“Savvy” encourages people to be conscious of their energy usage when using any type of land-based vehicle. The device’s main screen or 'home' is a display of a small forest and a title indicating its status. It automatically takes information about the vehicle from the internet through a wireless connection and calculates the status of your energy consumption, the more you conserve the better the status. The device monitors all the factors that contribute to the energy consumption of the vehicle.
The technology involved consists of a built in computer that can determine the cars performance and access the wireless internet to automatically retrieve information. These technologies will allow low user input and an easy to use display that is aesthetically pleasing and enticing. Over all making the device affordable and attractive to a large consumer group.
The device is aimed at anyone who uses land-based vehicles from large companies to personal use in order to encourage as many people as possible to conserve energy. It will meet the needs of this consumer group by allowing individual preference for the display, and the information from the device will be easily accessible as it can be viewed on your computer, t.v., or cell phone through a wireless connection. This wireless connection can also determine if you take public transport, which aids the status of your forest. As an added incentive rewards are given to those who put a particular effort into conserving energy, like fuel vouchers. Also children are encouraged to interact with the device as well, they can use information from their parents devices to enter competitions at school, a similar thing will apply for businesses too.
