Abstract
An event management system is disclosed. The event management system includes a memory, a computer display, an event creation component, a conversion mapping component that maps passenger data from a user format into an application specific format; a group scheduling component that categorizes passengers into groups, a passenger management component, a vehicle management component, a staff management component, a versioning component, an invoicing component, and a data visualization component. Also disclosed is a computerized method for event planning.
Claims20
An event management system which includes computer processors for use in the travel industry comprising:
- a memory;
- a computer display;
- an event creation component, wherein a new event is identified including a name of the event, a sponsor of the event, a location and a contact person for the event;
- a conversion mapping component, wherein passenger data including names of passengers and flight information is mapped from a user format into an application specific format;
- a passenger management component, wherein mapped passenger data is deleted and changed and wherein a new passenger is added;
- a vehicle management component, wherein vehicle types are selected and a capacity of passengers for a vehicle type is modified;
- a group scheduling component, wherein passenger data, flight information, the vehicle types and the vehicle capacity for a vehicle type are processed and passengers are categorized into groups and placed in a service time;
- a staff management component, wherein staff are allocated to an event including greeters and drivers, wherein the staff's location and time of service are determined using the groups;
- a versioning component, wherein a first and a second version of the event including information on the groups is stored in the memory;
- an invoicing component, wherein invoices related to the event are generated;
- and
- a data visualization component, wherein information about the event is formatted for viewing on a computer and a signal carrying output data is sent to the computer display.
A computer program product to assist in event management comprising:
- a computer readable medium and computer readable code embodied on the computer readable medium for event management, the computer readable code comprising:
- computer readable program code devices configured to enable a processor to obtain information about an event including an event name, a sponsor, and a location;
- computer readable program code devices configured to enable a processor to convert a passenger manifest from one format to another;
- computer readable program code devices configured to enable a processor to change the converted passenger manifest;
- computer readable program code devices configured to enable a processor to effect a selection of vehicle types and capacity of vehicles;
- computer readable program code devices configured to enable a processor to categorize passengers into groups and identifying an expected service time by processing flight information, the vehicle types, and the vehicle capacity;
- computer readable program code devices configured to enable a processor to effect storing of passenger information and the passenger groups;
- computer readable program code devices configured to enable a processor to forecast a budget based on a price for the movement of one or more of the vehicle types;
- and
- computer readable program code devices configured to enable a processor to effect the display of the forecast budget and information about the event.
A computerized method for use in event planning comprising:
- obtaining information about an event including an event name, a sponsor, and a location;
- converting, using a computer, a passenger manifest from one format to another;
- processing changes to the converted passenger manifest;
- allowing a user to select more than one vehicle type and a capacity for a selected vehicle type;
- determining groups for passengers and identifying an expected service time for each group by processing flight information, the vehicle types, and the vehicle capacity;
- storing of passenger information and the passenger groups in a database;
- forecasting, using a computer, a budget based on a price for the movement of one or more of the vehicle types;
- and
- displaying the forecasted budget and information about the event.
