Abstract

A method for creating offers for ticket orders on the basis of data of an Internet hotel reservation system is designed as a computational device in which a URL link to an Internet hotel reservation offer is received from a user, said offer containing the location of a given hotel and dates of stay; the geolocation of the user's communication device from which the Internet hotel reservation offer was created is determined on the basis of internal geolocation services; tickets for the user are searched for on the basis of the at least one Internet hotel reservation offer from the user which is received earlier and the geolocation of the user thus determined in the Internet hotel reservation system; and a general offer, including a bundle that comprises an Internet hotel reservation offer and a ticket, is created on the basis of the conducted search. The method provides faster automated creation of offers for ticket orders on the basis of data of an Internet hotel reservation system.

Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED FORMATION OF OFFERS FOR ORDERING TICKETS

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

[001] The invention relates to automated systems, in particular to automated systems for automated generation of proposals for ordering tickets based on data from an online hotel booking system based on information network technologies, and can be used to solve problems of providing and rendering a range of various services, including including booking and paying for tickets for domestic and international flights, railway and bus routes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[002] There is a challenge in the industry to realize the ability to speed up the ticketing process while reducing associated costs and facilitating such sales to users by simplifying the customer journey. The methods and systems described later in the document are alternative methods for generating offers for booking tickets based on data from an online hotel reservation system that meet these requirements.

[003] Currently, the user has to deal with a lot of nuances when buying transport tickets: hundreds of airlines around the world, several distribution systems (GDS) with different rules and options, consolidators with special conditions from airlines, thousands of online travel agencies ( English, “online travel agency”, abbr. OTA), dozens of different tariffs, options and rules for each airline, a variety of restrictions on the side of GDS and airlines for different markets and countries.

[004] In this way, the client path of the user becomes more complicated and lengthened, you have to book tickets for various transport in different systems, and then aggregate this information in your data warehouse, due to the fact that tickets come from different systems to e-mail, or stored in the personal account of booking systems.

[005] There are alternative ways to order tickets, such as through ATMs, but even they do not simplify the customer journey.

[006] For example, from the prior art there is a method described in patent No. RU 2174709 “Method of non-cash payment for goods (works, services) through an ATM” (patent holder: CJSC General Technologies, publication date: 10.10.2001) as a method of non-cash payment , in which the buyer, wishing to purchase an air ticket, identifies himself through an ATM using a plastic card and then selects a cashless payment operation. Next, the ATM sends a request to the service processing center to provide the above list of goods. After receiving this list, the ATM at the first stage displays a list of categories of goods contained in this list. The buyer selects the purchase of air tickets from this list, and then sequentially (as the ATM displays the corresponding images on the screen) selects the direction of the flight, indicates the required date of the flight and, finally, selects the air ticket for a specific flight, choosing, if possible, a seat with the desired class of service. Having finished choosing air tickets, the buyer presses the corresponding button on the control panel of the ATM. After that, the ATM generates and sends a corresponding message to the servicing processing center, which is an order to purchase from the airline the tickets selected by the buyer, indicating their corresponding number. Upon receipt of the specified message, the serving processing center, as described above, either broadcasts this message to the airline in real time, and then receives the parameters of this order from it, or independently accepts this order. Payment by the buyer of this order is carried out through an ATM.

[007] However, it is impossible to provide services for booking, issuing and selling air tickets for domestic and international flights operated by both Russian and international airlines in the above way. the connection of the ATM with a particular airline is assumed. [008] In the invention RU 2222825 "Global automated sales system based on information network technologies" (patent holder: CJSC "INFOFLIVE", publication date: 01/27/2004) describes an automated system that provides a unified interface to various global distribution systems (hereinafter referred to as GDS) . [009] There are several main global distribution systems in the world, for example, such as Saber, Amadeus, Galileo, Worldspan, Gabriel, Sirena, each of which has its own interface. Therefore, this patent solves the problem of providing client (buyer) access to information (routes, flights) from any available GDS using a single universal interface that generalizes GDS interfaces.

