- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of a configuration example of an airline ticket sales system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the airline ticket sales system 1 targets a customer (user) who wants to go somewhere, from a plurality of destination candidates extracted based on input conditions, and finally destinations and airlines It is an information processing system that realizes a destination proposal type sales method in which flights are automatically determined by lottery. Thereby, it is possible to preferentially select a candidate site desired by the seller (a candidate site where a large amount of inventory will remain) and promote sales of the inventory. On the other hand, in this embodiment, it is possible to provide the user with unexpectedness and expectation for travel by keeping the automatically determined destination secret from the user until immediately before departure.
- the airline ticket sales system 1 includes, for example, an airline ticket sales server 10 that is a server system implemented by a server device or a virtual server constructed on a cloud computing service, and an airline company or the like. It has an airline system 20 that manages the vacancy status (inventory) of flights and operates to process reservations made by customers for vacant seats, which communicate via a network such as LAN (Local Area Network) not shown. It has a possible configuration.
- an airline ticket sales server 10 is provided separately on the premise of an existing airline system 20 possessed by an airline or the like. It is naturally possible to construct it as an information processing system.
- a user terminal 40 including a personal computer (PC) owned by a user, a tablet terminal, and an information processing terminal such as a smartphone is connected to the airline ticket sales server 10 and the airline system 20 via a network 30 such as the Internet. It has a possible configuration.
- the airline system 20 is an existing information processing system possessed by an airline or the like, and at least has a function of accepting reservations for each airline operated by the target airline, and holding and managing the reservation.
- the reservation processing unit 21 is implemented as software that runs on middleware such as an OS (Operating System), a DBMS (DataBase Management System), and a Web server program (not shown).
- middleware such as an OS (Operating System), a DBMS (DataBase Management System), and a Web server program (not shown).
- Each data store includes an inventory database (DB) 22 and a purchase history DB 23 implemented by a database or the like.
- the reservation processing unit 21 has an interface for accepting reservations for vacant seats.
- an inventory DB 22 for managing vacant seat (inventory) information and customer purchase history (boarding history) based on the contents of the reservation. Is updated.
- the interface of the reservation processing unit 21 may be, for example, a user interface that receives a reservation input from the user terminal 40 or the like via the network 30, or a programming interface that receives an instruction from the airline ticket sales server 10 described later, It may be a data linkage interface.
- the air ticket sales server 10 is a server system that accepts input of conditions from a user and extracts destination candidates, and has a function of determining a final destination and an air flight from among them by lottery.
- Each unit includes an inventory management unit 11, a destination candidate extraction unit 12, and an application management unit 13 that are implemented as software that runs on middleware such as an OS, DBMS, and Web server program (not shown).
- Each data store includes an inventory DB 14, a purchase history DB 15, a user DB 16, and an application DB 17 implemented by a database, a file table, or the like.
- the inventory management unit 11 has a function of holding and managing information related to vacant seats (inventories) of air mails to be sold in the inventory DB 14.
- the inventory DB 14 is obtained by extracting necessary inventory information periodically or as needed from the inventory DB 22 that holds the latest inventory information in the airline system 20 and copying or replicating it. Build up.
- the air ticket sales server 10 may not have the stock DB 14 but may directly refer to the stock DB 22 on the airline system 20. Further, not only the inventory information but also the information on the purchase history (boarding history) of the air ticket for each user is extracted from the purchase history DB 23 on the airline system 20 and copied or replicated, so that the air ticket sales server 10
- the purchase history DB 15 may be constructed on the top.
- the destination candidate extraction unit 12 receives input of conditions from the user via the user terminal 40 and is registered in the inventory information in the inventory DB 14, the past purchase (boarding) history information in the purchase history DB 15, and the user DB 16. A plurality of destination candidates are extracted based on the user's attribute information and the like, and the final destination and air mail are determined by lottery from the candidates and presented to the user terminal 40. Details of processing contents related to extraction of destination candidates and final destination determination will be described later.
