Abstract

System for creating, distributing and analyzing anonymized profile queries, characterized in that profile queries from a sponsor are answered anonymously by a customer group and analyzes of the profile queries can be carried out by customers within the customer group and / or the sponsor.

Description

The system consists of a database and a user interface. As user roles, 1 - n customers K1-Kn and at least 1 sponsor S serve the system in the workflow. There is also an operator of the system B.

General use cases (AF)

• 1. First registration of a user (customer) on the system
• 2. First registration of a user (sponsor) on the system
• 3. Registration of a user (customer) on the system
• 4. Registration of a user (sponsor) on the system
• 5. Create a profile query by a sponsor
• 6. Create a profile by a customer
• 7. Distributing a profile query by a sponsor
• 8. Editing a profile query by a sponsor
• 9. Editing a profile query by a customer
• 10. Extend an existing profile query
• 11. Analysis of a profile query by a sponsor
• 12. Analysis of a profile by another customer

Typical workflow

Are already n customers K1-Kn logged on the system (AF1). A typical workflow begins with the registration of a sponsor S (AF2) on the system. This now creates a profile query (AF5). This query contains entries that consist of an explanation and a vote. The explanation can be made by pictures, films or text. The tuning can be done by an interval, one or more values, or a selection of attributes. The sponsor determines the respective entries with explanations and votes. Then he can distribute the query to (usually several) customers (AF7). The selection of the customer groups can be made by attributes of the customer, which are created by a sponsor or by a customer and also confirmed by a customer.

A customer who has received a profile query will see it after logging in to the system (AF3). He can now edit and save the query (AF9). After successfully saving the query in the database, the sponsor can after logging on (AF4) analyze the profile queries distributed by him and previously processed (AF11).

Further work processes

It is also possible to have a profile created by the customer himself (AF6) - this usually serves to have this profile analyzed by another customer (AF12). Again, the other customer can rely on the attributes of the customer to be analyzed. The use cases AF8, AF9 and AF10 support the workflows described above.

Attributes of the customer

The attributes for selecting customer groups may be specified by a sponsor to be confirmed by a customer as needed. This allows the sponsor to support the selection of customer groups. Alternatively, customer-defined attributes are used for selection. An operator can also provide a preselection of attributes for sponsor and customer.

anonymization

The registration of a customer on the system (AF3) is anonymous. Even if the customer's first-time login (AF1) captures data about the customer's customer by operator B, they remain hidden for analysis at least to the sponsor (AF11) or another customer (AF12).

Preferably realization

The implementation of the system preferably allows customer access to profile queries (AF9) from a plurality of locations - for this purpose, the user interface is to be implemented so that they z. B. from a personal computer or television with network connection or a mobile communication device (mobile phone, portable computer) can be used. The analysis by a customer (AF12) should be supported in the same way. Analysis by a sponsor (AF11) could be limited to a personal computer.

Industrial Applicability

The operator B of the new system could charge the participating customers K or the sponsor S fees for the operation of the system and / or the provision of relevant attributes.

Claims (4)
