Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ticket intelligent management, and in particular to a ticket inventory intelligent management system. Background Art

[0002] With the vigorous development of tourism, the passenger flow of scenic spots is increasing day by day, and ticket management faces many challenges; the traditional ticket inventory management method can no longer meet the complex and changing operational needs of modern scenic spots, which is specifically reflected in the following aspects:

[0003] 1. Limitations of Static Inventory Management

[0004] Lack of dynamic adjustment capabilities: Traditional inventory management is usually based on fixed forecasts and settings, and cannot dynamically adjust ticket inventory based on real-time tourist flow, weather changes, emergencies and other factors. For example, during the peak tourist season or when special events are held, the number of tourists may far exceed expectations, and static inventory management may not be able to increase ticket supply in time, making it difficult for tourists to buy tickets, affecting tourist experience and scenic spot revenue. On the contrary, during the off-season or when encountering bad weather, ticket inventory may be piled up, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0005] Difficulty in adapting to market changes: The tourism market is affected by many factors, such as holidays, seasons, social media promotion, etc., and tourists' travel intentions and ticket purchasing behaviors are highly uncertain. Traditional static inventory management is difficult to respond quickly to these market changes and cannot adjust ticket prices and inventory allocation strategies in a timely manner, which puts scenic spots at a disadvantage in market competition.

[0006] 2. Inventory conflicts caused by multi-platform sales

[0007] Data inconsistency: Nowadays, scenic spot tickets are often sold through multiple channels, including scenic spot platforms, online travel agent (OTA) platforms, travel agency distribution systems, etc.; untimely or inaccurate data synchronization between different platforms can easily lead to inconsistent inventory data; for example, a platform shows that tickets are still available, but the actual scenic spot inventory is sold out, resulting in overselling, which brings unnecessary troubles to the scenic spot and tourists;

[0008] Lack of unified coordination mechanism: Each sales platform usually manages its own inventory independently, lacking a unified coordination and management mechanism. When the scenic spot needs to make overall adjustments to the ticket inventory, it is difficult to quickly and accurately communicate and implement it to each platform, resulting in chaotic inventory management and affecting the overall operational efficiency of the scenic spot.

[0009] 3. Insufficient support for decision making

[0010] Incomplete information acquisition: When making ticket inventory management decisions, scenic spot managers often rely on limited data and experience, and lack comprehensive acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional information inside and outside the scenic spot. For example, they only consider historical ticket purchase data, but ignore factors such as real-time tourist flow, weather conditions, and competition from surrounding scenic spots, resulting in unscientific and unreasonable decisions.

[0011] Lack of visualization tools: Traditional ticket management systems lack intuitive visualization tools, making it difficult for managers to quickly understand key information such as the inventory status and visitor distribution of scenic spots. When faced with complex data and changing situations, it is difficult to make timely and accurate decisions, which affects the operational management efficiency of scenic spots.

[0012] IV. Tourist Experience and Resource Utilization

[0013] Tourist experience is affected: Due to poor inventory management, tourists may face problems such as inconvenience in purchasing tickets, long waiting times, and crowded scenic spots, which seriously affect tourists' travel experience and reduce the reputation and attractiveness of the scenic spots;

[0014] Unreasonable resource utilization: Unreasonable ticket inventory allocation may lead to excessive concentration of tourists in certain areas of the scenic area, while resources in other areas are idle, which makes it impossible to give full play to the resource utilization efficiency of the scenic area, and also increases the management cost and safety risk of the scenic area.

It communicates closely with the dynamic inventory allocation engine, dynamically generates time-segment inventory quotas based on predicted ticket demand, establishes a real-time inventory mapping relationship table, and flexibly adjusts the inventory allocation ratio through the multi-level inventory buffer pool. At the same time, in order to ensure the security and traceability of inventory allocation operations, the encrypted inventory voucher generation unit generates encrypted vouchers for each inventory allocation operation.