[0010] At the same time, a distinctive feature of the invention described in the patent is the presence of a "consolidating center and a network of corporate clients (agencies, local users)". The system described in this invention does not involve the provision of services to users - individuals through public electronic self-service devices and the public Internet, and also completely ignores the issues of paying for booked tickets and subsequent settlements between participants in operations, which is a significant drawback.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0011] This technical solution is aimed at eliminating the shortcomings known from the prior art.

[0012] The technical task or technical problem solved in this technical solution is the implementation of a technical solution for generating offers for ordering tickets based on data from an online hotel booking system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] Below will be discussed in detail the terms and their definitions used in the description of this technical solution.

[0027] In this invention, the system refers to a computer system, a computer (electronic computer), CNC (numerical control), PLC (programmable logic controller), computerized control systems and any other devices capable of performing a given, well-defined sequence of operations (actions, instructions), centralized and distributed databases, smart contracts. [0028] An instruction processing device refers to an electronic unit or an integrated circuit (microprocessor) executing machine instructions (programs), or the like. An instruction processing device reads and executes machine instructions (programs) from one or more data storage devices. The role of a storage device can be, but not limited to, hard disk drives (HDD), flash memory, ROM (read only memory), solid state drives (SSD), optical drives.

[0029] A program is a sequence of instructions intended to be executed by a computer control device or command processing device.

[0030] Bundle (English, bundle) is a collection of any program data (for example, files) combined on some basis.

[0031] Geolocation is the determination of the actual geographic location of an electronic device, such as a radio transmitter, cell phone, or computer connected to the Internet. The word "geolocation" can refer to both the process of determining the location of such an object, and the location itself, established in this way. Often, one or another positioning system is used for geolocation purposes, and it is often more important to determine the location in a form that is easily perceived by a person (for example, a postal address) than precise geographic coordinates.

[0032] Uniform Resource Locator (from the English. Uniform Resource Locator, abbr. URL) - a system of unified addresses of electronic resources, or a uniform resource (file) location identifier.

[0033] Online hotel booking systems are systems that reflect the availability of real hotel rooms and in which the hotel is informed about the client’s booking in less than one minute from the moment of booking, while booking a hotel room is possible for any minimum period of time before the start of the reservation, i.e. more than one minute.

[0034] Booking system - an automated system that issues, in response to a request, information about options available for purchase transportation information about such options, and when an order for transportation is received, they make reservations for transportation according to the received order. Examples of information sources are: GDS, Russian Railways server or ticket agency.

[0035] User - an automated system or a person oriented to use information about transportation, including in the form of an equivalent set of computer codes, requesting it, analyzing it, and possibly performing any actions with it.

[0036] As used herein, "server" refers to a computer program running on appropriate hardware that is capable of receiving requests (eg, from client devices) over a network and fulfilling or initiating those requests. The hardware may be a single physical computer or a single physical computer system, but neither is required for this technology. In the context of this technology, the use of the term “server” does not imply that every task (e.g., received commands or requests) or any particular task will be received, executed, or initiated to be executed by the same server (i.e., the same software software and/or hardware); this means that any number of pieces of software or hardware devices can be involved in receiving/transmitting, executing or initiating the execution of any request or the consequences of any request associated with a client device, and all this software and hardware can be a single server or multiple servers , both options are included in the expression "at least one server".

[0037] In the context of the present description, "client device" means a hardware device capable of working with software suitable for solving the corresponding task. Thus, examples of client devices include (among others) personal computers (desktops, laptops, netbooks, etc.), smartphones, tablets, and network equipment such as routers, switches, and gateways. Note that a device behaving as a client device in the present context can behave like a server to other client devices. The use of the term "client device" does not preclude the use of multiple client devices to receive/send, perform or initiate any task or request, or the consequences of any task or request, or the steps of any method described above.

[0038] As used herein, "database" means any structured set of data that is independent of the particular structure, database management software, computer hardware on which the data is stored, used, or otherwise made available for use. The database may reside on the same hardware running the process that stores or uses the information stored in the database, or it may reside on separate hardware such as a dedicated server or multiple servers.

[0039] As used herein, "information" includes any information of any type that can be stored in a database. Thus, information includes, among other things, audiovisual works (images, videos, sound recordings, presentations, etc.), data (location data, digital data, etc.), text (opinions, comments, questions , messages, etc.), documents, spreadsheets, etc.

