Rules Validation For Travel Planning System

View page
US Patent:
6377932, Apr 23, 2002
Filed:
Jul 2, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/109486
Inventors:
Carl G. DeMarcken - Arlington MA
Assignee:
ITA Software, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06F 1760
US Classification:
705 5, 705 6, 705 1
Abstract:
An airline travel planning system is described. The system includes a server computer executing a server process including a search process to search for set of pricing solutions in accordance with at least one destination and at least one origin. The search process represents the set of pricing solutions in the form of a directed acyclic graph. The system also includes a client computer executing a client process on the set of pricing solutions. The client process has a manipulation process that manipulates the set of pricing solutions in response to user preferences. Several processes are described including a process responsive to user preferences and to set of pricing solutions that provides pricing solutions sorted by said user preference, a process that sorts set of pricing solutions to produce a subset of said set of pricing solutions in accordance with user specified preferences, and a process that prunes from the directed acyclic graph nodes that are no longer contained within the subset of set of pricing solutions.

US Patent:
6418413, Jul 9, 2002
Filed:
Feb 4, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/244905
Inventors:
Carl G. DeMarcken - Arlington MA
Gregory R. Galperin - Boston MA
Assignee:
ITA Software, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06F 1760
US Classification:
705 5, 705 6, 705 7, 705 10
Abstract:
A computer program product, method and system for producing seat availability information for a mode of travel such as airline travel produce a prediction of availability of a seat in accordance with an availability query. The prediction is used in place of making an actual query to an airline or other travel mode availability system.

US Patent:
7085726, Aug 1, 2006
Filed:
Nov 1, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/704268
Inventors:
Gregory R. Galperin - Cambridge MA, US
Carl G. DeMarcken - Cambridge MA, US
Assignee:
ITA Software, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06Q 10/00
G01C 21/34
G06F 17/30
G07G 17/30
US Classification:
705 5, 705 6, 705 10
Abstract:
A method includes determining a travel itinerary that includes a first segment that is scheduled to arrive at a location at an arrival time and a second segment that is scheduled to depart from the location at a departure time. The method also includes deriving a probability distribution of delays in the arrival time based on an arrival statistical model of the first segment, retrieving a minimum connection time required by a traveler traveling in the first segment to connect to the second segment, and computing a likelihood that the traveler will fail to connect to the second segment based on the probability distribution of delays in the arrival time. Annotations are derived from the computed likelihood and added to the travel itinerary.

US Patent:
7216085, May 8, 2007
Filed:
Jul 13, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/615574
Inventors:
Jeremy Wertheimer - Brookline MA, US
Carl G. DeMarcken - Arlington MA, US
Assignee:
ITA Software, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06F 17/50
G06Q 10/00
US Classification:
705 5, 705 6, 705 7, 705 10
Abstract:
A competitive, availability prediction system for predicting relative, competitive availability of seating on an airline flight is described. The system includes an availability predictor that predicts seating availability on a competitive flight, an availability system that produces an actual availability response for a flight and decision logic that compares the predicted answer from the availability predictor and the potential answer from the availability system to establish a decision with respect to actual availability.

Assignee:
ITA Software, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06Q 10/00
US Classification:
705 5, 705 6, 707 2
Abstract:
