  • System and method for conducting surveys on devices without requiring persistent network connectivity
    Patent number: 8977678
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for conducting surveys of panelists via mobile devices without requiring persistent network connectivity with the mobile devices. A survey application is downloaded to a user's processor-based device, and executes locally on the device. A survey definition file is generated that specifies various information defining a given survey, such as specific questions to be asked, etc. The survey definition file is downloaded to the user's device. Once downloaded to the user's processor-based device, the survey definition file is interpreted by the survey application executing on the user's processor-based device in order to present a user interface on the user's processor-based device with which a user can interact to take the survey, as defined by the downloaded survey definition file. The survey definition file may be generated by a tool as a result of processing a predefined survey definition file.
