Abstract

The present invention concerns a system and method for assigning a number of terms (1.4, 1.5) and objects that are on at least two levels (1.1, 1.2) on a mobile device (3) of a user. Through this knowledge, the perception of the corresponding terms and objects is additionally promoted. Thanks to the system and method described here, terms (1.4, 1.5) from different valuation levels are presented to the user who has to assign them. These terms (1.4, 1.5) can only be assigned if the user has sufficient information about the terms (1.4, 1.5). The result of the assignment product (4) is thus a measure of the knowledge of the user in question. Companies and organization can use this system and method to determine their degree of awareness and, through suitable incentives for the users, massively increase their name recognition respectively that of their products and/or services by increasing the specific perception.

Claims

1. Method for assigning terms and objects, which are on at least two levels, on a mobile device of a user, having the following method steps:

(a) the individual terms are assigned by a system provider to a level and the at least two levels are delivered to the mobile device,

(b) the user establishes on his mobile device at least one assignment product of the terms and objects of a first level to the terms and objects of a second level, and

(c) the assignment product established by the user from the terms and objects of the at least two levels is transmitted from the mobile device of the user to the system provider for evaluation.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is connected over a mobile radio network and/or the Internet with the server of the system provider.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the user loads on his mobile device an applet or an executable software that communicates with the system provider and receives the terms and delivers the generated assignment product to the system provider.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the user chooses from which topic he wishes to receive terms.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the method occurs interactively and an assignment product of a single assignment from a term of one level with a term of another level is transmitted to the system provider for evaluation.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the number of terms of the different levels is different.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the terms of at least two levels are selected by the system provider as subset from a set, each containing a similarly large number of terms.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the individual terms are selected and assigned user-specifically by a system provider each from one level and delivered to the mobile device of the individual user.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein in a recording process for generating the assignment products a timeout is used for limiting the recording time.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the terms concern logos, word marks, brand names, product designations, sound/audio marks, texts, images, video sequences, audio files and terms from this realm of senses.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the terms include regional, national and/or international product terms.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the product provider registers with the system provider and supplies terms to a system provider.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein after a successful assignment product, the user receives a voucher for a price reduction for a product of a product provider.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the user receives a voucher from a billing account of the mobile device or special conditions for using the mobile device.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the user receives advertising from at least one product provider.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the terms of the levels are indicated in the user'"'"'s own language.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein users can retrieve additional information about the terms of the levels.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein users can trigger orders in connection with the terms of the levels.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein in the case of multiple querying of assignable terms by the same user, a different combination of terms of the levels is supplied to the user.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is provided with an identification module and has a MSISDN, an IMEI and an IMSI, the IMEI, the IMSI of the mobile device, a system password or another user recognition for establishing and evaluating the assignment products.

21. A system for executing the method of claim 1, comprising:

(a) a server and the users'"'"' mobile devices connected to the server,

(b) means on the server for assigning individual terms to a level,

(c) means on the server that deliver at least two levels with assigned terms to a mobile device,

(d) means on the mobile device for establishing an assignment product of the terms of a first level to the terms of a second level, and

(d) means on the mobile device for transmitting the established assignment product from the terms of at least two levels from the mobile device of the user to the server for evaluation.

22. The system of claim 21, wherein the means on the mobile device for generating an assignment product from the terms of a first level to the terms of a second level is a software in the form of a client or applet.

23. The system of claim 21, wherein the means for generating the assignment product for the mobile devices are interactive with the server of the system provider.

24. The system of claim 21, wherein the mobile device is connected over a mobile radio network and/or the Internet with the server.

25. The system of claim 21, wherein the mobile devices are mobile telephones that communicate with a GSM network, UMTS network or WLAN.

26. The system of claim 21, wherein the terms concern logos, word marks, brand names, product designations, sound/audio marks, texts, images, video sequences, audio files and terms from this realm of senses.

27. The system of claim 21, wherein the terms include regional, national and/or international product terms.

28. The system of claim 21, wherein the product provider registers with the system provider and supplies terms to a system provider.

29. The system of claim 21, wherein means are provided in the mobile device for retrieving additional information about represented terms of the levels and for triggering product orders.

30. The system of claim 21, wherein the server has means for indicating the terms of the levels in the user'"'"'s own language.
