An approach is provided that transmit a first set survey questions to a user with each of the first set questions corresponding to a primary survey goal. Survey answers are then received from the user. A cognitive system is then used to determining an affinity level between the user and the primary survey goal. If the affinity level reaches a threshold, then a second set of questions is transmitted to the user with these questions also corresponding to the primary survey goal. However, if the first affinity level fails to reach the threshold, then the second set of questions are based on a secondary survey goal and these questions are transmitted to the user.

Cognitive dynamic goal survey

A portable pedestrian navigation system including a computing device, a proximity sensor and an output device. The proximity sensor and the output device are communicatively coupled to the computing device and the computing device is adapted for receiving environmental data at least from the proximity sensor. Based on the environmental data, A candidate guide entity near the pedestrian is identified. Based on the environmental data, the output device is used for guiding the pedestrian in accordance with a movement of the identified candidate guide entity as a selected guide entity.
