Abstract
Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: obtaining a travel plan of a user including one or more travel item. Success values of respective travel items are calculated based on respective preferences by the user for each travel item in respective SV categories. Real time data relevant to the travel items are acquired and success values are updated for any predicted changes to any travel items, as caused by the real time data. The changes and updated SV is produced to the user.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for providing a real time travel contingency service, comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more processor, a travel plan of a user including one or more travel item;
- calculating, by the one or more processor, a success value (SV) corresponding to the travel plan, based on how the user prefers each of the one or more travel item amongst choices from respective SV categories corresponding to each travel item;
- acquiring, by the one or more processor, real time data relevant to the one or more travel item in the travel plan;
- updating, by the one or more processor, the SV corresponding to the travel plan, according to any changes with the one or more travel item as being predicted based on the real time data from the acquiring;
- and
- producing, by the one or more processor, the changes and the updated SV corresponding to the travel plan to the user.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processor and storing instructions for execution by the one or more processor for performing a method for providing a real time travel contingency service, comprising:
- obtaining a travel plan of a user including one or more travel item;
- calculating a success value (SV) corresponding to the travel plan, based on how the user prefers each of the one or more travel item amongst choices from respective SV categories corresponding to each travel item;
- acquiring real time data relevant to the one or more travel item in the travel plan;
- updating the SV corresponding to the travel plan, according to any changes with the one or more travel item as being predicted based on the real time data from the acquiring;
- and
- producing the changes and the updated SV corresponding to the travel plan to the user.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- one or more processor in communication with memory;
- and
- program instructions executable by the one or more processor via the memory to perform a method for providing a real time travel contingency service, comprising:
- obtaining a travel plan of a user including one or more travel item;
- calculating a success value (SV) corresponding to the travel plan, based on how the user prefers each of the one or more travel item amongst choices from respective SV categories corresponding to each travel item;
- acquiring real time data relevant to the one or more travel item in the travel plan;
- updating the SV corresponding to the travel plan, according to any changes with the one or more travel item as being predicted based on the real time data from the acquiring;
- and
- producing the changes and the updated SV corresponding to the travel plan to the user.
