Abstract

Example approach is provided for surveys. An example method may include monitoring a location of a user equipment of a public land mobile network to determine when the monitored location corresponds to a survey trigger corresponding to a survey served by a server; sending to the server a request for content of the survey, when the monitored location corresponds to the survey trigger; and receiving, in response to the request, the content of the survey selected in accordance with a context derived from at least the monitored location. Furthermore, the location may include the user'"'"'s general situation as a survey trigger condition to enable survey selection.

Claims

1-28. -28. (canceled)

29. A method comprising:

monitoring a location of a user equipment of a public land mobile network to determine when the monitored location corresponds to a survey trigger corresponding to a survey served by a server;

sending to the server a request for content of the survey, when the monitored location corresponds to the survey trigger; and

receiving, in response to the request, the content of the survey selected in accordance with a context derived from at least the monitored location.

30. The method of claim 29 further comprising:

presenting, at the user equipment, the received content of the survey corresponding to the context.

31. A method of claim 29, wherein the survey trigger comprises at least one of a survey identifier and the location.

32. A method of claim 29 further comprising:

receiving, at the user equipment, a plurality of survey triggers representative of locations to be monitored by the user equipment.

33. A method of claim 29 further comprising:

storing, at the user equipment, a plurality of survey triggers representative of locations to be monitored by the user equipment.

34. A method of claim 29, wherein the sending further comprises:

sending, by the user equipment, the request for the content of the survey, when the monitored location is at least one of at or near the location mapped to the survey trigger.

35. A method of claim 29, wherein the sending further comprises:

sending, by the user equipment, the request comprising at least one of the survey trigger, a survey identifier, and the monitored location of the user equipment.

36. A method of claim 29 further comprising:

determining semantically the context of the user equipment based on at least the monitored location of the user equipment.

37. A method of claim 29, wherein the content comprises at least one of a question and a reward.

38. A method of claim 29 further comprising:

registering the user equipment with the server to obtain surveys based on the context of the user equipment.

39. A method of claim 29, wherein the monitoring further comprises:

receiving, at the user equipment, information representative of the location of the user equipment.

40. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including code which when executed by the at least one processor provides operations comprising;

monitoring a location of the apparatus comprising a user equipment of a public land mobile network to determine when the monitored location corresponds to a survey trigger corresponding to a survey served by a server;

sending to the server a request for content of the survey, when the monitored location corresponds to the survey trigger; and

receiving, in response to the request, the content of the survey selected in accordance with a context derived from at least the monitored location.

41. An apparatus of claim 40 further comprising:

presenting, at the user equipment, the received content of the survey corresponding to the context.

42. An apparatus of claim 40, wherein the survey trigger comprises at least one of a survey identifier and the location.

43. An apparatus of claim 40 further comprising:

receiving, at the user equipment, a plurality of survey triggers representative of locations to be monitored by the user equipment.

44. An apparatus of claim 40 further comprising:

storing, at the user equipment, a plurality of survey triggers representative of locations to be monitored by the user equipment.

45. An apparatus of claim 40, wherein the sending further comprises:

sending, by the user equipment, the request for the content of the survey, when the monitored location is at least one of at or near the location mapped to the survey trigger.

46. An apparatus of claim 40, wherein the sending further comprises:

sending, by the user equipment, the request comprising at least one of the survey trigger, a survey identifier, and the monitored location of the user equipment.

47. An apparatus of claim 40 further comprising:

determining semantically the context of the user equipment based on at least the monitored location of the user equipment.

48. An apparatus of claim 40, wherein the content comprises at least one of a question and a reward.

49. An apparatus of claim 40 further comprising:

registering the user equipment with the server to obtain surveys based on the context of the user equipment.

50. An apparatus of claim 40, wherein the monitoring further comprises:

receiving, at the user equipment, information representative of the location of the user equipment.
