Description

  The present invention relates to a questionnaire collection device and a questionnaire collection program that reflect the intentions of questionnaire respondents and enables a questionnaire organizer to obtain questionnaire results efficiently.

  In some conventional questionnaires, a questionnaire organizer sets options for answering a plurality of questionnaires in advance, and a questionnaire respondent selects and answers the optimum option from the candidates.

In some cases, re-voting is permitted in elections and the like, and at the time of re-voting, the previous vote is canceled to avoid duplicate voting (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP-A-8-16680

  However, a questionnaire that accepts the answer contents answered by the questionnaire respondent as a new option instead of the option previously set by the questionnaire organizer, and allows the added new option to be selected in subsequent answers. There can also be a scheme. Under such a questionnaire system, when a survey respondent adds a new option, the survey respondent who answered the survey before the option is added is more likely to use the newly added option. It may be the best answer.

  Therefore, the questionnaire organizer notifies the questionnaire respondent who has already answered a re-response request for comparing the current response with the newly added option. Then, the survey respondent re-replies to the re-response request sent from the survey organizer.

  When processing from this series of questionnaire re-response request notification to aggregation is performed, each time a new questionnaire response option is added, the survey response request is notified again. It will take time.

  The present invention is a questionnaire collection program that enables reception of answers selected from a plurality of existing options and answers newly added to the options, and the computer receives the answer information of the questionnaire from the first respondent. Receiving accepting means, and determining whether or not the answer information accepted by the accepting means includes the addition of a new option, and when determining that it includes the addition of a new option, the new option creating means for adding the new option to the option In the case where a new option is added by the new option generating unit, the new option is made to function as a notification unit for notifying a respondent who has received an answer before the new option is added, a re-response request. .

  With this configuration, it becomes possible to notify a re-response efficiently, and items that can be selected by the respondent are also secured.

  Further, in the questionnaire re-answer request to the second respondent who has notified the re-answer request, the notifying means presents only the option previously answered by the second respondent and the new option as selectable options. It is characterized by that.

  With this configuration, it is possible to prevent a completely different answer from being made at the time of re-answering, and to perform quick questionnaire tabulation.

  Further, in the questionnaire re-answer request to the second respondent who has notified the re-answer request, if there are a plurality of new options since the second respondent answered last time, the notifying means further includes a questionnaire. It is characterized in that it is possible to select the option that was previously answered in the re-reply request and all the options that have been added since the previous answer.

  With this configuration, it is possible to prevent a completely different answer from being made at the time of re-answering, and to avoid the trouble of repeatedly answering additional questions.

  In addition, if there is at least one response from all respondents who requested a response to the questionnaire, the minimum number of votes that can be predicted to be the smallest number of choices when all the responses to the questionnaire are complete. Aggregating means for aggregating and a means for aggregating the maximum possible number of votes when predicted to be the maximum, corresponding to the minimum possibility for obtaining the number of votes obtained by the aggregating means corresponding to the first option, and the second option The maximum possibility number of votes obtained by the counting means is compared, and the first possibility is obtained when the minimum possibility number of votes corresponding to the first option is larger than the maximum possibility number of votes corresponding to the second option. And a notification means for notifying that the order of the second option and the second option has been finalized.

  With this configuration, it becomes possible to notify the answer when the order of the questionnaire answer is determined, and it is not necessary to wait for the result until the deadline of the questionnaire, and it is possible to speed up the questionnaire totalization process.

Further, the number of top responses, which is the number of options with a large number of votes, is determined in advance, and the notification means further includes
Sorting the options by the smallest possible number of votes, the possibility corresponding to the minimum number of the smallest possible number of votes in the sorted choices included in the top answer number and all the options outside the top answer number Comparing the maximum number of maximum votes obtained and notifying all options in the number of top responses in the first counting means as a questionnaire response result when the minimum number is larger than the maximum number It is characterized by.

  With this configuration, since the answer is output when a higher-order option predetermined by the questionnaire organizer is obtained, it is possible to obtain an earlier answer result of the questionnaire.

