System and method for conducting data element transfers between smart devices

Abstract

The disclosure is directed to a system comprising a framework that is stored and executed on smart devices, facilitating transfers of data elements between different computers stored on different devices. The system supports transfers without the need to reconcile a central record, which is particularly advantageous for smart devices functioning within a local network with limited internet connectivity and / or available data. The system is designed to operate efficiently even in offline scenarios, leveraging cryptographic security to ensure data element transfer integrity and prevent double-transfer. When internet connectivity is available, the framework minimizes transfer traffic over the internet by enabling local verification of transfers, thus reducing reliance on traditional record keeping platforms or requirements that all transfers be reconciled through a central record. In some embodiments, the framework's architecture includes modules for transfer processing, data element storage, validation, and synchronization for management of data elements transfers between various smart devices.

[0001] This application claims the benefit of, and priority to, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 755,340 filed February 7, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002] This disclosure relates to systems and methods for conducting electronic data element communications and / or interactions between smart devices via cry ptographically secured tokens without a need to connect to a cloud platform.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0003] The disclosure is directed to a system that enables electronic transfers for smart devices using data elements. In some embodiments, data elements include cry ptographically secured tokens preloaded onto smart devices during manufacturing or onboarding. In some embodiments, the smart devices are configured to locally execute computer-implemented instructions for generating, storing, transferring, and / or validating data elements. The ability to transfer data elements locally reduces internet dependency and transfer traffic. The data element transfer framework enables transfers even in environments with limited connectivity;

[0004] The system includes a transfer engine that includes a transfer processing module, a storage module, a validation module, and a synchronization module to support both offline operation and periodic synchronization with a centralized record (e.g., central data element ledger). The transfer engine and / or data elements may be loaded onto an electronic device during manufacturing or when the device is first connected to the internet or a device with internet capabilities. The disclosed architecture and protocols ensure data security; prevent double-spending (also referred to as double-transfer, as discussed herein), and enhance transfer efficiency;

[0005] To initialize data elements, the system generates and signs a data element using a cryptographic key pair. Metadata, including the device ID, expiration date, and balance, is embedded into each data element. These data elements are stored in an encry pted local database or secure hardware module on the device. During transfer execution, the sender device private key is retrieved to digitally sign the transfer initiation (request), which is then transmitted to 1ACTIVE 718898472v1Attorney Docket No. 203863-019701ZPCT Resideo Ref. No. R214521-WO Electronically Filed: February 8, 2026 the recipient device over the local network. The transfer is logged in the sender device local record (e.g., local data element ledger) for offline validation.

[0006] For transfer validation, the recipient device validates the sender’s digital signature using their public key and verifies the data element’s cry ptographic signature and metadata for authenticity'. The system cross-references the sender’s local record to prevent double-spending. To synchronize the record, each device connects to a cloud-based server for periodic reconciliation of local transfers, updating balances and resolving any conflicts. Security mechanisms include encrypting all transfer data and data element storage using algorithms like AES or RSA and using secure hardware modules to enhance resistance against tampering and unauthorized access.DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DRAWING

In some embodiments, each smart device is configured for processing and validating transactions, including when one or the other is offline, leveraging preloaded cry ptographic data and local validation techniques provided by transfer engine 200.

[0055] In some embodiments, one or more data elements are preloaded onto a smart device via a secure hardware interface during manufacturing and / or transfer software when the smart device is connected to the internet, such as during the onboarding process or when data elements are purchased.

[0056] Turning to FIG. 3, process 300 provides a non-limiting example according to some embodiments for the disclosed system. In some embodiments, process 300 provides some nonlimiting embodiments for applications for which the disclosed framework (e.g., via analysis engine 200) can control, manage, and manipulate data obtained for the analysis.

[0057] Steps described in the figures represent both an execution of a computer algorithm and a method of implementing the system via the framework. According to some embodiments, steps 302-304 of process 300, which involve initializing the HVAC sizing process and collecting climate data, can be performed by the data acquisition module 202 of analysis engine 200.

[0058] Step 306, which involves segmenting and categorizing the data, can be performed by the data processing and filtering module 204.

[0059] Steps 308-310, which include performing data analysis and determining HVAC classification, can be performed by the analysis and classification module 206.

[0060] Steps 312-316, which involve establishing energy control parameters, outputting classification results, and controlling the HVAC system based on control parameters, can be performed by the control and output module 208.

[0061] It should be understood that while the discussion herein will be with reference to specific applications, it should not be construed as limiting, as any type of program, website, network resource, platform, or device (e.g., any of the UEs discussed above) can form the basis of the system without departing from the scope of the instant disclosure.

