Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air ticket change search or other related fields, and in particular to an air ticket change search method for specifying brand information, a device thereof, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] The domestic change search system is an automated search system for providing services such as rescheduling and upgrading in the after-sales process of domestic flight tickets. Passengers can obtain rich price, flight and other information that meets the needs of passengers by specifying the itinerary, date, service level and other personalized search conditions to be changed. The combination of "price, flight and other information" obtained based on the services such as rescheduling and upgrading mentioned above is called a changeable strategy. In the field of civil aviation, the concept of "brand" is used to combine the price of air tickets with various additional services of civil aviation to form aviation products with differentiated levels. Among them, additional services mainly include: 1) ticket rights such as rescheduling, refunding, and upgrading; 2) additional service products such as seat selection, luggage, and meals. Different brands correspond to different ticket prices and additional services, and passengers' search demand for brand-related aviation products (hereinafter referred to as "brand products") is increasing. In particular, when passengers are performing rescheduling or upgrading operations, they may already have the brand products they expect in their minds, and then they will want to search for specific changeable strategies by specifying brand information.

[0003] In the related art, the domestic change search strategy is mainly applicable to the change search process of international routes and inter-institution ticket scenarios, the change search request of international routes and multiple exchange scenarios, and the device for international air ticket change search by date range. There is a lack of change search strategies suitable for returning brand products in a targeted manner by specifying brand information. The change search strategy in the prior art is usually related to the combination mode of brand products, the storage of brand data, and the diversified display of brand products. The existing strategy can only return multiple brand product combinations based on the brand combination mode specified by the passenger, so that the passenger can make a selection from these brand product combinations. The existing strategy cannot meet the change search needs of passengers who want to obtain the desired brand products in a targeted manner by specifying brand information.

[0052] Embodiment 1

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for searching for ticket changes with specified brand information is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0054] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an optional method for searching for ticket changes of designated brand information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0055] Step S101, respond to the change search request, query the change rules corresponding to the previous ticket, wherein the change search request at least includes: specified itinerary information, specified brand information, the specified itinerary information at least includes the origin, destination, and departure time information that the target passenger wants to change, and the specified brand information at least includes the carrier airline that the target passenger wants to change.

[0056] Step S102, based on the change rule, obtain flight restriction information, fare restriction information and price difference calculation information.

[0057] Step S103, when the change rule determines that the change search request meets the change condition, new itinerary flight information is obtained based on the specified itinerary information and flight restriction information.

[0058] Step S104, obtaining a brand data table, querying the brand data table based on the fare restriction information, the designated brand information, and the new itinerary flight information, and obtaining the new itinerary fare.

[0059] Step S105, based on the price difference calculation information, calculate the price difference of all new itinerary fares relative to the price of the previous ticket.

[0060] Step S106, generating a change search result message based on the brand data table, the new itinerary flight information and the corresponding change price difference, wherein the change search result message at least includes: the airline to which the brand belongs, the brand name, the brand number, the brand description information and the brand additional services.

[0061] The steps provided by the ticket change search method for specifying brand information can query the change rules corresponding to the previous ticket by responding to the change search request, and then obtain flight restriction information, fare restriction information and price difference calculation information based on the change rules. When the change rule determines that the change search request meets the change conditions, the new itinerary flight information is obtained based on the flight restriction information and the specified itinerary information in the request, and then the new itinerary fare is obtained by obtaining the brand data table, querying the brand data table based on the fare restriction information, the new itinerary flight information, and the specified brand information in the request, and then calculating the change price difference of all new itinerary fares relative to the fare price of the previous ticket based on the price difference calculation information. Finally, based on the brand data table, the new itinerary flight information and its corresponding change price difference, a change search result message is generated. The change search result message includes at least the airline to which the brand belongs, the brand name, the brand number, the brand description information and the brand additional services. By outputting the brand products corresponding to the brand expected by the target passenger, the passenger's ticket purchasing experience is significantly improved, thereby solving the technical problem in the related technology that the passenger cannot obtain the expected brand products in a targeted manner by specifying the brand information.

[0062] The embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below in combination with the above steps.