  According to the present invention, it is possible for a survey respondent to add an option for answering a survey, so that it is possible to collect survey responses more inspiring by the respondents, and at the time when the top responses are confirmed, By outputting the questionnaire response result to the person, it is possible to obtain the questionnaire result without waiting for the questionnaire response deadline.

  Examples of preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below.

  The questionnaire method in the present embodiment is a questionnaire method that allows the user to select not only a plurality of options but also allows the user to add a new option.

  Also, another user can select an option added by one user. Furthermore, the user who sends the questionnaire question in the present invention is predetermined.

  When a new option is added by a certain user, other users who have already answered can reply to the questionnaire again, and can cancel the already answered and answer the new option.

  In addition, when a user who has answered a questionnaire once re-answers, a new option cannot be added by himself. Furthermore, it is only possible to vote for a new option added by another user at the time of re-answering or to cancel the already voted portion.

  FIG. 1 shows a system configuration diagram.

  In the system of the present invention, a questionnaire collection device 10 and a questionnaire response terminal 50 are connected by a network 60.

  The questionnaire collection device 10 performs processes such as management of users who answer a questionnaire, notification of a questionnaire response request, collection of a questionnaire, addition of a questionnaire response result to a new option, notification of a re-response request of a questionnaire, confirmation of a top answer, etc. It is a device to perform.

  The questionnaire collection device 10 includes a questionnaire management unit 11, an option setting unit 12, and a higher-level answer determination unit 13.

  The questionnaire management means 11 transmits a questionnaire response request to the target questionnaire response person's questionnaire response terminal 50 via the network 60, or receives a questionnaire response from the questionnaire response terminal 50 via the network 60 by the questionnaire response system. Then, a questionnaire answer is memorized or a questionnaire answer is totaled.

  If the answer is added to the free entry column at the time of collecting the questionnaire, the option converting means 12 adds it as a new option for the questionnaire answer if it can be a new item. The questionnaire management means 11 sends the questionnaire to which the questionnaire answer options are added to each questionnaire terminal 50 as a re-response request.

  When the questionnaire management means 11 sums up the questionnaire responses, the high-order answer determination means 13 determines whether or not there is a possibility that the ranking will vary depending on the number of votes of the questionnaire answer options based on the value of the questionnaire. When it does not occur, the fact that the questionnaire response rank is confirmed is output.

  The questionnaire collection device 10 is connected to the user management database 20, the voting record database 30, and the questionnaire setting database 40. The questionnaire management means 11, the selection means 12, and the high-order answer determination means 13 are stored in each database. Read or write information.

  FIG. 2 shows the data structure of the user management database 20.

  The user management database 20 is a database for managing information on users who make questionnaire responses, and includes a user ID 21, a name 22, and a contact 23.

  The user ID 21 is a number for identifying the user.

  The name 22 is the name of the user.

  The contact address 23 is a delivery address when sending a questionnaire response request to the user.

  In this embodiment, a questionnaire response request is made by e-mail. A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) indicating the location of an information resource existing on the Internet for answering the questionnaire is described in the e-mail, and the questionnaire respondent accesses the URL and answers the questionnaire. Assumed. However, it is not limited to a method of sending a questionnaire request by e-mail, and it is possible to make a questionnaire notification on the assumption that the user is logged in to the system at any time. Other methods are also possible.

  FIG. 3 shows the data structure of the voting record database 30.

  The voting record database 30 notifies a questionnaire response request, and stores a user ID 31, a response content 32, and a response date 33 in association with each other when a questionnaire response is received.

  The user ID 31 is a number for identifying a user, and is the same as the user ID 21 in the user management database 20.

  The answer content 32 stores what the answer to the questionnaire was. For example, an option number is stored. The answer date 33 stores when the answer to the questionnaire was made.

  FIG. 4 shows the data structure of the questionnaire setting database 40. The questionnaire setting database 40 stores a questionnaire question 41, a top answer number 42, an option number 43, option contents 44, and a setting date 45 in association with each other.

