AUTOMATIC APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE TRIGGERING BASED ON TRAVEL INFORMATION IN A STRUCTURED DATA SET - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17885196 titled 'AUTOMATIC APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE TRIGGERING BASED ON TRAVEL INFORMATION IN A STRUCTURED DATA SET

Simplified Explanation

In some implementations, a flight system processes structured data containing event entries related to flights. The system identifies flight-associated event entries and sends a call with the flight identifier to an API. The API provides data indicating a layover, allowing the system to estimate layover details and suggest possible meals. The system receives the selected meal choice and confirms it by calling a second API.

  • Flight system processes structured data with flight-related event entries
  • Identifies flight-associated event entries and sends flight identifier to API
  • API provides layover data for estimating details and suggesting meals
  • Receives selected meal choice and confirms it through a second API
      1. Potential Applications

- Airline industry for enhancing passenger experience during layovers - Travel planning applications for suggesting meals and activities during layovers

      1. Problems Solved

- Streamlining meal selection process during layovers - Providing personalized suggestions based on layover duration and location

      1. Benefits

- Improved passenger experience during layovers - Efficient meal selection process - Personalized meal suggestions based on individual preferences and constraints


Original Abstract Submitted

In some implementations, a flight system may receive structured data including a plurality of event entries. The flight system may detect, within the structured data, at least one of the plurality of event entries that is associated with a flight. The flight system may transmit, to a first application programming interface (API), a call including an identifier associated with the flight as a parameter. Accordingly, the flight system may receive, from the first API, data associated with the flight that indicates a layover. The flight system may estimate a duration and a location associated with the layover and may generate a set of possible meals based on the duration and the location. The flight system may receive an indication of a selected meal from the set of possible meals. Accordingly, the flight system may trigger a call to a second API to confirm the selected meal.
