Publication number: 20140200933Abstract: This document describes a computer-implemented method for guiding a user through a travel check-in procedure. The method includes receiving passenger identification information associated with a passenger checking in for a travel segment, and determining a check-in status of the passenger using the passenger identification information. The method also includes generating a check-in workflow based on the check-in status of the passenger. The method further includes providing for display on a user interface a current step in the check-in workflow, the current step corresponding to a current action in the check-in workflow to be completed by a user, and upon request of the user to continue to a next step in the workflow, providing for display on the user interface the next step in the check-in workflow, the next step corresponding to a next action in the check-in workflow to be completed by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Inventors: Thomas Walter Heinrich Mehl, Eric Allan Frome, Divish Priya Ranjan, Rosalie Mack Phillips, Seth Aaron Horowitz

Publication number: 20140058771Abstract: This document describes a computer-implemented method for facilitating a check-in finalization process for a travel passenger. The method includes receiving one or more check-in parameters related to a check-in procedure for a passenger checking in for a travel segment, and determining from the received check-in parameters a check-in workflow status corresponding to which of a plurality of steps of the check-in procedure have been completed. The method also includes identifying one or more finalization actions that are available for finalizing the check-in procedure based on the check-in workflow status. The method further includes determining a primary finalization action from the one or more finalization actions, the primary finalization action being the finalization action most likely to be taken to finalize the check-in procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2013Publication date: February 27, 2014Inventors: Thomas Walter Heinrich Mehl, Eric Allan Frome, Divish Priya Ranjan, Rosalie Mack Phillips, Seth Aaron Horowitz

Publication number: 20120123812Abstract: Scarce resources, such as goods and/or services, can be allocated to customers according to score values associated with each customer that is a candidate to receive such resources in order to achieve an optimal allocation of resources, as determined by a business or other entity or organization that provides the goods and/or services. Each score value is generated automatically according to a set of predetermined rules based on profile information associated with the customer, including attributes of the customer, and based on information regarding goods and/or services purchased by the customer. A current context is used to determine an event and/or an event class, and the set of rules associated with the event or event class is used in generating the score value for one or more customers that are implicated by the current context, such as individuals affected by or eligible for the event.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2010Publication date: May 17, 2012Inventors: Terry Wayne Hornbaker, Michael A. Padgen, Raelynn A. Sink, Seth Aaron Horowitz
