Description

Procédé et système d'élection, en mode ouvert. Method and system of election, in open mode.
La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système d'élection et/ou de sélection, en mode ouvert.The present invention relates to a method and system of election and / or selection in an open mode.
Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un procédé d'élection et/ou de sélection, en mode ouvert, par une première population de personnes, d'au moins une personne choisie parmi une seconde population de personnes et/ou d'au moins un objet, un animal ou une plante choisie parmi un ensemble d'objets, d'animaux, ou de plantes présentés par ladite seconde population de personnes. Le procédé selon l'invention est qualifié d'ouvert en ce sens que les personnes de la première population de personnes qui désirent participer à l'élection et/ou à la sélection sont entièrement libres de le faire et ne sont inscrites sur aucune liste préalablement à leur vote. De même, les personnes qui appartiennent à la seconde population de personnes et qui se présentent à une élection ou qui présentent un objet, un animal ou une plante au choix sélectif des personnes de la première population de personnes sont totalement libres de leur candidature et ne sont inscrites sur aucune liste préalablement à leur désir d'être candidat.More particularly, the invention relates to a method of election and / or selection, in open mode, by a first population of people, of at least one person chosen from a second population of people and / or of at least one object, an animal or a plant chosen from a set of objects, animals, or plants presented by said second population of people. The method according to the invention is described as open in the sense that people from the first population of people who wish to participate in the election and / or selection are entirely free to do so and are not registered on any list beforehand. to their vote. Similarly, people who belong to the second population of people and who stand for election or who present an object, an animal or a plant to the selective choice of people from the first population of people are completely free to stand and do not are registered on any list prior to their desire to be a candidate.
Une pulsion naturelle conduit certains d'entre nous à recueillir les suffrages des autres pour des caractéristiques physiques, intellectuelles et/ou morales qui nous paraissent dignes d'intérêt et dont nous souhaitons faire bénéficier les autres. De même, une pulsion naturelle nous conduit à porter un jugement sur les caractéristiques physiques, intellectuelles et/ou morales de personnes qui se présentent à nous. Ces pulsions concernent également des objets (notamment pris au sens large des monuments, des lieux et/ou des événements historiques), des animaux et/ou des plantes. Selon le cas, nous recherchons auprès des autres une adhésion à nos choix ou nous souhaitons faire connaître aux autres notre opinion sur les choix qui nous sont proposés.A natural impulse leads some of us to collect the votes of others for physical, intellectual and / or moral characteristics which seem worthy of interest and which we wish to benefit others. Likewise, a natural impulse leads us to pass judgment on the physical, intellectual and / or moral characteristics of people who present themselves to us. These impulses also relate to objects (notably taken in the broad sense of monuments, places and / or historical events), animals and / or plants. Depending on the case, we seek from others a commitment to our choices or we wish to make known to others our opinion on the choices that are offered to us.
Les techniques actuelles permettant de faire acte de candidature et/ou de faire connaître ses choix passent par des supports papiers, dont la diffusion longue et coûteuse ne s'applique pas à la satisfaction d'une pulsion spontanée. En outre, ces techniques impliquent un contexte public, alors que certains choix et/ou certaines candidatures s'exprimeraient plus librement si elles pouvaient être effectués à partir de lieux plus intimes tels que le domicile personnel ou le lieu de travail.The current techniques allowing to apply and / or to make known one's choices go through paper supports, whose long and costly distribution does not apply to the satisfaction of a spontaneous drive. In addition, these techniques imply a public context, while certain choices and / or some candidates would express themselves more freely if they could be made from more intimate places such as the personal home or the workplace.
Le procédé selon la présente invention a pour objet d'apporter une solution technique à ce problème. Sa mise en oeuvre industrielle permet notamment d'apporter une contribution à la communication des opinions et des idées. Selon l'invention, les personnes appartenant à ladite première population de personnes disposent chacune d'une interface graphique interactive comportant des organes de calcul et de commande. Ces organes de calcul et de commande sont utilisés pour actionner, de manière connue en soi, des icônes apparaissant sur l'interface interactive.The method according to the present invention is to to provide a technical solution to this problem. Its industrial implementation makes it possible in particular to make a contribution to the communication of opinions and ideas. According to the invention, the persons belonging to said first population of persons each have an interactive graphic interface comprising calculation and control members. These calculation and control bodies are used to activate, in a manner known per se, icons appearing on the interactive interface.
