- a set of precisely determined voting participants into a group which can preferably act as an entity during voting. It is thus possible, for example, for various interest groups to form in corresponding groups, which preferably vote on the answers and / or on the comments of the group.
- the preparation of a vote using the invention is preferably carried out as follows, wherein the following description can be understood as an exemplary embodiment:
- the person who wishes to create a vote and who is preferably referred to as an initiator within the meaning of the invention registers on a platform, for example by means of an email address, with clear names, another address and / or with the help of the common registration program interfaces of large Internet service providers. He can also register on a belonging to the invention and on any web pages integrable API interface and make about this all or some of the settings described in the following. Then, the initiator has the following setting options for creating the vote available, although this is not a limiting enumeration of appropriate setting options. In addition, the operator can decide in each setting possibility, whether he offers the initiator this on the platform or not. 1 . The initiator can formulate and set a title for the vote and a description of the vote. Optionally, he can upload a matching photo or other media content to the server of the platform.
- a public vote is preferably visible to everyone and accessible to anyone who registers on the platform.
- a voting chain preferably designates a series of completed votes, which may be useful if, for example, one or more of the individual moves Board game to be voted against artificial intelligence. 5. It can determine the maximum number of contributions a participant may contribute. Optionally, he may be allowed to change this number in the course of the contribution collection. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, one contribution per participant is allowed. 6. It can decide whether the contributions already contributed to a vote should be visible to everyone on the platform or not.
- PC stands for the purposes of the invention preferably for the term "per capita” and means "per capita”.
- a PC vote preferably denotes a vote taken or to be made by a person with the delivery of E votes.
- He may set a minimum amount of persons registered to make his votes, which is necessary for the vote to start. 10.
- it may set the value B, which describes the desired number of contributions per contribution group, covering the individual groups of contributions (contribution groups) taking into account the total number of remaining contributions in iteration i and, if possible, maximum Approach to equal distribution of contributions through the contribution groups.
- a change may, for example, be meaningful if a change in MA results in a desired minimum representativeness of the voting in the individual groups only by a corresponding change of PC.
- He may set the percentages T, which preferably describe what percentage of the remaining contributions will come into the next sub-agreement after a sub-vote has been made.
- He can set the value S, which indicates the minimum number of PC votes to be reached per contribution group and iteration.
- the sub-votes in the individual iterations should be made by live or real-time negotiations among the participants in the individual groups or not.
- the operator can make and / or change all or some of the setting options mentioned in points 1 to 25, for example via the program interface 1 at the beginning and in the course of each vote.
- Both the operator and the initiator preferably have a graphical user interface available which preferably indicates immediately how the non-adjusted voting parameters change depending on the set parameters. This feature allows the initiator or operator to respond to changes and adjust their settings when undesirable constellations occur.
- the voting is preferably carried out as follows: If the initiator has used the setting options offered to him and made settings, he can publish the vote on the platform or alternatively via the API interface on another Internet or intranet platform. If he does so, he receives a URL link that can be generated, for example, by a software and which refers in particular to the vote. In addition, he can use an automated interface, which sends invitations to inviting invitation emails, for example, to those e-mail addresses that enters the initiator in the interface. For example, if the initiator has created a private mood, then in a preferred embodiment of the invention, he receives a password generated by the computer program, which, for example, is additionally required in order to participate in the vote.
- the system comprises a private user area, which in particular is only accessible to the initiator after he has logged on to the platform. It is preferred for the purposes of the invention that the initiator can manage his votes in his private user area. There, if permitted by the operator, he may change one or more of the setting options mentioned in points 1 to 23 in the course of the vote once or several times. There, if the operator allows it and does not do it himself, he can end the respective voting reconciliations manually, for example by "clicking on the mouse.” For example, he can send emails to the participants in the voting and, in addition, can manually start the first iteration start with a "mouse click".
