Abstract
A method of administering a survey to an askee, the survey relating to a plurality of events, the method comprising automatically performing steps using a server.
Claims20
A method of administering a survey to an askee, the survey relating to a plurality of events, the method comprising automatically performing the following steps using a server:
- a) receiving a request for survey question(s) via a network, the request including askee identification data;
- b) retrieving progress data from a storage device indicating an event of the plurality of events corresponding to the askee identification data;
- c) retrieving the survey question(s) corresponding to the indicated event from the storage device;
- d) transmitting the retrieved survey question(s) via the network in response to the received request;
- e) receiving a response to the transmitted survey question(s);
- f) storing the received response in association with the askee identification data and the indicated event in the storage device;
- g) modifying the progress data in the storage device so that the indicated event no longer corresponds to the askee identification data;
- and
- h) repeating the above steps, wherein the retrieved survey question(s) corresponding to the indicated event after the modifying-progress-data step are different from the retrieved survey question(s) corresponding to the indicated event before the modifying-progress-data step.

A method of conducting a survey of an askee, the survey relating to a plurality of events, the method comprising automatically performing the following steps using a processor:
- a) receiving data of a first event criterion from a server and storing the data of the first event criterion in a memory;
- b) receiving data from a monitoring subsystem;
- c) using the processor, automatically determining whether the data satisfy the first event criterion and, if so:
- i) presenting a first survey question corresponding to the askee via an output device;
- ii) receiving a response to the first survey question via an input device;
- iii) transmitting the response to the server;
- and
- iv) repeating the above steps, wherein data of a second event criterion are received and used in place of the first event criterion, and a second, different survey question corresponding to the askee is used in place of the first survey question.
5 more elements
A data processing system, comprising:
- a) a storage device configured to store data of an event criterion;
- b) monitoring subsystem configured to provide monitoring data of a type specified in the event criterion;
- and
- c) a processor coupled to the monitoring subsystem and configured to automatically determine whether the monitoring data satisfy the event criterion indicated by the stored data and, if so, to:
- i) present a first survey question corresponding to the askee via an electronic display;
- ii) receive a response to the first survey question from a askee via an input device;
- iii) transmit the response via a network;
- iv) receive data of a second event criterion different from the event criterion via the network;
- and
- v) store the data of the second event criterion in place of the data of the first event criterion.
