Acquiring, storing, and correlating profile data of cellular mobile communications system's users to events
First Claim
1. A method for collecting and associating profile data of a cellular mobile communications system device'"'"'s user to the cellular mobile communications system device'"'"'s events, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) collecting said profile data, including the cellular mobile communications system device'"'"'s cellular phone number, via a form displayed upon a standard web browser of the cellular mobile communications system device'"'"'s user'"'"'s computer, said form retrieved from the information requesting entity'"'"'s website;
b) sending a message to the cellular mobile communications system device'"'"'s cellular phone number addressed to the user, said message, when responded to, causing a downloading of a device metering software module to the cellular mobile communications system'"'"'s device; and

Abstract
A system to collect personal and demographic data from user'"'"'s of cellular mobile communications system devices. This system uses a standard web browser to collect the personal and demographic data instead of the device itself because of the limited interactive experience available to cellular mobile communications system device users. After obtaining data from the user including the user'"'"'s cellular mobile communications system device'"'"'s cellular phone number, a message is sent to the device. When a link is the message is activated a small event collection data software module is downloaded to the cellular mobile communications system device. The return message to the data collection entity incorporates the cellular mobile communications system device'"'"'s International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) number. This number then ties the event data collected by the module to the personal and demographic information collected from the cellular mobile communications system device user.
