Invention, intellectual property and income

This week assignment is " to define a dissemination plan for my project"

my project goal

The major goal of this project is to create a system of feedback simulation and feedback of actual development. (Ecosystem simulation is not included in this scope)

To do so, we need the following two.
1. Increase the number of people who actually make mini-biosphere and form a community.
2. Collect data on the mini-biosphere setting (such as what kind of living thing, how much temperature, what kind of temperature) and the subsequent course of data.

Ideally I would like to deploy logging services.

how to dissemination

In order to collect data, it is necessary to expand hardware first. To do so, take the following measures

license

I will publish way of making. Because I want that many people make and improve mybiosphere. I chose CC Attribution - NonCommercial - ShareAlike 4.0 International license. Other options include MIT license and Creative Commons' Attribution - ShareAlike 4.0 International license. However neither can limit the commercial use of others. As I will describe below, I would like to do business to maintain the project. Because I'm afraid that my business will be hindered when I do the same business, I chose this license because I want to restrict the commercial use of others.

I will put the program and design data on the github. These are intended for makers and geeks, and I'd be happy if you try to improve on hardships and programs.

クリエイティブ・コモンズ・ライセンス

bussiness

Sell a set of sensors. This is a sensor kit that attaches to your own aquarium, terrarium etc etc, and it targets people with those hobbies.

Sell the kit. Especially in Japan there is a culture of free research, elementary school students observe animals and plants, experiments etc as summer vacation homework. Sell a simplified version as a kit for it.

Publish data. If universities and companies use data, I would like to pay a fee. But for now it is unclear whether some people need such data.

Publicity

Exhibited at Maker fair and living things-liked events.

I would like to create a logging service that allows users to contribute to SNS by themselves, so that users can increase the number of users.
