Patent number: 11935079Abstract: This disclosure covers systems and methods that administer a digital survey to respondents who interact with a biometric sensor to collect and convert biometric data into behavioral and physical characteristics of the respondents. In certain embodiments, by converting biometric data into respondent characteristics, the disclosed systems and methods identify various unwritten or nonverbal responses of survey respondents who respond to a digital survey or who interact with a display medium that captures survey data. To facilitate review of respondents' characteristics and responses, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods further categorize the converted respondent characteristics within a response database for the digital survey.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Qualtrics, LLCInventor: Larry Dean Cheesman

Patent number: 11301877Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to administration of an electronic survey to collect perception ratings for an event. For example, an electronic survey system provides a perception survey question to a respondent client device for an event (e.g., a digital media event or a live user experience). As a user associated with the respondent client device experiences the event, the user indicates a perception rating over time for the event by interacting with a graphical input element corresponding to the perception survey question. The survey system collects perception data points indicating the perception rating of the user and associates information about the user with the perception data points. The survey system can generate response data for the perception survey question based on the perception data points. The survey system can also generate a perception data report using the user profile information.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Qualtrics, LLCInventors: Larry Dean Cheesman, Milind Kopikare

Patent number: 11017416Abstract: In one or more embodiments, systems and methods allow a user to easily create an electronic survey by simply including a survey system as a party in a communication (e.g., an email address associated with a survey system being included in a meeting invite). In addition, the systems and methods provide for distributing the created electronic survey to a user based on the user being included as a party within the communication (e.g., an email address associated with the user being included in the meeting invite). Accordingly, the systems and methods create an electronic survey, and distribute the electronic survey to parties of a communication based on a user including a survey system as a party of the communication.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2017Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Qualtrics, LLCInventors: Milind Kopikare, Larry Dean Cheesman

Patent number: 10599761Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to digitally converting physical form documents to electronic surveys. For example, a survey system receives an image capture of a physical form document and analyzes the image capture to identify fields including questions within the physical form document. The survey system creates an electronic survey corresponding to the physical form document based on the contents of the fields (e.g., text, objects). Specifically, the survey system generates electronic survey questions for the fields based on the contents of the fields. After generating electronic survey questions for the fields in the image capture, the survey system provides the electronic survey for display to a respondent. Additionally, the survey system can complete an electronic version (e.g., an image) of the form document including the responses.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Qualtrics, LLCInventor: Larry Dean Cheesman