[0135] 2. Detailed introduction of submodules

[0136] Multi-level inventory buffer pool:

[0137] Function: The multi-level inventory buffer pool can achieve rapid response and flexible allocation to different demand situations through hierarchical inventory management; it is divided into an immediate inventory layer, a flexible allocation layer, and an emergency reserve layer. The inventory ratio of each layer can be dynamically adjusted according to the real-time inventory consumption rate and demand forecast deviation to cope with the uncertainty of scenic spot ticket demand;

[0138] Level division and function:

[0139] Real-time inventory layer: As the most front-end inventory layer, it is mainly used to meet the short-term predictable regular ticket demand of scenic spots. The inventory at this layer is usually kept at a relatively low level, but it must ensure that it can quickly respond to instant ticket purchase requests to provide an efficient service experience. For example, during the daily operation period of the scenic spot, the real-time inventory layer can promptly meet the needs of tourists to purchase tickets on site.

[0140] Flexible allocation layer: This layer plays a role of buffering and regulation to cope with short-term fluctuations in ticket demand. When the inventory consumption rate of the immediate inventory layer accelerates, or when it is predicted that the demand will increase to a certain extent, the flexible allocation layer can quickly replenish the inventory to avoid the situation of supply exceeding demand. For example, during weekends or small holidays, the number of tourists may increase to a certain extent, and the inventory of the flexible allocation layer can be allocated in time to meet the additional demand.

[0141] Emergency reserve layer: As the last line of defense for inventory, the emergency reserve layer is used to cope with sudden, large-scale increases in ticket demand or other emergencies; for example, when a scenic spot holds a large-scale event that attracts a large number of tourists, or encounters extreme weather that causes tourists to change their itineraries and purchase tickets in batches, the inventory in the emergency reserve layer can ensure that the scenic spot can still meet tourists' ticket purchase needs and maintain the stability of scenic spot operations;

[0142] Dynamic adjustment mechanism: The inventory ratio of each level is dynamically adjusted through an improved fuzzy control algorithm (M-Fuzzy); the algorithm is based on the real-time inventory consumption rate Deviation from demand forecast Update the fuzzy rules. The specific formula is: ;

[0143] in, Indicates that the updated fuzzy rule is The input variable level and The value of the output variable level, which determines the adjustment direction and amplitude of the inventory ratio at each level; Indicates that the fuzzy rule before updating is The input variable level and The value of each output variable level; is the learning rate, which is used to control the step size of fuzzy rule update and determines the speed and amplitude of rule update; is the partial derivative, the smaller The larger the value, the smoother and more precise the adjustment process will be. A value of 0 enables the system to respond more quickly to changes in demand, but may lead to over-adjustment;

[0144] Encrypted inventory voucher generation unit:

[0145] Function: Generate encrypted credentials for each inventory allocation operation. These credentials contain key information such as timestamp, inventory level identification and digital signature, which are used to verify the authenticity, integrity and accuracy of inventory allocation across platforms, ensuring the security and reliability of the entire inventory management system in a multi-platform collaborative environment;

[0146] Generation logic:

[0147] Timestamp: records the exact time when the inventory allocation operation occurs, accurate to the second or even millisecond level. Timestamps are not only used to trace the time sequence of inventory allocation, but also serve as an important basis for judging the sequence and timeliness of data in cross-platform data synchronization and consistency verification. For example, when comparing inventory data between different platforms, timestamps can help determine which operation is the latest, thereby avoiding inventory conflicts caused by untimely data updates.

[0148] Inventory level identification: It specifies the inventory level involved in the inventory allocation operation, i.e., the immediate inventory level, the flexible allocation level, or the emergency reserve level. This helps to clearly understand the source and nature of the inventory during cross-platform verification, and also facilitates statistics and analysis of the usage of inventory at different levels. For example, scenic area management can use inventory level identification to understand the allocation frequency and usage of inventory at each level within a certain period of time, so as to better optimize the inventory structure.

