Solution Overview

Problem

Online surveys lack the personal touch and interactivity, leading to insufficient data quality and quantity, as respondents provide answers without perceived effort from the surveyor to understand unique responses.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that present online surveys to users, evaluate user input quantitatively and qualitatively against reference standards and keywords, and request additional input based on analysis, ensuring data meets predefined thresholds, thereby enhancing data quality and quantity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If online surveys are used to collect user feedback, then data collection cost and ease of operation are improved, but data quality and quantity are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of data collectionVSAvoiddata quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements automated feedback loops where survey responses are evaluated against reference standards, and additional questions are dynamically generated when responses fall below quality thresholds. This ensures continuous improvement of data quality while maintaining online survey efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts survey parameters including question selection, follow-up prompts, and evaluation criteria based on real-time analysis of respondent answers. This adaptive approach maintains data quality without requiring manual intervention in each survey instance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If automated evaluation of user input is implemented, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Reference standards, evaluation criteria, and quality thresholds are pre-configured and stored in the system before survey deployment. This preliminary setup enables automated real-time evaluation without adding complex processing logic during active data collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-evaluation of survey responses against predefined standards, automatically identifying quality issues and generating appropriate follow-up questions without external intervention. This automation maintains productivity while keeping the evaluation logic contained within the survey platform itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

System and methods for populating a database with information from users. A memory stores reference standards, reference keywords, and rules for the reference keywords. An on-line survey question relating to the product/service is presented to the users. Input is received from the users in response to the presented survey question and has content. The received input is stored in the database. A quantity of the content of the received input and a quality of the content of the received input is evaluated.
