Definitions
- This invention relates to on-line reservation systems and methods. It is particularly, but not exclusively, concerned with ticketing systems and methods for travel and events and also with reservation systems for hotels, venues and the like.
- social networking has become one of the biggest activities on the Internet.
- the most used social networking sites include Facebook (www.facebook. com) for personal networking and Linkedln (www.linkedin.com) for professional networking.
- Facebook www.facebook. com
- Linkedln www.linkedin.com
- service providers enabling users of social media sites to access third party goods and services from the social media sites.
- Satisfly Limited www.satisfly.org had proposed a service which aims to find compatible seat neighbours on airline flights.
- Booking aggregation web sites such as Tripit (www.tripit.com) and Doppler (www.dopplr.com) enable users to publish details of travel plans to contacts on social networking sites once those plans have been made. A user of these systems would make their travel reservations independently of these sites but then publish details to their contacts once the reservations have been made.
- the present invention aims to address that problem and to improve the interaction between reservation systems and social networking platforms such as web sites.
- a computerised on-line reservation method comprising the steps of: receiving a reservation enquiry at a computerised booking system from a user; receiving the user's identification on a social networking platform at the computerised booking system; storing the social networking identification of the user in a database associated with the computerised booking system; in response to a subsequent user submitting a reservation enquiry; retrieving a list of social networking identifications (SNIDs) for that user from the social networking platform, the list comprising a group of one or more other parties registered on the social networking platform with whom the subsequent user is associated; searching, at the computerised booking system, for third party reservations having at least one overlapping reservation criterion and an associated SNID from the subsequent user's list; and displaying to the subsequent user the SNID of a third party identified by the search together with information regarding the reservation,
- SNIDs social networking identifications
- This aspect of the invention also provides a computerised on-line reservation system, comprising: a computerised booking system for receiving a reservation enquiry from a user, the computerised booking system being configured to receive the user's identification on a social networking platform at the computerised booking system; a store for storing the social networking identification of the user in a database associated with the computerised booking system; the computerised booking system further being configured to, in response to receiving a reservation enquiry from a subsequent user; retrieve a list of social networking identifications (SNIDs) for that user from the social networking platform, the list comprising a group of one or more other parties registered on the social networking platform with whom the subsequent user is associated; the system further comprising a search engine for searching, at the computerised booking system, for third party reservations having at least one overlapping reservation criterion and an associated SNID from the subsequent user's list; and the computerised booking system being configured to send to the subsequent user for display, the SNID of a third party identified by the search together with information regarding the reservation.
- SNIDs
- Embodiments of the invention have the advantage that functionality of the social networking platform can be accessed and taken advantage of to enhance the reservation process by bringing to the attention of the reserving party reservations made by friends or contacts with whom they are associated on the social networking platform and which have at least one overlapping reservation criteria.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises, on sending the subsequent enquiry, sending a request to the social networking platform to retrieve the city of residence of each party in the subsequent user's list of associated parties; comparing the residences of the list of associated parties with the chosen destination of the subsequent user; and displaying in the subsequent user ' s browser, an identification of any party from the list recorded by the social networking platform as resident in the subsequent user's destination city.
- This embodiment has the advantage of drawing the subsequent user's attention to friends or contacts with whom he is associated who are listed on the social networking platform as living in the destination to which the subsequent user is intending to travel, thus enabling the subsequent user to contact them before travelling.
- the overlapping criterion comprises destination and date.
- the reservation system is a travel reservation system and the overlapping criterion comprises the instance of travel being reserved by the subsequent user.
- the instance of travel is one of a flight, rail journey, road journey or water journey. This embodiment has the advantage that the subsequent user can see which of their associated friends or contacts are booked onto a flight, or other form of travel, that they are considering booking.
- the method further comprises, on receipt of a check-in request message received at the booking engine from the user's browser, retrieving the identifications of the user's friends or contacts lists on the social networking platform and comparing the identifications of the friends or contacts lists with other passengers checked in or scheduled to check-in to the same journey as said user; and on finding a matching social networking ID, causing the user's browser to display the matching ID.
