[0032] The following uses specific specific examples to illustrate the implementation manners of the present application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the information disclosed in the present application. The present application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementation manners. Various details in the present application can also be modified or changed according to different viewpoints and application systems without departing from the spirit of the present application. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.

[0033] The following takes the accompanying drawings as a reference and details the embodiments of the present application so that those skilled in the technical field to which the present application belongs can easily implement it. The present application can be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0034] In the description of the present application, the reference terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples", etc., mean that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics represented in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics represented can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples represented in the present application and the features of the different embodiments or examples.

[0035] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0036] In order to clearly illustrate the present application, devices irrelevant to the description are omitted, and the same or similar constituent elements throughout the specification are given the same reference numerals.

[0037] Throughout the specification, when it is said that a device is "connected" to another device, this includes not only the case of "direct connection", but also the case of "indirect connection" with other elements interposed therebetween. In addition, when it is said that a certain device "includes" a certain constituent element, unless there is a particularly contrary record, it does not exclude other constituent elements, but means that other constituent elements may also be included.

[0038] Although in some instances the terms first, second, etc. are used herein to denote various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, the first interface and the second interface, etc. are indicated. Furthermore, as used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context indicates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms "comprising", "including" indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, modules, items, kinds, and / or groups, but do not preclude the presence, occurrence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, modules, items, kinds, and / or groups. The terms "or" and "and / or" used herein are to be construed as inclusive, or meaning any one or any combination. Thus, "A, B or C" or "A, B and / or C" means "any one of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A, B and C". An exception to this definition only occurs when the combination of elements, functions, steps or operations are mutually exclusive in some way.

[0039] The technical terms used herein are only for referring to specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular form used herein also includes the plural form as long as the statement does not clearly indicate the contrary meaning. The meaning of "including" used in the specification is to embody specific characteristics, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components, and does not exclude the existence or addition of other characteristics, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components.

[0040] Relative spatial terms such as "lower", "upper", etc. may be used to more easily explain the relationship of one device shown in the drawings relative to another device. Such terms refer to not only the meaning indicated in the drawings, but also other meanings or operations of the device in use. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a certain device that was described as "lower" than other devices is then described as "upper" than other devices. Therefore, the exemplary term "lower" includes both upper and lower. The device may be rotated 90° or other angles, and the relative spatial terms are interpreted accordingly.

[0041] Although not defined differently, including technical terms and scientific terms used herein, all terms shall have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the technical field to which this application pertains. Terms defined in commonly used dictionaries are additionally interpreted to have meanings consistent with relevant technical literature and the currently presented information. Unless otherwise defined, they shall not be overly interpreted as ideal or highly formulaic meanings.

[0042] Currently, some airlines offer preferential flights for members, that is, only by registering for the membership of the airline can one enjoy the preferential conditions for the tickets of this flight, such as price discounts, etc. This requires users who book such tickets to manually visit the airline's website or transfer through an intermediary platform to the airline and manually enter the information required for registration to complete the membership registration, which is very inconvenient.

[0043] In view of this, in the embodiments of the present application, a solution is provided. A corresponding airline registration identifier is generated based on the user's selection of a preferential flight for members when booking a ticket, so as to transmit the airline registration identifier together during the process of transmitting the user input information to book a ticket, for triggering the action of membership registration and realizing automated membership registration and booking of tickets at the corresponding preferential prices.

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, a schematic diagram of the application scenario in the embodiments of the present application is presented.

[0045] In this application scenario, a communication system is shown. The communication system includes a user terminal 101, a business travel management platform 102, and a service system 103. The user terminal 101 is connected to the business travel management platform 102, and the business travel management platform 102 is connected to the service system 103. The user terminal 101 communicates with the business travel management platform 102 to perform flight inquiries and information input when booking a ticket. The business travel management platform 102 obtains the flight information queried and selected by the user terminal 101 when booking a ticket, and determines whether it is a preferential flight for members according to its product rules. If so, a corresponding airline registration identifier is generated. Furthermore, when the business travel management platform 102 places an order for a ticket with the service system 103, it will transmit the input information and the airline registration identifier in an associated manner. The service system 103 can transmit the input information and the registered member identifier to the system of the airline corresponding to the preferential flight for members (abbreviated as "airline") to create a ticket purchase order through the airline and complete the membership registration at the same time, and can return the ticket purchase order to the user terminal for the user to pay at the preferential price for members. Thus, it can be realized that during the process of the user booking a ticket, the membership registration at the airline through the input information is automatically triggered, improving the convenience and experience of the user.

