Abstract
A method and system for gathering consumer feedback and information based at least in part on location data relating to movement of a consumer. A method and system are provided for gathering opinions and feedback from and having interactions with consumers to collect consumer responses to tasks requested by the system. The system may request that a consumer perform a task based on an analysis of the electronically-derived consumer location data as well as previously captured opinions and feedback. In addition, location-derived insights can be used to segment and further inform and refine the information gathered from consumers.

35. A method of determining, based on location data, whether to solicit information relating to commercial activity, the method comprising:
-
receiving, over a period of time, a plurality of units of location data, the plurality of units of location data identifying a plurality of locations of the plurality of consumers at a plurality of times, the plurality of units of location data comprising multiple measurements of a physical location of a first consumer; analyzing the plurality of units of location data and producing a result of the analysis; determining, using at least one processor, whether the result of the analysis satisfies a condition for information to be solicited; and in response to determining that the result satisfies the condition, sending at least one message to a consumer soliciting information relating to commercial activity of the first consumer. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)

47. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one storage medium having encoded thereon executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out a method of processing a plurality of units of location data for a plurality of consumers to determine whether to solicit information relating to commercial activity, the location data identifying a plurality of locations of the plurality of consumers at a plurality of times, the method comprising; determining, using at least one processor and based at least in part on the plurality of units of location data for the plurality of consumers, at least one behavior for one or more of the plurality of consumers; and in response to determining that the at least one behavior satisfies at least one condition to solicit the information, sending at least one message to a consumer soliciting information relating to commercial activity. - View Dependent Claims (48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)

-
obtaining a plurality of units of location data, each of the plurality of units of location data indicating a location of a consumer determined as the consumer moved while engaging in at least one behavior; transmitting the plurality of units of location data to at least one server; receiving, from the at least one server, at least one message soliciting information relating to commercial activity, the at least one message having been transmitted by the at least one server at least partly in response to the at least one server determining the at least one behavior of the consumer based at least in part on the plurality of units of location data; receiving, from the consumer via a user interface of the portable computing device, the information solicited by the at least one message; and transmitting the information received from the consumer to the at least one server. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67)
