Abstract

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

Claims (34)

1. A system, comprising:

a server configured to:

collect data via a transport sensor; and

determine a privacy setting of the collected data, wherein the privacy setting is associated with an anonymity of a user associated with the transport sensor and the collected data;

wherein the collected data is assigned to one or more categories based on share permissions of the collected data stored in a profile associated with the transport; and

wherein the collected data is sent to one or more recipients based on the one or more categories, wherein the one or more recipients are based on the one or more categories which are identified in corresponding profiles of the one or more recipients.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data comprises a plurality of different sensor data sets collected from a plurality of different sensor types and one or more computing devices associated with the transport.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of different sensor data sets are assigned to different ones of the one or more categories, and wherein the one or more recipients comprise a plurality of different recipients with corresponding different ones of the categories assigned to their respective recipient profiles.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein sensor content of the sensor data comprises one or more of a radio station selection, recorded audio, mobile device usage within the transport, telephone calls conducted inside the transport, browser history of at least one of the computing devices, purchases conducted via the at least one of computing devices inside the transport, movement of the transport, collision of the transport, acceleration of the transport, temperature of the transport, location of the transport, and detected traffic near the transport.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein a type of sensor used related to the sensor data comprises movement sensors, sonar sensors, accelerometers, temperature sensors, speed sensors, sound sensors, collision sensors, tire pressure sensors, location determination sensors, camera sensors, activity sensors, and biometric sensors.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a distributed ledger stored in memory; and

wherein a smart contract stored in the distributed ledger is invoked responsive to the sensor data being identified as being associated with sensor data shared permissions, wherein the smart contract comprises at least a portion of a transport profile, recipient profiles, a type of sensor data associated with recipient profiles, and a value assigned to the transport based on the sensor data being shared.

7. A method, comprising:

collecting data via a transport sensor; and

determining a privacy setting of the collected data, wherein the privacy setting is associated with an anonymity of a user associated with the transport sensor and the collected data;

wherein the collected data is assigned to one or more categories based on share permissions of the collected data stored in a profile associated with the transport; and

wherein the collected data is sent to one or more recipients based on the one or more categories, wherein the one or more recipients are based on the one or more categories which are identified in corresponding profiles of the one or more recipients.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the sensor data comprises a plurality of different sensor data sets collected from a plurality of different sensor types and one or more computing devices associated with the transport.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of different sensor data sets are assigned to different ones of the one or more categories, and wherein the one or more recipients comprise a plurality of different recipients with corresponding different ones of the categories assigned to their respective recipient profiles.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein sensor content of the sensor data comprises one or more of a radio station selection, recorded audio, mobile device usage within the transport, telephone calls conducted inside the transport, browser history of at least one of the computing devices, purchases conducted via the at least one of computing devices inside the transport, movement of the transport, collision of the transport, acceleration of the transport, temperature of the transport, location of the transport, and detected traffic near the transport.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein a type of sensor used related to the sensor data comprises movement sensors, sonar sensors, accelerometers, temperature sensors, speed sensors, sound sensors, collision sensors, tire pressure sensors, location determination sensors, camera sensors, activity sensors, and biometric sensors.

12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

storing a smart contract in a distributed ledger; and

invoking the smart contract responsive to the sensor data being identified as being associated with sensor data shared permissions, wherein the smart contract comprises at least a portion of a transport profile, recipient profiles, a type of sensor data associated with recipient profiles, and a value assigned to the transport based on sensor data being shared.

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

collect data via a transport sensor; and

determine a privacy setting of the collected data, wherein the privacy setting is associated with an anonymity of a user associated with the transport sensor and the collected data;

wherein the collected data is assigned to one or more categories based on share permissions of the collected data stored in a profile associated with the transport; and

wherein the collected data is sent to one or more recipients based on the one or more categories, wherein the one or more recipients are based on the one or more categories which are identified in corresponding profiles of the one or more recipients.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the sensor data comprises a plurality of different sensor data sets collected from a plurality of different sensor types and one or more computing devices associated with the transport.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of different sensor data sets are assigned to different ones of the one or more categories, and wherein the one or more recipients comprise a plurality of different recipients with corresponding different ones of the categories assigned to their respective recipient profiles.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein sensor content of the sensor data comprises one or more of a radio station selection, recorded audio, mobile device usage within the transport, telephone calls conducted inside the transport, browser history of at least one of computing devices, purchases conducted via the at least one of the computing devices inside the transport, movement of the transport, collision of the transport, acceleration of the transport, temperature of the transport, location of the transport, and detected traffic near the transport.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein a type of sensor used related to the sensor data comprises movement sensors, sonar sensors, accelerometers, temperature sensors, speed sensors, sound sensors, collision sensors, tire pressure sensors, location determination sensors, camera sensors, activity sensors, and biometric sensors.
