Abstract: The present system uses dynamic assignment of key codes to select options of response content in request messages prior to transmission from an application server to a communication device. Dynamic assignment of key codes to selection options can occur according to a list of key codes having a predefined order also known as a predefined key code series. A key code series could be ordered according to ergonomic considerations or other considerations such as according to an alphabetic or numeric ordering. Communication occurs between one or more server applications running on an application server and a particular communication device, such as a cell phone. Dynamic key code assignment addresses problems raised when one communication device is concurrently carrying on more than one session with one or more server applications since the communication device identifier, such as a phone number, will be the same for all sessions.

Abstract: A system and method for creating, designing, and deploying World Wide Web-based surveys in a host machine using a standard web browser without requiring the need of a survey creation program at the survey designer's computer. Survey results are viewable in real time. Survey creation is accomplished from a web browser user interface that allows web content objects stored in a database to be selected, customized, positioned, resized and edited. The web content objects include a plurality of elements selectable for constructing a survey within a survey creation engine. The web content objects further include a plurality of survey templates, e-mail invitation templates, survey question and answer types, page design features, multimedia objects, and general purpose objects. Objects from outside the remote database can also be imported for inclusion in the survey.

Abstract: A method of filtering fraudulent responses from survey data including responses to survey questions received from survey takers and a response time for each response. For each question, any responses to the question having a response time less than a minimum time required to provide a thoughtful response are filtered from the survey data. Optionally, for each survey taker, a number of responses filtered from the survey data is determined. If this number exceeds a threshold, all responses provided by the survey taker are filtered from the survey data. The method may determine whether responses provided by each survey taker to attributes of a matrix question include a pattern. If a survey taker's responses include the pattern and were provided in less than the minimum time required to provide a thoughtful response to the matrix question, all responses provided by the survey taker are filtered from the survey data.

Abstract: A system and method for creating a sample pool for a web-based survey including at least one host machine for serving an HTML document, a survey manager machine connected to each of the host machines, and a least one executable tag embeddable in the HTML document, the executable tag being operable to communicate with a process running on the survey manager machine to create the sample pool when a user accesses the HTML document.

Abstract: A survey network system that allows gathering of information across a network quickly and efficiently, including a questionnaire server, a communication interface, a questionnaire distributor, a questionnaire designer and a questionnaire library.
