Patent number: 10567491Abstract: Systems and methods for avoiding network congestion on a web-based survey system are provided using dynamic profiling of users and transmitting the most valuable survey. The system can receive information associated with a user and a number of surveys requested. The system can prompt the user to respond to the first set of routable questions. The system queries a router for a set of surveys with open sub quotas based on the information associated with the user and the answers to the first set of routable questions. The set of surveys are inserted into a list of surveys. Each survey in the list of surveys is assigned a score based on the priority of the survey, the difficulty of the survey and the urgency of the survey and sorted. The system can transmit at least one survey from the list of surveys.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Toluna IsraelInventors: Frank Smadja, Jerome Labbe, Nitin Patel

Publication number: 20090307033Abstract: A system and method for detecting and avoiding attempts at taking the same survey by the same respondent. A respondent is assigned a Global unique identifier (GUID) and the encrypted global identifier is inserted in a “cookie” stored on the user's computer. Each time a respondent attempts to take a survey, a respondent is identified using a mechanism such as e-mail, computer identifier or the like and a Survey Management system checks to see if this respondent should have a global identifier encoded in a cookie. Based on this review, the Survey Management system can determine whether or not this particular user, whether using different computer systems or under different user accounts has previously taken the survey.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2009Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: Greenfield OnlineInventors: Ivan S.
