  • Patent number: 7370032
    Abstract: A method for gathering data may include receiving query information in a first format related to a query, identifying a format-independent portion of the query information and a format-dependent portion of the query information, and translating the format-dependent portion of the query data for rendition in a second format. A computer program product may include instructions to cause a processor to identify a first platform that a responder intends to use to respond to a first query in a data gathering tool, format the first query for rendition at the first platform, identify a second platform that the responder intends to use to respond to a second query in the data gathering tool, and format the second query for rendition at the second platform. The computer program product may be tangibly stored on machine readable media.

  • Publication number: 20030204437
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for processing and qualifying multiple data sets supplied by one or more information sources. In certain illustrative embodiments, the invention can be advantageously employed to qualify or classify survey data and, more particularly, generate and categorize leads according to one or more attributes of interest to the data gatherer, such as time sensitiveness. In still other embodiments, a system automatically generates qualified lead profiles based upon responses to an electronic survey.

  • Publication number: 20030204498
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of filling out an electronic data gathering form is described. The method includes presenting, during a first session of filling out the data gathering form, a series of queries to a user. Voice responses to the presented queries are received from the user during the first session. During a later second session of filling out the data gathering form, the electronic data gathering form is presented on a visual display with responses completed using the voice responses from the user.
