Method and system for generating a data collection process in a user device

A computer implemented method for initiating a data collection process for a user device, the method comprising:

• by a user device, connecting to a portal server hosting a portal website comprising at least one link to a service provider;
• by the user device, selecting a service provider on the portal website;
• receiving, at a third-party server having at least one processor, an instruction to begin a data collection process for a user operating the user device and providing code for generating a data collection module to the user device;
• by the user device, opening a hidden background-frame of a selected service provider;
• by the user device, opening a data collection frame visible to the user;
• by the user device, generating a first data collection module;
• presenting the first data collection module in the data collection frame;
• and
• for information provided by the user to the first data collection module, communicating the provided information from the data collection-frame to the background frame.

A system for generating a data collection process in a user device, the system comprising:

• a third-party server having at least one processor;
• a user device having at least one processor;
• a portal server having at least one processor, the portal server hosting a portal website comprising at least one link to a service provider;
• and
• a service provider server having at least one processor;
• the system being configured to:
• by the user operated user device, selecting a service provider on the portal website;
• by the service provider server of the selected service provider, send an instruction to begin a data collection process for the user device to the third-party server;
• provide static data from the user device to the third-party server;
• by the third-party server, initiate a data collection sequence generator upon receipt of the instruction to begin a data collection process from the third party-server;
• by the third-party server, determine a set of data set to be collected from the user;
• by the third-party server, generate code for a first data collection module based on the static data and on the set of data to be collected from the user, the first data collection module being configured to collect at least one data item from the set of data to be collected from the user;
• by the third-party server, provide the code for generating the first data collection module to the user device;
• by the user device, generating the first data collection module and prompting the user to provide information by interacting with the data collection module;
• by the user device, provide the information acquired by the first data collection module to the service provider server;
• by the third-party server, receive confirmation that a user of the user device has provided the information required by the first data collection module to the service provider server;
• and
• by the third-party server, determine, based on the received confirmation, if the user has provided the set of data to be collected from the user to the service provider server.
