System and method for enhanced shopping, preference, profile and survey data input and gathering

摘要

Systems and methods, implemented with computing devices, enable a human operator to input in software environments degrees of preference for a plurality of products, items or services, in a single swipe or gesture, and values for a plurality of fields of data in a single swipe or gesture. The user performs gestures in software environments, through the interface of a computing device, to move and reposition objects representing products, items or services relative to a rating scale having a predetermined range of preference values, to indicate a degree of preference for each product, item or service. A plurality of objects may be moved and rated in a single gesture. Rating scales may be embedded in virtual environments. Methods included enable a user to input values for a plurality of data fields in a single swipe or gesture, at least in part by selecting or moving objects within a software environment.
