System for linking exercise to carbon emission reduction

Abstract

This invention relates to a system linking exercise to carbon emission reduction. Its main purpose is to encourage users to replace traditional transportation with exercise methods such as walking or cycling, thereby recording the amount of carbon emissions reduced. This reduction is then converted into virtual tokens with tangible rewards, which can be used for consumption or discounts at partner stores. This effectively increases the public's willingness to participate in energy conservation and carbon reduction, while promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Claims

1. A motion-driven carbon emission reduction linkage system, comprising a wearable device and a mobile application installed on a mobile device, wherein the wearable device includes a motion data sensing unit and a data transmission unit, the motion data sensing unit is used to detect and record a user's motion type and a motion distance, and the data transmission unit is used to wirelessly transmit the motion type and the motion distance to the mobile application; and the mobile application includes: a user interface unit; a data receiving unit for receiving the motion type and the motion distance from the wearable device; and a carbon emission calculation module, comprising a vehicle carbon emission coefficient database and a carbon reduction calculation unit, the vehicle carbon emission coefficient database storing carbon emission coefficients corresponding to a plurality of vehicle types, and the carbon reduction calculation unit coupled to the data receiving unit and the vehicle carbon emission coefficient database for calculating a carbon emission reduction value based on the motion distance and a carbon emission coefficient corresponding to a vehicle type to be replaced selected by the user interface unit; A virtual token conversion module includes a conversion rule database and a token generation unit. The conversion rule database stores a conversion rule between the carbon emission reduction value and a virtual token. The token generation unit is coupled to the carbon reduction calculation unit and the conversion rule database to generate a corresponding number of virtual tokens based on the carbon emission reduction value and the conversion rule. A user account management module includes a virtual token storage unit and an exercise record storage unit. The virtual token storage unit stores the virtual token, and the exercise record storage unit stores the exercise type, exercise distance, and carbon emission reduction value. A partner store interaction module includes a store list unit and a token payment interface. The store list unit displays information about a partner store, and the token payment interface allows the user to use the virtual token in a partner store system. The carbon emission reduction value is calculated using the following formula: Reduced carbon emissions (gCO2e) = Carbon emission coefficient of the replaced mode of transportation (gCO2e / person-km) × Exercise distance (km).

2. The exercise-driven carbon emission reduction linkage system as described in claim 1, wherein the wearable device is a smartwatch or a fitness tracker.

3. The motion-induced carbon emission reduction linkage system as described in claim 1, wherein the motion data sensing unit uses at least one of a Global Positioning System (GPS) module, an accelerometer, or a gyroscope to detect the type of motion and the distance of motion.

5. The motion-induced carbon emission reduction linkage system as described in claim 1, wherein the vehicle types stored in the vehicle carbon emission coefficient database include at least automobiles, motorcycles and buses.

6. The motion-induced carbon emission reduction linkage system as described in claim 1, wherein the carbon emission reduction calculation unit calculates the carbon emission reduction value using the formula: the carbon emission coefficient corresponding to the type of transportation being replaced multiplied by the distance traveled.

7. The motion-induced carbon emission reduction linkage system as described in claim 1, wherein the user interface unit allows the user to set the type of transportation they most frequently use.

8. The exercise-driven carbon emission reduction linkage system as described in claim 1, wherein the mobile application can accumulate the user's total daily, weekly, monthly or annual carbon emission reduction figures and total virtual token count, and display them through the user interface unit.

9. The exercise-driven carbon emission reduction linkage system as described in claim 1, wherein the token payment interface interacts with a token verification receiving unit of the cooperating store system via QR code, barcode, or near-field communication (NFC) technology to complete the token payment.