[0040] The method for generating ticket proposals based on data from the online hotel reservation system will be detailed below and shown in the implementation in steps as shown in FIG. one .

[0041] Step 110: receive at least one URL link to at least one online hotel booking offer from the user, containing at least the location of this hotel and dates of stay.

[0042] In the first step, the user 210, as shown in FIG. 2 searches for an online hotel booking offer in the online hotel booking system 220, generates a set of offers, always indicating the location of the hotels where he is going on a trip and the planned dates of stay. This functionality is implemented on the web website or own mobile application of the online hotel reservation system 220.

[0043] In general, the user 210 can access information over a communications network in a number of ways. This user 210 can access a specific information resource directly, either by launching a browser application, such as Yandex browser, Windows Explorer, Chrome, Safari, Mozilla, Opera and the like, or by entering the address of the resource (usually a URL, universal resource locator, for example , www.webpage.com corresponding to the web address of the resource) in the browser command interface; or by clicking on a resource hyperlink in an email or other displayed resource. Alternatively, the user 210 may perform a search using a search engine to find the desired resource.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the user 210 may schedule a trip from one location to another and may have this information in their digital calendar stored on the user's device. Before arriving at a new location, the user 210 can learn more about, for example, where he can rent a car. The solution may process the user request received from the user 210 and provide an appropriate response. It should be understood that the solution may intelligently generate conversational recommendations based on at least a user profile (eg, which may be stored on a social networking website). In this case, the system may know, for example, the age of the user 210 and decide what may be of interest to people of a particular age category. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that a variety of different criteria and rules may be applied to generate interactive recommendations.

[0045] An online hotel reservation system website (e.g., Booking.com™, Hotels.com™, etc.) includes one or more web resources associated with a domain and hosted on one or more servers 230 in one or more locations, as shown in FIG. 2. As a rule, the website of the online hotel reservation system is a collection of web pages formatted in hypertext language markup (HTML) that contains text, images, multimedia content, and programming elements. Each website is operated by the online hotel reservation system 220, which is the entity that manages, administers and/or owns the website.

[0046] A web page resource is any data that can be provided by a website of the online hotel reservation system 220 over the network and that has a resource address, such as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), which is then used to search for tickets. Web resources can be HTML pages, image files, video files, audio files, and channel sources, to name just a few. Resources may include embedded information, such as meta-information and hyperlinks, and/or embedded instructions, such as client-side scripts. The resources may be optimized for desktop environments or mobile environments, especially when the online hotel reservation system 220 supports a mobile look and feel.

[0047] The online hotel reservation system 220 may also provide its own application. As described above, a native application is an application specifically designed to run on a specific operating system of a user's device and machine firmware (eg, Tutu™). Many 220 online hotel booking systems provide the same content both on the web and in their own applications. Delivery of such content is administered by the server 230 of the online hotel reservation system 220 hosting it. The server 230 of the online hotel reservation system 220 includes an online hotel reservation system store 240 that stores content that the online hotel reservation system 220 provides, a web server 250 that provides content from the online hotel reservation system 220 storage as web resources (eg, web pages), a native application data server (not shown in the figure) that handles requests from the native application. The content of the storage 240 of the online hotel reservation system 220 is available for presentation both in the web resources, and in your own application. Accordingly, such content is referred to as "agreed" content.

[0048] The online booking system 220 may include HotelsCombined.com™, Booking.com™, Tripadvisor.ru™, Hotels.com™, Accorhotels.com™, Trivago.ru™, etc., without limitation.

[0049] The architecture of the server 230 of the online hotel reservation system 220 is illustrative only, and other systems that are designed to provide consistent content to two or more different environments may also be used.

[0050] The user's device is an electronic device that is controlled by the user. The user's device is typically configured to request and receive web page resources and native applications over a network. Exemplary user devices include personal computers, mobile communication devices, and tablet computers.