Le procédé selon l'invention comprend l'étape d'établir une liste des personnes volontaires appartenant à la seconde population de personnes et/ou une liste des objets, des animaux ou des plantes présentés par les personnes de ladite seconde population de personnes.The method according to the invention comprises the step of establishing a list of volunteer people belonging to the second population of people and / or a list of objects, animals or plants presented by the people of said second population of people.
Le procédé selon l'invention comprend en outre l'étape de porter lesdites listes à la connaissance des personnes de la première population personnes. Ces listes apparaissent sur les interfaces interactives dont elles disposent de telle sorte que chacune d'entre elles peut, si elle le désire, participer à l'élection et/ou à la sélection des personnes et/ou des objets, des animaux ou des plantes mentionnées sur lesdites listes.The method according to the invention further comprises the step of bringing said lists to the attention of the persons of the first population of persons. These lists appear on the interactive interfaces available to them so that each of them can, if they wish, participate in the election and / or selection of people and / or objects, animals or plants. mentioned on said lists.
Le procédé selon l'invention comprend en outre l'étape de visualiser sur l'interface graphique dont dispose chacune des personnes appartenant à la première population personnes les caractéristiques, notamment les caractéristiques physiques, des personnes candidates (par exemple leur visage, leur silhouette, leurs attitudes). Sur l'interface interactive apparaît également une représentation graphique des objets, des animaux ou des plantes mentionnées sur lesdites listes. Le procédé selon l'invention comprend en outre l'étape d'activer sur l'interface graphique dont dispose chacune des personnes appartenant à la première population personnes les icônes correspondant aux choix proposés. Ces icônes peuvent se présenter sous la forme de dessins symboliques ou de textes en clair. Lesdites icônes sont actionnées, au moyen desdits organes de commande, par les personnes de la première population de personnes ayant décidé de participer au vote et/ou à la sélection, conformément à leur choix. Le procédé selon l'invention comprend en outre l'étape de déterminer la personne élue et/ou l'objet, l'animal ou la plante sélectionnée en fonction des icônes actionnées au moyen desdits organes de commande. Ainsi par exemple, on peut décompter le nombre de fois où l'icône correspondant à un candidat a été actionnée. Le candidat dont l'icône a été actionnée le plus grand nombre de fois est élu. D'autres modes de scrutin, d'autres règlements peuvent être adoptés sans sortir du champ de la présente invention.The method according to the invention further comprises the step of visualizing on the graphical interface available to each of the persons belonging to the first population of persons the characteristics, in particular the physical characteristics, of the candidate persons (for example their face, their silhouette, their attitudes). The interactive interface also shows a graphic representation of the objects, animals or plants mentioned on the said lists. The method according to the invention further comprises the step of activating on the graphical interface available to each of the persons belonging to the first population of persons the icons corresponding to the choices offered. These icons may be in the form of symbolic drawings or plain text. Said icons are actuated, by means of said control members, by the people of the first population of people who have decided to participate in the voting and / or the selection, in accordance with their choice. The method according to the invention further comprises the step of determining the elected person and / or the object, the animal or the plant selected according to the icons actuated by means of said control members. For example, we can count the number of times the icon corresponding to a candidate has been pressed. The candidate whose icon has been pressed the most times is elected. Other voting methods, other regulations can be adopted without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Avantageusement, le procédé selon l'invention comprend en outre l'étape d'attribuer une récompense aux personnes de la première population de personnes ayant porté leur choix sur la personne de la seconde population de personnes qui a été élue et/ou sur l'objet, l'animal ou la plante qui ont été sélectionnés. Le procédé selon l'invention permet en effet de relever, pour les personnes de la première population de personnes qui le souhaitent, leurs coordonnées. Il est ainsi possible d'identifier les personnes de la première population personnes qui ont porté leur choix sur la personne de la seconde population de personnes qui a été élue et/ou sur l'objet, l'animai ou la plante qui ont été sélectionnés. Par conséquent, il est possible de faire parvenir à ces personnes une contrepartie récompensant leur participation au choix du candidat. Un tel mécanisme a pour effet d'inciter un plus grand nombre de personnes à participer au processus d'élection ou au processus de sélection d'un objet, d'un animal et/ou d'une plante. De préférence, dans le cas des objets, des animaux ou des plantes, la personne ayant fait connaître son choix au moyen de l'interface graphique actionnée par l'organe de commande, peut émettre au moyen d'un clavier associé à l'interface graphique, une enchère. La personne qui a émis la plus forte enchère devient alors propriétaire de l'objet, de l'animal ou de la plante. La présente invention concerne également un système d'élection, en mode ouvert, par une première population de personnes, d'au moins une personne choisie parmi une seconde population de personnes. La présente invention concerne également un système de sélection, en mode ouvert, par une première population de personnes, d'au moins un objet, un animal ou une plante choisie parmi un ensemble d'objets, d'animaux, ou de plantes présentés par ladite seconde population de personnes.Advantageously, the method according to the invention further comprises the step of allocating a reward to the persons of the first population of persons having chosen their choice on the person of the second population of persons who has been elected and / or on the object, animal or plant that has been selected. The method according to the invention in fact makes it possible to record, for the people of the first population of people who wish it, their coordinates. It is thus possible to identify