[0063] Step S101, respond to the change search request and query the change rules corresponding to the previous ticket.

[0064] Among them, the change search request at least includes: specified itinerary information, specified brand information, the specified itinerary information at least includes the origin, destination, and departure time information that the target passenger wants to change, and the specified brand information at least includes the carrier airline that the target passenger wants to change.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the target passenger issues a change search request, the present embodiment first queries the change rules corresponding to the target passenger's previous ticket by responding to the change search request, and then determines whether the request initiated by the target passenger can meet the change conditions based on the change rules, that is, whether the target passenger's previous ticket can be changed to a new ticket. The change search request initiated by the target passenger includes designated itinerary information and designated brand information. The designated itinerary information reflects the origin, destination, and departure time information that the target passenger wants to change, and the designated brand information reflects the carrier airline that the target passenger wants to change. The designated itinerary information and the designated brand information are the basic information for the change search operation performed by the embodiment of the present invention. The purpose of the embodiment of the present invention is to obtain brand products that meet the needs of the target passenger based on the designated brand information of the target passenger.

[0066] Optionally, the step of querying the change rules corresponding to the previous ticket includes: obtaining the previous ticket information in the change search request; obtaining the fare rule number based on the previous ticket information; obtaining the rule master table based on the fare rule number; and querying the change rules corresponding to the previous ticket from the rule master table.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to obtain the change rule corresponding to the previous ticket of the target passenger, it is first necessary to obtain the previous ticket information contained in the change search request initiated by the target passenger. The embodiment of the present invention defines the change search request as Request, and defines the previous ticket information as Original Request, wherein the previous ticket information is stored in the change search request in the form of a unit, and the embodiment of the present invention defines a storage unit as rmkot. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an optional position of the previous ticket information in the change search request according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As can be seen in the figure, the change search request (Request) contains the previous ticket information (Original Request), and the previous ticket information (Original Request) contains one or more storage units (rmkot).

[0068] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the format of an optional last ticket information storage unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, that is, a schematic diagram of the format of a storage unit (rmkot). Figure 3 As can be seen in Figure 1, a storage unit contains various information about the previous ticket. Figure 3 In the table shown, the first row is an actual case of a storage unit, and the second and third rows are explanations of each block number in the actual case. For example, the number "1683858N" represents the freight rate rule number, and the number "CA" represents the carrier.

[0069] After obtaining the previous ticket information, the fare rule number is taken out from the designated storage unit. The embodiment of the present invention defines the fare rule number as RULE_ID_NO. Then, the corresponding rule master table is obtained from the domestic change search system database according to the fare rule number. The change rule corresponding to the previous ticket is queried from the rule master table. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention defines the rule master table as a RULE table.

[0070] Optionally, after querying the change rules corresponding to the previous ticket, the step of determining whether the change search request meets the change conditions includes: obtaining the change rule main table associated with the rule main table; obtaining the change restriction field in the change rule main table, and when the change restriction field indicates that changes are allowed, obtaining the change rule sub-table associated with the change rule main table; obtaining the restriction conditions in the change rule sub-table, and when the previous ticket information meets the restriction conditions, obtaining the change qualitative field in the change rule sub-table, wherein the change qualitative field is used to describe whether changes are allowed to the previous ticket under the restriction conditions; when the change qualitative field indicates that changes are allowed, determining that the change search request meets the change conditions.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, after receiving a change search request initiated by a target passenger, it is necessary to determine whether the request satisfies the change conditions. Only when the change conditions are met will the embodiment of the present invention return relevant results. Otherwise, an abnormal result that does not allow the change will be returned.

