Claim Text:
1. A method of providing social impact information of goods and services providers that are consistent with a predetermined social impact profile, the method comprising: generating a predetermined social impact profile based on input from a user regarding the user's self-defined social impact values; capturing, continuously, a real-time video stream of a surrounding environment using a video capture device associated with a mobile device of the user, wherein the real-time video stream comprises images of one or more goods or service providers; identifying, via a processor, one or more goods or service providers proximate in location to the mobile device, based on analyzing the captured real-time video stream for one or more identifying markers associated with the one or more goods or service providers; determining, via the processor, which goods or service providers proximate in location to the mobile device are consistent with the predetermined social impact profile; presenting, via a display device, one or more indicators within a presentation of the real-time video stream of the surrounding environment, each indicator of the one or more indicators being associated with a good or service provider proximate in location to the mobile device determined to be consistent with the predetermined social impact profile, the indicator comprising a virtual image superimposed on the image of the good or service provider presented in the real-time video stream; presenting, via the display device, a checking account statement of the user of the mobile device; determining, via the processor, which of one or more transactions conducted between the user and the one or more identified goods or service providers are consistent with the predetermined social impact profile; highlighting, via the display device, the determined one or more transactions conducted between the user and the one or more identified goods or service providers that are consistent with the predetermined social impact profile in the checking account statement; generating, via the processor, a social impact score of the user based on the determined one or more transactions conducted between the user and the one or more identified goods or service providers that are consistent with the predetermined social impact profile and based in part on one or more transactions that are inconsistent with the predetermined social impact profile; determining, via the processor, which of the determined transactions were used to generate the social impact score, resulting in a first set of transactions; determining, via the processor, which of the transactions that are inconsistent with the predetermined social impact profile were used to generate the social impact score, resulting in a second set of transactions, wherein the first set of transactions and the second set of transactions together make up a third set of transactions; identifying, via the processor, any purchases associated with any of the third set of transactions; presenting, via the display device to the user, the identified purchases, wherein the user may use the identified purchases to adjust the user's behavior to move the determined social impact score in a direction consistent with the user's self-defined social impact values; transmitting, via the processor, the generated social impact score of the user to one or more social network accounts; determining that the mobile device is associated with at least one trigger event, wherein the trigger event comprises: (i) the mobile device being exposed to predetermined low levels of illumination for a first predetermined extended period of time, (ii) the mobile device being stationary for a second predetermined extended period of time or (iii) a power source of the mobile device being associated with predetermined low power levels; disengaging the continuous capture of the real-time video stream of the surrounding environment, based on the at least one trigger event; and re-engaging, automatically, the continuous capture of the real-time video stream of the surrounding environment, based on determining that the mobile device is not associated with the at least one trigger event.