[0046] It should be noted in particular that the user groups connected by the business travel management platform 102 are basically all institutions (such as enterprises, etc.), and the business travel service requirements of institutions need to purchase tickets in batches. Through the above solution, member registration can be completed automatically and in batches for each person in the institution (such as passengers, contacts, etc.), which can effectively save working time and improve work efficiency and the user experience of institutional personnel.

[0047] In some embodiments, the user terminal 101 can be implemented on devices held by institutional staff, such as desktop computers, laptop computers, mobile terminals (such as smart phones, tablet computers, or PDAs, etc.), or wearable devices (such as smart watches, smart bracelets, smart glasses, or smart helmets, etc.). In some embodiments, the business travel management platform 102 can be implemented on a server, a server group, or other distributed network systems, etc. In some embodiments, the service system 103 can be implemented on a server, a server group, or other distributed network systems, etc.

[0048] In some embodiments, the user terminal 101, the business travel management platform 102, and the service system 103 can be connected through a network. There can be multiple networks, including multiple wired and / or wireless local area networks, and can also include a wide area network connecting the local area networks. For example, the user terminal 101 is implemented on a smart phone and accesses the mobile core network through the wireless mobile network of the mobile operator. The mobile core network is connected to the data network and is connected to the service system 103 through the data network. The service system 103 is connected to the airline's system through a wired interconnection network.

[0049] Through Figure 1 The communication system in the embodiment has made a general description of the automated airline member registration in the ticket reservation. The following is a detailed description through a specific process.

[0050] As Figure 2 shown, it shows a schematic diagram of the member registration process in the embodiment of the present application. The communication interaction process occurs between the user terminal, the business travel management platform, and the service system.

[0051] Step S201: The user queries at least one flight from the business travel management platform on the ticket reservation interface displayed on the user terminal.

[0052] In some embodiments, corresponding to the business travel scenarios of institutions (such as enterprises and institutions), they may batch-select multiple flights and multiple passengers at one time to generate a ticket purchase order, that is, purchase multiple tickets of the corresponding quantity. Therefore, all of the multiple flights may be member preferential flights, or some may be member preferential flights and some may be ordinary flights, etc. In addition, booking tickets for multiple passengers at one time can be for the same flight or for different flights.

[0053] Step S202: The business travel management platform obtains the selected at least one flight, and generates an airline registration identifier corresponding to the member preferential flights among the at least one flight.

[0054] In some embodiments, the business travel management platform may generate an airline registration identifier for each member preferential flight that is queried and determined; alternatively, it may also generate an airline registration identifier according to at least one member preferential flight selected by the user from the queried flights.

[0055] In some embodiments, the business travel management platform may obtain the product rules of the flights selected by the user terminal, determine that the flight is a member preferential flight according to the content of the product rules such as member preferences, and generate an airline registration identifier correspondingly for associating with the member preferential flight and the relevant user. For example, a certain flight number (the flight can be replaced by the flight itinerary, and the flight number is replaced by the itinerary number) is associated with an airline registration identifier to indicate that the flight is a member preferential flight. Another example is that a certain passenger of the member preferential flight is associated with an airline registration identifier to indicate that the passenger needs to register as a member; combining the flight number corresponding to the member preferential flight obtained from the user's selection of the flight during booking, and further determining the airline corresponding to the member preferential flight according to the flight number, the airline can be found from the queried airlines to register the member for this passenger.

[0056] Thus, in the subsequent steps, the airline registration identifier can be transmitted together with the input information to complete the registration of the corresponding airline member during the process of creating a ticket purchase order according to the input information.

[0057] Step S203: The business travel management platform obtains the input information used by the user terminal to generate a ticket purchase order.

[0058] When the user books a ticket, information needs to be input for creating a ticket purchase order. Among them, the input information includes the user information of at least one user and the flight information of at least one queried flight. The user information is used for creating a ticket purchase order on the one hand; on the other hand, at least part of the information can be used to meet the requirements of airline member registration. Therefore, in the ticket booking interface provided to the user, comprehensive user information fields can be pre-designed to obtain comprehensive input information, so as to meet both the requirements of creating a ticket purchase order and the requirements of different airline member registrations.