the people from the first population who have chosen their choice from the person from the second population of people who has been elected and / or the object, animal or plant that has been selected. . Consequently, it is possible to send these people a consideration rewarding their participation in the choice of the candidate. The effect of such a mechanism is to encourage more people to participate in the election process or in the process of selecting an object, an animal and / or a plant. Preferably, in the case of objects, animals or plants, the person who made known his choice using the GUI operated by the control member, may issue through a keyboard associated with the interface graphic, an auction. The person who issued the highest bid then becomes the owner of the object, animal or plant. The present invention also relates to an election system, in opened, by a first population of people, of at least one person chosen from a second population of people. The present invention also relates to a selection system, in open mode, by a first population of people, of at least one object, an animal or a plant chosen from a set of objects, animals, or plants presented by said second population of people.
Les personnes de ladite première population de personnes disposent chacune d'une interface graphique interactive comportant des organes de calcul et de commande pour actionner des icônes apparaissant sur l'interface interactive.

Les personnes I, la, lb, le, ld qui ont décidé de participer à l'élection de "Miss Internet" disposent chacune d'une interface graphique interactive 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d comportant des organes de calcul 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d et de commande 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d pour actionner des icônes 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d apparaissant sur l'interface graphique interactive 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d. Chaque interface graphique interactive II, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d est connectée, via le réseau de communication 8, 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d au serveur 7. Ainsi la liste des candidates 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d et les données les concernant peuvent être transmises aux interfaces interactives 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d des personnes I, la, lb, le, ld qui en font la demande. Les interfaces graphiques interactives 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d comportent des moyens de visualisation pour visualiser 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d les caractéristiques, notamment les caractéristiques physiques, des candidates 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d (leur visage, leur silhouette).The people I, la, lb, le, ld who decided to take part in the election of "Miss Internet" each have an interactive graphical interface 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d comprising computing organs 4a, 4b, 4c , 4d and control 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d to activate icons 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d appearing on the interactive graphical interface 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d. Each interactive graphical interface II, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d is connected, via the communication network 8, 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d to the server 7. Thus the list of candidates 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d and the data concerning can be transmitted to the interactive interfaces 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d of the people I, la, lb, le, ld who request it. The interactive graphical interfaces 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d include visualization means for visualizing 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d the characteristics, in particular the physical characteristics, of the candidates 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d (their face, their silhouette).
Le serveur 7 comprend des seconds moyens de calcul 7b pour activer sur l'interface graphique 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d les icônes 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d correspondant aux choix proposés, lors des phases d'élection et/ou de sélection. Par exemple, les seconds moyens de calcul 7b peuvent activer une icône se présentant sous la forme de deux boules, l'une noire, l'autre blanche. Les icônes 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d sont actionnées, au moyen desdits organes de commande 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, par les personnes I, la, lb, le, ld qui ont décidé de participer au vote, conformément à leur choix. Ainsi, si la personne la a décidé d'apporter son soutien à la candidate 2b dont il a la représentation graphique 9a sur son interface graphique interactive 3a, il utilise sa souris 5a pour cliquer sur la boule blanche de l'icône 6a. Les icônes 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d peuvent également se présenter sous la forme de tableurs dans lesquels les personnes participant à l'élection peuvent entrer des notes au moyen du clavier 5a, selon différents critères fixés par le règlement tels que : appréciation du visage, de la silhouette, de la présence, etc. ...The server 7 comprises second calculation means 7b for activating on the graphical interface 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d the icons 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d corresponding to the choices offered, during the election and / or selection phases. For example, second computing means 7b can activate an icon in the form of two balls, one black, the other white. The icons 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d are actuated, by means of said control members 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, by the people I, la, lb, le, ld who have decided to participate in the vote, in accordance with their choice . Thus, if the person has decided to support the candidate 2b of which he has the graphical representation 9a on his interactive graphical interface 3a, he uses his mouse 5a to click on the white ball of the icon 6a. The icons 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d can also appear in the form of spreadsheets in which the people participating in the election can enter notes using the keyboard 5a, according to different criteria set by the regulations such as: appreciation of the face , silhouette, presence, etc. ...