- the application management unit 13 has a function of accepting an input of an airline ticket purchase application from a user via the user terminal 40 and registering it in the application DB 17. As will be described later, at the time of accepting the application, only the destination candidates are presented to the user, and the contents of the application include the contents of these candidates. For example, the application management unit 13 notifies the user of the final destination at a predetermined timing between the acceptance of the application and the departure date of the outbound route. When the final destination is determined, a reservation may be automatically established via the reservation processing unit 21 of the airline system 20 based on the content, or the user terminal 40 uses the reservation processing unit 21. A reservation may be made manually by accessing
- ⁇ Screen transition example> 2 to 5 are diagrams showing an outline of examples of screens displayed on the user terminal 40 by the airline ticket sales server 10 according to the present embodiment.
- a condition input screen as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed.
- a desired date is input for each of the outbound route and the inbound route, and the departure time of the outbound route and the arrival time of the inbound route are designated by time zones.
- the departure time and return arrival time cannot be specified at all, the range of flights selected by the system will be too wide, and it will be used by users because they do not know when to leave and when to return. It will be difficult.
- the airline choices selected by the system will be too narrow, and an unexpected destination may be selected as a destination proposal-type sales method. Can be difficult. Therefore, in this embodiment, for example, 5:00 to 9:00 is “early morning”, 9:00 to 12:00 is “morning”, and 12:00 to 17:00 is “afternoon”. “17:00 to 20:00 is designated as“ evening ”, and 20:00 to 24:00 is designated as divided into time zones such as“ midnight ”.
- the time zone of arrival time is specified for the return route as a guideline for when to return to the departure place.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the time zone of the departure time may also be designated for the return trip so that the stayable time at the destination can be emphasized.
- the departure airport In the screen shown in Fig. 2, specify the departure airport and enter the number of passengers. Of course, the arrival airport cannot be specified.
- the purpose of the trip for example, a hot spring trip, a golf trip, etc. may be designated here.
- a condition is specified / input and the “search” button is pressed, a plurality (four in this embodiment) of candidate locations (four in this embodiment) extracted by the destination candidate extraction unit 12 of the airline ticket sales server 10 by the method described later.
- Candidate airport is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG.
- the display content may be personalized according to the content. Good.
- the final destination for the user is uncertain, but if the user approves that he can go to one of the candidate sites shown in the screen of FIG. 3, the application and settlement process as shown in FIG. The screen for performing is displayed. By completing the settlement here, although the final destination is uncertain, only the right to go to any of the four candidate locations can be secured first.
- FIG. 4 shows a case where a mileage service mile is used as the payment means, the payment means is not particularly limited, and other payment means such as credit card payment can be used as appropriate.
- the user is notified that the final destination has been determined by a screen as shown in FIG. 5 at a predetermined timing until the departure date of the outbound route.
- the example of FIG. 5 shows that the final destination has been determined at Hiroshima Airport.
- the notification is performed via a dedicated application installed in a smartphone of the target user, or an e-mail including a hyperlink that displays the screen illustrated in FIG. 5 is transmitted to the target user. To do.
- it is assumed that such notification is made, for example, four days before the departure date of the outward trip. In other words, the final destination remains undecided until 4 days before the departure date.
- the final destination is also determined, and the reservation is registered through the airline system 20 at that time, so that it is reflected in the inventory DB 22. It is also possible to adopt a configuration. In this case, since it is reflected in the inventory DB 22 at the time of application, the subsequent inventory management can be made clear and easy. On the other hand, as a destination proposal type sales method for a user who wants to go somewhere, the unexpectedness and expectation for a user who does not know the destination until just before departure may be reduced.
- an optimal one may be selected according to the number of inventory at that time immediately before departure,
- the application on the screen of FIG. 4 is accepted, it is determined and registration is made, but it is kept secret until just before departure without notifying the final destination to the user as in the above example. It may be possible to do so.
- the timing of final destination determination and actual reservation registration, and the timing of notification to the user are set as appropriate depending on which factors are important, such as optimal inventory sales, inventory management, and appeal to the user. can do.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of the flow of airline ticket sales processing in the present embodiment.
- the air ticket sales server 10 receives an input of conditions relating to air ticket sales from the user via the screen as shown in FIG. 2 (S10). If the input of conditions is received, the destination candidate extraction part 12 of the airline ticket sales server 10 will perform a series of processes which determine the airport used as the destination candidate (S20).
