Abstract:
1. A system for gathering data at a location remote from a central office, the system comprising: a data format receiver for receiving, by a processor, a data format from said central office only when a communications link exists between said system and said central office; a data aggregator for aggregating and storing, by said processor, data gathered by an operator of a mobile computing device into a complete self-contained data package having a format according to said data format received from said central office, said data format comprising a plurality of data nodes having an internal tree structure, said tree structure comprising: a plurality of data input modules for providing, by said processor, data to be entered into said data nodes, at least one of said plurality of said data input modules entering data into a data node upon activation by said operator, and a data transmitter for transmitting, by said processor, said data package to said central office only when said communications link exists; wherein said system operates as part of said mobile computing device, said data format determines which data input modules are to be activated by said operator for entering data into data nodes, said data being sent as a complete data node tree in said self-contained data package; and, nodes internal to said tree structure are used to classify data entered into said data nodes.