[0149] Digital signature: Adopting asymmetric encryption algorithm, the private key is used to encrypt the relevant information of inventory allocation operation (such as allocation quantity, sales channels involved, etc.) to generate a digital signature; during cross-platform verification, the recipient can use the corresponding public key to decrypt and verify the digital signature to ensure that the inventory allocation operation has not been tampered with and is indeed issued by the authorized system module; digital signature technology provides a high degree of security and non-repudiation for inventory allocation operations, ensuring the stable operation of the system in a complex network environment;

[0150] Through the collaborative work of multi-level inventory buffer pools and encrypted inventory voucher generation units, the flexible inventory adjustment module can flexibly and efficiently adjust inventory allocation according to the dynamic changes in scenic spot ticket demand, and ensure the security and traceability of inventory management operations, providing strong support for the intelligent management of scenic spot tickets.

[0151] In this embodiment, the conflict detection and arbitration unit is connected with the flexible inventory adjustment module and the external cooperation platform data, detects cross-platform inventory conflicts through a distributed node consensus algorithm, and triggers the blockchain smart contract for data synchronization and arbitration;

[0152] Furthermore, the conflict detection and arbitration unit plays a vital role in the intelligent ticket inventory management system. It is responsible for maintaining the consistency of inventory data across sales channels and ensuring that the ticket sales process is fair and orderly. When cross-platform inventory conflicts occur, the unit can quickly detect them and resolve them through a reasonable arbitration mechanism.

[0153] 1. Overview of unit architecture and functions

[0154] The conflict detection and arbitration unit is mainly composed of three parts: distributed inventory status monitor, blockchain consensus network and multi-level arbitration rule library. It is closely connected with the flexible inventory adjustment module and external cooperation platform, and compares the inventory data of each sales channel in real time, synchronizes data with the help of blockchain technology, and handles inventory conflicts according to preset arbitration rules.

[0155] 2. Detailed introduction of submodules

[0156] Distributed Inventory Status Monitor:

[0157] Function: Real-time monitoring and comparison of inventory data of various sales channels, including scenic spots’ own platforms, OTA platforms, and third-party distribution systems; through continuous monitoring, timely discover differences in inventory data between different platforms, providing a basis for subsequent conflict detection;

[0158] Working principle: A distributed architecture is adopted to deploy monitoring nodes in the systems of various sales channels. These nodes regularly collect inventory data of the channels, including key information such as the current ticket inventory, the number of reservations, and the number of sales, and summarize the data to the central monitoring module. The central monitoring module uses a specific algorithm to compare and analyze the data of each channel. Once the data inconsistency is found, the conflict detection process is immediately triggered. For example, if the scenic spot’s own platform shows that the inventory of a certain type of ticket is 50, while the OTA platform shows that it is 45, the monitor will identify this difference and determine that there may be an inventory conflict.

[0159] Blockchain consensus network:

[0160] Function: It is composed of scenic area management nodes, cooperation platform nodes and regulatory agency nodes, aiming to achieve safe and reliable synchronization of data between nodes, and ensure the consistency of inventory data among all nodes through a consensus mechanism; it uses an improved asymmetric encryption algorithm (M-RSA) to ensure the security of data transmission and storage;

[0161] Node composition and function:

[0162] Scenic spot management node: As the core node, it is responsible for maintaining the overall data of the scenic spot ticket inventory and verifying and processing the data synchronization requests of other nodes. The scenic spot management party publishes the latest inventory information through this node, and supervises the data synchronization of other nodes to ensure that the entire system operates around the actual inventory situation of the scenic spot;

[0163] Cooperation platform nodes: represent various external cooperation platforms, such as OTA platforms, travel agency distribution systems, etc.; these nodes synchronize the inventory data of their own platforms to the blockchain network, and obtain the latest data of other nodes from the network to ensure the consistency of their own platform inventory information with the overall system; at the same time, the cooperation platform nodes participate in the consensus process to verify and confirm changes in inventory data;

[0164] Regulatory agency node: mainly plays the role of supervision and notarization; the regulatory agency uses this node to monitor the flow of ticket inventory data in real time to ensure that all parties comply with relevant regulations and agreements; when disputes arise, the regulatory agency node assists in data verification and the execution of arbitration decisions based on its credibility;

[0165] Data synchronization and encryption: The improved asymmetric encryption algorithm (M-RSA) is used to achieve data synchronization; the private key update formula is: ;