[0072] When judging whether the change search request meets the change conditions, three tables need to be obtained, namely the rule main table, the change rule main table and the change rule sub-table. The rule main table obtains the fare rule number from the storage unit of the previous ticket information and associates it with the database through the fare rule number, thereby obtaining the corresponding rule main table. After obtaining the rule main table, the change rule sub-table is found through the REISSUE_ID field in the rule main table. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention defines the change rule main table as the RULE_REISSUE table and the change rule sub-table as the RULE_REISSUE_DETAIL table. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of an optional rule data table association relationship according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 The first three tables are the rule main table (RULE), the change rule main table (RULE_REISSUE) and the change rule sub-table (RULE_REISSUE_DETAI L). The rule main table contains the REISSUE_ID field, which is associated with the change rule main table through the REISSUE_ID field. The change rule main table contains the REISSUE_ID field, which is associated with the change rule sub-table through the REISSUE_ID field. The rule main table, the change rule main table and the change rule sub-table will be described in detail below.

[0073] The following Table 1 is the main field information of the change rule main table, including the main fields REISSUE_ID field, RULE_TYPE field, LOCATION_CODE field, CHANGE_TAG field, VOLUNTARY_CHANGED_TEXT field and INVOLUNTARY_CHANGED_TEXT field, among which the REISSUE_ID field is mapped to the REISSUE_ID field of the rule main table and the change rule sub-table, and the CHANGE_TAG field is used to describe whether the change search request is allowed to change.

[0074] Table 1 Main field information of change rule master table

[0075]

[0076] The change rule subtable mainly contains three types of field information. The first type is the restriction condition field, the second type is the change qualitative field, and the third type is the price difference calculation field.

[0077] Among them, the first type - restriction field contains five fields, namely:

[0078] 1) Primary key and foreign key: including REISSUE_ID field and REISSUE_RESTRICTION_ID field. REISSUE_ID field is mapped to REISSUE_ID field in the change rule master table. Figure 4 The fourth table is the ID field mapping in the new freight rate calculation condition table;

[0079] 2) Passengers must meet the following information fields: including passenger type field and passenger class field;

[0080] 3) The ticket must meet the following fields: itinerary type (one-way / round trip / unlimited), time range after ticket issuance, time unit after ticket issuance, ticket issuing airlines allowed to issue tickets, and ticket usage (fully unused / partially used).

[0081] 4) The relevant fields that the flight needs to meet: booking class field, flight takeoff type restriction (before takeoff / after takeoff) field, flight takeoff time range restriction field, flight takeoff time range unit (hours / days) field;

[0082] 5) The freight rate must meet the following fields: freight rate base number field and discount range limit field.

[0083] The second type - change qualitative fields, including the REISSUE_ALLOWED_TAG field, as shown in Table 2 below:

[0084] Table 2 Change qualitative main fields

[0085] Field Name Field Description REISSUE_ALLOWED_TAG Indicates whether changes are allowed or not

[0086] The restriction condition field and the change qualitative field are mainly used to determine whether the change search request initiated by the target passenger meets the change conditions, that is, whether the relevant information in the change search request is within the scope of the restriction condition field, and whether the value of the change qualitative field indicates that the change is allowed. Among them, the change qualitative field is used to describe whether the previous ticket is allowed to be changed under the restriction conditions.

[0087] The third type - price difference calculation field, as shown in Table 3 below:

[0088] Table 3 Main fields for price difference calculation

[0089]

[0090]

[0091] The price difference calculation field is mainly used in the subsequent process to calculate the price difference between the new itinerary fare and the fare of the previous ticket.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present invention, there are three levels of judgment to determine whether the change search request satisfies the change condition. The first level of judgment is to judge according to the change restriction field in the change rule main table (CHANGE_TAG field in Table 1). When the value of this field indicates that the change search request allows the change and the number of changes does not exceed the maximum number of changes, the result of the first level of judgment is determined to be satisfied. The second level of judgment is to judge according to the restriction conditions in the change rule subtable, that is, the first type-restriction condition field. The change search request initiated by the target passenger contains a set of restriction conditions. The embodiment of the present invention compares the restriction conditions in the restriction condition change rule subtable in the request. When all the restriction condition fields in the request meet the restrictions indicated by the corresponding fields in the change rule subtable, the result of the second level of judgment is determined to be satisfied. The third level of judgment is to judge according to the change qualitative field in the change rule subtable (REISSUE_ALLOWED_TAG field in Table 2), that is, the second type-change qualitative field. When the value of this field indicates that the request allows the change, the result of the third level of judgment is determined to be satisfied. When the determination results of the above three levels are all satisfied, the change search request initiated by the target passenger can be determined to be satisfied, thereby entering the subsequent change search process.