[0059] In some embodiments, the user includes a passenger. Correspondingly, the passenger information of the passenger includes some or all of the passenger name, document type (such as ID card, driver's license, military officer's certificate, etc.), document number (such as ID card number, driver's license number, military officer's certificate number, etc.), and contact phone number for airline membership registration. Optionally, it may further include a contact person who contacts the business travel management platform on behalf of the passenger. The contact information of the contact person should at least include the document number for airline membership registration.

[0060] Step S204: The business travel management platform transmits the input information and the airline registration identifier to the service system in an associated manner.

[0061] In some embodiments, to support scenarios such as multi-passenger and multi-leg registration (such as single-passenger registration for one leg, multi-passenger registration for one leg, etc.) and ensure the reusability of the process, when the business travel management platform transmits the input information and the airline registration identifier, the input information is transmitted to the service system in a preset manner associated with the airline registration identifier in terms of the leg and user dimensions. Each leg may correspond to a flight. For example, a direct flight from A to B is one leg, a flight from A to C and then transferring to B is two legs, AC and CB, and a flight from B to A is one leg. Since flights and flight numbers are used by airlines, the business travel management platform can use legs and leg numbers as a substitute, which is more convenient for the business travel management platform.

[0062] In some embodiments, the service system may provide an application programming interface (API) for receiving the input information and the airline registration identifier, such as a create order interface; the description of the create order interface defines the value passing rules for constraining the form of the transmission of the input information and the airline registration identifier, that is, the business travel management platform can transmit the input information and the airline registration identifier to the service system according to this value passing rule to form the association between each leg, user dimension and the airline registration identifier. In a possible example, the create order interface of the service system provides a passenger node for receiving the passenger information of each passenger and can identify the incoming airline registration identifier to trigger the membership registration of the passenger.

[0063] In an example, for the situation where a user selects a member preferential flight and multiple passengers in one ticket purchase (corresponding to creating a ticket purchase order), the passenger information of at least one unregistered passenger can be associated with the airline registration identifier of the airline corresponding to the leg for transmission. For example, for passengers A1, A2, and A3 on member preferential flight A, if the business travel management platform can obtain the information on whether A1, A2, and A3 are registered members, if A1 and A2 are not registered and A3 is registered, then the airline registration identifier can be associated with A1 and A2.

[0064] Optionally, the product rule can be that if there is one member among the passengers in a ticket purchase order, the entire ticket purchase order can enjoy the member discount. Correspondingly, that is, only one of A1, A2, and A3 needs to be a member. If none of A1, A2, and A3 is a member, then only one associated airline registration identifier (which can be determined by the user's selection on the ticket reservation interface) can be registered, or multiple or even all of the associated airline registration identifiers can be registered.

[0065] In an example, for the case where the user selects multiple member discount flights in a single ticket purchase, and the multiple member discount flights correspond to multiple flight segments, each flight segment and the relevant user can be associated with the airline registration identifier of their respective corresponding airline for transmission. For example, in a ticket purchase order, there is a member discount flight B1 of airline B and a member discount flight C1 of airline C. If the passenger D1 of B1 is not registered and the passenger D2 of C1 is not registered, then D1 is respectively associated with the airline registration identifier 1 indicating registration of a member of B, and D2 is associated with the airline registration identifier 2 indicating registration of a member of C.

[0066] In an example, based on different product rule requirements, for some member discount flights, the passenger needs to be the object of the ticket purchase, and for some member discount flights, the contact person needs to be the object of the ticket purchase. Then, in a user's single ticket purchase, there may be both a contact person and a passenger. For example, the round-trip member discount flights respectively need to be purchased with the passenger and the contact person as the object. In this case, both the passenger and the contact person need to register as members of the corresponding airline for the corresponding flight segment to enjoy the discount. Therefore, the input information transmitted by the business travel management platform to the service system may include the passenger and the contact person, and both need to register as members. For this situation, in addition to providing a passenger node, the create order interface of the service system also provides a contact person node. The business travel management platform transmits the passenger information and its associated airline registration identifier to the passenger node of the service system, and the contact person information to the contact person node of the service system to register members for the passenger and the contact person respectively.

