Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon emission technology, specifically to a carbon footprint accounting system and method based on large-scale models and blockchain. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon footprint (CO2 footprint) refers to the total greenhouse gas emissions generated by businesses, activities, products, or individuals through transportation, food production and consumption, and various production processes. It describes the impact of an individual's energy awareness and behavior on the natural world and calls on people to start with themselves. Some companies have already begun to implement environmental protection concepts to reduce their carbon footprint.
[0003] Chinese patent application CN115471066A discloses a carbon footprint accounting system and method, including a terminal, an application server, and a database. The application server contains multiple functional modules for carbon emission accounting, used for data processing, algorithm analysis, and function deployment. The database stores data information. The functional modules include a model field information encoding module, a carbon footprint accounting model module, a carbon accounting strategy module, a mapping relationship module, a category module, a unification module, a data acquisition module, an automatic accounting module, a comparison module, a monitoring module, and an evaluation module. This invention, based on a digital management platform, facilitates and quickly enables flexible configuration, automatic calculation, storage, comparison, querying, and display of carbon emission data. It reduces repetitive work in carbon emission calculation, improves carbon emission accounting efficiency, and ensures the granularity and accuracy of carbon emission calculations.
[0004] However, simply detecting carbon footprint and carbon emissions and displaying the results to users is not enough for those without relevant knowledge to fully understand the meaning of these results. To better promote the concept of reducing carbon emissions, it is necessary not only to detect carbon footprint and predict carbon emissions, but also to compare various carbon footprints and their emissions. When users choose lower-carbon behaviors, the reduced carbon emissions and their corresponding value should be displayed to users, giving them a more intuitive understanding. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a carbon footprint accounting system and method based on large models and blockchain to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a carbon footprint accounting system based on a large model and blockchain, comprising a monitoring module, a carbon emission monitoring module, a target identification and matching module, a comparison database, a carbon emission prediction module, a carbon emission comparison module, and a carbon emission correction module; The monitoring module is used for video surveillance of the target area to obtain monitoring video; The carbon emission monitoring module is used to monitor carbon emissions in the target area, including locating emission locations and recording carbon emission amounts; The target recognition and matching module is used to acquire the monitoring video of the monitoring module, and perform image recognition on the monitoring video to identify the target object and the target object's behavior; The target identification and matching module is also used to associate and bind the carbon emission amount with the corresponding target object based on image recognition and the emission location and carbon emission amount located by the carbon emission monitoring module. The comparison database is used to store carbon purification information for various comparison behaviors, and value information corresponding to the emissions of the comparison behaviors; The carbon emission prediction module is used to predict the carbon emissions of user behavior based on user input. The carbon emission comparison module is used to obtain carbon emission savings based on the prediction results of the carbon emission prediction module and the target behavior identified by the target identification and matching module and the carbon emission amount associated with it. Based on the carbon emission savings and the comparison database, it calculates and outputs the comparison behavior in the comparison database corresponding to the carbon emission savings. The carbon emission correction module is used to correct the comparison database and the carbon emission prediction module based on the user-selected behavior, and / or the target behavior, and the carbon emissions of the user matched by the target identification and matching module.
[0007] Furthermore, the target identification and matching module is also used to store target information; the target identification and matching module performs feature recognition and matching on the real-time identified target and the stored target information, and associates and binds the target that matches the target information with the target information; the carbon emission record can be queried through the target information, wherein the feature recognition can use image recognition algorithms to compare the similarity between the identified target and the stored target information, and determine whether the identified target matches the stored target information through the similarity calculation result.
[0008] Furthermore, the target identification and matching module is also used to mark target objects for which no target object information is matched as target objects to be determined; the target identification and matching module determines the target objects to be determined and updates the information of the target objects to be determined into the stored target object information.
[0009] Furthermore, the comparative activities include the carbon dioxide purification capacity per square meter per day of various plants, the carbon dioxide purification capacity per hour and usage cost of various carbon dioxide purification devices, and the carbon emissions per unit quantity of products produced by various production equipment.