[0093] Optionally, after querying the change rules corresponding to the previous ticket, the step of determining whether the change search request meets the change conditions also includes: when the change restriction field indicates that changes are not allowed, the previous ticket information does not meet the restriction conditions, or the change qualitative field indicates that changes are not allowed, determining that the change search request does not meet the change conditions; when the change search request does not meet the change conditions, outputting an abnormal message indicating that the change search cannot be performed.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present invention, when determining whether the change search request satisfies the change condition, there is a case where the condition is not satisfied. In the above three levels of determination, as long as the determination result of one level is that the condition is not satisfied, the change search request initiated by the target passenger will be determined as not satisfying the condition. For example, in the first-level judgment, if the value of the change restriction field in the change rule main table indicates that the change is not allowed, or the number of changes exceeds the maximum number of changes specified, then the judgment result of the first-level judgment will be judged as not meeting the condition; in the second-level judgment, when the value of any field in the restriction condition in the request is not within the constraint condition indicated by the corresponding field in the change rule subtable, the result of the second-level judgment is judged as not meeting the condition, for example, the passenger type field in the request indicates a child passenger and the passenger grade field indicates level one, but the passenger type field in the change rule subtable indicates an adult passenger and the passenger grade field indicates level three, then the passenger type field and the passenger grade field in the request are both not within the constraint condition, and the result of the second-level judgment will be judged as not meeting the condition; in the third-level judgment, if the change qualitative field in the change rule subtable indicates that the change is not allowed, then the judgment result of the third-level judgment will be judged as not meeting the condition. In the above example, as long as the judgment result of any layer of judgment is not meeting the condition, the change search request will be judged as not meeting the change condition, and at this time, the embodiment of the present invention will output an abnormal message to inform the target user that the change search cannot be performed.

[0095] Step S102, based on the change rule, obtain flight restriction information, fare restriction information and price difference calculation information.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present invention, it is necessary to obtain flight restriction information, fare restriction information and price difference calculation information based on the change rule, and the three types of information are presented in the form of fields, as shown below:

[0097] Table 4 Flight restriction information related fields

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] As can be seen from Table 4, the fields related to flight restriction information mainly include FLIGHT_DATE_TAG field, FLIGHT_DATE_NUM field, SAME_FLIGHT_TAG field, OTHER_CARRI ER_LIST field and BOOKING_CLASS_LIST field. The fields related to flight restriction information in Table 4 will be used in the subsequent steps to obtain the flight information of the new itinerary.

[0101] Table 5 Fields related to freight rate restriction information

[0102]

[0103] As can be seen from Table 5, the fields related to the fare restriction information mainly include the DATE_CAHNGE_TAG field, the PROCESS_TAG field, and the MODCLASS_NEWFARE_ALLOW_TAG field. The fields related to the fare restriction information in Table 5 will be used to obtain the new itinerary fare in subsequent steps.

[0104] Table 3 shows the fields related to price difference calculation information. The fields related to price difference calculation information are mainly used in the subsequent process to calculate the price difference of the new itinerary fare compared with the fare of the previous ticket.

[0105] Optionally, the step of obtaining flight restriction information and fare restriction information based on the change rule includes: obtaining a new fare calculation condition table associated with the change rule subtable; and obtaining the flight restriction information and fare restriction information in the new fare calculation condition table.

[0106] It should be noted that the flight restriction information and the fare restriction information, that is, the flight restriction related fields and the fare restriction information related fields, are stored in the new fare calculation condition table, and the new fare calculation condition table is obtained by associating the change rule subtable. Figure 4 In the schematic diagram of the rule data table association relationship shown, the fourth table is the new freight rate calculation condition table, which is obtained by association by changing the REISSUE_RESTRICTION_ID field in the rule subtable.

[0107] Step S103, when the change rule determines that the change search request meets the change condition, new itinerary flight information is obtained based on the specified itinerary information and flight restriction information.