- flights that meet the conditions input in step S10 are extracted from the inventory DB 14 and a corresponding flight list is created (S21). Specifically, from the inventory registered in the inventory DB 14, a flight corresponding to each date and time zone of the outbound route and the return route specified in the input condition and having a larger inventory number than the designated number of people. Is extracted and a corresponding flight list is created. It is assumed that a list of all stocks of all flights is reflected / registered in advance in the stock DB 14 by the stock management unit 11. The number of stocks here is calculated as the number of available seats for each flight minus the number of sold seats.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an outline of a specific example of the corresponding flight list.
- FIGS. 7A and 7B show examples of the corresponding flight lists on the outbound route and the inbound route that match the conditions specified on the condition input screen of FIG.
- flights with a stock quantity of 4 or more are listed from “HND (Haneda)” airport that departs early in the morning on April 17, and in FIG. 7 (b), flights that depart on the evening of April 18 Listed flights that have arrived at the HND airport and have an inventory of 4 or more.
- an additional condition other than the condition specified by the user for example, it is possible to treat a piece of equipment for each flight or a certain number of inventory or less according to the number of seats as unsaleable (or excluded from the list). Good.
- each shaded flight is treated as being unsaleable as being applicable to the additional conditions.
- a relevant airport list including airports included in the list is created (S22). Specifically, a list of arrival airports is extracted from the corresponding flight list on the outbound route, and a list of departure airports is extracted from the corresponding flight list on the return route. Then, airports that are included in both the list of arrival airports on the outbound route and the list of departure airports on the return route are extracted and used as the corresponding airport list.
- the list of airports is individually extracted for the outbound and inbound routes, and airports that are common to both are extracted.
- the processing procedure is not particularly limited. For example, as a process corresponding to steps S21 and S22, a list of arrival airports is first created for only the outbound route, and a list of arrival airports is extracted. Then, for a return route, an airport whose departure airport is included in the list of arrival airports on the outbound route It is also possible to create a corresponding flight list for only those flights, and set the departure airport included in the corresponding flight list on the return route as a candidate airport list.
- the number of airports included in the corresponding airport list created in step S22 is three.
- a mechanism for selecting a destination from a plurality of candidate locations by lottery is not established. Therefore, it is checked whether or not the number of airports included in the corresponding airport list created in step S22 is three or less (S23). The message such as “We could n’t prepare” is displayed and the process is terminated.
- FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an outline of a specific example of the corresponding airport list.
- the left column in the table shows the arrival airport extracted from the outbound flight list shown in FIG. 7A, and the center column in the table shows the return route shown in FIG. 7B.
- the departure airport is extracted from the corresponding flight list.
- the right column of the table shows a list of airports that are commonly included in these, that is, airports that can make a combination of round-trip flights. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the trip performed by the user basically goes to one destination from the departure point and then returns to the departure point. There must be a round-trip flight combination with the ground.
- a candidate airport list is created (S24).
- the airports included in the round-trip applicable airport list created in steps S22 and S23 are ranked by scoring according to a predetermined standard, and four airports are selected in order from the top. List of candidate airports. Or you may make it select four airports by random lottery based on the lottery probability set according to the calculated score.
- a weight is set for each predetermined parameter for each airport and weighted, and the score is calculated by multiplying each weight.
- the basic parameter is the inventory quantity for each airport, and the weight is set so that the airport has a larger inventory quantity so that the score becomes higher, but the weight by other parameters can be reflected in this.
- the weight is set depending on whether it is a popular airport (an airport with a large number of users and flights) or whether it is a target airport for a campaign organized by an airline, etc. can do.
- weights can be set by month, day of the week, time zone, or a combination of these. For example, even if a flight departs from the same airport, a flight in the evening on Friday can reflect the circumstances such that the demand is higher and the stock is more likely to be sold compared to the flight during other times on weekdays. Further, as individual weights for each user, for example, a destination that has been drawn and determined in the past by the airline ticket sales system 1 of the present embodiment or the same airport as a destination that has been in the past is difficult to be selected again. The weight can be set to
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an outline of a specific example of the candidate airport list.
- the table on the left side of the figure sets the weight for each airport, month, day of the week, and individual parameter for each airport included in the round-trip applicable airport list shown in FIG. The result of multiplying the weight is shown.
- the table on the right side shows a list of candidate airports extracted from the top four airports of the multiplication result. Note that the setting information on what value weight is set when each parameter corresponds to what condition is registered in advance in a setting file or table (not shown), etc. You may make it changeable as needed.