- This embodiment of the invention has the advantage of drawing the user's attention to associated friends or contacts at the time of check-in
- the reservation is a seat reservation and the third party's social networking ID is displayed together with the seat to which that ID has been allocated where the third party has checked in.
- the reservation is a room accommodation and the third party's social networking ID is displayed together with the room to which that ID has been allocated if the third party has checked-in.
- the user's social networking ID is received from the user as part of the reservation request.
- the ID may be retrieved the database associated with the booking system or from an associated booking system. This has the advantage of making the system easy to operate and requires a user to enter their social networking ID once after which it is available over a plurality of different platforms.
- a second aspect of the invention provides a computerised on-line check-in method for check-in into a previously made reservation, comprising the steps of: receiving a check-in request at a computerised booking system from a user computer via a browser; receiving the user's identification on a social networking platform at the computerised booking system; retrieving a list of social networking identifications (SNIDs) for that user from the social networking platform, the list comprising a group of one or more other parties registered on the social networking platform with whom the subsequent user is associated; searching, at the computerised booking system, for third party reservations having at least one overlapping criterion and an associated SNID from the subsequent user's list; and causing the user's browser to display the SNID of a third party identified by the search together with information regarding the reservation.
- SNIDs social networking identifications
- This aspect of the invention also provides a computerised on-line check-in system for check-in to a previously made reservation, comprising a computerised booking system configured to: receive a check-in request from a user; receive the user's identification on a social networking platform; retrieve a list of social networking identifications (SNIDs) for that user from the social networking platform, the list comprising a group of one or more other parties registered on the social networking platform with whom the subsequent user is associated; the system further comprising a search engine for searching for third party reservations having at least one overlapping criterion and an associated SNID from the subsequent user's list; the booking system further being configured to send to the user for display, the SNID of a third party identified by the search together with information regarding the reservation.
- SNIDs social networking identifications
- the reservation is a reservation for travel and the user's browser is caused to display the associated SNIDs of parties making the same journey.
- the booking system may determine whether a third party identified by the search has check-in and, if it has, displays the seat number of the third party in the user's browser.
- the reservation is a reservation for accommodation and the user's browser is caused to display the associated SNIDs or parties having booked the accommodation for an overlapping period.
- the booking system may determine whether a third party identified by the search has checked-in, and if it has, display the room number of the third party in the user's browser.
- the social network platform is a web browser.
- Figure 1 is a logical view of an embodiment of the invention enabling a reservation to be made
- Figure 2 is a screen shot presented to a user during the booking process
- Figure 3 is a logical view of an embodiment of the invention enabling a user to check-in;
- Figure 4 is a screen shot presented to the user during the check-in process.
- flight check-in and reservation any other form of transportation, including but not limited to trains, ships and cars. It is also applicable to other, non-travel related reservation systems such as events, venues, concerts, theatre, stadia, sports grounds and hotel and motel accommodation.
- the invention is not limited to systems and methods which handle reservations which require check-in after the reservation has been made.
- the air travel embodiment is given as an example only and is not to be construed as limiting.
- booking refers to a confirmed order
- reservation covers not only confirmed orders (bookings) but also tentative or putative orders that have not yet been confirmed.
- the following example uses Facebook (www.facebook.com) as an example of a social networking platform, in this case a web site.
- Facebook www.facebook.com
- the invention is not limited to any particular social networking platform or site and may be used with any suitable site including, but not limited to, Facebook (www.facebook.com); Bebo (www.bebo.com); Linkedin (www.linkedin.com); Twitter (www.twitter.com) and Piaxo (www.plaxo.com). It may also be used with social networks which are not hosted on websites, for example enterprise solutions within large companies. The only requirement of such a site is that users have a list of Friends or contacts, being a group of other users of the website or other platform who have consented to be associated with the user.
- Figure 1 shows a booking engine 10 which is a software tool for handling the booking of flights.
- the booking engine is resident on one or more servers and communicates with a reservation system 12 and a database 14 of booking or reservation data 14.
- the reservation system may also comprise a dedicated software application running on one or more servers. Users can communicate with the booking engine via conventional communication links through an Internet browser 16 on their computer which enables them also to communicate with a social networking web site 18.
- Social networking sites operate by registering users and assigning each registered user an identification.
