AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a system that automates and simplifies the tasks of creating, managing, caching data, and adjusting an itinerary, saving time and effort. Users can select general traits they would prefer to be associated with points of interest (POI) in their itinerary, specify the amount of money they would like to spend during travel, and specify the budget in exact or fuzzy terms. The system calculates an itinerary that satisfies the user's preferences and presents it to the user, who can either accept it as the final itinerary or further specify and fine-tune their preferences, until a satisfactory itinerary is created.

Problems solved by technology

None of the above provide for itinerary management, caching data and recalculation once a trip has begun.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]The principles and operation of a method and an apparatus according to the present invention may be better understood with reference to the drawings and the accompanying description, it being understood that these drawings are given for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to be limiting.

[0031]FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an exemplary embodiment illustrating creation of an itinerary, constructed according to the principles of the present invention. User preferences are collected 101, and accordingly an itinerary is constructed. The itinerary is presented to the user 102. Then, if the itinerary is satisfactory 103, operation is complete. Otherwise, more preferences are collected 101 and the cycle is repeated, until the itinerary is satisfactory.

[0032]FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of a preferred embodiment illustrating creation of an itinerary, constructed according to the principles of the present invention. User preferences 202 are collected via the cli...

Abstract

An automated method for operating a bimodal itinerary creation and management system. The method includes specifying by a user of his travel preferences and telling the system to plan and calculate an itinerary, calculating by the system of an itinerary meeting said user's travel preferences and presenting said itinerary to said user. The method also includes either accepting this as the final itinerary by the user or further specifying and fine tuning his preferences and finally recalculating the itinerary, until a sufficiently satisfactory itinerary is created.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to itinerary planning, and more particularly to a method and a system enabling one to automate and simplify the task of creating an itinerary.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Itinerary planning software is known in the art.[0003]US20070078729A1, Itinerary Planning Tool, System, Method, Software, And Hardware, by Brown, describes an activity-based itinerary planning tool permits a trip planner to incrementally build an itinerary, starting at a selected entry point and adding activities in a step-by-step manner, by taking into account commute times for different types of transportation and entry / exit conditions for particular activities / facilities, in order to present the user with lists of all activities / facilities that can be reached from the entry point or from already-selected activities / facilities. Also, an electronic marketplace for consumers and suppliers of activities is presented to meet and exchange. Consume...