  The questionnaire question 41 stores a questionnaire question. The survey organizer registers in advance.

  The upper answer number 42 is a value set in advance by the questionnaire organizer. Register how many top choices the survey organizer needs. The upper answer determination means 13 sums up the answer options when there is a response to the questionnaire, and determines that the upper option is determined when it is determined that there is no change in rank due to the number of votes of each option. Output. In this case, the number of higher-order options is registered.

  The option number 43 is an option number at the time of answering the questionnaire. The contents 44 are specific contents of the answer to the questionnaire corresponding to the option number 43. The setting date and time 45 is the date and time when the option number 43 and the content 44 are set as the answer options for the questionnaire.

  The option number 43, the content 44, and the set date 45 are added as needed when the survey respondent adds a new option.

  The questionnaire response terminal 50 is a terminal device for a questionnaire respondent to answer. The questionnaire collection device 10 requests a questionnaire response to the user ID 21 registered in the user management database 20, and in that case, notifies the contact 23 corresponding to the user ID 21 by e-mail. Ask at.

  When the questionnaire response terminal 50 receives the e-mail via the network 60, the user accesses the URL of the questionnaire response destination described in the e-mail, logs into the questionnaire response system existing in the URL, and answers the questionnaire Answer the questionnaire by typing.

  As an example of hardware constituting the questionnaire collection device 10, a CPU, ROM, RAM, HDD (hard disk drive), HD (hard disk), FDD (flexible disk drive), and a removable recording medium As an example, an FD (flexible disk), a display, an I / F (interface), a keyboard, and a mouse are provided. Each component is connected by a bus.

  The CPU controls the entire questionnaire collection apparatus 10. The ROM stores a program such as a boot program. The RAM is used as a work area for the CPU. The HDD controls reading / writing of data with respect to the HD according to the control of the CPU. The HD stores data written under the control of the HDD. The FDD controls reading / writing of data with respect to the FD according to the control of the CPU. The FD stores data written under the control of the FDD, or causes the information processing apparatus to read data recorded on the FD. As a removable recording medium, in addition to the FD, a CD-ROM (CD-R, CD-RW), MO, DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), memory card, or the like may be used.

  The display displays a window (browser) relating to data such as a document, an image, and function information as well as a cursor, an icon, or a tool box. For example, CRT, TFT liquid crystal display, plasma display and the like.

Further, the function of the questionnaire collection device 10 is realized by the CPU executing a questionnaire collection management program stored in the ROM, RAM, HD, FD or the like.
In addition, various data stored in the various user management database 20, the voting record database 30, the questionnaire setting database 40, the revoting right holder list table 70, the option voting possibility table 80, etc. The RAM used for general purposes may be generated and erased as necessary.

  The I / F (interface) is connected to a network 60 such as a LAN or the Internet through a communication line, and is connected to the questionnaire response terminal 50 via the network 60.

  The I / F controls an interface between the network and the inside, and controls data input / output with the questionnaire response terminal 50. The I / F is, for example, a modem. When the information providing apparatus performs wireless communication with a mobile phone or the like, the I / F also has a function as a communication device (wireless transceiver).

  The keyboard has keys for inputting characters, numbers, various instructions, etc., and inputs data. It may be a touch panel type input pad. The mouse moves the cursor, selects a range, or moves and changes the size of the window. A trackball, a joystick, or the like may be used as long as it has a similar function as a pointing device.

The questionnaire response terminal 50 has the same configuration as the questionnaire collection device 10.
However, this hardware configuration is an example, and can be changed as appropriate according to the usage mode of the present invention.

  Next, a series of processes for questionnaire totalization will be described.

  FIG. 5 shows a flowchart for accepting voting and making options for answer contents. In FIG. 5, processing from logging in to the questionnaire response system until adding a new option will be described.

  First, the user who has received the questionnaire response request e-mail logs in to the questionnaire response system managed by the questionnaire management means 11 of the questionnaire collection device 10. The questionnaire management means 11 acquires the user ID 21 at the time of login.