- the social networking identification (ID) of a user making a booking is stored in the database 14 together with other particulars of the booking. These particulars include conventional reservation details such as city, date, class of travel, airline etc and will vary depending on the type of reservation made.
- the social networking identification data may be captured from multiple sources including, but not limited to, a call centre booking engine, a mobile booking engine, and an Internet booking engine.
- a customer interfaces with a booking system, either via the social networking web site of otherwise, they may be asked to input their social networking identification for future use.
- the booking system may be a single system into which reservations and bookings may be made from a number of different sources such as online, including via a social networking site, via a call centre booking engine and through other interfaces with the system.
- the social networking identification data may be stored in separate tables which may be accessed from any part of the system.
- a different user will access the booking engine via a social networking platform, in this example a web site.
- a user will typically make a search for flight availability to a particular destination on a particular day or around a particular date.
- the booking engine performs, in a known manner, an availability search for the airline against the airline reservation system 12, for example, a standard or other priced search, and returns data to the client browser 16 showing flight options and prices.
- This is a conventional step made as part of any online booking system. This step is shown by arrow 24 in Figure 1.
- the client browser 16 initiates an asynchronous enquiry to the booking engine sending a list of the users friends or contacts on the social networking site 18 together with the travel search criteria.
- An asynchronous enquiry is a known method of retrieving information from a server in the background without interfering with the display and behaviour of the existing page.
- the friends or contacts list is common to all social networking sites and will comprise a list of IDs in appropriate format for that social networking site.
- the list comprises the IDs of other users of the system who have consented to be associated with the user. As a result of that association the see information about the user posted to the website.
- the terminology used varies from site to site. Friends is used by Facebook and other personal networking sites, whereas Contacts is used by professional sites such as Linkedin.
- the reservation and check-in are described as made via a browser, in this case a web browser.
- a browser in this case a web browser.
- the social network may resident within an organisation and accessed via an API.
- the booking engine 10 searches the database 14 for other bookings that have already been stored and seeks to retrieve bookings where there is an overlap in the stored destination and dates and the social networking ID of these overlapping bookings is on the list of IDs communicated from the user via their browser.
- This overlap may be either be to identify IDs of friends or contacts on the same flights as have been returned by the search, or who will be in the same destination for all or a part of the duration of the trip being booked. Alternatively, both types of overlap may be identified.
- the social networking ID of the owner of the overlapping booking is then communicated to the user in their client browser together with other flight details. This process is illustrated by arrow 26 in Figure 1.
- the client browser initiates a further asynchronous enquiry to the social networking system 18 to retrieve the cities in which the friends on the user's friends list are recorded as living. If there are any friends who live in the destination city of the user's booking, the information is displayed alongside the flight options and prices. As this data includes friends or contacts who are not travelling, the search has to be made outside the reservation system.
- Figure 2 shows a flight search page displayed in the user's browser following a booking enquiry made following the process described above.
- the user has selected a Book Flight tab 30 and details of possible outbound flights are displayed. In this case the departure is from Miami to Atlanta on 9 October 2010.
- Illustrated at 32 are details of friends who have also flown to the same destination. These are the social networking IDs of friends returned by the search for overlapping destinations and dates. In this example, a single friend is identified by their user name (Thomas Puebbloclaro) together with an icon. The identification will differ depending on the social networking site being used.
- the ID also includes a link labelled "share with friends" that enables the user to share their travel plans with their list of friends on the social networking site.
- Beneath the ID of friends with an overlapping flight and destination is shown, at 34, a list of friends that the social networking system has indicated to be living in the destination city selected. In this case the name and icon of Stephane Cheikh is listed. This information may also be shared with other listed friends on the social networking web site.
- the system can determine which of a user's listed friends or contacts on that social networking site has an overlapping booking in terms of destination and dates. This may be flight specific or identify that they will be in the same place at the same time. Additionally, by interaction with the social networking website, the system can notify the user of any of their friends listed as friends on the social networking site that are recorded by the social networking site as being resident in their chosen destination city. It will be appreciated that the notification of friends in the destination city is not essential and may be omitted. Alternatively, the notification of friends in the destination city could be used without the notification of friends having overlapping flights and destinations. Another option is for the system to return to the user the IDs of friends or contacts who have travelled to the destination, so that the travelling party may contact them with a view to discussing their journey.
