Abstract
Systems and techniques for determining staleness of a cached result for travel planning stored in a cache database are described. A first evaluation is performed to determine seat availability of flights associated with a cached result. A second evaluation is performed to determine a validity of one or more of a flight, fare, and fare rule associated with the cached result with the first evaluation performed at a higher rate of evaluations than a rate at which the second evaluation is performed.
Claims26
A method for determining staleness of a cached result for travel planning stored in a cache database, the method comprising:
- performing a first evaluation to determine seat availability of flights associated with a cached result;
- and
- performing a second evaluation to determine a validity of one or more of a flight, fare, and fare rule associated with the cached result with the first evaluation performed at a higher rate of evaluations than a rate at which the second evaluation is performed.
A system for determining staleness of a cached result for travel planning, the system comprising:
- a cache database configured to store the cached result;
- and
- an availability merging processor configured to:
- perform a first evaluation to determine seat availability of flights associated with a cached result;
- and
- perform a second evaluation to determine a validity of one or more of a flight, fare, and fare rule associated with the cached result with the first evaluation performed at a higher rate of evaluations than a rate at which the second evaluation is performed.
A computer program product for determining staleness of a cached result for travel planning stored in a cache database, the computer program product being tangibly stored on machine readable media, comprising instructions operable to cause one or more processors to:
- perform a first evaluation to determine seat availability of flights associated with a cached result;
- and
- perform a second evaluation to determine a validity of one or more of a flight, fare, and fare rule associated with the cached result with the first evaluation performed at a higher rate of evaluations than a rate at which the second evaluation is performed.