  The questionnaire management means 11 searches the voting record database 30 based on the user ID 31 acquired at the time of login, and acquires the answer date 33 (S101). The questionnaire management unit 11 determines whether or not the answer date 33 corresponding to the user ID 31 is not set (S102). The state where the answer date 33 in the voting record database 30 is not set means that the answer to the current questionnaire is the first time, and the state where the answer date 33 is set means that the current answer to the questionnaire is a re-answer. Means that.

  When the current questionnaire answer is the first time (S102: Yes), the contents 44 of the answer options in the questionnaire setting database 40 are displayed and the answer is accepted (S104).

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a screen displayed in the questionnaire response system.

  In the screen example of FIG. 9, the user ID currently logged in to the questionnaire response system, the text of the questionnaire question 41 in the questionnaire setting database 40, and the list 44 of option contents 44 in the questionnaire setting database 40 are displayed on the screen.

  In this screen, there are three options, “Buri Teriyaki”, “Sasai Saiyaki”, and “Pizza”. It is in the state where “Soba” is entered. The questionnaire is answered by checking a check box selected from a plurality of options.

  The user selects the answer content 32 as an option for the questionnaire answer, and the questionnaire collection apparatus 10 receives the questionnaire answer terminal 50 via the network 60. The answer content 32 further includes information as to whether the selection is the content 44 that is an existing option or whether a new option is added, and the content is included when a new option is added.

  Next, the questionnaire management means 11 receives the questionnaire response and determines whether or not the response is a selection of an existing option (S105).

  In the case of selection of the content 44 of the existing option (S105: Yes), the current date and time are acquired and set as the response date and time 33, and the response content 32 and the response date and time 33 are recorded in the record corresponding to the user ID 31 of the voting record database 30. (S108).

  On the other hand, when the content 44 of the new option is added (S105: No), the option creating means 12 of the questionnaire collection apparatus 10 adds the option number 43 to the option record of the questionnaire setting database 40 as a new vote option. An option is set as content 44 and the current date is set as set date 45 (S106).

  Next, the voting record database 30 is referred to, the answered users are extracted, and notification that re-voting is accepted because a new option has been added (S107).

  Whether or not the user has already been answered is determined by the presence or absence of the answer date 33 in the voting record database 30. The answered user ID 31 is extracted, and an e-mail is sent to the contact 23 of the user ID 21 in the corresponding user management database 20.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of a re-voting request screen displayed in the questionnaire response system.

  You are notified that a new item has been added and that you can vote again.

  Next, the questionnaire management unit 11 acquires the current date and time as the response date and time 33, and records the response content 32 and the response date and time 33 in a record corresponding to the user ID 31 of the voting record database 30 (S108).

  In the case of a user who has added an option, the response content 32 is stored as a vote for the added option.

  Next, when the answer date 33 corresponding to the user ID 31 of the voting record database 30 is set in S103, that is, in the case of a re-answer (S102: No), a re-answer process is performed (S103).

  FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of the re-answer process.

  First, the questionnaire management means 11 searches the questionnaire setting database 40 and acquires setting dates 45 of all options (S201).

  This user ID 31 determines whether or not re-voting is possible (S202).

  This is done by comparing the answer date 33 corresponding to the current user ID 31 with the set date 45 of all the options acquired in S201, and determining whether there is a set date 45 after the answer date 33. . This is because it is impossible to simply correct the answer as a premise of the questionnaire method in this embodiment.

  When re-voting is impossible (S202: No), that is, when the set date 45 after the answer date 33 does not exist, a message indicating that re-voting is not possible is displayed. (S203).

  FIG. 11 shows an example of a non-replyable screen displayed on the questionnaire response system. In the screen of FIG. 11, a questionnaire question 41 and option contents 44 in the questionnaire setting database 40 and answer contents 32 in the voting record database 30 answered by the user are displayed and a message indicating that re-answering is impossible is displayed. The

  On the other hand, if re-voting is possible (S202: Yes), that is, if there is a set date 45 after the answer date 33, the questionnaire setting database 40 is searched and an option that is the set date 45 after the answer date 33 is selected. Only the contents 44 are displayed as selectable on the questionnaire response screen (S204).

