Title:
SECURED ELECTRONIC RATING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1998004083
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A remote communication system for facilitating secure on-line evaluation of goods based upon consumers' satisfaction through electronic media wherein a suitable local user input device in association with a data transmission system, couples the user input to a packet network system for communicating to a remote receiver/decoder apparatus to obtain potentially desired scoring information such as an electronic evaluation form regarding a previously purchased product. Upon selection of scoring option by the user, a telcom network communication link for communicating a telephone number associated with the desired product from the user to the remote receiver allows the user to score the desired product. The telcom connection, linking the user input device to the remote server device may also include a toll-free 800 telephone number system to encourage shoppers to perform evaluations of purchased product without incurring costs associated therewith. During the telcom connection, a buyer identification number may be used to limit rating input to one evaluation per buyer thereby increasing accuracy of product evaluation.
