System and method for questionnaires and user interactions with a plurality of mobile device recipients
First Claim
1. A method performed by a system comprising a server communicatively coupled wirelessly to a plurality of mobile devices, the server comprising a processor, memory and storage, wherein each of the plurality of mobile devices comprise a corresponding mobile display, mobile processor and mobile memory, the method comprising:
- creating a video input on one of the plurality of mobile devices and communicating it to the server to be distributed as part of a questionnaire;
receiving, by the server, the questionnaire created on the one of the plurality of mobile devices by a corresponding pre-registered user;
analyzing, by the server, the questionnaire and the video input;
modifying the questionnaire, by the server, as needed;
distributing, by the server, the modified questionnaire with the video input, to a list of recipients for display and sharing, wherein the list of recipients corresponds to at least one of the plurality of mobile devices;
wherein the server selectively communicates a notification to the list of recipients providing information on the questionnaire and selectively conducts billing;
wherein the list of recipients for the questionnaire is specified by picking one or more recipients from a contact list, by identifying a mailing list or by identifying a list of phone numbers; and
receiving, by the server, a user response or feedback from the at least one of the plurality of mobile devices.

Abstract
A questionnaire system in which a mobile device is used by user to create questionnaires and send it to other recipients. The questionnaire is created by user of a mobile device using audio inputs for a questionnaire preamble and question preambles. A server in the network incorporates other generic portions of the questionnaire as necessary. Thus, a user can make adhoc questionnaires, send them to recipients and receive the results provided by the recipients from their respective mobile devices.