  FIG. 12 shows an example of a re-answer screen displayed on the questionnaire response system.

  Here, the user ID 21, the questionnaire question 41, and the contents 44 of the options are displayed, check boxes are displayed only for selectable items, the previous answer is canceled, and the options added after the previous vote are re-voted. A message indicating that it can be displayed.

  Note that a check box is not displayed for a non-selectable item, and the non-selectable item is not displayed or grayed out as appropriate.

  When the questionnaire is re-answered, the current date and time are acquired and set as the response date and time 33, and the response content 32 and the response date and time 33 are overwritten and recorded on the record of the corresponding user ID 31 in the voting record database 30 (S205).

  Next, a process for obtaining the questionnaire result early, that is, a process for outputting the questionnaire top answer when it is determined that the top answer of the questionnaire is confirmed early will be described.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart (1) of the vote upper determination determination.
The processing in FIG. 7 is performed at regular intervals after the questionnaire is started. In addition, this process is not restricted to a fixed time, You may start a process based on another timing. In addition, the questionnaire is conducted until the final deadline for answering the questionnaire comes. Or it is also possible to end by an instruction from the questionnaire organizer when the ranking is determined.

  The upper answer determination means 12 of the questionnaire collection device 10 searches the voting record database 30, acquires the answer date 33 of all user IDs (S301), and whether there is a data record in which the answer date 33 acquired in S301 is not set. It is determined whether or not (S302).

  If there is a data record in which the answer date 33 is not set (S302: Yes), there will be a survey respondent who has not yet answered, and there is a possibility that a new item of the survey may be added. Continue processing to wait for the answer to the questionnaire.

  On the other hand, when there is no data record in which the answer date 33 is not set (S302: No), there is no possibility that a new item is added to the questionnaire answer, and the final answer determination process after S303 is performed.

  The upper answer determination unit 12 acquires the upper answer number 42 in the questionnaire setting database 40 (S303). The questionnaire setting database 40 is referred to, and the setting date 45 of all option numbers 43 is acquired (S304).

  Next, the re-voting right holder list table 70 and the option vote possibility table 80 are initialized (S305).

  Here, the re-voting right holder list table 70 is a table for managing users who have the right to re-answer questionnaire responses. That is, the questionnaire re-response right is generated only when a new option is added after the user answers, but the user who meets the condition is extracted from the data record of the voting record database 30.

  FIG. 13 shows a data configuration example of the re-voting right holder list table 70. The revoting right holder list table 70 includes a user ID 71, answer contents 72, and answer date and time 73. Since each data item is the same as each data item in the voting record database 30, description thereof is omitted.

  The option vote possibility table 80 is a table used to calculate the maximum number of changes in the number of choice votes and to determine an option with the highest number of questionnaire responses.

  FIG. 14 shows a data configuration example of the option vote possibility table 80.

  The option vote possibility table 80 includes an option number 81, a current vote number 82, a high-order answer flag 83, a minimum possibility vote number 84, and a maximum possibility vote number 85.

  The option number is the same as the option number 43 in the questionnaire setting database 40. The current number of votes 82 is the number of votes for each option obtained by counting the response contents 32 answered by all the user IDs 31 recorded in the voting record database 30 for each option.

  The high-order answer flag 83 is set based on the value of the high-order answer number 42 in the questionnaire setting database 40 in descending order of the number of votes from the record having the largest number of current votes 82. When it is determined that the order of the option for which the top answer flag 83 is set and the option for which the top answer flag 83 is not set are exchanged, it is considered that the top answer of the questionnaire has been confirmed, and this is output. Is done.

  The minimum possibility vote number 84 is a predicted value when the number of choice votes is the minimum value when there is a questionnaire response from all users.

  The maximum possible number of votes 85 is a predicted value when the number of votes for an option becomes the maximum when there is a questionnaire response from all users.