- the title and description of the vote will be sent to several (approximately 10 -200) contributors, each of whom will decide for himself whether the vote is in any way offensive. If it turns out that a certain proportion (for example more than 5% of users) considers the vote inappropriate, it is preferable either to inform the operator and decide whether to end the publication or not, or if the decision is made by the access workers already out that the vote will not be published further.
- assistants are preferably persons and users who have previously registered as assistants on the platform.
- voting may not be published until the above-mentioned control has been carried out by the assistants and the previously defined critical portion of reports regarding objectionable content has not been exceeded.
- registration is required for participation in the process. This can be done, for example, via the platform and / or via the API interface, for example by means of an email address, with clear names and / or via the common API registration interfaces of known Internet service providers. If, for example, it is a private vote, the registration can take place, for example, by entering a password that was previously communicated to the person who wanted to vote by the initiator, and / or via a URL link generated specifically for the email sent to the invitee.
- a private vote is preferably such a vote in which no commercial interests of a company or an individual are in the foreground, but the gain of knowledge of a natural person or a group of people who prefer neither alone nor as a group any commercial intentions follow.
- This can be, for example, an appointment determination for an event or a naming process.
- the enrollant is able to choose after registering whether he wishes to participate in the vote, or whether he or she or, if the operator or the initiator permits, multiple submissions, for example by typing on a computer keyboard or by transmission technically generated data (for example, photo, film, sound or vector files). It is preferred that a participant can unsubscribe at any time from participating in the vote, which preferably means that he is then no longer registered for the vote.
- the person willing to vote may also choose whether his contribution should be listed anonymously, with a nickname or with his real name or indexed.
- each person registered for the vote who is referred to as a participant within the meaning of the invention, preferably automatically receives an invitation to vote, for example by e-mail or by other common means of communication, such as SMS and / or push notifications. unless he has chosen to register, only one
- each invitation mail the participant can choose to vote immediately.
- the PC vote on the contributions in the individual contribution groups takes place, for example, via "checkboxes", in which you can mark the contributions to which you want to vote, so it is also preferable that the vote on the ticking of checkboxes and / or a participant in a vote does not cast one, or up to E PC votes for one or more submissions
- no to E votes may be distributed to one or more submissions
- one or more votes may be awarded by the initiator or, as an option, it may be possible that no one or more votes may be cast in.
- the markings of contributions with one or more votes may also be removed as often as you like.
- a preferred location on a screen is where an input can be made, which is then evaluated by the data processing system to which the screen is preferably connected.
- the "button" may be actuated, for example, by means of an input means, such as a computer mouse, or, if the screen is a touch screen, by touching the corresponding location on the touch screen.
- the contributions could be presented in such a way that they can be “scrolled”, and they could also be “unfolded”, so that at first only a part of the contributions is displayed and the entire content of a contribution only when "clicking" or "mouseover" with the input means, such as the computer mouse, unfolds and sift leaves. It is conceivable that the participant has a helpful graphical interface at his disposal, with the help of which the participant can bring an order into his preferences for the contributions. For example, he can freely move the posts and order them according to his preferences.
- the contributions can be listed among each other.
- an attendee optionally receives the voting results from the iteration and all completed iterations in his or alternatively in all groups. He may preferably be informed by the invitation to participate in the following iteration.
- the vote is preferably completed.
- participants may receive a notification e-mail in this regard.
- the final result of the vote can either be passed directly to the program interface 2 or preferably represented as follows:
- the distribution of the votes on the remaining contributions can be visualized on the platform by various graphics. These include, by way of example but not limitation, the 2- or 3-dimensional bar or pie chart.
- the initiator may, if permitted by the operator, comment in his personal area on the completed voting presented in the voting result.
- the platform includes a discussion forum affiliated with the voting result, in which the outcome can be further discussed. For putting in, it is particularly preferred that all contributions to the vote are ordered according to order and in this orderly form. Depending on whether the vote is public or private, the final voting result can be viewed either by all participants or by all internet users.
- MAij preferably designates the set of all participants registered to submit their votes before sub-vote j in iteration i. If the initiator or the operator does not set the value Bi, Bi should preferably be within the intervals described in Table 2. MB, is the set of all unsubscribed contributions at the beginning of the iteration i.
