[0032] This embodiment provides an automatic check-in method running on the above-mentioned computer terminal. Figure 2 is a flow chart of an automatic check-in method according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S21, in response to the initialization completion signal of the target flight, obtaining the seat preference information of the target passenger taking the target flight;

[0034] Specifically, the completion of flight initialization indicates that flight data flows from the reservation system to the departure system, including the data transmission of flight number, date, time, passenger list, and baggage information. At the same time, the flight status is updated synchronously, resources are allocated, and preparations are made for check-in. When the target flight completes initialization in the departure system, the reservation system is marked as available for subsequent operations, and seat resources can be allocated to passengers according to the target passengers' seat preferences.

[0035] In step S21, the system triggers the automatic check-in module to start working according to the flight initialization completion signal, and extracts the seat preference information of the target passenger.

[0036] Step S22, determining the flight seat of the target passenger based on the seat preference information;

[0037] Specifically, based on the extracted seat preference information of the target passenger and the available seats on the current flight, the passenger is assigned a seat that best suits his or her preference.

[0038] Step S23, based on the flight seat and the flight information of the target flight, the boarding information of the target passenger is generated, and the boarding information at least includes the seat information, the boarding gate, and the boarding time.

[0039] Specifically, the seat layout and optional seat information of the target flight are obtained from the departure system, combined with the basic flight information, and integrated together. At the same time, the system matches the target passenger's booking record with the flight seat information, determines the target passenger's seat allocation based on the seat preference information or the passenger's choice in the seat reservation module, and determines the target passenger's specific seat number based on the seat allocation result. The above information is integrated together to generate a complete boarding information notification, and the boarding information is sent to the target passenger by email, mobile phone text message or APP notification.

[0040] It should be noted that if the flight information and passenger seat information change, the system will update the boarding information in a timely manner and notify the target passengers again to ensure that the passengers are aware of the latest boarding arrangements.

[0041] In step S23, the system can not only provide accurate boarding information, but also ensure the timeliness and effectiveness of the information, which greatly improves the convenience and satisfaction of passengers, while also optimizing the operational efficiency of airlines and reducing the time and manpower costs of on-site boarding procedures.

[0042] Through the above steps, in response to the initialization completion signal of the target flight, the seat preference information of the target passenger on the target flight is obtained; based on the seat preference information, the flight seat of the target passenger is determined; based on the flight seat and the flight information of the target flight, the boarding information of the target passenger is generated, and the boarding information includes at least the seat information, boarding gate, and boarding time. By automatically responding to the initialization completion signal of the target flight, the check-in procedures can be carried out for the passengers without the passengers themselves paying attention to the real-time information of the target flight, effectively reducing the waiting time of passengers at the airport, and avoiding the passengers from being unable to choose suitable seats due to delayed check-in, thereby improving the travel experience of passengers, saving a lot of human resources for airlines, and improving check-in efficiency.

[0043] Optionally, in step S22, obtaining the seat preference information of the target passenger includes:

[0044] Step S221, obtaining the historical seat data of the target passenger, where the historical seat data refers to the seat data of the target passenger in historical flights;

[0045] Specifically, after the passenger selects and determines the target flight, he / she provides personal information to the system. The system can then access a database related to the passenger's travel records based on the personal information provided by the passenger. The database includes the airline's customer relationship management system, reservation system, departure system, etc., to obtain the target passenger's seat data records in historical flights; from the passenger's past flight records, the system can extract the seat information selected by the passenger each time he / she travels, including seat type, location, and whether an additional paid seat is selected.

[0046] Step S222: Analyze the seat preference of the target passenger based on the historical seat data and generate seat preference information.

[0047] Specifically, the passenger's historical seat data will be extracted and analyzed to establish a passenger seat preference model, which can identify the passenger's seat selection habits and preferences. When making a reservation and checking in, the system will use the established seat preference model to automatically analyze the seat layout and availability of the current flight and recommend the passenger the seat that best matches his or her historical preferences.

[0048] In this embodiment, the seat preference model can assign preference weights to different seat types and locations. For example, if a passenger selected a window seat in 80% of historical flights, the system will give a higher weight to the window seat to reflect the passenger's preference.

