- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18176524 Titled 'AIRCRAFT RESERVATION SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an aircraft reservation system that includes several components. Firstly, there is a reservation acceptance unit that accepts reservations. Then, a recommended candidate flight extraction unit extracts a list of recommended flights that meet certain conditions, such as availability and desired date and time. These recommended flights must also have vacant seats.
Next, a reservation rate estimation unit estimates the reservation rate for the recommended flights at a specific time point, which is predetermined to be a second time earlier than the desired departure date and time.
A recommended flight selection unit then selects the best recommended flight based on the highest reservation rate at the time of reservation acceptance or the highest estimated reservation rate among the recommended flights.
Finally, there is a recommended flight proposal unit that likely presents the selected recommended flight to the user.