[0108] As can be seen from step S101, the change search request initiated by the target user contains the specified itinerary information. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of an optional location of designated itinerary information in a change search request according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5In the example, NewRequest represents new trip information, and NewRequest includes the first information (corresponding to Figure 5 The first information mainly includes the designated itinerary information, which at least includes the departure place to be changed by the target passenger (corresponding to Figure 5 or i in), destination (corresponding to Figure 5 des) and departure time information, where the departure time information includes the departure date (corresponding to Figure 5 departureDate) and departure time (corresponding to Figure 5 In the departureTate in step S102, when the change rule determines that the change search request satisfies the change condition, the embodiment of the present invention obtains the new itinerary flight information based on the specified itinerary information and the flight restriction information obtained in step S102.

[0109] It should be noted that after obtaining the flight information of the new itinerary, it is also necessary to query the available seats corresponding to the new itinerary flight. The unavailable seats in the new itinerary flight will not be pushed to the target passengers. Only the available seats will be pushed to the target passengers for selection.

[0110] Step S104, obtaining a brand data table, querying the brand data table based on the fare restriction information, the designated brand information, and the new itinerary flight information, and obtaining the new itinerary fare.

[0111] As can be seen from step S101, the change search request initiated by the target user contains the specified brand information. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of an optional location of designated brand information in a change search request according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 In the new itinerary information (NewRequest), the second information (corresponding to Figure 6 Opt ion in the request), the second information mainly includes the designated brand information, and the designated brand information at least includes the carrier airline that the target passenger wants to change, and the carrier airline is represented as the fareFamilyNames field in the change search request. In addition to the designated brand information, the second information also includes the field isFareFamily, which is used to mark whether the request enables the designated brand change search mode. When the field indicates "yes", the change search request initiated by the target passenger will follow the logic of the designated brand change search mode. When the field indicates "no", the change search request initiated by the target passenger will follow the logic of the ordinary change search mode. After obtaining the brand data table, the embodiment of the present invention obtains the new itinerary fare by querying the brand data table based on the designated brand information, the fare restriction information obtained in step S102, and the new itinerary flight information obtained in step S103.

[0112] It should be noted that the brand data table is obtained from the domestic change search database. The main fields of the brand data table are shown in the following table:

[0113] Table 6 Main fields of brand data table

[0114]

[0115] Table 6 shows the main fields of the brand data table. The embodiment of the present invention queries the brand data table based on the fare restriction information, the designated brand information, and the new itinerary flight information to obtain the new itinerary fare.

[0116] Step S105, based on the price difference calculation information, calculate the price difference of all new itinerary fares relative to the price of the previous ticket.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present invention, based on the price difference calculation information obtained in step S102, the price difference of all new itinerary fares relative to the fare of the previous ticket is calculated according to the price difference calculation logic specified by the price difference calculation information.

[0118] Optionally, when calculating the change difference of all new itinerary fares relative to the fare price of the previous ticket, the step of calculating the change fee includes: obtaining the calculation mode field, amount type fixed value field, discount percentage field, rounding principle field and minimum charge amount field in the change rule subtable; when the calculation mode field indicates the amount type, using the value of the amount type fixed value field as the change fee; when the calculation mode field indicates the discount type, based on the discount percentage field, the rounding principle field and the minimum charge amount field, obtain the discount fee, and use the discount fee as the change fee.

[0119] When calculating the change difference of all new itinerary fares relative to the fare price of the previous ticket, the change fee needs to be calculated first. There are two calculation strategies for the change fee, one is the amount calculation strategy and the other is the discount calculation strategy. By obtaining the calculation mode field in the change rule subtable, the calculation mode field indicates which calculation strategy is adopted by the embodiment of the present invention to calculate the change fee.

[0120] When the calculation mode field indicates the amount calculation strategy, the change fee is the value of the amount fixed value field in the change rule subtable; when the calculation mode field indicates the discount calculation strategy, the change fee is calculated by obtaining the discount percentage field, rounding principle field, and minimum charge amount field in the change rule subtable. The main steps of this calculation strategy are:

[0121] 1) Calculate the discount price: discount price (price) = new itinerary fare × discount percentage (DISCOUNT_PERCENT field value).