- the L-shaped brackets mean that should be rounded up to an integer number at this point.
- each contribution group B can be assigned a number of contributions BG, j.
- the first, second, and / or each further iteration of the tuning comprises the distribution of a total quantity MB of contributions randomly drawn into groups of substantially equal size but maximally variable by size V; if there are any remaining remainders of contributions from the total amount MB, which is essentially evenly distributed, but at the most varies by the size V, to the contribution groups.
- the parameter q preferably influences the extent to which the contribution groups decrease from one to the next iteration. If the initiator or the operator does not set the values q, these are preferably in the intervals described in Table 2.
- the participants are asked to vote in two different contribution groups.
- the required PCi can preferably be achieved even with group sizes that are smaller than in the iteration previously.
- MAij is preferably the set of all participants registered to submit their votes before sub-vote j in iteration i.
- a tuning of ⁇ ⁇ * ⁇ , * Xi / # MAiil can be assigned to different contribution groups in order to carry out a PC reconciliation in each case. If the initiator or the operator permits, a voter may also be a person who has registered during the current vote.
- the factor Y is chosen to minimize the risk of requiring further sub-tuning. Since it is intended to compensate for the failure rate, this is an empirically determined value, which is preferably between 1 and 2.
- the assignment per iteration also takes place such that the person who votes is randomly assigned to a contribution group from the set of those contribution groups for which they have so far been assigned one less than the other and that they also contain the fewest contributions that the participant has already voted on. If only one such group exists, it is assigned to this group.
- this rule 2 is not limited to those votes which have a uniform distribution of voting willing on the contribution groups. The same applies preferably to the contribution groups By. These may also have different sizes (greater deviation than 1) in the individual sub-votes, but should preferably be within the limits described in Rule 1.
- the optionally required further sub-adjustments in an iteration i preferably have the purpose of ensuring that at least PC, PC reconciliations occur in each contribution group in an iteration if the initiator or the operator has not determined that the contributions of those subscribers, which have not voted in a sub-vote, are excluded from the vote after their termination and before the contribution selection by Rule 4.
- each maximal ⁇ , * # MBZ, 1 contributions from all remaining contributions come in the following iteration, which together collect the most votes and have each received at least one vote.
- This preferably takes place in such a way that the contributions of the size of the number of votes allocated to them are included in the amount of the further selected contributions until the number of contributions in the quantity of the further selected contributions reaches the size ⁇ * # MBZ, 1 has, or no contributions remain, which accounted for at least one vote.
- Toi has been set, then it is checked whether an exhaustion of the set of tolerances ⁇ , * # MBZ, 1 by Toi, which would additionally arise, would lead to the complete progression of the set M. If this is the case, then all posts from M are selected. Otherwise Toi will not be applied.
- the percentages T, tolerance deviations Toi are assigned, which can be used to exhaust the remaining quantity.
- MBZi is the amount of posts remaining after the merger of multiple identical posts at the end of iteration i.
- T The values T, were previously or will be fixed or changed during the vote by the initiator or by the operator.
- T preferably:
- Ti G / # MBi is preferably set.
- the voters should be able to decide after each completed iteration themselves, which contributions should continue in the next iteration and which should not.
- the participants or only a part of the participants, the voting results in the groups are presented in such a way that, although the distribution of votes, but not the contents of the contributions are visible.
- each participant should not be the group in which he / she has previously voted. Then, each participant should enter a numerical value indicating how many of the contributions from the series of voices they have lost should progress to the next iteration. The most frequently specified numerical value can then serve as a parameter for the method, for example.
- each newly created contribution is compared to the contributions already created by a partial aspect of the procedure. Identifies the content of content identical contributions, for example in text form, in digital form, image form and / or tone form, these are summarized before the start of the first iteration to a contribution.
- the participants who contributed the articles will be informed optionally.
- the entry will be indexed with the names of the contributors who have opted against anonymous participation.
