Public opinion polling method through internet network {PUBLIC OPINION CENSUS METHOD BY INTERNET NETWORK}

The present invention relates to a method for polling through an internet network, and more particularly, to a method for efficiently selecting a questionnaire and a sample sampling group of a poll and inducing active participation of polling subjects. It is about.

With the development of the internet network, a method of collecting public opinion and other opinions through the internet network is becoming practical. However, in the conventional polling method using the Internet network, since only the pre-set questionnaire examples are presented to the set respondents, there is a problem that the survey is not conducted correctly and does not induce the active participation of the respondents. That is, in the case of a poll, the variation is large depending on which group the respondents belong to and which question they ask. Therefore, it is necessary to select a group according to the nature of the poll and to poll only those who belong to the group. However, in the prior art, there is no suggestion on how to select a group for polling and who belongs to the group. In addition, as mentioned above, the poll questionnaire also uses only predetermined ones, and no method for changing them according to the nature of the poll is not proposed.

In addition, since polling through the Internet is not mandatory, there should be incentives for Internet subscribers to actively participate in the polling, but in the past, this has not been suggested at all. There was.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of preparing a questionnaire according to the nature of a poll and selecting only those who meet the nature of the poll.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention;

1 is a block diagram of an apparatus for performing a public opinion survey method through an internet network according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. It is connected to the machine 3 and the condition setter 4, respectively. The web server 2 mediates the communication between the poll client and the survey configurator 3 and the condition setter 4 via the Internet network 1, i.e., the survey configurator 3 is a survey sample database 5 The survey categories and the survey samples stored in the survey catalog are read out and provided to the survey client through the web server (2), and the survey categories selected from the survey clients and selected or modified survey samples or newly created surveys are provided. Is stored in the survey database 6. In this case, a fee for the cost of responding to the questionnaire may be set for each questionnaire, and the fee information may be stored in the questionnaire database 6 together with the questionnaire.

The condition setter 4 receives the poll subject condition from the investigating client, and sets a sample selection flag only among the applicants in the applicant database 7 that meet the poll subject conditions. Here, the applicant database 7 stores the characteristics (eg, degree of education, place of origin, hobby, occupation, age, etc.) and applicant IDs of the applicants who apply to participate in the poll as described above. In addition, in the sample database 5, various questionnaires for opinion polls are stored for each category, and the questionnaire selected through the survey configurator 3 is stored in the questionnaire database 6, and this questionnaire database ( The surveys in 6) are actually the surveys provided to the respondents.

The account extractor 8 detects from the applicant database 7 the IDs of the applicants (hereinafter referred to as the subjects) whose sampling flag is set and provides them to the web server 9. The web server 9 provides the web server 9 with information about a questionnaire from the response form generator 10 and a form to which the subjects can respond in response to the questionnaire (hereinafter referred to as questionnaire). The web server 9 provides the survey screen information from the response type generator 10 only to the subjects from the account extractor 8. Here, the response type generator 10 may provide the web server 9 with information on the response fee set for the surveys in the survey database 6 to the participants participating in the survey, as described below. The web server 9 can provide the subject with information on the response fee as the screen information.

Meanwhile, the response information of the subjects who participated in the poll is stored in the response base 11 through the web server 9, and the cyber account manager 12 calculates the price for the subjects' participation in the opinion poll to the user cyber account database. Store in (13).

The response base 11 and the questionnaire database 6 are connected to the statistics generator 14, which uses the information in these databases 11, 6 to obtain statistics of the results of the polls. This result is then provided to the result generator 15. The result generator 15 is configured to construct a screen for the statistical result value and to provide it to the poll client through the web server 2.

Although the above-described configuration has been described as configuring two web servers (2) and (9), it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that these may be physically implemented.

The operation flow of the apparatus of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

First, when the poll client wants to conduct a poll, the survey configurator 3 of the present invention reads the category information of the questionnaire samples stored in the sample questionnaire database 5 and provides the survey client with the survey client through the web server. do.

When the survey client sees this sample category and selects one of them (S1), the survey configurator (3) provides the survey client with the survey samples in the selected category (S2) and decides whether to use these survey samples without modification. Inquire to the client (S3). As a result of the query, the survey client proceeds to step S15 when the survey sample intends to use the survey samples as it is, but proceeds to step S4 when the survey client wants to modify the survey samples. At this time, the survey client can be modified into three modes of the sample. First, the mode in which the survey sample stored in the survey sample database 5 can be modified is the addition of the stored samples, the addition of the questionnaire by the survey client, and the correction of the questionnaire by the survey client. This will be described in detail below.