- the candidate airport when selecting four candidate airports from the airports in the corresponding airport list, set the weight for each parameter and score, select the top four, or select four by lottery Do. For example, if the top four are selected, if the same user is searched multiple times at close time intervals, basically the same four airports will be used unless the number of stocks changes significantly during that time. Although it will be selected as a candidate, if the number of stocks changes, the candidate airport may also change. In addition, when four are selected by lottery, the candidate airport can naturally change every time a search is performed. At this time, if the user is allowed to repeat the search many times until a good combination of candidate airports appears, an excessive load is placed on the system.
- the initial search result may not always be used, but the number of times may be limited to allow another search process to be performed only a certain number of times. Further, for example, after a certain period of time such as several days later, it is reset so that a new search can be performed again.
- a series of processes for determining an air flight to be actually sold to the user out of a combination of round-trip flights between the departure airport and the candidate airport is performed.
- a weight corresponding to the resource (inventory) is set to score each flight, and a final round-trip flight is determined by lottery with a lottery probability corresponding to the score.
- the final destination and round-trip flight determination, the actual reservation registration timing, and the like can be set flexibly, so depending on the setting, the airline system 20 At the time of registration of the actual reservation at, there may be a situation in which the target flight is already out of stock and cannot be sold.
- the rankings of other round-trip flights other than one round-trip flight selected in advance are also determined by lottery. Decide on a list of priorities.
- the target flight is not in stock at the time of reservation registration, it is possible to quickly register a reservation for the next candidate flight. If there is no stock in the next candidate flight, the reservation can be attempted by sequentially extracting alternative candidate flights from the priority list until a reservation can be registered, such as a next candidate flight.
- the final destination and airline information can be prevented from being notified to the user until immediately before departure. It is possible to conceal the process of determining a round-trip flight from the user.
- the priority order may be determined for all candidate roundtrip flights, or efficiency may be improved by determining the priority order only from the top to a predetermined order and omitting the subsequent orders.
- a candidate flight list consisting of round-trip air flights between the departure airport designated in step S10 and the four candidate airports included in the candidate airport list created in step S24 is created.
- Create (S31) the flight whose arrival airport corresponds to the candidate airport is extracted from the corresponding flight list of the outbound route created in step S21, and the outbound route candidate flight list is created.
- a flight whose departure airport is a candidate airport is extracted from the corresponding flight list on the return route created in step S21, and a return flight candidate flight list is created.
- a round-trip candidate flight list including all combinations that can be reciprocated is created.
- FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b) show the lists of the outbound and inbound routes shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b) to the airports included in the candidate airport list shown in FIG.
- An example of a forward flight and a return flight candidate flight list from which the corresponding flight is extracted is shown.
- FIG. 11 shows an example of a round-trip candidate flight list created based on the forward and return candidate flight lists shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b). For convenience, each candidate airport is surrounded by a thick frame in the figure.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a combination situation of outbound and inbound flights in the round-trip candidate flight list.
- the combination status in the round-trip candidate flight list shown in FIG. 11 is illustrated.
- the top row shows the arrival airport, flight number, and inventory for each flight included in the outbound flight candidate list
- the bottom row shows the departure airport, flight name, and inventory for each flight included in the return flight candidate flight list.
- a solid line represents a combination of round-trip flights with the same arrival airport on the outbound route and departure airport on the return route. That is, each solid line connecting the outbound and inbound flights corresponds to each row of the round-trip candidate flight list shown in FIG.
- a process for determining the priority order for each round-trip flight combination in the round-trip candidate flight list created in step S31 is performed based on a predetermined condition (S32).
- a predetermined condition S32.
- Various methods for determining the priority order are conceivable, and any method can be adopted as appropriate. For example, the simplest and generally conceivable method is to select and determine the outbound flight and the return flight in order (or vice versa), without considering the combination of round-trip flights, and then combine these to make a round-trip. A method of making a stool can be considered.
- FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of the flow of processing of the 0th method for determining the order of round-trip flights.
- a target outgoing flight is randomly selected from the outgoing flight candidate list and determined (S321_1).
- a return flight having the departure airport as the departure airport determined in step S321_1 is randomly selected from the return flight candidate flight list and determined (S321_2).