- the voters are preferably asked in each sub-vote to mark multiple identical or very similar contributions. It is preferred for the purposes of the invention that a solution be provided to mark such contributions.
- the method of selection may be applied via "checkboxes."
- the method identifies posts that have been marked multiple times, and after completion of the last sub-match of an iteration, preferably automatically informs the persons who the affected posts, such as via email or other means of communication, such as push notifications or SMS, that their posts have been identified as duplicate, and the posts are displayed to them.
- the data subjects are asked to either select in their user area on the platform or with the help of an email interface, which contribution may be merged with the own contribution, which should not and / or which should be the umbrella term for the merger.
- the text will be defined as a summary and thus remaining text which has been selected most frequently by the participants concerned. If there is no unequivocal majority for a summary text, the software program decides by random drawing from the set of selected texts with the same number of votes.
- the addressees should be allowed to redraft their contribution in order to differentiate it more clearly from the other similar contributions.
- the time period Z2 can be set by the operator and that it is in a preferred range between 1 and 24 hours and more preferably between 1 and 6 hours.
- the affected participants are informed, for example, beforehand by e-mail, via the program interface 1 and / or another notification form, that they have to carry out a review of the contributions and a decision in this regard. Once the decision has been made, the persons whose contributions are affected by the decision will be informed by email or other means of communication.
- the merge is preferably between two sub-votes and / or before the selection of the posts that come in the next iteration.
- the MB values decrease accordingly. Preferably only contributions from the same contribution group are merged.
- the API interface which in the context of the invention is also preferably referred to as program interface 3 or third program interface, is preferably a service for other Internet platform operators, which enables them to publish polls based on the method according to the invention on their own platform.
- program interface 3 is also preferably referred to as program interface 3 or third program interface

- the program interface 1 is available to the operator and that he can, for example, constantly set and / or change the parameters.
- the Proqram Interface 2 is available to the operator and that he can, for example, constantly set and / or change the parameters.
- the program interface 2 is preferably used for fast automatic forwarding of the data obtained by the votes to those machines for whose instruction, control and / or programming the vote has been made.
- the data obtained are preferably converted according to the respective program interface of the affected machines in data interpretable for the controlled machine and transferred. This avoids, after the end of a vote, the acquisition of the machine product. tes, such as 3D printing, telescoping, TV broadcasting, monitor image, and any other time critical to the success of an objective, until the voting results are translated into machine-interpretable data. It is preferred for the purposes of the invention that the method comprises iterative tuning with two or more iterations.
- the method comprises a computer-implemented multi-descriptive voting method which has a combination of any number of rules from Rule 1 to 4 as a basis.
- the method include user functionality that enables the creation of procedural votes.
- the method comprises the API interface which is used to integrate the computer-implemented iterative voting method. It is also preferred that the method enables an iterative tuning that is governed by rules 1 through 4.
- the method comprises methods for identifying and eliminating multiple identical posts and / or the interface in the form of the platform required for establishing and implementing the method according to the invention. It is a preferred embodiment of the invention that the total number MB of contributions is greater than 100, preferably greater than 1000 and most preferably greater than 10,000 and / or a number of participants greater than 100, preferably greater than 500 and most preferably greater than 1000 is. It is particularly preferred for the purposes of the invention that the contribution number MB is a preferred range of 5, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1, 000, 5,000, 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, 500,000, 1,000,000,
- the size of MB increases the probability of the occurrence of a particularly exceptional and / or solution-oriented contribution and the proportion of the crowd affected by the respective control task or question.
- the comparative advantage of the time savings gained by applying the method in the contribution selection increases.
- the technical effects and advantages of the procedure are that, for large volumes of contributions, the individual voters do not have to sift through and assess all (several hundred or even thousands) of contributions and have to settle in one place with all the other voters.
- the advantage is that the method advantageously provides representative voting results whose quality is not limited by the limited number of votes cast from the mid-sized batches (approximately 100-10 billion) of voters due to the abstinence of this method.
