BACKGROUNDBACKGROUNDBACKGROUNDBACKGROUNDBACKGROUNDBACKGROUNDBACKGROUNDBACKGROUND
[0001] Impact resource management involves technical analysis of utilization of resources in consideration with social and environmental factors to seek good returns while at the same time contributing to a 5 greater good. The technical analysis addresses the needs of entities in determining how utilization of resources may impact a particular issue of interest to them or affect society as a whole. Conventionally, a one-is-one match making is done by intermediaries and/or by the entities themselves manually or by a partial technical search between different entities, and 10 further based on some pre-fixed criteria, determine the resources available for offer by the one or more entities.
[0002] However, conventional systems are unable to optimize impact resources for better execution of activities leading to a greater social 15 impact. The conventional systems facilitates a one on one relationship between different entities which affects the impact of resources. The conventional systems are unable to generate offer options which can be utilized by interested entities. Further, the conventional system fails to determine offers having high needs of interested entities, thereby leading 20 to inefficiency and non-optimization of impact resources. Furthermore, many a times due to inefficient optimization of impact resources, the conventional systems fail to map entities to available resources which leads to inconvenience to the entities and vice-versa. There is an added impact on scale apart from efficiency as the manual and/or partially 25 technology solutions are unable to scale up the operations in an efficient manner. The conventional systems have a limited ability to provide a one stop solution for all needs of different entities. The conventional systems
3
are unable to integrate or form a collaboration between the various one on one relationships for a larger sustained impact.
[0003] Therefore, there is a need to alleviate the drawbacks associated with conventional system for optimizing social impact resources. 5

7
a camera, a smart phone, an enhanced general packet radio service (EGPRS) mobile phone, a media player, a navigation device, an email device, a game console, or an appropriate combination of any two or more of these devices or other data processing devices. In an embodiment, the computing devices 102, 104 enable respective users 120, 122 to interact 5 with the server system 112. In an exemplary embodiment, each of the computing devices 102, 104 may include smartphones that enables the users 120, 122 to offer resources to one or more entities. Further, each of the computing devices 102, 104 may enable the users 120, 122 to consume the resources provided by one or more entities via the server 10 system 112. In an embodiment, the users (120, 122) are one or more asset providing entities. In another embodiment, the users (120, 122) are one or more service provider entities. In one more embodiment, the users (120, 122) are one or more of a need provider entity. In one more embodiment, the users (120, 122) are one or more of beneficiary entity. 15 In some examples, the users 120, 122 can be in different locales. For example, the users 120, 122 can be in different countries, or different states/provinces/regions within the same country.
[0017] In one embodiment, the server system 112 may enable one or 20 more entities to offer the resources without implementing the use of computing devices 102, 104. In one embodiment, the entities may interact with the server system 112 directly without implementing the use of computing devices 102, 104.
25
[0018] FIG. 2 depicts an architecture 200 of the server system 112. The server system 112 may include a receiving unit 202, a processing circuitry 204, a unitization engine 206, and a memory 208.
8
[0019] In an embodiment, the receiving unit 202 may include one or more modules that provide a front-end, through which users can interact with the server system 112. In an exemplary embodiment, the receiving unit 202 may interface with a user interface such as a web portal (e.g., graphical user interface (GUI)) and bulk upload interface, through which a 5 user can submit their requirements into the server system 112. In an exemplary embodiment, the user may upload requirements in bulk through pre-defined templates (e.g., MS Excel templates). In another exemplary embodiment, the user may be able to approve checkpoints. In one embodiment, the receiving unit 202 may enable one or more entities 10 to provide requests for services available for consumption or usage. In another embodiment, the receiving unit 202 may also receive request from one or more service provider entities arranged to provide services. In one embodiment, the receiving unit 202 may enable the one or more asset providing entities to provide information about assets available with the 15 one or more asset providing entities.
[0020] In one embodiment, the processing circuitry 204 may process the requests received by the receiving unit 202. The processing circuitry 204 may process the requests to determine the resources available to be 20 offered by the one or more entities. The processing circuitry 204 correlates the requests with a predefined data to determine resources which are available for offer by the entities. In an embodiment, the processing circuitry 204 may correlate the requests received from the one or more asset providing entities to determine the assets available for offer 25 by the one or more asset providing entities. In another embodiment, the processing circuitry 204 may process the requests received by the receiving unit 202 from one or more service provider entities being arranged to provide services. The processing circuitry 204 may determine
9
the services provided by the one or more service provider entities based on the received requests. The processing circuitry 204 may determine whether the determined services qualify a predetermined criteria. The services which qualify a predetermined criteria are hosted by the server system 112 for consumption by one or more entities other than the service 5 provider entities. In an embodiment, the predetermined criteria corresponds to needs fulfilled by the services provided by the one or more service provider entities. In an embodiment, the needs may be generated by one or more need provider entities. The need provider entities may specify needs which are to be fulfilled by the service provider entities. In 10 an embodiment, the one or more need provider entities may generate needs based on requirements of one or more beneficiary entities. The one or more beneficiary entities are benefitted when the service provider entities provides services to fulfill the needs and the asset providing entities offer the resources for utilization. In an embodiment, the services 15 hosted by the server system 112 may be prioritized based on the requirements of the one or more beneficiary entities. In an embodiment, the resources offered by the one or more entities may refer to but not limited to assets available with the asset providing entities, services provided by the service provider entities, needs generated by the need 20 provider entities, or requirements provided by the beneficiary entities.
