Abstract

Various embodiments are directed to apparatuses, methods, computer readable media, computer program products, and systems related to mitigating resource usage. In some embodiments, the system may comprise one or more device management servers and a mobile device. The mobile device may generate at least device triage data. The one or more device management servers may receive a use phase termination indication associated with the mobile device and the device triage data; retrieve a disposition rule set associated with the mobile device; generate, using a model and based on the device triage data, the disposition rule set, or second device triage data, predicted future resource usage data associated with the mobile device; generate, based on the predicted future resource usage data, a resource usage mitigation data object for the mobile device; and cause resource usage mitigation for the mobile device based on the resource usage mitigation data object.

First claim

That which is claimed:

1 . A system for carbon usage mitigation, the system comprising:
one or more device management servers and a first mobile device, the first mobile device comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory comprising computer program code, the at least one non-transitory memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the first mobile device to:
execute one or more diagnostic functions on the first mobile device to generate at least device triage data based on a result of the one or more diagnostic functions; and
transmit the device triage data, directly or indirectly to the one or more device management servers;
the one or more device management servers comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory comprising computer program code, the at least one non-transitory memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the one or more device management servers to:
transmit computer-executable instructions to cause an apparatus comprising at least one camera to capture one or more images of the first mobile device,
predict, by inputting the device triage data and image data corresponding to the one or more images of the first mobile device into a mobile device resource usage model, predicted future carbon usage data associated with the first mobile device for a future time period, wherein the mobile device resource usage model is configured to generate the predicted future carbon usage data based on the device triage data and the one or more images of the first mobile device;
generate, based on the predicted future carbon usage data, a resource usage mitigation data object for the first mobile device; and
in response to a user selection via an interface, transmit computer-executable instructions configured to cause carbon usage mitigation for the first mobile device based on the resource usage mitigation data object.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the computer-executable instructions configured to cause the carbon usage mitigation for the first mobile device based on the resource usage mitigation data object comprises transmitting computer-executable instructions configured to offset the predicted future carbon usage data with carbon usage deficit associated with a third-party system.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein generating the resource usage mitigation data object comprises converting the predicted future carbon usage data into a predicted token equivalent, and wherein transmitting the computer-executable instructions to offset the predicted future carbon usage data with the carbon usage deficit associated with the third-party system comprises retrieving the predicted token equivalent.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more device management servers is configured to transmit computer-executable instructions to cause the first mobile device to execute the one or more diagnostic functions on the first mobile device to generate the device triage data.

5 . One or more device management servers for carbon usage mitigation, the one or more device management servers comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory comprising computer program code, the at least one non-transitory memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the one or more device management servers to:
receive device triage data associated with a first mobile device; transmit computer-executable instructions to cause an apparatus comprising at least one camera to capture one or more images of the first mobile device, predict, by inputting the device triage data and image data corresponding to the one or more images of the first mobile device into a mobile device resource usage model, predicted future carbon usage data associated with the first mobile device for a future time period, wherein the mobile device resource usage model is configured to generate the predicted future carbon usage data based on the device triage data and the one or more images of the first mobile device; generate, based on the predicted future carbon usage data, a resource usage mitigation data object for the first mobile device; and in response to a user selection via an interface, transmit computer-executable instructions configured to cause carbon usage mitigation for the first mobile device based on the resource usage mitigation data object.

6 . The one or more device management servers of claim 5 , wherein transmit the computer-executable instructions configured to cause the carbon usage mitigation for the first mobile device comprises transmitting computer-executable instructions to offset the predicted future carbon usage data with carbon usage deficit associated with a third-party system.

7 . The one or more device management servers of claim 6 , wherein generate the resource usage mitigation data object comprises converting the predicted future carbon usage data into a predicted token equivalent, and wherein transmit the computer-executable instructions to offset the predicted future carbon usage data with the carbon usage deficit associated with the third-party system comprises acquiring the predicted token equivalent.

8 . The one or more device management servers of claim 5 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, further cause the one or more device management servers to:
diagnose a defect associated with the first mobile device based on the device triage data; programmatically determine a solution from a plurality of solutions for resolving the defect, determine, by the mobile device resource usage model, predicted carbon usage data associated with the solution, and adjust the predicted future carbon usage data based on the predicted carbon usage data associated with the solution.

9 . The one or more device management servers of claim 5 , wherein the device triage data comprises one or more of defect data, operational status data, or device image data.

10 . The one or more device management servers of claim 5 , wherein generate the predicted future carbon usage data comprises:
processing the one or more images to generate a utility measure for the first mobile device based at least in part on a condition of a screen of the first mobile device; and responsive to triggering a replacement of the screen, generating predicted carbon usage data associated with the replacement of the screen, wherein the predicted future carbon usage data for the first mobile device comprises the predicted carbon usage data associated with the replacement of the screen.

11 . The one or more device management servers of claim 5 , wherein transmit the computer-executable instructions configured to cause carbon usage mitigation for the first mobile device comprises transmitting computer-executable instructions to cause the first mobile device and a second mobile device to be associated with different user accounts.

12 . The one or more device management servers of claim 5 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, further cause the one or more device management servers to:
generate aggregated predicted future carbon usage data associated with a plurality of mobile devices over a previous time period; generate, using one or more machine learning models and based on the aggregated predicted future carbon usage data, predicted carbon usage associated with the future time period; and transmit comp