- the voting results can be achieved by short times Zij within a few minutes, if the votes are scheduled in advance.
- the method according to the present invention is characterized, inter alia, by its inherent functional improvement over the prior art, which is determined in particular by the practicable balance between the effort for each individual candidate and the level of representation of the vote given voter preferences ,
- Schools can vote on all contributions from students to a specific topic.
- the traffic engineer W. is to restructure and improve the traffic control system and the traffic flow in Kunststoff on behalf of the city. His goal is to reduce the average speed in the city while reducing the Increase accident risk. Since the agreement with the traffic regulation and the willingness to adhere to the traffic regulations are besides the implementation of the experience of the population with the Kunststoff traffic success factors for the achievement of goals, Mr. W. is looking for a way to establish a traffic control system, which is a great Part of the city residents advocates and in which the experiences and wishes of the Kunststoff population are taken into account. Mr. W. plans to use the method according to the invention and to implement its result in the traffic control system. He logs on to the platform. He formulated the title for the vote: "Integration of the sovereign in the Kunststoff traffic control system".
- He uploads a photo of the city onto the platform. He stipulates that the vote should be private. He stipulates that those who contribute to the vote should also be allowed to vote. He states that this is a one-time vote and not a voting chain. He stipulates that the contributions already made should be visible to the participants in the vote. He stipulates that the participants may contribute only one contribution. It defines the following values:
- the operator decrees that a contribution will not be removed from the vote if its author has not participated in a sub-vote.
- the operator has determined the following iteration-independent coordination parameters:
- Mr. W. publishes the vote.
- his personal area he uses the invitation interface and enters there known email addresses of the inhabitants of Munich. Immediately, the addressees receive an invitation to vote, explaining what it's about and providing a URL link to the poll and a password to vote. He also sends out invitations by mail.
- Table 1 summarizes the evolution of the characteristic quantities of the method performed in the case example.
- the table for iteration 5 reads as follows:
- Contribution shall be any voting object in any expedient form of physical and / or technical and / or human origin (for example: text, image, sound, video, data).
- Contribution Group shall refer to one Part of the unsubscribing posts, or all posts that have been deselected, for which a certain number of PC votes will be assigned for the purpose of voting on them.

- Platform preferably refers to an Internet or intranet platform
- Sub-reconciliation A sub-vote refers to a vote in an iteration.
- An iteration preferably consists of several, but at least one sub-vote.
- Voting Prefer a person who has registered for the purpose of imminent voting in an iteration on the platform and has not yet submitted all the votes required by it in active subordination of the iteration in one or more contribution groups
- the default rate shall preferably describe the percentage of persons invited to a sub-vote who have not voted on all the persons invited to the sub-vote until the end of the sub-vote concerned. List of parameters and variables used in the context of the present invention:
- MBZi amount of remaining contributions after merging multiple identical contributions in iteration i
- Bij designation of the contribution group j in iteration i
- GBij number of posts in the contribution group
- B Bi value describing the number of posts they contain to approximate the contribution groups in iteration i for a given MB, and a maximum comparative size deviation of v.
- G limit for the number of remaining contributions, below which these are grouped together.
- s The size at which the individual contribution groups, in the course of the vote, should shrink to the last iteration.
- T percentage which describes what percentage of the remaining contributions should come after a successful iteration i in the next iteration i + 1.
- ⁇ > (1 / ⁇ ) ⁇ 1 Toi, tolerance value that can be added to Ti if this thwarts discrimination in the case of contributions with the same number of votes.
- V The number of contributions by which the contribution group sizes per iteration may vary as much as possible.
- q, factor that regulates to what extent the percentage T influences the reduction of the contribution groups from iteration i to iteration (i + 1).
- MAij amount of subscribers registered in sub-vote j of iteration i for voting.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically a preferred sequence of a vote.
- FIG. 1 shows a possible sequence of a preferred embodiment of the method.
- parameters i and j may be selected to be 1 each.
- the poll may include #MB, posts, and #MAn voting participants at launch.
