MAINTENANCE OF VIRTUAL CREDIT CARD POOL FOR AIRLINE PASSENGER VOUCHERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046301 titled 'MAINTENANCE OF VIRTUAL CREDIT CARD POOL FOR AIRLINE PASSENGER VOUCHERS

Simplified Explanation

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for the maintenance of a virtual credit card pool for airline passenger vouchers. The system includes servers that determine the distribution of virtual credit cards within the pool for a given date and time. When a predefined restocking time is reached, the servers identify the current number of virtual credit cards and compare it to a threshold number based on the target distribution. If the current number is below the threshold, a request is sent to an external server for virtual credit cards of a specific value. Upon receipt, the requested virtual credit cards are added to the pool.

  • The system maintains a virtual credit card pool for airline passenger vouchers.
  • Servers determine the distribution of virtual credit cards within the pool based on a target distribution.
  • When a predefined restocking time is reached, the system checks the current number of virtual credit cards in the pool.
  • If the current number is below the threshold based on the target distribution, a request is sent to an external server for more virtual credit cards.
  • The requested virtual credit cards are added to the pool upon receipt.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in the airline industry to manage and distribute virtual credit cards for passenger vouchers.
  • It can be used to streamline the process of restocking virtual credit cards in the pool, ensuring an adequate supply for redemption.

Problems Solved:

  • The system solves the problem of maintaining a sufficient number of virtual credit cards in the pool for airline passenger vouchers.
  • It automates the process of restocking the virtual credit cards, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

Benefits:

  • The system ensures that there are enough virtual credit cards available for redemption by airline passengers.
  • It reduces the manual effort required to restock the virtual credit cards, improving efficiency and accuracy in the process.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and apparatus are disclosed for the maintenance of a virtual credit card pool for airline passenger vouchers. an example system includes server(s) that are configured to determine a target distribution of virtual credit cards within the virtual card pool for a current date-and-time. the server(s) are configured to, in response to determining that the current date-and-time corresponds with a predefined restocking time, for each card value: identify a current number of virtual credit cards within the virtual card pool; identify a threshold number of virtual credit cards based on the target distribution; compare the current and threshold numbers; in response to determining that the current number is less than the threshold number, transmit a request for virtual credit cards having the card value to an external server; and add the requested virtual credit cards to the virtual card pool upon receipt.