[0051] User devices submit search queries to a search engine. In response to each request, the search engine accesses the web index and the mobile application index to identify content that is relevant to the user's query. The search engine may, for example, identify resources and applications in the form of web resource search results and native application search results, respectively. Once generated, the search results are provided to the device of the user from which the request was received.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the user in the Booking.com™ online booking system selects the Grand Budapest Hotel for the dates 10/01/2020 - 10/20/2020, whose location is the Eastern European country Zubrovka, Lutz, Görlitsa st., 1 ( Hotel GPS coordinates: 55.816981, 37.648066), URL link: https://www.bookinq.com/hotel/hu/iberostar-qrand-collection-budapest-budapest.ru.html.

[0053] In some implementations, if there are no suitable rooms to stay on the dates requested by the user, the online hotel reservation system 220 selects possible dates and recommends them to the user 210 for consideration. [0054] Step 120: determine the geolocation of the user's communication device from which the Internet hotel reservation proposal was generated, based on the device's internal location services.

[0055] In one non-limiting embodiment of the present technical solution, the user device 310, as shown in FIG. 3 is associated with geographic data. Geographic data includes, without limitation, any data indicative of the geographic location of the user 210 and/or their device 310. In particular, the geographic data may be, without limitation, the permanent geographic location of the user 210 and the current geographic location of the user 210; geographic location specified by the user 210 in social networks and blogs, or geographic location determined at least in part based on information about the user's friends in social networks.

[0056] In some implementations, if the user 210 has VPN technology enabled, a notification is sent to the graphical user interface 210 to turn it off in order to accurately determine geolocation.

[0057] Similarly, in some implementations, if the geographic location specified by the user 210 on social networks and blogs is used, or the geographic location determined at least in part based on information about the user's friends on social networks, notifications are sent to the user 210 to clarify the exact location address .

[0058] The geographic data received from the user's electronic communication device 310 can be used in the proposed method to search for tickets, both when the proposed method is performed on the device 310, and when the proposed method is performed on the server. [0059] In particular, the current location of the user 210 can be determined from the IP address of the device 310, as shown in FIG. 3, with which the user 210 accesses the Internet from his electronic device 310, or by GPS coordinates (Eng. "Global Positioning Service" - global navigation and location system) of the electronic device 310 of the user, in case there is no other information about the user 210. It should be noted that the present solution is not limited to GPS coordinates and may use geographic data technology other than GPS. In particular, the values of such geographical parameters as city, country, continent, etc. are automatically extracted from message IP addresses. The location of the user 210 thus determined can also be used as additional information about the user.

[0060] It is also possible to use the Geolocation API if the user 210 has enabled their location to share their location information in web applications, which is especially useful when the user's mobile electronic device 310 is used. In this case, all available and authorized by the user devices and location tools are used to determine the location, including GPS coordinates, Wi-Fi network, data from cell towers.

[0061] However, it is worth noting that geographic data (or sometimes geospatial data) typically includes not only location, but also components such as spatial relationships, time, descriptive information of features, images, for example, the user can fly on an airplane , to be underground, to cross the sea or land. The geographic data of the user 210 includes not only the current geographic data of the user 210, but also their usual geographic data. It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that other approaches to determining the geographic data of a user can be applied without going beyond the scope of this technical solution.

[0062] In the present non-limiting embodiment, the user's electronic communication device 310 has an IP address that uniquely identifies that device 310 to other network participants, in particular to the server 320 shown in FIG. 3. In more detail, the electronic device 310 is a smartphone and has an IP address through which it connects to the Internet for determining an online hotel reservation system offer 220, from which the physical location of the user 210 is calculated. However, this approach may not be accurate enough, since this location may not be a very accurate location of the user and / or his electronic communication device 310, but only the location of the Internet user provider. Therefore, in the considered embodiment, due to the fact that the electronic communication device 310 is a smartphone with wireless Internet access, the nearest wireless access points are additionally determined and data is sent to the server 320. In addition, in the considered embodiment, the electronic device 310 is equipped with special hardware means of GPS, which allows you to determine the location of the electronic device 310 with an accuracy of several meters. However, the use of GPS hardware alone also has its drawbacks, in particular, the significant power consumption of the electronic device 310, which is a smartphone, and also in a city with tall buildings, the possibility of signal reflection from some buildings. It is also contemplated that the user 210 may enter their location manually, such as by entering their postal code, or selecting a location from a map. Using only one approach to define the geographic data of the user 210 may have its disadvantages, and a combined approach to the definition of geographic data can be used in this non-limiting embodiment to achieve greater benefits.

