Abstract: The present specification provides, amongst other things, a novel system, method and apparatus for real time travel searches. Certain implementations contemplate a collaboration platform that can receive a natural language query from an electronic platform that includes unstructured travel search queries. The collaboration engine cooperates with a large language model engine to generate a natural language response and structured queries from the unstructured queries. The structured queries are sent to travel actor engines. Itinerary responses from the travel actor engines are substituted for the structured query by the collaboration platform, so that the natural language response along with the itinerary responses are sent back to the electronic device.

Abstract: The present specification provides, amongst other things, a novel resource optimization engine. In one example system, a plurality of collaboration platforms and travel booking engines and client devices are provided that connect to the optimization engine. The plurality of collaboration platforms manage the accounts of client devices that collaborate. The system includes an optimization engine configured to optimize travel and scheduling itineraries between different collaborators.

Abstract: A device, system and method for distributing and locally persisting provider objects is provided. A first device provides, in a provider object stream, first indications of first provider objects, generated and locally persisted in association with a first region, to a second device associated with a second region. The first device receives, in the stream, from the second device, second indications of second provider objects generated locally persisted in association with the second region, the second indications including respective identifiers identifying the second region. The first device: discards given second provider objects, indicated by the second indications, which do not meet a local persistence condition; and locally persists other second provider objects, as indicated by the second indications, which meet the local persistence condition, the other second provider objects locally persisted in association with the first region.

Abstract: A device, system and method for synchronizing databases. A device or devices(s) maintain an event database and a shared event database, the event database comprising event data containers indicative of given events associated with a plurality of network addresses, and the shared event database comprising shareable data containers indicative of respective events associated with respective individual network addresses. The device or devices(s) compare a shareable data container, stored at the shared event database, with an event data container, stored at the event database. The device or devices(s), in response to determining that a respective event indicated by the shareable data container is associated with a given event indicated by the event data container, synchronize, via the communication interface, the event database and the shared event database by adding at least a portion of the shareable data container to the event data container.