[0049] Optionally, in step S22, obtaining the seat preference information of the target passenger further includes:

[0050] Step S223, obtaining preset preference information of the target passenger, where the preset preference information is the preference information preset by the target passenger before the target flight is initialized;

[0051] Specifically, when purchasing air tickets or making reservations on airline websites or mobile applications, passengers can choose to preset preference information, which includes selecting seat preferences, whether they are willing to pay extra to select seat preferences, and other requirements.

[0052] In step S223, in addition to the preset preference information actively submitted by the passenger, selected or selected on the website or mobile application, the system can also automatically identify the passenger's seat preference by analyzing the passenger's historical travel data, that is, based on the passenger's historical booking data, obtain the passenger's preset preference information and store this information in the airline's reservation system or customer relationship management system.

[0053] Step S224: analyzing the seat preference of the target passenger based on the preset preference information, and generating seat preference information.

[0054] Specifically, the collected passengers' preset preference information is analyzed, and data mining algorithms are used to identify passengers' specific preferences for seats. A preference analysis model is established, and the preset preference information of target passengers is analyzed through the model. Each seat type and position is scored to reflect its attractiveness to the passenger. Based on the analysis results, a seat preference information report is generated.

[0055] Optionally, in step S22, determining the flight seat of the target passenger based on the seat preference information includes:

[0056] Step S225, based on the seat preference information, selecting a reserved seat for the target passenger, and generating seat reservation prompt information, where the seat reservation prompt information is used to prompt the target passenger of the reserved seat;

[0057] Specifically, the seat layout of the target flight is matched with the passenger's seat preference. First, the most suitable seat is selected according to the higher priority preference in the target passenger's preference information. If the passenger has preset multiple preferences, the system will try to book the highest priority seat for him or her in turn until the reservation is successful. After the seat reservation is successful, a seat reservation reminder message is generated and sent to the passenger via email, text message or mobile application. After sending the seat reservation reminder message, the system waits for the passenger's feedback to ensure that the information is received.

[0058] Step S226, in response to the seat confirmation signal, determining that the reserved seat is the flight seat of the target passenger, wherein the seat confirmation signal is used to indicate that the target passenger confirms the selection of the reserved seat as the flight seat.

[0059] Specifically, after sending the seat reservation prompt information, it is necessary to wait for the passenger to confirm the seat reservation prompt information. The passenger can choose to confirm the seat or reject the seat. If the passenger confirms that the reserved seat is a flight seat, the subsequent procedures will continue to be executed, and the system will lock the seat to prevent it from being changed by other operations or booked by other passengers during subsequent processing; if the passenger rejects the seat, the system will continue to select a seat for the passenger according to the seat preference information.

[0060] Optionally, in step S21, before obtaining the seat preference information of the target passenger taking the target flight, the method further includes:

[0061] Step S201, obtaining preset qualification conditions and passenger qualification information of the target flight;

[0062] Specifically, the preset eligibility conditions are the eligibility conditions set in advance for passengers, including passenger membership level, special needs, whether additional fees have been paid, etc. The passenger eligibility information of the target flight is the eligibility status and detailed attribute information of each passenger related to a specific flight. Passenger eligibility information includes the passenger's personal information, including the passenger's special needs, historical travel records, personal verification information, etc.

[0063] In step S201, setting the eligibility conditions can achieve fairness, safety and efficiency of the reservation check-in service. Specifically, the eligibility conditions may require that the passenger has successfully booked a flight ticket and the ticket is valid, that the passenger has paid the full amount, and that the flight's preset rules and flight restrictions on specific seats are accepted. Setting the passenger eligibility information can facilitate real-time updates of the flight status and seat allocation system to determine whether each passenger meets the reservation check-in eligibility conditions.

[0064] Step S202: determining at least one target passenger based on the passenger qualification information, wherein the passenger qualification information of the target passenger meets the preset qualification condition.

[0065] Specifically, the preset eligibility conditions are pre-set standards or requirements that passengers must meet. All passenger eligibility information is obtained through the reservation system, customer relationship management system, and payment system. The passenger information is compared with the preset eligibility conditions to screen out all passengers who meet the preset eligibility conditions, and the passengers are prioritized. A target passenger list is generated, and the target passengers are informed through the target passenger list that they have been confirmed as eligible passengers for the reservation check-in service (i.e., the passengers are informed that they can check in).

