==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.
