Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé qui consiste à collecter une analyse à partir de dispositifs mobiles. Le procédé peut consister à recevoir, par un dispositif, un message d'interrogation comprenant un identificateur de question et une interrogation, à déterminer une réponse d'interrogation à l'interrogation, à obtenir un identificateur de dispositif pour le dispositif, à générer un algorithme de hachage question-dispositif à l'aide de l'identificateur de question et de l'identificateur de dispositif, à générer un message de réponse anonyme comprenant l'identificateur de question, la réponse d'interrogation et l'algorithme de hachage question-dispositif, et à envoyer le message de réponse anonyme au serveur d'analyse.