[0062] In step 302, the first smart device 110 initiates the transaction by identifying the second smart device 112 and specifying the service to be purchased and the number of data elements required.13ACTIVE 718898472v1Attorney Docket No. 203863-019701 / PCT Resideo Ref. No. R214521-WO Electronically Filed: February 8, 2026

[0063] In step 304, the first smart device 110 generates a transfer request (also referred to herein as an initiation) that is digitally signed using the private key associated with the first smart device 110, ensuring the authenticity of the transaction.

[0064] In step 306, the first smart device transmits the transfer request to the second smart device along with the relevant sendee details.

[0065] Upon receipt in step 308. the second smart device 112 validates the digital signature of the transfer request using the public key associated with the first smart device 110, verifying the authenticity of the request.

[0066] In step 310, the second smart device 112 cross-references the local transaction records associated with the first smart device 110 to ensure that sufficient data elements are available for the transaction.

[0067] If all validations are successful, step 312 includes the second smart device 112 updating its local record to reflect the receipt of data elements and adding the requested service to its active service list.

[0068] In step 314, the first smart device 110 deducts the specified number of data elements from its balance and logging the transaction in its local record.

[0069] In step 316, the second smart device 112 acknowledges the transaction, providing confirmation back to the first smart device.

[0070] In step 318, one or both smart devices periodically synchronize with a centralized record or cloud-based server 108 to reconcile transfer records, ensuring consistency and resolving any discrepancies that may have occurred during offline operation.

[0071] In a non-limiting example, UE 102 is a smartphone with a transfer engine configured to handle any operation described in relation to FIG. 3, inter alia. Initially, the smartphone connects to the internet while in an area with access to broadband communication (e.g., cellphone tower, Wi-Fi hotspot), and downloads a specified number of data elements into the smart phone's secure wallet. As described supra, these data elements are stored using encryption techniques to ensure security during offline operations. Once the data elements are downloaded, the user returns home and initiates a transaction with a smart thermostat, which is the first smart device 110 in this non-limiting example.

[0072] The smartphone identifies the smart thermostat on the local network, using communication protocols such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth®. The user selects an advanced monitoring service to be purchased for the thermostat on the thermostat interface, which in this example includes real-time analytics, temperature trend reports, and / or adaptive energy-saving14ACTIVE 718898472v1Attorney Docket No. 203863-019701 / PCT Resideo Ref. No. R214521-WO Electronically Filed: February 8, 2026 settings. The portion of the transfer engine 200 stored on the smart thermostat specifies the number of data elements required for the service based on the service's predetermined cost structure, which is also stored locally on the thermostat. A transfer request is initiated by the smartphone, which involves transferring data elements to the smart thermostat for a specific sen-ice. The smartphone then digitally signs the transfer request using its private key. The signed request is then transmitted to the smart thermostat over the local network 104.

[0073] The smart thermostat validates the request by verifying the smartphone's digital signature with the smart thermostat’s public key and ensures that the transfer details, including the service and data element amount, are accurate. The smart thermostat then cross-references the transfer details against the data elements stored in the smartphone's wallet to confirm the availability of the specified data elements. Once validated, the thermostat initiates a transfer of the specified number of data elements from the smartphone to the thermostat's record to complete the transfer. Following this transfer, the thermostat updates its local record to reflect the receipt of the data elements and activates the advanced monitoring service. The smartphone deducts the appropriate number of data elements from its balance and logs the transaction in its local record.

[0074] In some embodiments, additional coins are downloaded to the smart thermostat from the smartphone to pay for other services. In some embodiments, the smart thermostat record's information is downloaded to the smartphone. When there are multiple devices on the network, information from multiple (e.g.. all) device records may be downloaded to the smartphone. When internet connectivity is available to the smartphone, the framework updates a centralized record to reflect the data element balance on each smart device to ensure consistency across all devices and reconcile any offline transactions.

[0075] In a further non-limiting example, the user uses data elements stored on the thermostat (first device 110) to pay for services on another smart device in the local network, such as a security camera platform (second device 112). For instance, the user may wish to activate a premium surveillance feature on the security camera platform. This feature might include advanced motion detection and / or alert notification through the thermostat, which may also serve as the interface to perform the transaction. Without payment, which would normally be done over the internet, these premium features would remain restricted, with the camera platform operating only in a basic mode.

[0076] The thermostat, acting as the payment source, specifies the required number of data elements for the service based on the camera's preconfigured cost structure. Using local15ACTIVE 718898472v1Attorney Docket No. 203863-019701 / PCT Resideo Ref. No. R214521-WO Electronically Filed: February 8, 2026 network protocols, the smart thermostat transfers the necessary' data elements to the security camera's record. The security camera validates the transaction and activates the premium features upon receipt of the required data elements. Both devices log the transaction locally, and the information is synchronized with the centralized record when internet connectivity becomes available or the smart phone is reintroduced into the network to enable the transfer when the cellphone is reconnected to a broadband network.