[0067] Step S205: The service system receives the input information and the airline registration identifier from the business travel management platform.

[0068] Step S206: The service system transmits the input information and the airline registration identifier to the airline corresponding to the selected flight to create a ticket purchase order; and, the user information and the airline registration identifier corresponding to the member discount flight are used as the basis for the airline to register a member.

[0069] In some embodiments, the user information may include passenger information, or include passenger information and contact information. Optionally, the passenger information includes at least one of the following: passenger name, document type, passenger document number, and contact phone number (such as a mobile phone number), which is used as the basis for registration, and the associated airline registration identifier is used to trigger the membership registration of the corresponding passenger. Optionally, the contact information includes the contact's document number, which is used to trigger the membership registration of the corresponding contact.

[0070] In some embodiments, the system of the airline provides an interface with value passing rules to receive input information and the airline registration identifier for identification, create a ticket purchase order and return it to the service system, and register a member for the passenger.

[0071] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the value passing rules of the interfaces provided by the business travel management platform, the service system, and the airline's system for receiving input information and the airline registration identifier may be different, which may result in different presentation forms of the airline registration identifier and input information passed through different interfaces, but their meanings and functions may be the same.

[0072] After step S206, the service system transfers the ticket purchase order to the user terminal through the business travel management platform to initiate the payment process. The user confirms the ticket purchase order and can purchase tickets at the member preferential price; then the service system obtains the ticket from the airline and returns it.

[0073] In some embodiments, the user belongs to an organization, which may be an enterprise or institution. Usually, enterprises and institutions have an internal payment approval process and will only make payments after the approval. Therefore, when the business travel management platform learns the information that the user initiates the payment process, it can first request to obtain the confirmation of the ticket purchase order payment process from the user's organization, and then perform the deduction operation corresponding to the payment in response to the confirmation.

[0074] Illustrate the way of the confirmation. For example, the user can transfer the approval number of the approved internal payment process to the business travel management platform to indicate the confirmation of the payment amount, thereby triggering the business travel management platform to purchase tickets from the airline through the service system. Or, in some examples, the business travel management platform can also directly dock with the OA system of the user's organization to directly obtain the information of the confirmed payment.

[0075] Thus, in a business such as air ticket reservation between an organization and a business travel management platform, the confirmation of the organization's payment for the ticket purchase order can be obtained, making the entire process more reliably meet the operational needs of the organization, thereby enhancing the service experience.

[0076] In some embodiments, if the airline membership registration fails, the service system can return an error code to the business travel management platform to intercept the user from placing another order.

[0077] In some embodiments, the business travel management platform may include multiple functional parts, such as a service engine, a front-end part, an order placement part, and other functional parts.

[0078] Exemplarily, the front-end part interacts with the user terminal for selecting the at least one flight and inputting information. For example, the user terminal displays a ticket reservation interface to the user for operation or input.

[0079] The service engine receives the at least one flight selected by the user, generates an airline registration identifier based on the member preferential flight among them, and returns it to the front-end part. In a specific implementation example, the service engine is used to integrate various resources and provide them to other parts. For example, the flight number and product rules are obtained according to the selected flight obtained from the front-end part. Whether it is a member preferential flight can be determined according to the content of the product rules, and the airline registration identifier is generated accordingly, and returned to the front-end part for passing to the order placement part, service system, etc. at the back-end.

[0080] The order placement part transfers the input information to the service system in a preset manner associated with the airline registration identifier in terms of flight itinerary and user dimension to create a ticket purchase order.

[0081] For further illustration of the above principle, reference can be made to Figure 3 As shown, a schematic diagram of the member registration process in an application example of the present application is presented. Since only the part of member registration is shown, the information transferred for creating a ticket purchase order is simplified in the figure, and only the passenger information for passenger registration is shown.

[0082] The process includes:

[0083] Step S301: The service engine generates an airline registration identifier based on the member preferential flight queried by the user and returns it to the front-end part.

[0084] In some embodiments, the service engine may also give the flight number of the flight to the front-end part.

[0085] Step S302: After the user inputs information at the front-end and selects to create an order, step S303 can be triggered;

[0086] Step S303: The front-end transfers the flight number, passenger information, and airline registration identifier to the order placement part.