[0063] In this embodiment, the electronic device 310 is configured to transmit to the server 320 geographic data with which the user 210 is associated. Typically, the geographic data with which the user 210 is associated is location-based, i. geolocation of the user's electronic device 310, but it can also be data about other locations of the user 210. Since the user 210 authenticated using his electronic device 310, i. uses the electronic device 310, then it is considered that the user 210 and the device 310 are at that moment time in one location. In addition, it is possible to take into account those geographic locations in which the user often visits. User authentication can be carried out in particular through the tutu.ru website.

[0064] Thus, in the present embodiment, the current geographic location of the user electronic device 310 obtained via IP/GPS is transmitted to the server 320. Additionally, it is possible to use cookies (eng, cookies) in order to extract from them the geographic data of the user 210, including the permanent location of the user's electronic device 310. The web browser application has access to cookies. For example, some websites specifically store a user's geographic coordinates in cookies if the user's web browser application settings allow the user to determine geographic location, as this makes it easier for websites to continuously track the location of individual website visitors. Cookies containing information about geographic location can be informative in terms of which routes the user has recently taken, how often he uses these routes.

[0065] In the embodiment under consideration, both from the user's cookies and from the GPS coordinates, for example, the following geographic data of the user are extracted: longitude and latitude coordinates corresponding to the city of Moscow, Russia, corresponding to the fact that the user is most likely in the Moscow skyscraper City. The user's geographic data is transmitted from the electronic device 310 to the server 320 via a data link as shown in FIG. 3 to receive from server 320 a first set of websites from a collection of websites, the first set of websites being associated with said geographic data.

[0066] In some implementations, the user may adjust their geolocation in the mobile application.

[0067] Step 130: search for tickets for the user based on at least one online hotel booking offer from previously obtained user and the specific geolocation of the user in the online ticket booking system.

[0068] The web resource search result is data generated by the search engine 510, as shown in detail in FIG. 5 that identify a web resource based on the content of the resource that satisfies a particular search query. The web resource search result for the resource may include the title of the web page, a piece of text retrieved from the resource, and a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the resource, such as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the web page. When selected on the user's device 310, the web resource search result instructs the device to generate a request for the resource located in the URL. The web resource that is received is then displayed in the browser application.

[0069] The native application search result indicates the native application. The native application search result generator generates a native application search result in response to an application index and/or web index search, as described in more detail below. When selected on the user's device 310, the native application search result causes the native application installed on the user's device to request the matched content. Once the native application receives the requested content, the native application displays the content in the native application's user interface.

[0070] As described above, content URIs, URLs, or command line parameters, for the native application and the corresponding web resource address, which is intended to provide the same or similar content as the native application, can be provided 220 online hotel booking systems or third parties. One example of such content addresses are external links, which are instructions specifying a particular instance of the native application environment and configured to instruct the native application to create an instance of the specified native application environment when selected on the user's device 310. The external link may include specific the addresses to which the native application should address content requests. Alternatively, the addresses can be stored within the executable native application, and each time the native application is instantiated, it requests the content at the address. In such situations, the online hotel reservation system 220 may provide addresses, or a system such as a native application/web content verifier, described in more detail below, may instantiate the native application and track the addresses to which the native application sends content requests.

[0071] Based on the search, for example, the airline sends the server 230 in real time an up-to-date list of offered air tickets based on the Internet hotel booking offer from the user received earlier and the user’s determined geolocation in the online ticket booking system, while in the parameters can be included for each air ticket - direction, flight number, flight route (if the flight of this flight is performed with intermediate stops), date, time and place of departure, class of service, ticket price.

[0072] The search may be on a website 520. Such a website 220 may be an airline site, an offer aggregator, a social network page, and so on, without being limited.

