Abstract:
1. An interface creation system for creating interfaces customized for data collection instances, said system comprising: an interface design server configured to automatically generate data collection user interfaces for data collection instances based upon designer provided parameters, wherein each data collection user interfaces is generated from one of a plurality of pre-defined user interface templates corresponding to a plurality of user interface types, wherein said parameters are entered into fields of an interface design application, and wherein said parameters include look and feel parameters, runtime behavior parameters, and logistics parameters; a deployment server for serving data collection interfaces generated by the interface design server to a plurality of remotely located data providers over a network connection, wherein the data providers are each sent a message requesting them to participate in the data collection instance as served by the deployment server using the data collection interfaces; a data store in which data provided by the data providers is automatically stored by the deployment server, wherein said stored data is automatically analyzed, and wherein said analyzed data is provided to a data collection agent; and wherein each of said interface types is integrated with a type specific backend component, wherein said interfaces types include at least one interface type selected from a group consisting of a basic Web interface type, a Web interface type with an embedded Web page, a Web interface type with an uniform resource locator (URL) input field, a speech user interface type, and a multi-modal interface type.
