US 2014/0372867 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A CONTEXTUAL USER INTERFACE ELEMENT

Abstract

Systems and methods for providing a contextual user interface element are provided. A described system includes a user device configured to receive, from a remote server, itinerary-specific data relating to a particular travel itinerary and information for accessing a travel website for performing a travel-related action. The user device is configured to present the itinerary-specific data in a contextual user interface element on the user device concurrently with a web page of the travel website for performing the travel-related action. The itinerary-specific data are presented as selectable data elements within the contextual user interface element. The user device is configured to receive a user selection of a selectable data element and to execute instructions for copying the itinerary-specific data from the contextual user interface element to a form field of the travel website in response to the user selection.

Dependent claims

A system for facilitating interactions between a travel website and a user device, the system comprising:

a user device configured to receive, from a remote server, itinerary-specific data relating to a particular travel itinerary and information for accessing a travel website for performing a travel-related action;
wherein the user device is configured to present the itinerary-specific data in a contextual user interface element on the user device concurrently with a web page of the travel website for performing the travel-related action, wherein the itinerary-specific data are presented as selectable data elements within the contextual user interface element;
wherein the user device is configured to receive a user selection of a selectable data element and to execute instructions for copying the itinerary-specific data from the contextual user interface element to a form field of the travel website in response to the user selection.

A method for facilitating interactions between a travel website and a user device, the method comprising:

initiating, at a remote server, synchronization of itinerary-specific data and instructions for performing a travel-related action with a user device;
retrieving itinerary-specific data relating to the particular travel itinerary from an itinerary database;
identifying, by the remote server, information for accessing a travel website for performing the travel-related action;
generating, by the remote server, instructions for presenting the itinerary-specific data in a contextual user interface element on the user device, the instructions including instructions for presenting the contextual user interface element concurrently with a webpage of the travel website for performing the travel-related action;
and
providing the itinerary-specific data, the information for accessing the travel website, and the instructions for presenting the itinerary-specific data in the contextual user interface element to the user device.
