Abstract

A method and system for providing real-time display of data collected and submitted via mobile devices. An example method includes collecting data in a data record by the mobile device. The collected data record is submitted to a remote server. At least some of the data in the collected data record is displayed in real-time relative to the submission of the collected data record via an interface.

Claims

1. A method for displaying real-time data collected from a first mobile device, the method comprising:

collecting data in a first data record by the first mobile device;

submitting the collected first data record to a remote server; and

displaying the collected first data record in real-time relative to the submission of the collected first data record via an interface.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least some of the data in the collected first data record is displayed in a numerical format or a graphical format.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

collecting data in a second data record by a second mobile device,

submitting the collected second data record from the second mobile device to the remote server; and

updating the interface in real-time to incorporate at least some of the data in the collected second data record from the second mobile device.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

collecting data in a second data record by the first mobile device,

submitting the collected second data record from the first mobile device to the remote server; and

updating the interface in real-time to incorporate the at least some of the data in the collected second data record from the first mobile device.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising aggregating the at least some of the data in the first data record with at least some of the data in previously collected data records.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the interface displays the aggregated data from the first data record and the previously collected data records.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the previously collected data records are obtained from a plurality of mobile devices and wherein the interface displays a summary of the data records gathered from the previously collected data records.

10. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

performing a statistical analysis of the at least some of the data in the first data record and the at least some of the data in the previously received data records; and

displaying the statistical analysis on the interface.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the data record relates to performance metrics of the first mobile device.

13. A system of obtaining real-time data from a mobile device, the system comprising:

a first mobile device to collect data in a first data record, the first mobile device including a communication interface;

a remote server in communication with the first mobile device to accept submission of the collected first data record;

an interface in communication with the data server to display at least some of the data in the collected data record in real-time relative to the submission of the collected first data record.

15. The system of claim 13, further comprising a second mobile device to collect data in a second data record, wherein the data server is in communication with the second mobile device to accept submission of the collected second data record, and wherein the interface is updated to display at least some of the data in the collected second data record.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein the first mobile device collects data in a second data record, wherein the data server is in communication with the second mobile device to accept submission of the collected second data record, and wherein the interface is updated to display at least some of the data in the collected second data record.

17. The system of claim 13, wherein the remote server aggregates the at least some of the data in first data record with at least some of the data in previously collected data records.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the previously collected data records are obtained from a plurality of mobile devices and wherein the interface displays a summary of the data records gathered from the previously collected data records.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the server performs a statistical analysis of at least a part of the first data record and at least a part of the previously received data records, and the statistical analysis is displayed on the interface.

20. The system of claim 17, wherein the data record relates to performance metrics of the first mobile device.

14. (canceled)

21. (canceled)

22. An interface to display real-time data from at least one mobile device, the mobile device collecting data and submitting a data record including the data, the interface comprising:

a display showing at least some of the data included in previously submitted data records;

an update mechanism to update the display to include at least some of the data in the data record at the time the data record is submitted.

24. The interface of claim 22, further comprising an aggregation display showing the aggregation of at least some of the data in the data record with at least some of the data included in previously submitted data records.

25. The interface of claim 22, wherein the at least some of the data in the collected first data record is displayed in a numerical format or a graphical format.

23. (canceled)

26. (canceled)

27. (canceled)

28. An article of manufacture for displaying real-time collection of data by at least one mobile device, the article of manufacture comprising:

a computer readable medium; and

a plurality of instructions wherein at least a portion of said plurality of instructions are storable in said computer readable medium, and further wherein said plurality of instructions are configured to cause a processor to;

accept a data record including data collected by a mobile device and submitted by the mobile device;

display at least some of the data in the collected first data record in real-time relative to the submission of the collected first data record.