Les choix et notations des participants à l'élection sont transmis au serveur 7 par le réseau de communication informatique 8, 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d.The choices and ratings of the participants in the election are transmitted to the server 7 by the computer communication network 8, 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d.
Le serveur 7 comprend des troisièmes moyens de calcul 7c pour déterminer la personne élue 2b en fonction des icônes 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d actionnées au moyen desdits organes de commandes 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d. Par exemple, le règlement peut prévoir les clés de pondération applicables aux notes entrées dans les tableurs- icônes 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d. Les moyens de calcul 7c appliquent ces barèmes pour déterminer le score de chaque candidate 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d. Le serveur 7 comportant en outre des moyens informatiques 7d pour dresser la liste des personnes II, la, lb, le, ld qui ont porté leur choix sur la personne 2b qui a été élue. Ainsi, si ces personnes ont accepté de communiquer leurs coordonnées, elles recevront une récompense pour avoir participer au vote et fait le bon choix. Dans d'autres variantes de réalisation, le système selon l'invention peut être mis en oeuvre pour sélectionner un objet, un animal ou une plante. Dans le cas représenté sur la figure 1, on a considéré le cas où les personnes 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d ont présenté à un concours une plante 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d (notamment une orchidée) ayant leur préférence. De la même manière que dans le cas de l'élection de "Miss Internet", les caractéristiques de cette plante, sa représentation graphique 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d a été transmise par liaison Internet sur les interfaces graphique 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d des personnes la, lb, le, ld participant à la sélection de la plante qui doit être couronnée. Au terme d'un processus comparable à celui qui a été décrit en se référant à l'élection de "Miss Internet" une des plantes présentées, par exemple la plante 15c, atteint le score le plus élevé et reçoit le premier prix.The server 7 comprises third calculation means 7c for determining the elected person 2b as a function of the icons 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d actuated by means of said control members 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d. For example, the regulations may provide the weighting keys applicable to the notes entered in the icon spreadsheets 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d. The calculation means 7c apply these scales to determine the score of each candidate 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d. The server 7 further comprising computer means 7d for drawing up the list of people II, la, lb, le, ld who have chosen the person 2b who has been elected. Thus, if these people have agreed to provide their contact details, they will receive a reward for participating in the vote and making the right choice. In other alternative embodiments, the system according to the invention can be used to select an object, an animal or a plant. In the case shown in Figure 1, we considered the case where people 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d presented in a competition a plant 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d (including an orchid) having their preference. In the same way as in the case of the election of "Miss Internet", the characteristics of this plant, its graphic representation 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d has been transmitted by Internet link on the graphical interfaces 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d of the people la, lb, le, ld participating in the selection of the plant to be crowned. At the end of a process comparable to that which has been described with reference to the election of "Miss Internet", one of the plants presented, for example the plant 15c, reaches the highest score and receives the first prize.
Simultanément à ce processus de sélection ou indépendamment de celui-ci, un mécanisme d'enchères peut être mis en place. A cette fin, pour émettre leurs enchères à destination du serveur 7, les personnes la, lb, le, ld utilisent les claviers 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d associés aux interfaces graphiques interactives 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d. La personne qui a émis la plus forte enchère devient propriétaire de l'objet, de l'animal ou de la plante ainsi mise en vente. De préférence, pour avoir le droit de porter une enchère, les personnes la, lb, le, ld doivent acquitter au centre serveur, de manière connue en soi (par exemple en utilisant les techniques du commerce électronique à distance), une somme forfaitaire prédéterminée pour chaque enchère. Simultaneously with this selection process or independently of it, an auction mechanism can be set up. To this end, to issue their bids to the server 7, the people la, lb, le, ld use the keyboards 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d associated with the interactive graphic interfaces 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d. The person who issued the highest bid becomes the owner of the object, animal or plant thus put up for sale. Preferably, to have the right to bid, people la, lb, le, ld must pay the host center, in a manner known per se (for example by using remote electronic commerce techniques), a predetermined lump sum for each auction.
