## Abstract

Mobile cloud and mobile cloud computing for a user-customized survey or election service system and method are provided. The mobile cloud and mobile cloud computing-based user-customized survey or election service provides an editor's metadata frame for creating user-customized survey or election service contents to information devices including user's smartphone from a service server and a metadata description frame database for generating the editor's metadata frame and storing the user's contents to the service server.

## Claims

### Claim 1 (depends on 1)

A system for providing a user-customized survey or election service based on a mobile cloud using wired or wireless networks, comprising:
a service server; and
a plurality of portable information devices including user's mobile phones,
wherein the service server further comprising:
a central processing unit (CPU);
a memory device; and
a database (DB) system,
wherein the plurality of portable information devices are equipped with hardware and software for processing information related to the user-customized survey or election service,
wherein an editor's metadata frame is provided on the plurality of portable information devices to input and generate user-customized survey or election service contents,
wherein the editor's metadata frame is created with the steps comprising:
designing metadata and metadata items required for the user-customized survey or election service and a metadata frame indicating a relationship between the metadata and the metadata items;
generating the metadata frame composed of the metadata and metadata itmes into a metadata description frame database using a metadata frame description method;
wherein the metadata description frame method for generating the metadata frame composed of the metadata and metadata items into the metadata description frame database uses at least one of the description method among 1) a description method by a Resource Description Framework (RDF), 2) an eXtensible Hyper Text Markup Language (XHTML) or XML (eXtensible Markup Language) description method, 3) a database data model description method, and 4) a spreadsheet description method,
extracting the metadata and the metadata items to be included in the editor's metadata frame of the user customized survey or election service contents from the metadata description frame database using database query language;
creating the editor's metadata frame, a user interface with a programmed table type in order for the user's actual data for the extracted metadata and metadata items are entered; and
presenting the created editor's metadata frame to the plurality of portable information devices,
wherein the editor's metadata frame is configured to be used to input the user's actual data into each of data items in the editor's metadata frame displayed on the plurality of portable information devices to generate the user-customized survey or election contents,
wherein the editor's metadata frame is provided on the plurality of portable information devices by the service server simultaneously, and
wherein the editor's metadata frame inputs, attaches, or edits text or photo content to be included in the user-customized survey or election contents. The system according to claim 1, wherein the editor's metadata frame is programmed to be produced as a web page suitable for screens on the plurality of portable information devices using HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) programs.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the user-customized survey or election service is a mobile cloud app, or a mobile web app-based or native app service.

### Claim 4

A method for providing a user-customized survey or election service based on a mobile cloud using wired or wireless networks with a system, the system comprising:
a service server; and
a plurality of portable information devices including user's mobile phones,

a central processing unit (CPU);
a memory device; and
a database (DB) system,
wherein the plurality of portable information devices are equipped with hardware and software for processing information related to the user-customized survey or election service,
wherein an editor's metadata frame is provided on the plurality of portable information devices to input and generate user-customized survey or election service contents,
wherein the editor's metadata frame is created with the steps comprising:
designing metadata and metadata items required for the user-customized survey or election service and a metadata frame indicating a relationship between the metadata and the metadata items;
generating the metadata frame composed of the metadata and metadata itmes into a metadata description frame database using a metadata frame description method;
wherein the metadata. description frame method for generating the metadata frame composed of the metadata and metadata items into the metadata description frame database uses at least one of the description method among 1) a description method by a Resource Description Framework (RDF), 2) an eXtensible Hyper Text Markup Language (XHTML) or XML (eXtensible Markup Language) description method, 3) a database data mod& description method, and 4) a spreadsheet description method,
extracting the metadata and the metadata items to be included in the editor's metadata frame of the user customized survey or election service contents from the metadata description frame database using database query language;
creating the editor's metadata frame, a user interface with a programmed table type in order for the user's actual data for the extracted metadata and metadata items are entered; and
presenting the created editor's metadata frame to the plurality of portable information devices,
wherein the editor's metadata frame is configured to be used to input the user's actual data into each of data items in the editor's metadata frame displayed on the plurality of portable information devices to generate the user-customized survey or election contents,
wherein the editor's metadata frame is provided on the plurality of portable information devices by the service server simultaneously, and
wherein the editor's metadata frame inputs, attaches, or edits text or photo content to included in the user-customized survey or election contents.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the editor's metadata frame is programmed to be produced as a web page suitable for screens on the plurality of portable information devices using HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) programs.
