This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447777 titled 'OPTIMIZING A RESERVATION USER INTERFACE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods for optimizing a reservation workflow in a user interface.

  • Users can easily switch from making a reservation for a single day to making a reservation for multiple days without having to start the reservation process all over again.
  • The user interface can quickly recover from a situation where a booking is unavailable, without requiring the user to go to a different interface to select an alternative booking.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various examples are described for optimizing a reservation workflow in a user interface. In a calendar user interface element, a user can move from a single day reservation to multi-day reservation without having to choose a multi-day reservation to begin the reservation workflow. Additionally, the user interface can instantly recover from an unavailable booking without requiring the user to navigate to another user interface to select an alternative booking.
