The consumers' answers to the survey questions help target the future coupon distributions. | 11-27-2014 |
| 20120265578 | COMPLETING TASKS INVOLVING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BY DISTRIBUTED PEOPLE IN AN UNSECURE ENVIRONMENT - A system receives from a client a job comprising confidential information. The system then distorts the confidential information associated with the job. Next, the system divides the job into multiple discrete tasks such that the distorted confidential information is further divided and the confidential information cannot be deciphered from an individual task. The tasks are then delegated to respondents in different geographical locations with different social preferences. Because of these differences the respondents are unlikely to communicate information about their job with each other. The respondents receive the job securely through their electronic devices, perform the delegated tasks, and provide the system with responses to the tasks through the devices. The system receives the responses for individual tasks, deduces a unified job response from the received responses and transmits the unified response to the client. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20120265574 | CREATING INCENTIVE HIERARCHIES TO ENABLE GROUPS TO ACCOMPLISH GOALS - A job is divided into tasks belonging to various levels in a hierarchy such that the tasks of one level of the hierarchy depend on the performance of the tasks of another level. The divided tasks are assigned to the respondents and, once the respondents' responses have been determined to be sufficiently accurate, the responses are assembled into a final result. The respondents may be rewarded for completion of their assigned tasks, and the rewards may be structured such that the rewards for the completed tasks create an informal hierarchy amongst the respondents. | 10-18-2012 |