[0166] in, The updated private key is used to encrypt and decrypt data to ensure data security and privacy. The generation of the new private key is based on the old private key and factors related to time and inventory changes, so that the private key can be dynamically updated as the system runs and data changes, enhancing encryption security. The private key before the update, which is the basic value for the private key update; is the value of the Euler function, is the modulus in the RSA algorithm, Indicates less than And with The number of mutually prime positive integers; It is a dynamic factor based on timestamp and inventory change. Timestamp ensures the timeliness of private key update, while inventory change reflects the changes of key data in the system. The combination of these two factors enables the private key to be dynamically adjusted according to the actual operation status of the system, better adapting to the ever-changing security needs;

[0167] Multi-level arbitration rules library:

[0168] Function: Preset solutions for various inventory conflict situations, including common problems such as oversold inventory, inconsistent data, and invalid vouchers. When nodes in the blockchain consensus network fail to reach a consensus, the penalty mechanism is triggered to impose corresponding penalties on the offending nodes to maintain the normal operation of the system and data consistency.

[0169] Arbitration rules and penalty mechanism:

[0170] Inventory oversold: If the number of tickets sold by a sales channel exceeds its actual inventory, it is considered to be oversold. At this time, the arbitration rule base may require the channel to immediately stop selling the relevant tickets and take measures to compensate tourists for losses caused by overselling, such as providing coupons, upgrading ticket levels, etc. At the same time, a certain degree of economic penalties will be imposed on the channel to serve as a warning.

[0171] Data inconsistency: When there are discrepancies in inventory data between different nodes, the data verification process is initiated first; each node rechecks its own data and provides detailed data records and operation logs to other nodes; if it is confirmed that the data of a node is incorrect, the node needs to correct it according to the correct data and handle data update issues of other nodes that may be caused by data inconsistency; for nodes that have multiple data inconsistencies, the penalty will be increased, such as limiting their inventory adjustment authority within a certain period of time;

[0172] Voucher expiration: If the encrypted inventory voucher fails to pass verification, it is considered invalid. At this time, the inventory allocation operation involving the voucher will be deemed invalid, and the relevant inventory will be restored to the state before the operation. At the same time, the node that generated the invalid voucher will be investigated. If it is found that the voucher is invalid due to illegal operation of the node, the node will be severely punished, including but not limited to economic fines, suspension of cooperation and other measures;

[0173] Penalty mechanism formula: When the node consensus is not reached, the penalty mechanism is triggered: ;

[0174] Among them, Penalty Indicates The penalty value of the dissenting node; is the penalty coefficient, which is used to measure the intensity of the penalty. The larger the value, the more severe the punishment for dissenting nodes, and vice versa. The value is usually set according to the actual needs of the system and the tolerance for violations. Indicates The total number of votes a node receives reflects the degree of recognition of the behavior or data of this node by other nodes. is the total number of nodes, which is used as the calculation base to measure the proportion of affirmative votes in the entire network. According to this formula, when the proportion of affirmative votes obtained by a node to the total number of nodes is low, it means that the behavior or data of the node is inconsistent with the majority of nodes, and it will be subject to a corresponding heavier penalty.

[0175] Through the collaborative work of distributed inventory status monitors, blockchain consensus networks, and multi-level arbitration rule bases, the conflict detection and arbitration unit can effectively detect and resolve cross-platform inventory conflicts and maintain the stable operation of the ticket intelligent management system and data consistency.

[0176] In this embodiment, the adaptive learning module is connected with the dynamic inventory allocation engine, the flexible inventory adjustment module and the conflict detection and arbitration unit, and the inventory allocation strategy is continuously optimized through online incremental learning. The adaptive learning module includes a feedback evaluation index system and a policy iteration algorithm driven by deep reinforcement learning;

[0177] Furthermore, the adaptive learning module is a key component of the ticket inventory intelligent management system. Through continuous learning and optimization, it enables the system to automatically adjust the inventory allocation strategy according to the changing internal and external environment to achieve more efficient ticket management and better operational results;

[0178] 1. Module architecture and function overview

[0179] The adaptive learning module is mainly composed of three parts: the strategy effect evaluation matrix, the improved deep reinforcement learning model (M-DRL) and the anomaly detection unit. It is closely connected with the dynamic inventory allocation engine, the elastic inventory adjustment module and the conflict detection and arbitration unit, collects the real-time feedback data generated by each module, and continuously optimizes the inventory allocation strategy through online incremental learning.

