Patent number: 9922382Abstract: A travel reservation system having a common object model for representing disparate travel products and services. In general, the system may provide efficient integration relationships between the travel reservation system and various third-party travel providers by using a single common model and interface structure, regardless of the type of product or service being offered. The system may include translators for converting travel products and services conforming to the common object model into a corresponding provider-specific model, and vice versa. In some implementations, the use of the common object model may allow the system to provide a set of query results covering multiple different product types in response to a single query input.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: NAVITAIRE LLCInventors: Martin J. Drefs, Jefferson Bridger Walsh

Patent number: 9489643Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for updating data stored within the database. In some implementations, actions include determining a cut-off date, defining a first group of data within a first table based on the cut-off date, defining a second group of data within the first table based on the cut-off date, providing the second group of data in a second table, converting the first group of data from a first data structure to a second data structure to provide converted first data within the first table, making the converted first data available for access over a network, converting the second group of data from the first data structure to the second data structure to provide converted second data in the second table, and making the converted second data available for access over the network.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2014Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: NAVITAIRE LLCInventors: Sam Jason Coverston, Samuel William Ashworth, Jefferson Bridger Walsh

Patent number: 7899692Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a system that includes a user interface to receive an electronic status change for an airline flight and an airline reservation system to determine whether at least one ancillary travel service associated with the airline flight should be modified based on the received electronic status change. The system includes a messaging interface to electronically transmit a request to modify the at least one ancillary travel service based on the electronic status change if the determination is made to modify the at least one ancillary travel service. The messaging interface further electronically transmits payment information to the travel service provider for use in crediting or debiting a payment associated with the at least one modified ancillary travel service. The payment information is associated with a customer that reserved the at least one ancillary travel service.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2008Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Gerardino Canciller Caballero, David P. Evans, Terry Wayne Hornbaker, Martin J. Drefs, Jefferson Bridger Walsh
