Situational awareness and electronic survey system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, from a requesting device by a network device comprising a processor, a situational awareness request associated with target mobile devices;
receiving, from the requesting device by the network device, security identifier data;
accessing, by the network device, security rules;
comparing, by the network device, the security identifier data to the security rules;
based on the comparison of the security identifier data to the security rules, providing, to the requesting device by the network device, situational awareness data comprising personal data statistics associated with the target mobile devices;
receiving, from the requesting device by the network device, survey request data representative of a survey request for an electronic survey identifying one or more of a demographic profile of interest and a topical area of interest;
receiving, from the requesting device by the network device, a target demographic objective associated with the survey request data;
sending, by the network device, the survey request data to selected mobile devices of the target mobile devices;
receiving, by the network device, survey results comprising initial response data associated with the survey request data from responding mobile devices of the selected mobile devices;
iteratively identifying, by the network device, narrowed target mobile devices and sending the survey request data to selected mobile devices of the narrowed target mobile devices to converge the survey results toward the target demographic objective as additional responses to the survey request data are received;
in response to determining, by the network device, that the target demographic objective has been satisfied, sending electronic survey report data, representative of an electronic survey report associated with the survey results, to the requesting device.

Abstract
A situational awareness and communication system that receives a request for situational awareness information from a requesting device associated with a requester. The situational awareness request includes a geographic area of interest and one or more of a demographic profile of interest and a topical area of interest. The system also receives real-time geographic location data reported by mobile communication devices associated with potential respondents and one or more of demographic data and topical area of interest data reported by the communication devices or obtained from social media files associated with the potential respondents located within the geographic area of interest. The system provides the situational awareness information to the requesting device including demographic statistics for potential respondents located within the geographic area of interest.

8. A computer storage medium storing non-transient computer readable instructions for causing a network device comprising a processor to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving from a requesting device a survey request for an electronic survey identifying target mobile devices and one or more of a demographic profile of interest and a topical area of interest; receiving from the requesting device a target demographic objective associated with the survey request; sending the survey request to selected mobile devices of the target mobile devices; receiving survey results comprising initial responses to the survey request from responding mobile devices of the selected mobile devices; iteratively identifying narrowed target mobile devices and sending the survey request to selected mobile devices of the narrowed target mobile devices to converge the survey results toward the target demographic objective as additional responses to the survey request are received; in response to determining that the target demographic objective has been satisfied, sending an electronic survey report associated with the survey results to the requesting device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