[0180] 2. Detailed introduction of submodules

[0181] Strategy effectiveness evaluation matrix:

[0182] Function: The strategy effect evaluation matrix is ​​used to comprehensively and systematically evaluate the implementation effect of the current inventory allocation strategy; it contains multiple key indicators, reflecting the pros and cons of the strategy from different dimensions, and providing a clear direction and basis for subsequent strategy optimization;

[0183] Indicator composition:

[0184] Inventory turnover rate: This indicator measures the turnover speed of ticket inventory, which is determined by calculating the ratio of the number of tickets sold in a certain period to the average inventory number; a higher inventory turnover rate means that tickets can be circulated quickly, reducing inventory backlogs and improving the efficiency of capital use; for example, if a scenic spot has an average inventory of 1,000 tickets in a month and sells a total of 5,000 tickets, the inventory turnover rate for that month is 5 times (5,000 ÷ 1,000);

[0185] Tourist satisfaction: By collecting tourists' feedback, such as online comments and questionnaires, we can obtain tourists' satisfaction scores on ticket purchase experience, scenic spot tour arrangements, etc. Improving tourist satisfaction will help improve the reputation and brand image of the scenic spot and attract more tourists;

[0186] Resource utilization rate: evaluate the matching degree between various resources (such as venues, facilities, etc.) in the scenic area and ticket sales and tourist reception; reasonable inventory allocation should ensure that resources are fully utilized and avoid idle or overused resources; for example, tickets should be reasonably allocated according to the carrying capacity and tourist flow of different areas in the scenic area so that resources in each area can be effectively utilized;

[0187] Conflict resolution success rate: Statistics on the proportion of successful conflict resolution when dealing with cross-platform inventory conflicts and other issues; a high conflict resolution success rate indicates that the system is stable and effective in dealing with complex situations and can ensure the normal order of ticket sales;

[0188] Other indicators: In addition to the above main indicators, the strategy effectiveness evaluation matrix may also include 12 indicators such as sales channel balance and revenue growth rate, which comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of inventory allocation strategies from multiple perspectives;

[0189] Improved Deep Reinforcement Learning Model (M-DRL):

[0190] Function: The M-DRL model is based on the feedback of the strategy effect evaluation matrix and explores the optimal inventory allocation strategy through continuous learning and trial and error. It uses a dual Q network and a priority experience replay mechanism to accelerate the learning process and improve the stability and accuracy of the strategy.

[0191] Learning mechanism:

[0192] Dual Q network: Traditional Q learning algorithms have the problem of overestimation when estimating Q values. Dual Q network solves this problem by introducing two Q networks (main network and target network); the main network is used to select actions, and the target network is used to calculate the target Q value; in each iteration, the main network selects actions based on the current state. Select Action , and then get rewards by interacting with the environment and the new state ; The target network is based on the new state Choose the action that maximizes the Q value , and calculate the target Q value ; The Q value update formula of the main network is: ;

[0193] in, Indicates in status Take action of Value, which is the value estimated by the current policy for this state-action pair; Indicates that the target network is in state Take action of value; Adjust the pace factor for the strategy, controlling The step size of the value update determines the speed of model learning; For the status Take action The reward value obtained after is the discount factor, which is used to measure the importance of future rewards and has a value range of between; Indicates at time Status; Indicates at time Actions taken; Indicates at time Status; Indicates in status All actions that can be taken under ; the priority of experience playback is determined by error Decide;

[0194] Prioritized experience replay mechanism: In traditional reinforcement learning, experience replay is to store the experience samples generated by the interaction between the agent and the environment in the experience replay pool, and then randomly extract samples for learning; the priority experience replay mechanism is based on the TD error Assign a priority to each experience sample. The larger the TD error, the higher the priority. When learning, give priority to replaying and learning samples with high priority. This allows the model to pay more attention to samples that have a greater impact on policy improvement and accelerates learning convergence. For example, when a certain inventory allocation decision leads to a large change in revenue (i.e., a large TD error), the experience sample corresponding to the decision will have a higher priority and is more likely to be learned by the model again to strengthen the understanding and application of the decision.

