Dynamic filtering and precision alteration of query responses responsive to request load

A system for processing assignments of electronic tickets to events by server load-based representation of access-right characteristics, comprising:

• one or more data processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed on the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform operations including:
• identifying a request load for an event, the request load representing a processing load imposed on a server by a quantity of requests received from one or more user devices, each request of the quantity of requests requesting one or more electronic tickets to the event during a time period, each electronic ticket of the one or more electronic tickets being associated with a characteristic that characterizes the electronic ticket, and characteristic being representable at a plurality of levels of precision;
• determining a level of precision, from amongst the plurality of levels of precision, for representing the characteristic in response to receiving the quantity of requests, one or more requests of the quantity of requests being for unassigned electronic tickets to the event, the level of precision being determined individually for each request of the one or more requests, the level of precision being determined based on the request load existing at a time of receiving each request of the one or more requests during the time period, and the level of precision indicating how precisely the characteristic is presented to user devices in response to queries for unassigned electronic tickets to the event;
• receiving a first communication from a user device, the first communication corresponding to a request to query the server for unassigned electronic tickets to the event;
• identifying an initial access constraint that specifies a value or a range of the characteristic of unassigned electronic tickets, the initial access constraint being identified based on the first communication;
• in response to identifying the initial access constraint, querying a data store for one or more unassigned electronic tickets that satisfy the initial access constraint;
• in response to the querying, receiving a query response including a set of electronic tickets, each electronic ticket in the set of electronic tickets being unassigned and satisfying the initial access constraint;
• generating one or more result variables, each result variable of the one or more result variables representing the characteristic of an electronic ticket from amongst the set of electronic tickets, and the representation of the characteristic of each electronic ticket in the set of electronic tickets being in accordance with the determined level of precision of the plurality of levels of precision;
• and
• transmitting a second communication to the user device, the second communication including the one or more result variables.

A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions configured to cause a data processing apparatus to perform operations including:

• identifying a request load for an event, the request load representing a processing load imposed on a server by a quantity of requests received from one or more user devices, each request of the quantity of requests requesting one or more electronic tickets to the event during a time period, each electronic ticket of the one or more electronic tickets being associated with a characteristic that characterizes the electronic ticket, and characteristic being representable at a plurality of levels of precision;
• determining a level of precision, from amongst the plurality of levels of precision, for representing the characteristic in response to receiving the quantity of requests, one or more requests of the quantity of requests being for unassigned electronic tickets to the event, the level of precision being determined individually for each request of the one or more requests, the level of precision being determined based on the request load existing at a time of receiving each request of the one or more requests during the time period, and the level of precision indicating how precisely the characteristic is presented to user devices in response to queries for unassigned electronic tickets to the event;
• receiving a first communication from a user device, the first communication corresponding to a request to query the server for unassigned electronic tickets to the event;
• identifying an initial access constraint that specifies a value or a range of the characteristic of unassigned electronic tickets, the initial access constraint being identified based on the first communication;
• in response to identifying the initial access constraint, querying a data store for one or more unassigned electronic tickets that satisfy the initial access constraint;
• in response to the querying, receiving a query response including a set of electronic tickets, each electronic ticket in the set of electronic tickets being unassigned and satisfying the initial access constraint;
• generating one or more result variables, each result variable of the one or more result variables representing the characteristic of an electronic ticket from amongst the set of electronic tickets, and the representation of the characteristic of each electronic ticket in the set of electronic tickets being in accordance with the determined level of precision of the plurality of levels of precision;
• and
• transmitting a second communication to the user device, the second communication including the one or more result variables.