- step S321_3 if the target round-trip flight has not been extracted in step S321_3, the target round-trip flight is added to the end of the priority list to determine the rank (S321_4).
- the information on the round-trip flights whose rank has been determined is deleted from the round-trip candidate flight list created in step S31 of FIG. Thereafter, it is determined whether there is any remaining in the round-trip candidate flight list (S321_5). If there is a remainder, the process returns to step S321_1 to repeat the process, whereas if there is no remainder, the process is terminated.
- FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example when the order of round-trip flights is determined from a combination of outbound and inbound flights according to the first method.
- the outbound and inbound flights have the number of inventory as illustrated. Shall.
- one target outbound flight is selected from the upper outbound flights. At that time, it is not a random selection like the 0th method, but according to the number of stocks. To be determined in consideration of the set weight.
- “002 flights” are drawn and selected from among the flights to “ITM (Itami)” airport, which has a large number of 100 seats compared to flights to other airports. Is shown.
- out of the return flights on the lower stage one that is determined from the arrival airport of the selected outbound flight as the departure airport is determined in consideration of the weight set according to the stock quantity.
- “103 flights” of lottery flights selected from “ITM” airports, each of which has 10 seats, are drawn in a thick frame.
- the amount of inventory can be taken into account by weight, for example, the deviation of the inventory quantity between the outbound flight and the return flight, or the deviation of the inventory quantity between each outbound flight.
- the deviation in the number of stocks between the flights on the return route is large, the amount of stocks cannot be properly evaluated, resulting in inefficient sales.
- “ITM” airport has a large total of 300 seats for the three outbound flights (the number of vacant seats), but a total of 30 seats (the number of vacant seats) for the three inbound flights.
- the maximum number of people who can use these flights to and from the “ITM” airport is only 30 people. That is, the transportable capacity in terms of a round trip to and from the “ITM” airport is 30 seats.
- the “AXT (Akita)” airport in the example of FIG. 14 has 30 seats (the number of vacant seats) of one outbound flight, which is far less than the “ITM”, but the return route The number of stocks (number of vacant seats) for one flight is 30 seats, and the transportable capacity is 30 seats, the same as “ITM”.
- “ITM” which has a large number of outbound flights, is overwhelmingly more easily selected when drawing outbound flights. This can result in inefficient sales.
- flights on weekday days are relatively vacant, while flights on Friday evenings are usually almost full. There can be.
- FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of the flow of processing of the second method for determining the order of round-trip flights.
- weights are set in consideration of the number of stocks for round-trip flights in order to eliminate the inefficiency associated with the deviation in the number of stocks of outbound and return flights for each airport.
- step S322_2 For each round-trip flight acquired in step S322_1, the smaller of the number of stocks in the forward or return trip is set as the number of stocks as round-trip flights (round-trip inventory number) (S322_2). Then, after weighting the round-trip inventory as a weight for each round-trip flight, the priority order is selected and determined (S322_3), and the process is terminated. A method for drawing and determining the priority order for each round-trip flight by lottery will be described later.
- FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of determining the order of round-trip flights from the combination of outbound and inbound flights according to the second method.
- the number of stocks is the same as the number of stocks in the example of the combination of outbound and inbound flights shown in FIG.
- the number of round-trip inventory determined in step S322_2 for each round-trip flight between these airports is shown.
- the total number of round-trip inventory for all round-trip flights (9 patterns) as “ITM” airport is 140
- the total number of round-trip inventory for all round-trip flights (1 pattern) as “AXT” airport is 10 is shown.
- weights are set for each round-trip flight to and from “ITM” airport.
- a weight of 10 is set for the round-trip flights between them.
- weights are set based on the number of round-trip inventory for each round-trip flight, which eliminates inefficiencies due to inventory deviations between the outbound and inbound trips, and a combination that has a large inventory as a round-trip flight The higher the priority, the easier it is to draw, and it becomes easier to sell the inventory efficiently to the end.
- the ratio of the total weight of all round-trip flights to “ITM” airport and the total weight of all round-trip flights to “AXT” airport is 14: 1. . Accordingly, when the ranking of each round-trip flight is selected and determined, the probability that any one of the round-trip flights to “ITM” will be selected is the probability that the round-trip flight to “AXT” will be selected. Doubled. That is, the probability of selecting “ITM” airport as the final destination is 14 times the probability of selecting “AXT” airport.
