Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a system that helps with electronic surveys and content delivery in different languages. It has functions for identifying electronic surveys, generating prices for products, and storing responses from surveys. The system also helps create multi-region market research studies, with functions for selecting countries and cities, real-time costing, auto notification to translators, and monitoring translation status. The analysis service provides analysis results to clients using different regional communication modes. Overall, the system improves the efficiency and accuracy of electronic surveys and research studies."

Problems solved by technology

Creating, conducting, collecting data, analyzing data and reporting on such a market research study present a number of challenges that otherwise do not exist in the case of a single region market research study.
Under the prior art, it was often difficult to coordinate the conducting, or processing of such surveys including the tasks of survey generation and delivery, as well as ensuring the data collected are consistent, and compatible for consolidation, analysis and reporting.

[0201]FIGS. 30 through 37, 40, and 41 illustrate a number of embodiments of analysis interfaces, input mechanisms, and analysis reports. Any number of alternate embodiments can be used to provide an analysis interface, receive client input, and provide analysis results.

[0202]FIG. 30 illustrates one embodiment of an identification window 3000. The illustrated window may be the first step to access survey data using the analysis service of the present invention. In the illustrated embodiment, the client is prompted to supply a login and password. The “continue” button submits the supplied information. As discussed above, any number of alternate approaches can be used to identify and authenticate a client.

[0203]FIG. 31 illustrates one embodiment of a survey list window 3100. Assuming, for instance, that the client successfully gained access to the analysis service through the interface of FIG. 30, the client is presented with a list of summary information for surveys to which the cli...

Abstract

A market research service is provided with a study creation service that includes a number of functions to support the creation of multi-region market research studies. In one embodiment, the functions include a function in support of implicit country and / or city selection within a region. In another embodiment, the functions include a function in support of providing a real time cost estimate for the study being created. In yet another embodiment, the functions include a function in support of auto notification to translators providing translation services for translating study elements (such as questions, messages, pick lists and concepts) into supported target languages. In yet another embodiment, the functions include a function in support of on-line check in of the translated study elements. In yet another embodiment, the functions include a function in support of on-line monitoring of translation status.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 164,585, entitled “System and Method for Obtaining and Collating Survey Information In Real Time For Multiple Languages and Multiple Character Encodings,” filed on Nov. 10, 1999, which is hereby fully incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to the field of data processing. More specifically, the present invention relates to the conducting of multi-region market research studies. The present invention also relates to the creation of market research studies for multiple regions, in particular, when non-English speaking regions are involved. The present invention further relates to reporting and analyzing data from a multi-region research survey. [0004] 2. Background Information [0005] With increased globalization of commerce, market researchers increasingly have to conduct market research that involves mu...
