Abstract

An example operation may include providing a value to a transport based on sensor data associated with the transport.

Claims (63)

1. A system, comprising:

at least one sensor on a transport; and

a server configured to receive data collected from the at least one sensor;

wherein the received data is compared by the server to transport operation threshold data;

wherein the server completes an action which modifies the transport's operation based on a result of the comparison; and

wherein the server provides a value to the transport based on a result of the modification of the transport's operation.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server is configured to:

identify the data which comprises sensor data sets collected from at least one of: the at least one sensor and at least one computing device that operates in the transport;

assign the sensor data to one or more categories based on a type of the at least one sensor used to collect the data; and

identify one or more recipient devices registered to receive the data based on the one or more categories and one or more recipient profiles.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more recipient devices are each associated with the one or more recipient profiles, wherein each profile comprises:

at least one time interval to receive the data;

at least one category of the data; and

at least one threshold event which occurs when the data exceeds a limit included in the recipient profile.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the server is configured to:

match the sensor data sets to the one or more recipient profiles, based on the at least one time interval and the at least one category; and

transmit the matched sensor data sets based on the recipient profiles.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a distributed ledger stored in the server; and

a smart contract stored in the distributed ledger, wherein the smart contract is invoked responsive to the data being identified as being associated with shared permissions of the sensor data based on a privacy setting.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the smart contract comprises information related to one or more of: the sensor data, the transport, a data recipient, the one or more recipient devices, a type of sensor, and the value provided to the transport based on the result of the action.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the smart contract invocation results in a transaction being performed which comprises the data being shared with the one or more recipient devices, the value provided to the transport, a date assigned to the transaction, and the transaction being placed in the distributed ledger.

8. A method, comprising:

transmitting data associated with at least one sensor on a transport to a server;

comparing the received data to a transport operation threshold data;

completing an action at the server which modifies the transport's operation based on a result of the comparison; and

providing a value to the transport based on the result of the modification of the transport's operation.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

identifying the data which comprises sensor data sets collected from at least one of the at least one sensor and at least one computing device operating in the transport;

assigning the sensor data to one or more categories based on a type of the at least one sensor used to collect the data; and

identifying one or more recipient devices registered to receive the data based on the one or more categories and one or more recipient profiles.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more recipient devices are each associated with the one or more recipient profiles, wherein each profile comprises:

at least one time interval to receive the data;

at least one category of the data; and

at least one threshold event which occurs when the data exceeds a limit included in the recipient profile.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

matching the sensor data sets to the one or more recipient profiles, based on the at least one time interval and the at least one category; and

transmitting the matched sensor data sets based on the recipient profiles.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

a distributed ledger stored in the server; and

a smart contract stored in the distributed ledger, wherein the smart contract is invoked responsive to the data being identified as being associated with shared permissions of the sensor data based on a privacy setting.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the smart contract comprises information related to one or more of: the sensor data, the transport, a data recipient, the one or more recipient devices, a type of sensor, and the value provided to the transport based on the result of the action.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the smart contract invocation results in a transaction being performed which comprises the data being shared with the one or more recipient devices, the value provided to the transport, a date assigned to the transaction, and the transaction being placed in the distributed ledger.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

transmitting data associated with at least one sensor on a transport to a server;

comparing the received data to a transport operation threshold data;

completing an action at the server which modifies the transport's operation based on a result of the comparison; and

providing a value to the transport based on the result of the modification of the transport's operation.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

identifying the data which comprises sensor data sets collected from at least one of the at least one sensor and at least one computing device operating in the transport;

assigning the sensor data to one or more categories based on a type of the at least one sensor used to collect the data; and

identifying one or more recipient devices registered to receive the data based on the one or more categories and one or more recipient profiles.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more recipient devices are each associated with the one or more recipient profiles, wherein each profile comprises:

at least one time interval to receive the data;

at least one category of the data; and

at least one threshold event which occurs when the data exceeds a limit included in the recipient profile.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , further comprising:

matching the sensor data sets to the one or more recipient profiles, based on the at least one time interval and the at least one category; and

transmitting the matched sensor data sets based on the recipient profiles.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

a distributed ledger stored in the server; and

a smart contract stored in the distributed ledger, wherein the smart contract is invoked responsive to the data being identified as being associated with shared permissions of the sensor data based on a privacy setting.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the smart contract comprises information related to one or more of: the sensor data, the transport, a data recipient, the one or more recipient devices, a type of sensor, and the value provided to the transport based on the result of the action.
