System and methods for real-time, interactive transmission of information about travel schedules and creation of travel schedules are provided. A user defines desired travel parameters, such as dates, times, costs and the like related to a travel component. Travel components are reviewed to determine if traveler parameters are triggered. If a travel component triggers traveler parameters, options for other travel components may be determined. A user may be contacted and communicated information about the travel component and options, thereby allowing a user to interactively create a travel schedule.
A method for providing interactive real-time transmission of travel information to a user having at least one traveler parameter set by the user as a trigger condition, the method comprising:

This invention relates to a system and method for creation and automatic deployment of personalized, dynamic and interactive voice services relating to subscriber travel, including information derived from on-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems. More specifically, the invention relates to a system and method that enable personalized delivery of travel-related information in real-time, via natural language voice communication with a voice-enabled terminal device.
Various systems exist for enabling users to create travel schedules. One system for creating travel schedules comprises a user physically visiting or calling a travel agent. For example, a user may visit a travel agent to create a travel schedule, such looking airline flights, car reservations, hotel reservations and other travel arrangements. This system may suffer from the drawback of requiring a user to initiate a search. Further, such a system may not enable a user to achieve the lowest cost.
These and other drawbacks exist.
FIG. 1a is a flow chart of a method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1b is a flow chart indicating a method of generating a voice service according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1c is a flow chart indicating a method for interactive voice broadcasting according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention is described in relation to providing interactive, real-time information modification related to travel schedules, and more particularly to real-time, interactive telephone communication of canceled airline flights and options to reschedule.
FIGS. 1-8 depict a system and method relating to a telephone notification and execution system that may be used to implement the present invention. This system is described in detail below.
For purposes of explaining the present invention, a specific embodiment of the present invention is set forth. A user may be subscribed to a travel voice service. Information for a user may be specified, including specifying personal preferences to content and presentation of content. Traveler parameters may be defined as triggers to notify the user when the parameters are satisfied, including dates, times, costs, destinations, and other parameters. According to the specific embodiment of this example, a user may define Chicago as the origination, Florida as a destination, with a departure to Florida on February 5-7 and a departure from Florida on February 19-21, with flight times between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. A user may further define a cost not to exceed $250.00 for a round trip airline flight.
