Abstract
Systems and techniques for presenting travel planning information to a user are described. First and second cached travel options are retrieved from a cache that stores travel planning travel options. The first cached result is obtained in response to submitting a travel query to a travel planning system at a first time, and the second cached result is obtained in response to submitting the travel query to a travel planning system at a second, different time. The first, retrieved cached result is compared to the second, retrieved cached result; and a change, if detected, is reported to the user.
Claims49
A method for presenting travel information to a user, the method comprising:
- retrieving first and second cached travel options from a cache that stores travel planning travel options, the first cached result obtained in response to submitting a travel query to a travel planning system at a first time and the second cached result obtained in response to submitting the travel query to a travel planning system at a second, different time;
- comparing the first, retrieved cached result to the second, retrieved cached result;
- detecting a change between the first and second cached travel options;
- reporting the change to the user;
- and
- receiving a payment from the user.
A method for presenting travel information, the method comprising:
- retrieving cached travel options from a cache database corresponding to a trip of interest to a user, the cache storing predetermined travel options;
- and
- rendering information related to the cached travel options on a display.
A system for presenting travel information to a user, the system comprising:
- a cache storing travel planning travel options;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- retrieve first and second cached travel options from the cache, the first cached result obtained in response to submitting a travel query to a travel planning system at a first time and the second cached result obtained in response to submitting the travel query to a travel planning system at a second, different time;
- compare the first, retrieved cached result to the second, retrieved cached result;
- detect a change between the first and second cached travel options;
- report the change to the user;
- and
- receive a payment from the user.
A system for presenting travel information, the system comprising:
- a cache database storing cached travel options corresponding to a trip of interest to a user;
- a processor configured to retrieve the cached travel options from the cache database;
- and
- a display configured to render information related to the cached travel options.
A computer program product for presenting travel information to a user, the computer program product being tangibly stored on machine readable media, comprising instructions operable to cause one or more processors to:
- retrieve first and second cached travel options from a cache that stores travel planning travel options, the first cached result obtained in response to submitting a travel query to a travel planning system at a first time and the second cached result obtained in response to submitting the travel query to a travel planning system at a second, different time;
- compare the first, retrieved cached result to the second, retrieved cached result;
- detect a change between the first and second cached travel options;
- report the change to the user;
- and
- receive a payment from the user.