[0073] The booking engine 530 is a software tool for processing flight/hotel/tour bookings, etc. The reservation engine 530 resides on one or more servers and communicates with the reservation system and the reservation database or reservation data. The redundancy system may also include a dedicated software application (not shown in FIG. 5) running on one or more servers. Users 210 can communicate with the booking engine 530 via conventional communication connections through the website browser 520 on their computers or mobile communication devices, allowing them to also communicate with the website 520.

[0074] After receiving the data described earlier in steps 110 and 120, a ticket search request for the user to purchase or booking/reservation (for example, an air ticket or a tour) is carried out as follows. After receiving a list of available offers, the graphical interface of the search engine 510 in the first step displays on the user's display screen a list of the parameters contained in this list. The user 220 receives in the form of a list, for example, the direction of the flight, the desired flight date, and finally the specific flight, including the desired class of service. After that, the graphical interface can generate and send an appropriate message to the serving processing center, which is a request for reservation (or immediate booking) from the airline of the tickets 210 selected by the user, indicating their corresponding number, which then redirects to the booking/reservation gateway 530. In addition, the graphic the interface includes in this message the personal data of the user 210 received earlier. Upon receipt of the specified message, the serving processing center accepts this request for booking or booking a ticket. At the same time, the composition of the parameters of this request, as indicated, includes at least the cost of this request and/or the unique identifier of this request.

[0075] Additionally, the user 210 can form a request with wishes that are sent to the server 510 through an API containing information about, for example, the number of passengers, attributes, vehicle interior configuration indicating free seats, as well as other relevant information. The specified request can be sent via HTTP POST with data in JSON format. Information exchange can occur in UTF-8 encoding. [0076] Step 140: Generating at least one generic offer containing a bundle with an online hotel booking offer and at least one ticket based on the search.

[0077] After the server corresponding to the target web address receives the send request, it can return a return message, appropriately, according to the send request, so that the user can provide the result of the send request sent to the target web address by returned messages. The returned message may include specified specific characters, such as success or failure in booking tickets, and may also include information regarding the destination content of the departure, such as origin, destination, train number (flight number), train departure date (aircraft), seat selection, number of tickets booked, passenger identification information.

[0078] For the same target web address, returned messages of different types, formats and/or content may present different results, while for different target web addresses, returned messages of different types, formats and/or content usually use to present different results. Of course, there is no exception for similar websites using the same return message, owned by the same company, or all hotel booking websites.

[0079] In some implementations, bundles can be either hard or soft:

• rigid, which include online hotel booking offers and tickets with specific parameters that the user cannot change;

• soft, allowing users to independently assemble a package of available offers separately, after which, based on the type and number of selected offers, add additional or replace existing ones.

[0080] Referring to FIG. 4, this technical solution can be implemented in the form of a computer system 400 for the automated generation of offers for booking tickets based on data from an online hotel booking system, which contains one or more of the following components:

• a processing component 401 comprising at least one processor 402,

• memory 403,

[0091] The elements of the proposed technical solution are in a functional relationship, and their joint use leads to the creation of a new and unique technical solution. Thus, all blocks are functionally connected.

[0092] All blocks used in the system can be implemented using electronic components used to create digital integrated circuits, which is obvious to a person skilled in the art. Not limited to, microcircuits can be used, the logic of which is determined during manufacture, or programmable logic integrated circuits (FPGA), the logic of which is set by programming. Programmers are used for programming debugging environments that allow you to specify the desired structure of a digital device in the form of a circuit diagram or a program in special hardware description languages: Verilog, VHDL, AHDL, etc. An alternative to FPGAs can be programmable logic controllers (PLCs), basic matrix crystals (BMCs) that require factory production process for programming; ASICs are specialized custom large integrated circuits (LSI), which are significantly more expensive in small-scale and single-piece production.

[0093] Typically, the FPGA chip itself consists of the following components:

• configurable logical blocks that implement the required logical function;

• programmable electronic links between configurable logic blocks;

• programmable input/output blocks that provide communication between the external output of the microcircuit and the internal logic.

[0094] Blocks can also be implemented using read-only memories.

[0095] Thus, the implementation of all used blocks is achieved by standard means based on the classical principles of implementing the fundamentals of computer technology.