[0021] The processing circuitry 204 may be interfaced with the unitization engine 206 through a bus 210. The unitization engine 206 unitizes the resources available for offer by classifying the available 25 resources into sub-resource units. The united sub-resource units are displayed on a display unit. In an embodiment, the assets relates to but not limited to monetary assets, monetary sources, funds and other such financial sources.

[0023] Implementations and all of the functional operations described in this specification may be realized in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer software, firmware, or hardware, including the structures disclosed in this specification and their structural equivalents, or in 10 combinations of one or more of them. Implementations may be realized as one or more computer program products, i.e., one or more modules of computer program instructions encoded on a computer readable medium for execution by, or to control the operation of, data processing apparatus. The computer readable medium may be a machine-readable storage 15 device, a machine-readable storage substrate, a memory device, a composition of matter effecting a machine-readable propagated signal, or a combination of one or more of them. The term “computing system” encompasses all apparatus, devices, and machines for processing data, including by way of example a programmable processor, a computer, or 20 multiple processors or computers. The apparatus may include, in addition to hardware, code that creates an execution environment for the computer program in question, e.g., code that constitutes processor firmware, a protocol stack, a database management system, an operating system, or a combination of one or more of them. A propagated signal is 25 an artificially generated signal, e.g., a machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signal that is generated to encode information for transmission to suitable receiver apparatus.
11
[0024] The processes and logic flows described in this specification may be performed by one or more programmable processors executing one or more computer programs to perform functions by operating on input data and generating output. The processes and logic flows may also be performed by, and apparatus may also be implemented as, special 5 purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit).
[0025] The processing circuitry 204 may include processors, both general and special purpose microprocessors, and any one or more processors of 10 any appropriate kind of digital computer. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a memory (208), such as a read only memory or a random access memory or both. Elements of a computer can include a processor for performing instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computer 15 will also include, or be operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto optical disks, or optical disks. However, a computer need not have such devices. Moreover, a computer may be embedded in another device, e.g., a mobile telephone, a personal digital assistant 20 (PDA), a mobile audio player, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, to name just a few. Computer readable media suitable for storing computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, media and memory devices, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory 25 devices; magnetic disks, e.g., internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto optical disks; and CD ROM and DVD-ROM disks. The processor and the memory may be supplemented by, or incorporated in, special purpose logic circuitry.
12
[0026] To provide for interaction with a user, implementations may be realized on a computer having a display unit, e.g., a CRT (cathode ray tube) or LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor, for displaying information to the user and a keyboard and a pointing device, e.g., a mouse or a 5 trackball, by which the user may provide input to the computer. Other kinds of devices may be used to provide for interaction with a user as well; for example, feedback provided to the user may be any appropriate form of sensory feedback, e.g., visual feedback, auditory feedback, or tactile feedback; and input from the user may be received in any 10 appropriate form, including acoustic, speech, or tactile input.
[0027] Implementations may be realized in a computing system that includes a back end component, e.g., as a data server, or that includes a middleware component, e.g., an application server, or that includes a front 15 end component, e.g., a client computer having a graphical user interface or a Web browser through which a user may interact with an implementation, or any appropriate combination of one or more such back end, middleware, or front end components. The components of the system may be interconnected by any appropriate form or medium of 20 digital data communication (e.g., a communication network). Examples of communication networks include a local area network (“LAN”) and a wide area network (“WAN”), e.g., the Internet. In an exemplary embodiment, the components of the system may also be implemented through one or more of cloud computing, Internet of things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence 25 (AI), Block Chain, and the like.
[0028] While this specification contains many specifics, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the disclosure or of what may
13
be claimed, but rather as descriptions of features specific to particular implementations. Certain features that are described in this specification in the context of separate implementations may also be implemented in combination in a single implementation. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single implementation may also be 5 implemented in multiple implementations separately or in any suitable sub-combination. Moreover, although features may be described above as acting in certain combinations and even initially claimed as such, one or more features from a claimed combination may in some cases be excised from the combination, and the claimed combination may be directed to a 10 sub-combination or variation of a sub-combination.
[0029] Similarly, while operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential 15 order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the implementations described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all implementations, and it 20 should be understood that the described program components and systems may generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products.
[0030] The various embodiments described above can be combined to 25 provide further embodiments. Aspects of the embodiments can be modified, if necessary to employ concepts of the various patents, applications and publications to provide yet further embodiments. These and other changes can be made to the embodiments in light of the above-