[0122] 2) The discount price (price) is rounded according to the method specified by the rounding principle field (ROUND_TYPE field), that is:

[0123] If the ROUND_TYPE field value = the first value, the discount price is rounded up;

[0124] If the ROUND_TYPE field value = the second value, the discount price is rounded up according to the decimal point;

[0125] If the ROUND_TYPE field value = the third value, the discount price is rounded down to the nearest decimal place.

[0126] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first value is 0, the second value is 1, and the third value is 2.

[0127] 3) Compare the rounded discounted price with the value of the minimum charge amount field (CHARGE_MIN_AMOUNT field), and use the larger value as the final change fee.

[0128] Optionally, the step of calculating the change difference of all new itinerary fares relative to the fare price of the previous ticket includes: obtaining the fare price of the previous ticket from the previous ticket information; subtracting the fare price of the previous ticket from the new itinerary fare to obtain the fare difference; obtaining the fee collection rule field in the change rule subtable; when the field value corresponding to the fee collection rule field is the first value, comparing the fare difference and the change fee value, and taking the larger value as the change difference; when the field value corresponding to the fee collection rule field is the second value, taking the fare difference value as the change difference, wherein the second value is different from the first value; when the value of the fee collection rule field is other values ​​except the first value and the second value, taking the sum of the fare difference and the change fee value as the change difference.

[0129] After calculating the change fee, the embodiment of the present invention calculates the change difference between the new itinerary fare and the fare of the previous ticket. First, the fare of the previous ticket is obtained from the information of the previous ticket, and the fare of the previous ticket is subtracted from the new itinerary fare to obtain the fare difference. Then, the change difference is calculated according to the logic specified by the fee collection rule field (REISSUE_CHARGE_TAG field) in the change rule subtable. The main steps are:

[0130] If the value of the REISSUE_CHARGE_TAG field = the first value, compare the freight rate difference and the change fee, and use the larger value as the change fee.

[0131] If the value of the REISSUE_CHARGE_TAG field = the second value, the value of the freight rate difference is used as the change difference;

[0132] If the value of the REISSUE_CHARGE_TAG field ≠ the first value and the second value, the change difference = freight difference + change handling fee.

[0133] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first value is 0 and the second value is 1.

[0134] Step S106, generating a change search result message based on the brand data table, the new itinerary flight information and the corresponding change price difference, wherein the change search result message at least includes: the airline to which the brand belongs, the brand name, the brand number, the brand description information and the brand additional services.

[0135] In the embodiment of the present invention, all the new itinerary flight information that meets the change conditions and the corresponding change price difference are finally combined, and the corresponding brand information is integrated based on the brand data table to generate a change search result message and send it to the target passenger. The change search result message includes the airline to which the brand belongs, the brand name, the brand number, the brand description information and the brand additional services, which are the relevant information of the brand specified by the target passenger.

[0136] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of an optional ticket change search method for specifying brand information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 In the embodiment of the present invention, by responding to the change search request initiated by the target passenger, the overall logic is started. First, by querying the change rules corresponding to the previous ticket, it is determined whether the request meets the change conditions. If the request does not meet the change conditions, an abnormal message is directly returned to prompt the target passenger that the request cannot be automatically searched for changes; if the request meets the change conditions, the new itinerary flight information is obtained according to the flight restriction information associated with the change rules and the specified itinerary information contained in the request, and then the new itinerary fare is queried according to the fare restriction information associated with the change rules, the new itinerary flight information and the specified brand information contained in the request, and then the final change price difference is calculated according to the price difference calculation information associated with the rule, and finally based on the brand data table, the new itinerary flight information and its corresponding change price difference, the change search result message is output, and the change search result message at least includes the brand's airline, brand name, brand number, brand description information and brand additional services. The embodiment of the present invention significantly improves the passenger's ticket purchasing experience by outputting brand products corresponding to the target passenger's desired brand, so that the passenger can obtain the desired brand product in a targeted manner by specifying the brand information.