[0066] Optionally, in step S21, in response to the initialization completion signal of the target flight, before obtaining the seat preference information of the target passenger taking the target flight, the method further includes:

[0067] Step S203, obtaining preset flight conditions and flight information of at least one flight;

[0068] Specifically, the preset flight conditions are the standards that the airline uses to decide which flights can open the reservation check-in service, such as the flight type, time, status, passenger demand, etc. By comparing the preset flight conditions with the flight information, the airline screens out the flight information that can provide the reservation check-in service.

[0069] Step S204: determining at least one target flight based on the flight information, wherein the flight information of the target flight meets the preset flight conditions.

[0070] Specifically, all flight information is obtained through a departure flight information query, the queried flight information is filtered according to preset flight conditions, and after the flight information meets the preset flight conditions, it is determined as a target flight.

[0071] Optionally, in step S22, there are multiple pieces of seat preference information, and determining the flight seat of the target passenger based on the seat preference information includes the following steps:

[0072] Step S227, determining the priority of the plurality of seat preference information;

[0073] Specifically, when the passenger chooses the reservation check-in service after purchasing the ticket, the passenger can be guided to enter his / her seat preference information. The passenger can select multiple seat preference information. At the same time, after receiving the passenger's seat preference, the system analyzes the passenger's preference based on the passenger's historical data, membership level, payment status, etc., and prioritizes the passenger's seat preference using weight calculation.

[0074] Step S228, based on the priority, seat selection is performed in sequence according to a preset priority order;

[0075] Specifically, when the reservation check-in service is started, the passenger's seat preferences are prioritized according to the passenger's seat preference information. After combining the seat layout of the target flight, the seat availability and seat type are analyzed, the passenger's preferred seats are identified, and matching seats are found in order of priority from high to low.

[0076] Step S229, determining that the first valid seat is the flight seat of the target passenger, wherein the valid seat is the seat on the target flight that is not locked by other passengers.

[0077] Specifically, once an available seat matching the highest priority preference is found, the system will immediately lock the seat for the passenger. If no available first-priority seat is matched, the seat preference of the second priority will be selected.

[0078] In this embodiment, the reservation check-in system can ensure that the selection process is efficient and provide passengers with seats that meet their personal preferences while avoiding waste of resources and unnecessary conflicts.

[0079] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the present application also provides a preferred embodiment of an automatic check-in method and an automatic check-in system, aiming to provide airlines and passengers with a convenient and efficient check-in service experience.

[0080] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the automatic check-in system includes an automatic check-in rule control module, a departure flight information query module, a seat reservation module, an automatic check-in module, and a reservation cancellation module.

[0081] The automatic check-in rule control module is the command center of the system, giving airlines the ability to customize automatic check-in strategies. Airlines can flexibly set which routes can enable the automatic check-in function and the start time of automatic check-in based on specific operational needs, and can ensure that the check-in process is aligned with company policies by quickly configuring and adjusting the rules.

[0082] The departure flight information query module is responsible for real-time query of the departure flight status and identifying flights that meet the automatic check-in conditions by judging the flight status.

[0083] The seat reservation module is designed for passenger needs. After purchasing a ticket, if the flight supports check-in reservation, the module can guide passengers to make a check-in reservation and choose the check-in reservation method. Passengers have two ways to make a check-in reservation: one is for the system to automatically reserve seats based on the passenger's preferred seats selected by the passenger based on the passenger's historical travel ticket order data; the other is for passengers to select seats on their own, that is, to select one or more seats based on the flight seat map returned by the system. After selecting a seat, the passenger initiates a seat reservation request to the system.

[0084] The cancellation module takes into account the uncertainty of passengers' itineraries and provides flexible order management options. When passengers need to adjust their seats, they can submit an application to cancel their reserved seats. After verifying the user's identity and order information, the cancellation request will be processed efficiently to ensure the timely release of resources. At the same time, it also provides passengers with clear cancellation confirmation feedback to improve the transparency and satisfaction of the user experience.

