  • Publication number: 20170236445
    Abstract: Methods and devices for conducting environmental consciousness interactive activities to save on environmental resources are disclosed. IN examples described, a centralized electronic administration platform and electronic user access devices are provided. Activity types are selected and initial activity parameteres are set up for the selected activity types. Then thresholds are set up for activity related key performance indicators (KPIs). The activities are launched and user interaction data is collected at the electronic user access devices. The user interaction data is correlated with each activity related KPI at the centralized electronic administration platform to generate an activity related KPI value. A task based workflow engine is launched at the centralized electronic administration platform to implement at least an algorithm to modify the activity parameters when an activity related KPI vlaue is below the corresponding KPI threshold.

  • Publication number: 20170132722
    Abstract: Techniques for controlling energy efficiency and demand response are disclosed. According to the disclosure, a first set of values associated with a first user comprising real-time energy consumption metrics and a second set of values associated with the first user comprising real-time social networking metrics are identified. The two sets of values are correlated to create a personalized set of incentives selected to stimulate deviation of the energy consumption of the first user. In a variable cluster of users the two sets are correlated in order to assign automatically adaptive incentives from a social energy game scenario pool for motivation control. Based on the above results and the correlated energy and social metrics, specific incentives from a pool of incentives are selected.
