Abstract

The invention relates to a method for carrying out an election or a poll via at least one communication network and a polling device. At least one personalized identification information (pin1 x) and at least one election information (wi1 n) valid for the election are allocated to persons entitled to vote (TLN1 x). When the election is carried out, the persons (TLN1 x) transmit at least one identification and at least one election information to a polling target (SERV) via a communication terminal of the communication network. Combinations (komb(pin1 x, wi1 n) that consist of one identification and one election information each are transmitted and evaluated to arrive at the election result. The invention thus provides a method with which multiple polls can be avoided and which allow an improvement of the election result in terms of its informative value and validity.

Description

description

Method for carrying out an election or a vote via at least one communication network and voting device.

In current communication networks, the use of intelligent networks - also known as IN - is known, in which certain services of a communication network that go beyond the mere transmission service and its supplementary service features are concentrated in "intelligent network nodes ^N. " In particular, services that require network-wide implementation and verification do not have to be implemented for each network node, but can be implemented centrally for the entire communication network. In this way, new services can be quickly and easily introduced and used in the entire communication network. A prerequisite for the provision of an intelligent network is an efficient exchange of information between the network nodes and the arrangement of a central database with global network information, which can be accessed quickly from any point in the communication network.

The services implemented in the context of intelligent networks are activated by certain service codes - for example special area codes - or certain events - for example the assignment of a specific subscriber line. The service codes used do not address a switching center or terminal in the communication network, but instead activate the service providers or servers in the communication network, ie a specific service in the communication network is called up or activated by the service code. In the area of intelligent networks, services are also offered that do not result in connections or communication relationships being switched through. One example is the “Televotum” service, in which only the calls arriving under a certain number are counted and statistically evaluated. U) CO) t ^> μ ^»

which are voted on in the course of the election or vote.

According to an alternative embodiment variant of the method according to the invention, the at least one voting target represents at least one voting information representing a voting or voting variant, the different voting information being assigned different communication network-specific communication network addresses or telephone numbers 3. In this embodiment variant, for example, by selecting a specific voting target within the communication network Dialing a specific number in a telephone network - the dialing request or the voting voice has already been transmitted. In this embodiment variant, the voting information - voting request or voting vote, for example a specific candidate for a public election - is already contained in the communication network address or telephone number representing the voting target.

Advantageously, only those valid combinations transmitted by the persons entitled to vote, each consisting of identification information assigned to the respective person and election information valid for the election and assigned to the respective person, are advantageously taken into account - claim 4. As a further advantageous embodiment, in the case of valid combinations consisting of identical identification information and election information transmitted multiple times by a person entitled to vote, these are taken into account only once in the election evaluation - claim 5. These advantageous embodiments prevent, for example, the multiple casting of a vote by a person entitled to vote, which results in a Improvement of the result (in terms of meaningfulness or validity) of an election or a vote is achieved. The valid for the choice of combinations each be ^¬ standing assigned from one of the respective person identification information and a valid for the choice of the respective person associated dialing information is stored centrally at least one communication network wherein, wherein the at the at least one Abstimmziel transmitted combinations can be evaluated with the aid of the stored, valid combinations - claim 6. The combinations valid for the election can be stored, for example, at the respective voting destination or in another facility arranged in the communication network - for example a facility of the election organizer.

Further advantageous embodiments of the method according to the invention can be found in the further claims.

The method according to the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of a block diagram. The block diagram shows in several steps an exemplary sequence of the actions required to carry out the method according to the invention. For example, a citizen's decision is to decide on the expansion of a road through a location or the construction of a new bypass. Every person entitled to vote TLN1 ... X - e.g. all residents of the place -, becomes a personal or participant-specific

Identification information pinl ... x allocated, whereby each identification information pinl ... x may only be assigned once - point 1. The identification information pinl ... x assigned to a subscriber can also be used for further citizen decisions or votes are valid.

