Patent number: 8909587Abstract: The disclosure is directed to systems and methods for estimating the completion time of a web-based survey. The estimated completion time can be determined based on survey parameters associated with the web-based survey. The survey parameters can be based on characteristic values of the web-based survey associated with the survey parameters. The characteristic values of survey parameters can be used to estimate parameter completion times, from which an estimated survey completion time for the web-based survey may be determined. The disclosed systems and methods further permit assessments of survey feasibility.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2011Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Toluna USA, Inc.Inventors: Royi Alush, Dvir Babila, Shimon Golan, Frank Smadja, Tomer Weingarten

Patent number: 8843428Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to prioritizing web-based survey based on a priority score associated with the survey. The priority score can be determined based on priority values that are determined for priority parameters associated with the survey. The priority values can be determined for priority parameters based on characteristic values of the web-based survey that are associated with the priority parameters. The priority score can establish a priority of the web-based survey relative to other web-based surveys.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Toluna USA, Inc.Inventors: Shimon Golan, Frank Smadja

Publication number: 20130185122Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to determining an availability of an actual good and/or service based on activity of or with respect to a virtual icon on one or more webpages. The virtual icon can represent the actual good and/or service. The activity of or with respect to the virtual icon on the webpage(s) can be monitored and a determination of whether a conversion criteria has been satisfied can be made based on the monitored activity. The availability of the actual good or service can be based on satisfaction of the conversion criteria. In an alternative exemplary embodiment, a method of determining an availability of an actual good and/or service is provided based on a value of or with respect to a virtual icon on one or more webpages. The value of or with respect to the virtual icon on the webpage(s) can be compared to a value criteria to determine whether a value criteria has been satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2012Publication date: July 18, 2013Applicant: TOLUNA USA, INC.Inventors: Frank Smadja, Royi Alush, Dvir Babila, Shimon Golan, Frederic Charles Petit, Tomer Weingarten
