Abstract
In a method and system for managing access rights, a listing for each of a plurality of access rights is received, and a request for a desired access right from a user is received, wherein the request includes a desired time period and a desired resource. A matching access right of the plurality of access rights is determined. Upon determining that an access right is not available, the request is placed on a standby list and a standby notification is sent to the user, including a position on the standby list, wherein the matching access right is reserved for the user when the request is in a top position on the standby list.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processing device, a listing for each of a plurality of access rights, each access right having a corresponding time, a corresponding resource, and a corresponding access fee;
- receiving, by the processing device, a request for a desired access right from a user, wherein the request comprises a desired time period and a desired resource;
- determining, by the processing device, a matching access right of the plurality of access rights, wherein the corresponding time of the matching access right is within the desired time period and the corresponding resource of the matching access right matches the desired resource;
- determining that the matching access right is not available;
- placing, by the processing device, the request in a position on a standby list;
- and
- sending, to the user, a standby notification comprising the position on the standby list, wherein the matching access right is reserved for the user when the request is in a top position on the standby list.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, a listing for each of a plurality of access rights, each access right having a corresponding time, a corresponding resource, and a corresponding access fee;
- receiving a request for a desired access right from a user, wherein the request comprises a desired time period and a desired resource;
- determining a matching access right of the plurality of access rights, wherein the corresponding time of the matching access right is within the desired time period and the corresponding resource of the matching access right matches the desired resource;
- determining that the matching access right is not available;
- placing the request in in a position on a standby list;
- and
- sending, to the user, a standby notification comprising the position on the standby list, wherein the matching access right is reserved for the user when the request is in a top position on the standby list.
A computing device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the memory, wherein the processing device is to:
- receive, a listing for each of a plurality of access rights, each access right having a corresponding time, a corresponding resource, and a corresponding access fee;
- receive a request for a desired access right from a user, wherein the request comprises a desired time period and a desired resource;
- determine a matching access right of the plurality of access rights, wherein the corresponding time of the matching access right is within the desired time period and the corresponding resource of the matching access right matches the desired resource;
- determining that the matching access right is not available;
- place the request in a position on a standby list;
- and
- send, to the user, a standby notification comprising a position on the standby list, wherein the matching access right is reserved for the user when the request is in a top position on the standby list.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processing device, a listing for each of a plurality of access rights, each access right having a corresponding resource and a corresponding access fee;
- receiving, by the processing device, a request for a desired access right from a user, wherein the request comprises a desired resource;
- determining, by the processing device, a matching access right of the plurality of access rights, wherein the corresponding resource of the matching access right matches the desired resource;
- determining that the matching access right is not available;
- placing, by the processing device, the request in a position on a standby list;
- and sending, to the user, a standby notification comprising the position on the standby list, wherein the matching access right is reserved for the user when the request is in a top position on the standby list.