- the “ITM” airport has 60 seats as a whole, whereas the “AXT” airport has 10 seats.
- the city ratio is only 6: 1.
- airports with many combinations of round-trip flights, such as “ITM” airports are more likely to be drawn as final destinations as a result of setting a greater weight as an airport than the bias in transportable capacity.
- the second method is effective when you want to sell a round-trip flight to / from an airport with many round-trip flights (that is, an airport with many arrivals and departures or an airport with many passengers). It is. Even in airports with many round-trip flights, the number of round-trip flights decreases as the number of inventories decreases (sold out), so a large weight is set for the airport (ie, inventory is sold). (Easy to do) will be eased.
- FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of determining the ranking for a plurality of round-trip flights within the same airport.
- the candidate for the outbound flight is the three flights shown in the upper figure
- the candidate for the return flight is the three flights shown in the lower figure.
- the round-trip inventory quantity of each round-trip flight determined in step S322_2 in FIG. 15 is corrected to 10 which is the smaller inventory quantity. Therefore, the weight set for each round trip based on the round trip inventory quantity in step S322_3, that is, the lottery probability at the time of priority determination is an equal value.
- FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an outline of an example of the flow of processing of the third method for determining the order of round-trip flights.
- weights are set in consideration of the balance of the number of stocks for each outbound route and inbound route at each airport, while avoiding setting a large weight for airports with many combinations of round-trip flights.
- S323_1 all combinations are generated for round-trip flights including combinations of outbound and inbound flights. This process is the same as the creation of the round-trip candidate flight list created in step S31 of FIG.
- the number of inbound and return flight inventory is multiplied and the value is determined as the weight for each round-trip in the airport (S323_2).
- the total number of stocks for each outbound flight and the total number of stocks for each return flight are calculated, and the smaller one is determined as the weight for each airport (S323_3). That is, the transportable capacity of each airport described above is calculated and used as the weight for each airport.
- the round trip weight is calculated by multiplying the round trip weight in the airport calculated in step S323_2 and the airport weight calculated in step S323_3 for each round trip (S323_4).
- the priority order of each round trip is determined (S323_5), and the process is terminated.
- FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of determining the order of round-trip flights from the combination of outbound and inbound flights according to the third method.
- the number of stocks is the same as the number of stocks in the example of the combination of outbound and inbound flights shown in FIG.
- the round trip weight in the airport calculated for each round trip for the “ITM” airport is shown.
- the total number of in-stock items for each outbound and inbound flight is shown, and the smaller one is used as the weight for each airport.
- FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of a lottery probability when a weight is set for each flight by the above-described first method for comparison.
- 20 (a) and 20 (b) show a case where the round trip candidate flight list created in step S31 of FIG. 6 is the one shown in the example of FIG. 11 (and FIG. 12). Is a case in which the lottery probability is calculated using the number of stocks for each flight in one way as a weight.
- the selected value is the lottery probability.
- the priority order of round-trip flights is determined by the combination of forward flights and return flights sequentially drawn based on the lottery probability.
- FIG. 21 and 22 show examples of how the lottery probability is calculated when a weight is set for each flight by the third method.
- FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of a round-trip weight determined in step S323_4 of the processing flow of the third method illustrated in FIG.
- FIGS. 21A to 21D show four round trip candidate flight lists created in step S31 of FIG. 6 when the round trip candidate flight list is the one shown in the example of FIG. 11 (and FIG. 12).
- candidate airports (“ITM”, “FUK (Fukuoka)”, “OKA (Naha)”, “AXT”)
- An example is shown in which the weight for each round trip is calculated by multiplying the weight for each airport determined in step S323_3.
- the round trip weight obtained as the calculation result of the left side is shown in a matrix composed of combinations of forward and return flights. Note that the sum of all round trip weights of all round trips at each airport shown in FIGS. 21A to 21D is 100%.
- priorities of round trips are determined by sequentially drawing the round trip weight as the lottery probability.
