Abstract

A method for generating predicted survey participation data at a current user device. A server collects training behavioral data related to a website from a plurality of user devices. The server also collects training survey participation data related to the website from at least some of the plurality of user devices. The server analyzes the training survey participation data and the corresponding training behavioral data to infer correlations between the training survey participation data and the corresponding training behavioral data. The server further generates predictive survey participation patterns based on the inferred correlations. The server transmits the predictive survey participation patterns to the current user device. The current device collects current behavioral data related to the website. Then, the current user device determines predicted survey participation data for the current user device in relation to the website based on the current behavioral data and the predictive survey participation patterns.

Dependent claims

A method for generating predicted survey participation data at a current user device, comprising:

collecting by a processing unit of a server training behavioral data from a plurality of user devices, the training behavioral data being representative of a series of actions performed by a user of each of the plurality of user devices while visiting a specific website;
collecting by the processing unit of the server training survey participation data from at least some of the plurality of user devices, the training survey participation data corresponding to survey information received from the users of the at least some of the plurality of user devices when participating to a web survey related to the visit of the specific website;
analyzing by the processing unit of the server the training survey participation data and the corresponding training behavioral data to infer correlations between the training survey participation data and the corresponding training behavioral data;
generating by the processing unit of the server predictive survey participation patterns based on the inferred correlations;
transmitting the predictive survey participation patterns from the server to the current user device and storing the predictive survey participation patterns at a memory of the current user device;
collecting by a processing unit of the current user device current behavioral data, the current behavioral data being representative of a series of actions performed by a user of the current user device while visiting the specific website;
and
determining by the processing unit of the current user device predicted survey participation data for the current user device in relation to the specific website based on the current behavioral data and the predictive survey participation patterns.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer program product comprising instructions stored thereon, the instructions when executed by a processing unit of a user device providing for generating predicted survey participation data at the user device by:

receiving predictive survey participation patterns from a server and storing the predictive survey participation patterns at a memory of the user device, the predictive survey participation patterns being representative of correlations inferred by the server between training survey participation data related to a specific website and corresponding training behavioral data related to the specific website;
collecting by the processing unit of the user device current behavioral data, the current behavioral data being representative of a series of actions performed by a user of the user device while visiting the specific website;
and
determining by the processing unit of the user device predicted survey participation data for the user device in relation to the specific website based on the current behavioral data and the predictive survey participation patterns.

1 more element

A user device comprising:

a communication interface for receiving predictive survey participation patterns from a server, the predictive survey participation patterns being representative of correlations inferred by the server between training survey participation data related to a specific website and corresponding training behavioral data related to the specific website;
a memory for storing the predictive survey participation patterns;
and
a processing unit for:
collecting current behavioral data, the current behavioral data being representative of a series of actions performed by a user of the user device while visiting the specific website;
and
determining predicted survey participation data for the user device in relation to the specific website based on the current behavioral data and the predictive survey participation patterns.