[0085] Once the flight is initialized and the preset automatic check-in rules are met, the automatic check-in module automatically triggers the check-in process and intelligently checks in eligible passengers.

[0086] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the principle of the above automatic check-in system is as follows:

[0087] Step 1: The airline enters detailed rule settings in the automatic check-in rule control module according to its own operating strategy;

[0088] Step 2: The real-time status of the flight is returned through the departure flight information query module. The passenger's request will only be accepted if the flight status is displayed as uninitialized and supports reservation check-in;

[0089] Step 3: After purchasing a ticket, if passengers need to make an appointment for check-in, the system provides two convenient ways for passengers to make an appointment for check-in: one is the system intelligent service, the system will automatically select seats that meet the passenger's personal preferences based on the passenger's past booking records and automatically reserve seats for the passenger; the other is the self-selection mode, passengers can use the flight seat map to select seats according to their personal preferences, and then initiate a reservation request to the system;

[0090] Step 4: Provide a convenient cancellation channel. The user initiates a query request, and the system returns the relevant order details. Then, the user performs a cancellation operation based on the returned order ID. The system processes it immediately, releases seat resources, and returns a successful cancellation notification to the passenger.

[0091] Step 5: After the flight is initialized, the automatic check-in module automatically performs passenger check-in procedures according to the rules set in the early stage.

[0092] In one embodiment of the present application, the automatic check-in method is described through the following process:

[0093] For example: the current time is 2024.6.18 10:00:00, the flight A information is shown in Table 1, and the automatic check-in rules are shown in Table 2.

[0094] Table 1:

[0095] Airlines route Departure time CA PEK-CKG 2024.11.24 12:0000

[0096] Table 2:

[0097] Airlines Departure Station Arrival Station Automatic task start time type Minutes CA PEK CKG After flight initialization 600

[0098] The specific process of automatic check-in is as follows:

[0099] Check the real-time status of the flight. If the flight is not initialized, the reservation check-in service will be opened according to the automatic check-in rules. Under the current conditions, passengers can make seat reservations.

[0100] After purchasing a ticket, passengers choose to make an appointment for check-in. At this time, there are two options. One is that the system makes intelligent reservations and establishes a passenger seat preference algorithm model. The system analyzes the probability of passengers' habits and preferences based on a certain number of passengers' past booking records, such as front, back, window, aisle, etc., calculates the probability, and automatically selects and reserves seats for passengers according to the seat preference type with the highest probability of historical seat selection. The entire process of selecting and reserving seats is automatically completed by the system; the second is that passengers choose seats according to their personal preferences based on the flight seat map returned by the system. Multiple seats can be selected, and the order in which passengers choose seats is used as the priority. After the passenger makes his or her selection, the system will initiate seat reservation requests in order of priority, and stop the request after a seat is successfully reserved.

[0101] If passengers are not satisfied with the reserved seats, they can cancel the reservation. Passengers can check their reservation orders through the mobile terminal and click cancel to cancel the reserved seats.

[0102] According to the automatic check-in rules, 600 minutes after the flight is initialized, the departure system will automatically check in passengers with reserved seat identification and assign them the previously reserved seats.

[0103] Through the description of the above embodiments, it can be seen that the automatic check-in method of the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0104] 1) With the traditional check-in method, passengers need to pay attention to the flight status changes at any time. They can only select seats and check in through the Internet after the flight status allows check-in. Users need to pay attention to the check-in time and may not be able to select their favorite seats. This method allows passengers to select their favorite seats in advance before the flight is initialized. After the flight is available for check-in, the system will automatically help passengers check in and assign seats, greatly improving the check-in experience of passengers.

[0105] 2) The automatic seat selection function for reservation check-in relies on advanced data analysis technology to carefully analyze passengers' travel habits and preferences, so as to accurately recommend seats that are highly compatible with them and automatically initiate seat reservations, greatly shortening the reservation check-in time for passengers and making journey preparations more efficient. At the same time, passengers are given complete autonomy to make decisions - through the intuitive self-selected seat function, passengers can carefully select from the flight seat map according to their personal preferences to ensure that the seat is their favorite seat. The system also supports the selection of multiple seats at the same time, which increases the chances of passengers getting their favorite seats, making the journey full of satisfaction and expectations from the beginning.