[0195] Anomaly Detection Unit:

[0196] Function: The anomaly detection unit is responsible for identifying abnormal patterns in the inventory consumption process, timely discovering potential problems that may affect the normal operation of the system, such as abnormal ticket rush, sudden changes in tourist flow, etc., and providing early warning information for strategy adjustment;

[0197] Detection method: An improved isolation forest algorithm with dynamic subspace partitioning is used. The algorithm performs dynamic subspace partitioning on inventory consumption data and projects the data into different subspaces for analysis. The formula for selecting the subspace partitioning dimension is: ;

[0198] in, represents the selected subspace partitioning dimension; Indicates The variance of a variable is used to measure the degree of dispersion of the variable data. The larger the variance, the more dispersed the data distribution on this dimension is, and the more likely it is to contain abnormal information. Indicates that in all variables , select Get the maximum dimension As the subspace division dimension; in this way, the algorithm can focus on the dimension with the largest data change and more effectively identify abnormal data points, that is, abnormal inventory consumption patterns; for example, when analyzing ticket sales data, if it is found that the variance of the number of tickets sold on a certain day in the time dimension is much larger than that in other dimensions, then the time dimension may be the key dimension containing abnormal information, and the algorithm will focus on analyzing whether there is abnormal sales behavior from the time dimension;

[0199] Through the collaborative work of the strategy effect evaluation matrix, the improved deep reinforcement learning model and the anomaly detection unit, the adaptive learning module can continuously optimize the inventory allocation strategy, improve the system's adaptability to complex and changing environments, and ensure the efficiency and stability of scenic spot ticket management.

[0200] In this embodiment, the visual decision support interface dynamically displays inventory heat maps, allocation suggestions, and risk warning information;

[0201] Furthermore, the visual decision support interface is a key part of the interaction between the ticket inventory intelligent management system and managers and relevant decision makers; it presents various important information in an intuitive and easy-to-understand way, helping decision makers to quickly understand the ticket inventory status of scenic spots, the distribution of tourist flow, etc., and assisting them in making scientific and reasonable decisions. At the same time, it has functions such as risk warning and cross-scenic area data sharing, which improves the overall operation and management level of scenic spots;

[0202] 1. Interface architecture and function overview

[0203] The visual decision support interface is mainly composed of three parts: dynamic heat map generation unit, risk warning subsystem and federated learning interface. It integrates data from other modules of the system, displays key information in a graphical and visual way, and provides interactive functions to facilitate decision makers' operation and analysis.

[0204] 2. Detailed introduction of submodules

[0205] Dynamic heat map generation unit:

[0206] Function: Based on the geographic fence data, the tourist density of each area of ​​the scenic spot is displayed in real time; through intuitive graphic display, decision makers can clearly understand the distribution of tourists in the scenic spot, find the areas where people gather and the areas where people flow sparsely, and provide important basis for the resource allocation and safety management of the scenic spot;

[0207] Implementation method: Use geographic information system (GIS) technology to digitize the scenic area map and delineate different areas in combination with geo-fence data; the system obtains the location information of tourists in real time (through technologies such as Wi-Fi positioning and Bluetooth beacons) and counts the number of tourists in each geo-fence area; according to the number of tourists, it is presented on the heat map with different colors or transparency. Generally, the darker the color or the higher the transparency, the greater the density of tourists; for example, red areas may indicate a high density of tourists, yellow areas indicate a moderate density, and green areas indicate a low density of tourists; this visualization method allows decision makers to quickly and intuitively grasp the real-time distribution dynamics of tourists in the scenic area, so as to take corresponding measures in a timely manner, such as adding security personnel or guides in areas with dense tourist populations, optimizing tour routes, etc.

