A method for maintaining a cache database storing cached results for travel planning, the method comprising:
- receiving results generated from a travel planning system, the results including travel parameters of a plurality of trips;
- and
- generating summary information from the results, the summary information including a first parameter corresponding to a combination of different parameters of the trips, with the summary information including less information than a complete pricing solution for a trip.
A system for maintaining a cache database storing cached results for travel planning, the system comprising:
- a poller configured to receive results generated from a travel planning system, the results including travel parameters of a plurality of trips;
- and
- a processor configured to generate summary information from the results, the summary information including a first parameter corresponding to a combination of different parameters of the trips, with the summary information including less information than a complete pricing solution for a trip.
A computer program product for maintaining a cache database storing cached results for travel planning, the computer program product being tangibly stored on machine readable media, comprising instructions operable to cause one or more processors to:
- receive results generated from a travel planning system, the results including travel parameters of a plurality of trips;
- and
- generate summary information from the results, the summary information including a first parameter corresponding to a combination of different parameters of the trips, with the summary information including less information than a complete pricing solution for a trip.