Any person who wants to vote TLN1 ... X and wants to take part in a vote by telephone can request the information required to carry out the election - also referred to below as the election or voting number - at the relevant election organizer WV - for example from the municipality - be requested - point 2.

re device must be connectable for the purpose of data exchange with the election server SERV via the communication network KN or another communication network.

The farmers taking part in the vote persons TLN 1 ... X ^¬ over the allotted to them A voting numbers wil ... n informed - Step 5

An election date is set for the implementation of the citizens' decision and one or more specially designated numbers for the election day, e.g. 0190-5050 reserved - point 6. The vote on the expansion or the new construction of the street can be done by any person authorized to vote TLN1 ... X with the help of a telephone - e.g. Telephone or cell phone - can be carried out. The voting can advantageously also be carried out via a telephone booth.

On the day of the vote, each authorized person TLN1 ... X dials the designated number of the SERV election server. According to a first variant, the dialed number is expanded by a voting information stim - e.g. "0190-5050 stm" - where the value stim = 1 of the voting information stands for the expansion of the street and the value stim = 2 for the new construction of a bypass. Thus, two phone numbers of the telephone network are used as voting targets for the implementation of the vote.

Subsequently, the election server SERV uses special recording means ERF to combine the combination komb (pinl ... x, wil ... n) of each person authorized to vote, TLN1 ... X, consisting of identification information pinl ... x and one Election information wanted ... n - step 7.

Example of the sequence of a selection made by a subscriber TLN1 ... X: 1. Dial the number + enter the voting information stim: 0190 - 5050 1 (here stim = 1 = "expansion of the road")

2. Announcement "Please enter identification information *

→ Enter "123456" (for example using the telephone keypad)

3rd announcement: "Please enter voting number '→ enter" 1234 "

4th announcement: "Your voice is registered *.

According to an alternative design variant, only one telephone number is reserved for the election day for the implementation of the citizens' decision. In this embodiment variant, after the selection server SERV has been selected and after the identification information pinl ... x and the selection information wil ... n have been recorded, the voting information stim is also queried by the detection means ERF arranged in the selection server SERV.

The detected identification information pinl ... x and the voting number wil ... n and optionally the voting information stim are stored as a coherent data record in the memory MEM of the election server SERV. After registration or recording of the information komb (pinl ... x, wil ... n) + stim transmitted by the subscriber TLN1 ... X to the election server SERV, the election process is ended for the subscriber TLN1 ... X

The data records stored in the memory MEM are evaluated with the aid of evaluation means ASW arranged in the election server SERV. The combinations komb (pinl ... x, wil ... n) recorded in the course of the selection and stored in the memory MEM each consist of identification information pinl ... x and a voting number wil ... n with the stored, valid combinations komb * (pinl ... x, wil ... n) compared, whereby only valid, recorded combinations komb (pinlx, wil ... n) for the Election evaluation are taken into account. In a wahlbe ^¬ privileged person TLN 1 ... X transmitted several times, valid combination comb (pinl ... x, wil ... n) is this combination comb (pinl ... x, wil ... n) only once taken into account in the election evaluation, which avoids multiple votes by one person TLN1 ... X - multiple votes.

In the first design variant, in which several phone numbers are used for voting and in which the voice of the dialer is contained in the respective phone number, only the identification information pinl ... x and the voting number wil ... n are stored individually for each phone number. A sub-area of the memory MEM is assigned to each call number for storing the transmitted combinations komb (pinl ... x, wil ... n). In the subsequent election evaluation, both each sub-area of the memory MEM itself and the sub-areas against one another must be checked for double entries or combinations komb (pinl ... x, wil ... n).

In the alternative design variant, in which only one telephone number is used for voting, only one memory area is to be provided, in which, in addition to the combination of the identification information pinl ... x and the dialing information, the voting is desired -Information stim is saved.

Additional display means - not shown - can also be arranged in the election server SERV, for example for the graphic display of the evaluation result.

The evaluation results of the election and the announcement of the final election result can take place on the same election evening - step 8.

Alternatively, the information required for the voting - identification information pinl ... x, voting- to μ> o Cn o Cπ
