to apparatuses, methods, computer program products, computer readable media, and systems related to optimizing resource usage. In some embodiments a computer-implemented method may include receiving a device identifier corresponding to a device; identifying a plurality of segments of device data associated with the device; assembling resource usage data, using one or more models, for the device by generating one or more resource usage data segments for one or more of the plurality of segments of the device data; and generating the resource usage data for the device from the one or more resource usage data segments. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method may include triggering a subsequent use period of the device by directing disposition of the device based on the resource usage data, wherein the subsequent use period comprises linking the device with a subsequent user account.