[0010] Furthermore, the calculation and output of the comparison in the comparison database corresponding to the carbon emission savings specifically includes: Based on the carbon emission savings and the carbon dioxide purification capacity of the plant per square meter per day, calculate the number of days and time required for the plant to purify the carbon emission savings, including but not limited to displaying the amount of carbon emission savings required to purify one square meter of the plant in one day, and the amount of carbon dioxide purification required to purify one square meter of the plant in one day. Based on the carbon emission savings, the hourly carbon dioxide purification capacity of the carbon dioxide purification equipment, and the operating cost, the time and operating cost required for the equipment to purify the saved carbon emissions can be calculated. The output can display the equipment model, price, required operating time, and the cost incurred for operating the aforementioned time. Based on the carbon emission savings and the carbon emission of a unit of product produced by the production equipment, calculate the number of products produced by the production equipment consuming the carbon emission savings. If the production equipment is a thermal power plant, the output can display how many kilowatt-hours of electricity the carbon emission savings are equivalent to generated by the thermal power plant.
[0011] Furthermore, the carbon emission prediction module includes a big data model, which is trained and generated based on collected carbon emission data from various behaviors.

Based on a big data model, the module pre-collects carbon emission data from various behaviors to train the model. In practical applications, user behaviors are input into the trained big data model, and the model outputs the predicted carbon emissions. The behaviors include the manner and extent of carbon emissions, with the extent including distance and time, such as the number of kilometers driven or the number of hours the air conditioner was on.
[0034] The carbon emission comparison module is used to calculate carbon emission savings based on the prediction results of the carbon emission prediction module and the target behavior and associated carbon emission amounts identified by the target identification and matching module. Based on the carbon emission savings and the comparison database, it calculates and outputs the corresponding comparison behavior in the database, such as determining which comparison behavior in the database the saved carbon emission amount corresponds to. Specifically, this includes: Based on the carbon emission savings and the carbon dioxide purification capacity of the plant per square meter per day, calculate the number of days and time required for the plant to purify the carbon emission savings, including but not limited to displaying the amount of carbon emission savings required per square meter per day or the amount of carbon emission savings required per square meter per day. Based on the carbon emission savings, the hourly carbon dioxide purification capacity of the carbon dioxide purification equipment, and the operating cost, the time and operating cost required for the equipment to purify the carbon emission savings can be calculated. The output can display the equipment model, price, required working time, and the cost required to work for the above time. Based on the carbon emission savings and the carbon emission of the products produced per unit quantity by the production equipment, calculate the quantity of products produced by the production equipment using the carbon emission savings. If the production equipment is a thermal power plant, the output can display how many kilowatt-hours of electricity the carbon emission savings are equivalent to generated by the thermal power plant.
[0035] In other embodiments of this application, the prediction results or the target behavior identified by the target identification and matching module and the carbon emissions associated with it can be compared with the carbon emissions of other behaviors of the same type as user behavior or target behavior in the settlement system to obtain carbon emission savings, and the comparison behaviors in the comparison database corresponding to the carbon emission savings can be calculated and output.
[0036] The carbon emission correction module is used to correct the carbon emissions of the comparison database and the carbon emission prediction module based on user-selected behaviors, such as user behavior or target behavior, and the carbon emissions of users matched by the target identification and matching module.
[0037] Furthermore, this application also includes connecting carbon footprint accounting systems in different target areas through blockchain technology, enabling data interoperability and facilitating comprehensive management.
[0038] A carbon footprint accounting method based on large-scale models and blockchain includes the following steps: S1. Collect data on the relationship between carbon emission behaviors and carbon emission amounts, and train a big data model; S2. Collect the carbon purification amount of various comparative behaviors and the value corresponding to the emissions of the comparative behaviors and store them in the comparative database; S3.

Combine the user information of the accounting system to match the target with the user information. If the match is successful, bind and associate it with the user information. S6. After a user selects a behavior, use a big data model to predict the carbon emissions of that behavior. S7. Based on the prediction results and the carbon emissions matched with user information, determine the amount of carbon emission savings. In some embodiments, behaviors similar to the user's selected behavior can also be retrieved, and the carbon emissions of the retrieved behaviors can be predicted to obtain a comparative carbon emission. If the comparative carbon emission is greater than the carbon emission of the user's selected behavior, the difference can be calculated to obtain the carbon emission savings.
[0039] S8. Calculate and output the comparison behavior in the comparison database corresponding to the carbon emission savings based on the carbon emission savings.
[0040] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration.