[0087] In some embodiments, the passenger information includes name, document type, document number, and contact phone number. Exemplarily, the order placement part provides an interface, and the interface provides a passenger node to pass in the passenger information and the airline registration identifier.

[0088] Step S304: The order placement part transmits passenger information and the associated airline registration identifier to the service system according to the voyage and passenger dimensions.

[0089] In some embodiments, the passenger information and membership products are passed into the passenger node provided by the create order interface of the service system, and the airline registration identifier is used to indicate registration.

[0090] Step S305: The service system calls the membership registration interface of the airline's system to register a member.

[0091] In some embodiments, the passenger information and the airline registration identifier can be transmitted according to the value passing rules of the membership registration interface of the airline's system.

[0092] It should be noted that since the value passing rules of the respective interfaces of the service engine, the front-end part, the order placement part, the service system, and the airline system may be different, the airline registration identifier may also cooperate with other identifiers when being transmitted through different interfaces. Additionally, the airline registration identifier can be multiple pieces of content. For example, it can respectively indicate that the users corresponding to the voyages register as members, and is used to determine whether the flights corresponding to the voyages are member preferential flights.

[0093] For example, the service engine generates and transmits the airline registration identifier ActionType = AirlineRegister to the interface of the front-end, which is used to indicate that a passenger needs to be registered and can be passed by the front-end part to the order placement part; the front-end transmits the front-end identifier AirlineRegisterFlag = True to the interface of the order placement part to indicate to the order placement part that the passenger needs membership registration, so as to trigger the order placement part to transmit the airline registration identifier ActionType = AirlineRegister to the passenger node to indicate the passengers to be registered, and in the first extended node Key, Key = AirlineRegister is passed in to indicate the execution of the membership registration action, and in the second extended node Value, the passenger identifiers of each passenger to be registered are passed in, such as PassengerId. If there are multiple passengers, each PassengerId can be separated by a symbol (such as a comma).

[0094] Step S306: The service system determines whether the membership registration is successful; if so, it proceeds to Step S307; if not, it proceeds to Step S308;

[0095] Step S307: The service system notifies the user through the order placement part and the front-end that the order creation is successful.

[0096] Step S308: Return an error code to the order placement part;

[0097] Step S309: The order placement part notifies the user through the front-end to prevent the order placement.

[0098] Exemplarily, the following gives the fields related to member registration of the service engine, the front-end part, the order placement part, and the service system in some instances.

[0099] Table 1 below gives the fields related to member registration in the order extension table. The order extension table extends the fields of passenger_id, flight_no, and takeoff_time for associating with the passenger information to be registered. bigint represents the auto-increment field type, varchar represents the variable-length string, and datetime represents the date and time information type.

[0100]

[0101] Table 2 below gives the fields related to member registration in the passenger information table.

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] Table 3 below gives the fields related to member registration in the interface parameters of the order placement part in the business travel management platform. The passenger information and the passenger node of the front-end identifier passed into the interface of the order placement part can be understood in combination with the interfaces in the previous embodiments.

[0105]

[0106]

[0107] Table 4 below gives the fields related to member registration in the interface parameters for creating an order in the service system. The passenger information, the airline registration identifier, and the passenger node of the front-end identifier passed into the interface of the order placement part can be understood in combination with the interfaces in the previous embodiments.

[0108] Parameter Whether Mandatory Description PassengerName Yes Passenger Name PersonName Yes Passenger Type Yes Document Type Number Yes Document Number Mobile Yes Contact Number ActionType Yes Airline Registration ID Key Yes Extended Information Value Yes Extended Information

[0109] Each of the above field tables indicates that each piece of information contains the values of the respective fields recorded therein.

[0110] It can be understood that, referring to the associations between the tables formed by the associations between the fields in Tables 1 to 4 above, the airline registration identifier and the input information are passed through the interface value passing method, and the standardized interface value passing can determine the flight segments corresponding to the member preferential flights and the passengers who need to register as members. Specifically, the passengers who need to register as members and the flight segments enjoying the preferential treatment can be determined according to the airline registration identifier in the itinerary dimension, and the airline can be determined according to the flight number, realizing the standardization of the registration process and ensuring the universality of the process.
