for the First time the company has applied to the Bureau of patents and trademarks United States in December of 2017, but later withdrew it for revision. In the updated version of the document refers to a system that will allow companies and households to create a network of devices that consume electricity.
Before using the service the customer credits on the wallet in the system a certain amount of tokens. Then each device gets a few coins which you can use to pay the electricity provider.
Each token is a unit of energy. If one of the devices exceeds the consumption limit, and spent all the balance, the other automatically "share" them with coins — thus, it is guaranteed the system will continue to function.