  The re-voting right holder list table 70 and the option voting possibility table 80 are displayed for convenience of explanation of the present embodiment, and are actually developed on the RAM in the questionnaire collection device 10. Is not necessarily in the form of a table.

  Next, a search is made for a user ID 31 that is an answer date 33 earlier than the last one of all set dates 45 (S306). Since the user ID 31 that is the answer date 33 before the last of all the set dates 45 is a person who has the right to answer again, the number of questionnaire options obtained may vary. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether such a user exists.

  It is determined whether or not the corresponding user exists (S307). It is determined whether there is a user based on the search result of S306. If the corresponding user does not exist (S307: Yes), there is no possibility that the number of votes for the answer options of the questionnaire will fluctuate. Therefore, the vote record database 30 is read, and the number of votes for each option number that is the answer contents 32 is obtained. Aggregate and output the higher option number with the most votes to the questionnaire organizer (S308).

  On the other hand, if there is a corresponding user (S307: No), the number of votes for answer choices in the questionnaire may vary, so the process of flowchart (2) for determining the higher vote is performed (S309).

  FIG. 8 shows a flowchart (2) of the vote upper final determination.

  In the flowchart (2) for determining a vote upper rank, each option is extracted, and a process of calculating the maximum number of votes and the minimum number of votes expected for each option is performed.

  The corresponding user ID 31, answer date 33, and answer contents 32 in the voting record database 30 are set as the user ID 71, answer date 73, and answer contents 72 in the re-voting right holder list table 70 (S401). The processing here is to extract the data records that have the answer date 33 before the last of all the set dates 45 from the user who was searched in S306, that is, the voting record database 30, and repeat the search. The user ID 71, the reply date and time 73, and the reply contents 72 of the voting right holder list table 70 are set.

  The voting record database 30 is read, and the number of votes obtained for each option of the option contents 32 is totaled to obtain the current number of votes 82, which is set together with the option number 81 in the option vote possibility table 80 (S402).

  A record having a large number of current votes 82 in the option vote possibility table 80 is identified, and the high-order answer flag 83 is set (S403). The number of records to be identified is the number of upper answers 42 in the questionnaire setting database 40.

  The number of votes obtained is counted for each option from the reply contents 72 of the re-voting right holder list table 70 (S404).

  The number of votes obtained in S404 is subtracted from the current number of votes 82 of each option 81 in the option vote possibility table 80, and the subtraction result is set as the minimum possibility vote number 84 (S405).

  For each option, the number of votes obtained as the answer date and time 73 in the revoting right holder list table 70 with values before the setting date 45 in the questionnaire setting database 40 is totaled, and the result obtained by adding the number of votes to the current number of votes 82 Is set as the maximum possible number of votes 85 (S406).

  Of the records in which the high-order answer flag 83 of the option vote possibility table 80 is set, the minimum possibility minimum vote number 84 is set as the minimum vote number (S407).

Of the records in which the high-order answer flag 83 of the option vote possibility table 80 is not set, the maximum possibility maximum vote number 85 is set as the maximum number of votes (S408).
As described above, the maximum number of votes and the minimum number of votes for determining whether or not the ranking change of options for extracting high-order answers occurs is obtained from the answer results of the questionnaire.

Next, the maximum number of votes and the minimum number of votes are compared (S310).
When the maximum number of votes is larger (S310: Yes), that is, when the option that is the upper answer at the present time is compared with the lower option that does not correspond to the option that is the upper answer, the ranking may change. At this time, since it is determined that the top answer of the questionnaire has not been confirmed, the processing of this flowchart is terminated and the questionnaire collection processing is continued.

  On the other hand, when the minimum number of votes is larger (S310: No), that is, not all questionnaire responses are collected at the present time, but when the top answer is confirmed, the option with the highest number of votes is output at the present time. (S311).

As described above, the survey respondents can add options for answering the questionnaire, so that it is possible to collect more accurate answers to the questionnaire, and when the top answers are confirmed, By outputting the answer result, it is possible to obtain the questionnaire result without waiting for the deadline for answering the questionnaire.
