Claims

1. A storage medium storing a questionnaire answer program to be executed by a computer of a questionnaire answer apparatus communicably connected with a questionnaire delivery apparatus for delivering questionnaire data, an answer accepting apparatus for accepting answer data of a questionnaire, and a result delivery apparatus for delivering count result data of a questionnaire,

said questionnaire answer program causes said computer to execute:

a user data creating step for creating user data and storing the user data in a storing means,

a questionnaire data receiving step for receiving questionnaire data from said questionnaire delivery apparatus,

an answer data creating step for creating questionnaire answering data for each plurality of user data by presenting a questionnaire to a user by utilizing the questionnaire data received by said questionnaire data receiving step and accepting answers to the questionnaire for each plurality of user data created by said user data creating step,

an answer data transmitting step for transmitting said questionnaire answering data created by said answer data creating step to said answer accepting apparatus,

a count result data receiving step for receiving count result data from said result delivery apparatus, and

a count result presenting step for presenting a counting result to a user on the basis of the count result data received by said count result data receiving step.

2. A storage medium storing a questionnaire answer program according to claim 1, wherein

said questionnaire answer program causes the computer to further execute

a user data erasing step for erasing said user data from said storing means, and

an erasure prohibiting step for prohibiting erasure of the user data by said user data erasing step when a user corresponding to said user data makes an answer to a questionnaire indicated by said questionnaire data.

3. A storage medium storing a questionnaire answer program according to claim 2, wherein

said questionnaire answer program causes said computer to execute a user data selecting step for selecting said user data to be erased by said user data erasing step.

4. A storage medium storing a questionnaire answer program according to claim 3, wherein

said erasure prohibiting step excludes said user data from a candidate to be selected by said user selecting step when the user corresponding to said user data makes an answer to the questionnaire indicated by said questionnaire data.

5. A storage medium storing a questionnaire answer program according to claim 2, wherein

said questionnaire answer program causes said computer to execute a cancelling step for canceling the prohibition of the erasure by said erasure prohibiting step when said user data satisfies a predetermined condition.

6. A storage medium storing a questionnaire answer program according to claim 5, wherein

said questionnaire answer program causes said computer to further execute a count result data reception determining step for determining whether or not count result data corresponding to said questionnaire answering data is received by said count result data receiving step, and

said predetermined condition includes a fact that count result data corresponding to said questionnaire answering data is received by said count result data receiving step.

7. A storage medium storing a questionnaire answer program according to claim 5, wherein

said questionnaire data receiving step receives a plurality of kinds of questionnaire data,

said questionnaire answer program causes said computer to further execute a count result data reception determining step for determining whether or not count result data corresponding to all said questionnaire answering data is received by said count result data receiving step, and

said predetermined condition includes a fact that the count result data corresponding to all said questionnaire answering data is received by said count result data receiving step.

8. A storage medium storing a questionnaire answer program according to claim 1, wherein

said user data includes history information indicating that a questionnaire indicated by the questionnaire data is answered.

9. A storage medium storing a questionnaire answer program according to claim 8, wherein

said questionnaire answer program causes said computer to further execute an answer prohibiting step for prohibiting an answer to a questionnaire corresponding to questionnaire data indicating that an answer is made in said history information.

10. A storage medium storing a questionnaire answer program according to claim 1, wherein

said user data creating step creates user data in a range below a predetermined number.