[0208] Risk early warning subsystem:

[0209] Function: Real-time monitoring of ticket inventory status. When the inventory consumption rate exceeds the preset threshold, different levels of warning signals are triggered to alert decision makers of possible inventory shortage risks. At the same time, the system automatically adjusts the flexible allocation layer inventory for buffering to ease inventory pressure and ensure the normal supply of tickets.

[0210] Early warning mechanism:

[0211] Threshold setting: Based on the scenic spot's historical data, expected tourist flow, ticket sales patterns and other factors, different levels of inventory consumption rate thresholds are pre-set; for example, the mild warning threshold may be set at 120% of the normal inventory consumption rate, the moderate warning threshold at 150%, and the severe warning threshold at 200%;

[0212] Warning signal triggering: When the system detects that the inventory consumption rate reaches or exceeds a certain level of threshold, the corresponding level of warning signal is immediately triggered; the warning signal can be presented to decision makers through a variety of methods such as eye-catching color changes on the interface, flashing prompts, and sound alarms; for example, in the case of a mild warning, the inventory data area on the interface may turn yellow and flash, and a slight warning sound will be emitted; in the case of a moderate warning, it will turn orange and the prompt sound will be strengthened; in the case of a severe warning, it will turn red and a strong alarm sound will be emitted;

[0213] Inventory buffer adjustment: Once the warning signal is triggered, the system automatically starts the inventory adjustment mechanism of the flexible allocation layer; according to the warning level and the current inventory situation, the inventory is reasonably allocated from the flexible allocation layer to the instant inventory layer to meet the possible increase in ticket demand; for example, when a mild warning is triggered, a certain proportion (such as 10%) of the inventory is transferred from the flexible allocation layer to the instant inventory layer; when a moderate warning is triggered, the transfer ratio may increase to 30%; when a severe warning is triggered, the transfer ratio is increased to 50%, so as to avoid the situation where tourists are blocked from buying tickets due to inventory shortages;

[0214] Federated learning interface:

[0215] Function: It can realize privacy-protected data sharing among scenic spots. Under the premise of not leaking local sensitive data, each scenic spot can jointly train the global model through federated learning technology to improve the ticket management level of the entire industry. At the same time, the differential privacy mechanism is used to add noise in the data sharing process to further protect data privacy.

[0216] Data sharing and privacy protection mechanism:

[0217] Federated learning: Each scenic spot retains the original data locally and only uploads the model parameters or gradient information to the federated learning server; the server aggregates the information uploaded by each scenic spot, updates the global model, and sends the updated model to each scenic spot; each scenic spot uses the updated global model to predict and analyze local data, and continues to train the model with local data, and then uploads the model parameters again, and iterates in this way to continuously optimize the global model; for example, scenic spots A, B, and C train local models based on their own historical ticket purchase records, tourist flow and other data, and then upload the model's gradient information to the federated learning server. The server aggregates this gradient information to update the global model, and then sends the global model to each scenic spot. Each scenic spot uses the new global model to process local data, and further trains the model with local new data to continuously improve the accuracy and generalization ability of the model;

[0218] Differential privacy: In the process of data sharing, in order to prevent attackers from inferring sensitive information of each scenic spot by analyzing the shared data, a differential privacy mechanism is used to add noise; the specific formula is: ;

[0219] in, represents the data after adding noise; Indicates that the original data passes through the function The calculation results of is the privacy budget, which is used to control the intensity of added noise. The smaller the value, the higher the privacy protection, but the data availability may be lower; For function The global sensitivity of the function The maximum degree of response to small changes in input data; It is a parameter in the differential privacy mechanism, used to adjust the scale of the noise distribution; represents the Laplace distribution,

[0220] In this way, the local data privacy of each scenic spot is protected to the greatest extent while ensuring data availability. For example, when uploading model parameters, noise that conforms to the above formula is added to the parameter value, making it difficult for attackers to obtain real scenic spot data from the shared parameter information.

[0221] Through the collaborative work of the dynamic heat map generation unit, the risk warning subsystem and the federated learning interface, the visual decision support interface provides comprehensive, intuitive and secure data support and decision-making assistance for scenic spot ticket management, helping scenic spots to achieve efficient and intelligent operation management.

[0222] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