When the additional mode of the survey sample is selected, the survey configurator 3 presents a list of preliminary samples prepared in the category selected by the client (S5), and the client selects some or all of the surveys included in the list. (S6) The selected questionnaire is added to the presented questionnaires. This process will be terminated after the survey client orders the end of the modification mode of the survey sample or after providing all the prepared preliminary survey samples to the survey client. That is, in step S8, when the survey client commands the end of the correction mode or when all the preliminary questionnaire samples are provided, the process proceeds to step S15.

When the sample add mode by the survey client is selected, the survey configurator 3 provides the survey client with a screen that allows the survey client to fill out a survey desired by the survey client, and when the survey client fills out the questionnaire on this screen, (S9) Add the completed questionnaire to the questionnaire samples (S10). This process is terminated by the user commanding the exit of the correction mode (S11), and if the exit of the correction mode is not commanded, it is configured to continuously perform the steps (S9, S10). You can add

When the survey client selects a modification mode of the survey sample, the survey client may select a survey sample to be modified among the survey samples (S12) and apply a correction to the selected sample (S13). This process is also terminated by the investigation client ordering the end of the correction mode (S14), and if the termination of the correction mode is not commanded, it is configured to continuously perform the steps (S12, S13) so that the investigation client can freely modify the questionnaire samples. Can be.

The additional (preliminary survey or user-created survey) and modified survey samples by step S3-S14 are stored in the survey database 6 (S15), and the survey samples in the survey database 6 are public opinion. It serves as a questionnaire for research.

The questionnaires stored in the questionnaire database 6 in step S15 described above are assigned a response fee as described above, and the response fee is stored in the questionnaire database 6 together with the questionnaire.

Thereafter, when the survey client inputs a condition (target person and qualification) for the target to participate in the poll (S16), the condition setter 4 conditions the applicant who meets the qualification among the applicants stored in the applicant database 7. It detects as many as the number of (S17), and sets it as a target by setting a sampling flag in these. In other words, subjects whose sample selection flags are set are entitled to participate in a poll as described below.

Through the above process, the process of preparing a survey questionnaire according to the survey client's condition and selecting an applicant to participate in the survey is completed. Next, a method of conducting a survey from the selected subject will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3. Explain.

If the applicant who previously applied to participate in the survey through the process of FIG. 2, that is, stored in the applicant database 7, logs in, as shown in FIG. 3, that is, inputs an applicant's ID and password (S21). The ID information of the applicant is provided to the account extractor 8 through the web server 9, and the account extractor 8 detects whether a sampling flag is set in the applicant ID from the applicant database 7 (S22, S23). As a result of performing step S23, when the sample selection flag is not set in the applicant ID, the applicant who has logged in does not correspond to the conditions suggested by the investigating client, and thus ends all processes.

However, if the sampling flag is set in the applicant database 7 as a result of performing step S23, the process proceeds to step S24, in which the response form generator 10 performs a questionnaire database (S24). 6) The total amount of the response fee for the questions stored in the sum is summed up, and the sum of the fee information and an indication asking whether to participate, for example, a button display is provided to the applicant through the web server 9 (S25). That is, in the present invention, the motivation for the subject to actively participate in the poll by presenting to the subject the price of participation in the poll before the poll is conducted.

As a result of performing step S26, when the subject clicks on the intention to participate, for example, button display, the process proceeds to step S27, but when the subject does not indicate the intention to participate (for example, clicking the button display within a predetermined time) If not), the whole process ends.

When the subject has indicated his or her desire to participate, the response type generator 10 presents to the subject questionnaires of the poll in which the subject participates. When the subject selects one of the surveys (S28) and responds (S29), the web server 9 stores the response information in the response database 11, while the cyber account manager 12 applies the corresponding information. The response fee assigned to the questionnaire is stored in the corresponding target person and stored in the user cyber account database 13 (S30). That is, each time a subject responds to a questionnaire, the response information is stored in the response database while the response fee is accumulated.

The above-described process is performed continuously only when the questionnaire to which the subject answers in the questionnaire database 6 remains or the subject wants to continue to participate (S31).

The response results that the subjects respond through the above-described process are stored in the response database 11, and the statistics generator 14 uses the response results in the response database 11 and the questionnaire information in the questionnaire database 6. Detect statistics on polls. And since this result is provided to the web server 2 via the result generator 15, the poll client can easily confirm the poll result requested by the web server 2.

As described above, the present invention can limit the conditions of the subjects who will participate in the survey, and can use the pre-prepared questionnaire as it is, or modify and add the survey to the survey questionnaire. I can do it.

In addition, the present invention has the effect of motivating the poll participants to actively participate in the poll by earning a reward amount for the poll participants according to the participation.