- Figures 3 and 4 illustrate a further embodiment which is concerned with the check-in process for a flight or other means of travel. It is also applicable to other types of reservation which require check-in for examples hotels and other types of accommodation. It was mentioned above that embodiments of the invention are broadly applicable to a variety of types of travel reservation and to event and accommodation reservation. It will be appreciated that some of the environments in which the system of Figures 1 and 2 can be used do not require the user to check-in, for example, where the reservation is for a numbered seat in a venue. In that case, the method and system of Figures 1 and 2 may be used in isolation.
- FIG 3 the elements of the system shown are the same as those of Figure 1 and carry the same reference numeral.
- the reservation system 12 is replaced by a Departure Control System 50 which interacts with individual airlines in a known manner.
- the reservation system and the departure control system may be resident on the same mainframe computer and will communicate with one another at a number of levels.
- a user will check-in after they have already made a reservation.
- Their social networking ID may already be stored in a check-in database 38 with other details of the flight for which they are checking in.
- This check-in database may be the same as, or in communication with, the booking database 14 of Figure 1 and the check-in process may comprise setting one or more flags against the reservation to show that the user has checked-in. If the user did not provide a social networking ID on reservation the user's social networking ID may be retrieved automatically as the user is logged into the social networking site and the ID is therefore known.
- the ID can be captured from multiple sources when checking-in including call centre check-in, mobile check-in and kiosk check- in.
- the Booking Engine initiates the check-in process on the airline reservation system and returns data to the client, for example in a web browser, showing the available seats for selection.
- the client browser initiates an asynchronous enquiry 40 to the booking engine.
- the client browser sends the list of the social networking identifications of their friends' or contacts' lists which is retrieved from the social networking website to the booking engine together with flight data such as fight number and departure date.
- the booking engine 10 searches at 42 for other bookings already stored and looks for IDs from that list which have already checked into the flight onto which the user is checking in so comparing IDs and flight data.
- the details of that user, together with their seat number are returned to the user's browser and displayed on a flight information screen alongside the check-in options.
- the flight information display is shown in Figure 4.
- the user has selected the check-in tab 38 which gives details of the flight in the form of a seat map.
- the details of the friend who has already checked in is displayed, as their user name and icon, to inform the user that one or more of their friends has already checked into the flight giving their seat number.
- the friend's seat allocation is also shown on the display.
- This information may be displayed in other ways, for example the seat number may be omitted or the system may ask the user whether they want to sit next to their friend.
- the system may also return details of friends who are booked on the flight, but have not yet checked in. In that case, the display will indicate that they are scheduled to travel on the flight but have not yet booked in.
- the system may display the ID of the friend or contact who is also staying in the hotel. Where that friend or contact has already check-in, the room number may also be displayed.
- Embodiments of the invention have the advantage that they utilise features of social networking platforms such as web sites that are common to all such platforms to enhance the booking and / or check-in process so that the user becomes aware of friends or contacts who are booked onto the same flight or checked in onto the same flight, who are travelling to the same destination over an overlapping period, or who are resident in the destination to which the user is travelling.
- Many modifications may be made to the embodiments described without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the system may return details of friends who are either visiting the destination at the same time as the user, in that their destination and times overlap as described, or will be travelling on the same flight that the user is searching. Both options may be provided.
- a user may be presented with several alternative flights together with details of one or more of their friends on any of those flights.
- the social networking website is interrogated to retrieve the user's friends or contacts list at the time of booking or checking-in.
- this step is performed when the user first registers or uses the system, that is when they first enter their own social networking ID into the system or an associated system from which it can be retrieved.
- the booking system does not need to interrogate the social networking website at the time of reservation or check-in which may make the process faster.
- the friends or contact list, which can be stored at the booking or check-in database may become out-of-date. This problem could be overcome by regular update enquiries to the social networking platform.
- the system may, at this point, identify parties who will be at the same destination at the same time or who are listed as resident in that destination as described with respect to the reservation process of figures 1 and 2.