- the third method by assigning a lottery probability to each airport by the weight per airport (that is, the transportable capacity described above), for example, even when there is an airport with a large number of stocks and many round trip combinations, Compared to the two systems, it is possible to sell more appropriately according to the number of inventory at each airport. In other words, airport flights with many round-trip combinations will not be preferentially sold, and if the round-trip inventory at each airport (transportable capacity) is the same, It is possible to prevent the priority (lottery probability) from being affected by the number.
- the weight per airport that is, the transportable capacity described above
- the lottery probability is allocated according to the ratio of the number of stocks for each of the outbound route and the inbound route, and the stock can be sold more appropriately.
- the outbound route and the return route are each individually This is equivalent to lottery / selection and combination. Therefore, either method can be used, but in the case of the latter method, which is selected by lottery and selection individually for the outbound and inbound routes, it is not necessary to calculate the weight for each round trip in the airport, but for all combinations When ranking is performed, it is necessary to perform a deletion process considering the combination, which may be an inefficient process.
- FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of a lottery probability when a weight is set for each flight by the third method.
- FIGS. 22A and 22B show the lottery probabilities (weights for each round trip on the right side) of each round-trip flight shown in FIG.
- the third method is equivalent to selecting and selecting a flight separately for each of the outbound and inbound trips according to the lottery probability as shown in FIG.
- the lottery probability determined by the third method shown in FIG. 22 is compared with the lottery probability determined by the first method shown in FIG. 20, in the example of FIG. It can be seen that the lottery probability is corrected based on the balance of the number of stocks in each return path. For example, in the example of FIG. 22A, even if there are 30 outbound flights with the same inventory quantity, the lottery probability is adjusted according to the inventory quantity of return flights for each airport for “001 flight to ITM” and “005 flight to FUK”. The former has a higher probability of lottery.
- the elements selected by lottery are sequentially extracted from a plurality of flights having different lottery probabilities (or weights) and ranked (ranking).
- the method is not particularly limited and is publicly known. Any method can be used.
- FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an outline of an example of a method for determining the priority when the lottery probability for each round-trip flight in this embodiment is determined.
- the winning range of element A is as shown in the left figure.
- H A is set to 0 ⁇ H A ⁇ 1
- element B winning range H B is set to 1 ⁇ H B ⁇ 3
- element C winning range H C is set to 3 ⁇ H C ⁇ 6. Note that the order of arrangement of the winning ranges H is not limited to this and may be arbitrary.
- a random value P is generated in a range of 0 ⁇ P ⁇ 6, and an element corresponding to the winning range H to which P belongs is won.
- the example of FIG. 23 indicates that element B has been won.
- the winning element B is added to the end of the ranking list, the winning range H B is removed, and the winning range is restructured by closing the gap of the winning range H B as shown in the right figure.
- the range of the random value P generated in the next lottery is 0 ⁇ P ⁇ 4.
- step S32 when the priority order for the round trip is determined in step S32, the information on the four airports included in the candidate airport list created in step S24 is displayed on the user terminal on the screen as shown in FIG. It is displayed on 40 (S33).
- step S10 determines whether or not to apply for a trip, but if the user does not apply (if the user transitions to another screen or terminates the application), as described above, step S10.
- the search conditions input in step S ⁇ b> 24 and information on the candidate airport list created in step S ⁇ b> 24 may be stored using Cookie or the like.
- the user makes an application it receives an application request from the user terminal 40 via the screen as shown in FIG. 4 described above, performs an application process (S40), and ends the series of processes.
- information such as a candidate airport list created in step S24 and a list of priority orders of round-trip flights determined in step S32 is recorded in the application DB 17 and the like.
- reservation processing is actually performed via the reservation processing unit 21 of the airline system 20, and the inventory quantity is subtracted (or the sold quantity is added).
- the inventory quantity becomes insufficient at the time of actual reservation registration in the airline system 20, the reservation is made by the round trip recorded in the next order in the priority list.
- information on the actually reserved round-trip flights is notified to the user via a screen as shown in FIG. 5 four days before the departure date.
- the final destination and airmail are selected from a plurality of destination candidates extracted based on the conditions input by the user. It is possible to realize a destination proposal type sales method in which the system automatically determines by lottery, and it is possible to promote sales of inventory by preferentially selecting a candidate site desired by the seller . It is also possible to provide the user with unexpectedness and expectation for travel by keeping the automatically determined destination secret from the user until immediately before departure.
