1. A method for managing data including the steps of:
- (a) creating a questionnaire comprising a series of questions;
(b) tokenizing said questionnaire;
thereby producing a plurality of tokens representing said questionnaire;
(c) establishing a first wireless modem or wireless LAN network connection with a remote computing device;
(d) transmitting said plurality of tokens to a remote computing device via said first wireless modem or wireless LAN network connection;
(e) terminating said first wireless modem or wireless LAN network connection with said remote computing device;
(f) after said first wireless modem or wireless LAN network connection is terminated, executing at least a portion of said plurality of tokens representing said questionnaire at said remote computing device to collect a response from a user;
(g) establishing a second wireless modem or wireless LAN network connection between said remote computing device and a server;
(h) after said second wireless modem or wireless LAN network connection is established, transmitting at least a portion of said response from the user to said server via said second wireless modem or wireless LAN network connection; and
(i) storing said transmitted response at said server.

Abstract
A method for the management of data collected from a remote computing device including the steps of: creating a questionnaire; transmitting the questionnaire to a remote computer; executing the questionnaire in the remote computer to prompt a user for responses to questions of the questionnaire; transmitting the responses to a sever via a network; making the responses available on the Web. Preferably, computers used in connection with the inventive method are loosely networked in that network connections between computers are not always available and, when a connection is not available, data is stored at a node of the network and transmitted at the earliest time when a connection is available. In one preferred embodiment, the inventive method is used to collect survey data and to make the responses to the survey available to a client in virtually real time over the Internet.

8. A method for managing data transfers between computers including the steps of:
-
(a) creating a questionnaire at a first site in a first computer; (b) tokenizing said questionnaire, thereby producing a tokenized questionnaire; (c) bringing a remote computer into electronic communication with said first computer; (d) transmitting said tokenized questionnaire to said remote computer; (e) removing said remote computer from electronic communication with said first computer; (f) within said remote computer, using said transmitted tokenized questionnaire to obtain at least one user response; (g) storing said at least one user response within said remote computer; (h) modifying said questionnaire with incremental changes at a second computer located at a second site; (i) placing said remote computer into electrical communication with said second computer; (j) transmitting said incremental changes from said second computer to said remote computer; (k) modifying said transmitted tokenized questionnaire in said remote computer with said incremental changes, thereby creating a modified tokenized questionnaire; (1) removing said remote computer from electronic communication with said second computer; (m) within said remote computer, using said modified tokenized questionnaire to obtain at least one additional user response; (n) placing said remote computer into electronic communication with a server; (o) transmitting said at least one user response to said server; (p) transmitting said at least one additional user response to said server; (q) storing said transmitted at least one user response and said at least one additional user response at said server; (r) preparing a report using any of said at least one user response and said at least one additional user response; and
,(s) displaying at least a portion of said report on a visually perceptible medium; (t) performing at least steps (d)-(p) using at least two different remote computing device types using the same tokens. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A method for collecting survey data from a user comprising the steps of:
-
(a) creating a questionnaire comprising a series of questions; (b) tokenizing said questionnaire;
thereby producing a plurality of tokens representing said questionnaire;(c) storing said plurality of tokens on a computer readable medium on a first computer; (d) placing a handheld remote computing device into electronic communication with said first computer; (e) transmitting said plurality of tokens to said handheld remote computing device; (f) taking said handheld remote computing device out of electronic communication with said first computer; (g) after said handheld remote computing device has been taken out of electronic communication with said first computer, (g1) executing at least a portion of said plurality of tokens representing said questionnaire on said handheld remote computing device to collect a response from a user, and, (g2) storing within said remote computing device said response from the user; (h) placing said handheld remote computing device into electronic communication with a second computer; (i) transmitting at least a portion of said response stored within said handheld remote computing device to said second computer; and
,(j) forming a visually perceptible report from any of said at least a portion of said response so transmitted. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
