One exemplary aspect concerns a system that includes a communications circuit, logic circuitry and an interface circuit working together to aggregate and provide feedback on indications of ongoing use of various assets such as in use in and around a residence. For each asset, the communications circuit and logic circuitry are used to receive and aggregate ongoing-use indications, access a profile indicating an asset-related lifecycle, and in response execute an algorithm to adjust a valuation score of the asset. The interface circuit may report on the ongoing use of said at least one of the plurality of disparate assets. In a more specific example, the valuation score is associated with one or more environmental-related components that appreciate and/or depreciate with ongoing use of the asset over portions of the lifecycle, and the assets may be residence-related such as including solar panels, IoTs, battery-assisted vehicles, and HVAC appliances.

Autonomous tracking of disparate assets

An ambient transaction system is described for facilitating various transactions types between a management system and a connected device over a transaction platform. Based on a variety of different triggering conditions, the transaction platform may establish an integrated session among the transaction platform, the management system, and the connected device. The transaction platform includes integrated logic of the management system such that a presentment layer provided to the connected device by the transaction platform via the integrated session includes features of the management system associated with the transaction type. When the transaction is a payment transaction, the features may include a payment feature through which checkout options may be selected for payment via the connected device. Upon receiving a payment selection from the connected device, the transaction platform may transmit the payment information to a payment processing system, and provide payment confirmation to at least the management system.

Ambient transaction system

An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an EMV certification system including a credit card simulator configured to program a probe with credit card data, a point of sale simulator configured to send transaction data to a payment terminal, a robotic arm configured to perform an action on the payment terminal, and a robot controller communicatively coupled to the robotic arm. The robot controller is configured to instruct the robotic arm to perform the action. The EMV certification system further includes a test coordinator communicatively coupled to the credit card simulator, the point of sale simulator, and the robot controller. The test coordinator is configured to request the robot controller instruct the robotic arm based on reading a response from the payment terminal.
