Purchasing and monetizing of mobile autonomous units
Purchasing, maintaining, and deriving revenue from mobile autonomous units is facilitated by providing a mobile autonomous unit marketplace in which equity shares in mobile autonomous units can be bought, sold and traded. Valuation of mobile autonomous units within the marketplace can be a function of a variety of factors such as the mobile autonomous unit’s primary geographic region, and the number, diversity, and time management of revenue streams available to the mobile autonomous units.
1 . A system, comprising:
a mobile autonomous unit including an enclosure configured as a living space and as a tenancy space;
at least one readable and writable data storage device storing data related to a plurality of pre-defined geographical areas and the mobile autonomous unit;
at least one processor; and
memory encoding instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
identify a plurality of revenue streams for the mobile autonomous unit, the plurality of revenue streams including at least two of:
i) a lodging in the mobile autonomous unit;
ii) a riding in the mobile autonomous unit to a destination;
iii) a using of the mobile autonomous unit as a workspace; and
iv) a using of the mobile autonomous unit as a social space; and
activate the at least two revenue streams by causing the mobile autonomous unit to move between at least two locations.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
value the mobile autonomous unit based on the identified revenue streams and a predicted home region of the mobile autonomous unit, the home region being a first of the pre-defined geographical areas in which the mobile autonomous unit spends more time than in any of the other pre-defined geographical areas.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile autonomous unit comprises an electricity generating device.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the electricity generating device comprises at least one solar panel.
5 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the mobile autonomous unit generates revenue from at least one non-tenant revenue source, and wherein the value includes accounting for a predicted future revenue from the at least one non-tenant revenue source.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one non-tenant revenue source includes at least one of: selling energy generated by the mobile autonomous unit; selling space on the mobile autonomous unit for advertising; and selling space on the mobile autonomous unit for accommodating a non-human physical object.
7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to cause at least the mobile autonomous unit to maximize a future revenue generated by the mobile autonomous unit.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to cause the mobile autonomous unit to move to a location where the mobile autonomous unit is cleaned.
9 . The system of claim 1 ,
wherein the mobile autonomous unit is owned by a proprietor; and
wherein the predicted home region is determined based on historical location information of the proprietor that is stored on the at least one database.
10 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the mobile autonomous unit includes a device configured to transfer energy generated by the electricity generating device off of the mobile autonomous unit.
11 . A computer implemented method, comprising:
identifying a plurality of revenue streams for a mobile autonomous unit, the mobile autonomous unit including an enclosure configured as a living space and as a tenancy space, the plurality of revenue streams including at least two of:
i) a lodging in the mobile autonomous unit;
ii) a riding in the mobile autonomous unit to a destination;
iii) a using of the mobile autonomous unit as a workspace; and
iv) a using of the mobile autonomous unit as a social space; and
activating the at least two revenue streams by causing the mobile autonomous unit to move between at least two locations.
12 . The computer implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising valuing the mobile autonomous unit based on the identified revenue streams and a predicted home region of the mobile autonomous unit, the predicted home region being a first of a plurality of pre-defined geographical areas in which the mobile autonomous unit spends more time than in any of the other pre-defined geographical areas.
13 . The computer implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising generating electricity using a solar panel of the mobile autonomous unit.
14 . The computer implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising: providing advertising on the mobile autonomous unit.
15 . The computer implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising:
generating revenue from at least one non-tenant revenue source,
wherein the valuing further comprises accounting for a predicted future revenue from the at least one non-tenant revenue source.
16 . The computer implemented method of claim 15 , wherein the at least one non-tenant revenue source includes one or more of: selling energy generated by the mobile autonomous unit; selling space on the mobile autonomous unit for advertising; and selling space on the mobile autonomous unit for accommodating a non-human physical object.
17 . The computer implemented method of claim 15 , further comprising maximizing a future revenue generated by the mobile autonomous unit.
18 . A computer-readable data storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
identify a plurality of revenue streams for a mobile autonomous unit, the mobile autonomous unit including an enclosure configured as a living space and as a tenancy space, the plurality of revenue streams including at least two of:
i) a lodging in the mobile autonomous unit;
ii) a riding in the mobile autonomous unit to a destination;
iii) a using of the mobile autonomous unit as a workspace; and
iv) a using of the mobile autonomous unit as a social space; and
activate the at least two revenue streams by causing the mobile autonomous unit to move between at least two locations.
19 . The computer-readable data storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to value the mobile autonomous unit based on:
i) the identified revenue streams;
ii) a predicted home region of the mobile autonomous unit, the home region being a first of a plurality of pre-defined geographical areas in which the mobile autonomous unit spends more time than in any of the other pre-defined geographical areas; and
iii) a predicted future revenue of the mobile autonomous unit generated from one or more of: advertising space on the mobile autonomous unit; energy generated by the mobile autonomous unit; and space on the mobile autonomous unit for accommodating a non-human physical object.
20 . The computer-readable data storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause the mobile autonomous unit to move to a location where the mobile autonomous unit is cleaned.
