Abstract: Computer apparatus for generating a graphical user interface on a display screen. The graphical user interface has a first command interface area for inputting and displaying cryptic commands for the definition of a search request, and a form-based second command interface area having fields for displaying parameters of the search request. The computer apparatus further includes an area for coupling the first and the second command interface areas such that the input of cryptic commands with the first command interface area generates a pseudo-simultaneous display of parameters reflecting at least some of the cryptic commands. The coupling means may include means for parsing the cryptic commands, program instructions for extracting structured data from the cryptic commands, means for storing the structured data within JavaScript objects, and program instructions for filling fields of the second command interface area by mapping the structured data.

Abstract: A computer apparatus includes i) a graphical user interface with a first command interface area for inputting and displaying cryptic commands for the definition of a search request and a form-based second command interface area having fields for displaying parameters of the search request, and ii) a coupling part for coupling the first and the second command interface areas such that the input of cryptic commands generates a pseudo-simultaneous display of parameters reflecting at least some of the cryptic commands, the elements for coupling including elements for parsing the cryptic commands, program instructions for extracting structured data from the cryptic commands, elements for storing the structured data within JavaScript objects, and program instructions for filling fields of the second command interface area by mapping the structured data.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for building a travel plan for an event. Departure location and preference information associated with one or more users of a media platform is received from a social media platform. The preference information may be further associated with one or more event hosts. Future event information for at least one of the event hosts is then accessed. The future event information is provided to the one or more users of the media platform. Initial travel pricing information for an initial travel option is accessed by the one or more users from the departure location to at least one of the future events from one or more travel databases. The initial travel pricing information for at least the initial travel option to the future events is then provided to the one or more users of the media platform.

Abstract: Method of searching for travel products related to trip components of a trip includes building a search request by inputting search criteria for a plurality of trip components in a single search window of a user interface of a user device; sending the search request to an application server for initiating a search process; wherein the search process includes, at the application server, splitting the search request to build sub-requests each related to one single trip component of the trip and sending in parallel each of the sub-requests to at least one provider of travel products related to the trip component of the sub-request.

Abstract: A method for assisting a person in viewing results of a database query uses query parameters to obtain query results from a database. A user interface displays a table having a selector column. The selector column includes a plurality of rows, with each row representing a set of values for a parameter selectable by a user from a set of selectable parameters. The table also has a selector row that includes a plurality of columns. Each column represents a set of values for a parameter selectable by a user from a set of selectable parameters. Parameters relate to data of the database, and some are computed or derived from database fields. A parameter may be a measure of a degree to which a travel itinerary satisfies a company or managed travel bias. The table further includes selector cells, with each cell corresponding to a row and column. A user can select subsets of query results for display in an answer table by selecting a column, row, or cell of the selection table.
