Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of NDC technology, and in particular to an NDC-oriented application development platform, method, device and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] As the International Air Transport Association (IATA) promotes the implementation of the New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard, airlines are gradually adopting NDC-based quotation and order management systems (OOMS) to optimize sales processes. As an aggregator, airlines have launched the AggSky system, which provides airlines and their partners with a unified NDC interface and data interaction standard through the AggOrigin system, enabling rapid access and efficient management of NDC interfaces with multiple airlines. The AggSky system not only simplifies the development process and reduces access costs, but also improves the efficiency and accuracy of data transmission, promoting the digital transformation of the aviation distribution field. At the same time, NDC messages, as the cornerstone of data transmission, ensure the consistency and integrity of information. Through NDC standard interfaces such as the AirShopping interface, passengers can easily query the required flight cabins, brand fares and other information, improving the passenger experience.

[0003] In the existing NDC development environment, developers usually need to face complex interface definitions, data exchange formats, and access issues with multiple airlines. Traditional development methods often require developers to have deep knowledge and technical background in airline distribution business, and also need to manually write a lot of code to achieve docking with the NDC interfaces of different airlines. As the market business expands, the speed and number of airline access increase. Traditional development methods are not only inefficient, but also prone to errors and difficult to adapt to rapidly changing business needs. In addition, existing development tools often lack dedicated components and integrated environments for NDC development, resulting in developers needing to integrate various resources and tools on their own during the development process, which increases the complexity and difficulty of development. At the same time, due to the lack of unified development standards and specifications, NDC applications developed by different developers often have compatibility and maintainability issues.

[0004] In summary, the existing technology has the following problems: 1. Low development efficiency: The traditional NDC development method requires manual writing of a large amount of code, and requires multiple rounds of testing and debugging, resulting in a long development cycle and unable to meet rapidly changing business needs. 2. Error-prone: Errors are prone to occur in the process of manual code writing and docking with different airline interfaces, resulting in unstable development quality and increased subsequent maintenance costs. 3. Lack of special tool support: Existing development tools lack special components and integrated environments for NDC development, resulting in developers needing to integrate various resources and tools on their own, increasing the complexity and difficulty of development. 4. Compatibility and maintainability issues: Due to the lack of unified development standards and specifications, NDC applications developed by different developers often have compatibility and maintainability issues, which brings difficulties to subsequent maintenance and upgrades. Summary of the invention

[0044] Terminology explanation:

[0045] IATA: International Air Transport Association (IATA) is a large international organization composed of airlines from all over the world. Its predecessor was the International Air Transport Association, which was established in The Hague in 1919 and dissolved during World War II. It is headquartered in Montreal, Canada, and its executive body is located in Geneva. Compared with ICAO, which regulates aviation safety and navigation rules, it is more like an international coordination organization composed of carriers (airlines) to manage issues such as fares and dangerous goods transportation in civil aviation transportation. Its main role is to coordinate and communicate inter-governmental policies through air transport companies and solve practical operational problems.

[0046] NDC: New Distribution Capability (NDC) is a new distribution industry standard that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has been promoting in recent years. The new distribution capability mainly develops a unified data transmission standard based on XML format messages, and airlines and their partners can use this unified standard to interact with each other. Airlines can dynamically and in real time build flight fares, air tickets and ancillary products based on sellers' requests and information about sellers and passengers (the product quotes built and returned by airlines to partners are often referred to as Offers in NDC), and then provide them to sellers through unified XML format standard messages. This design changes the traditional air ticket field, where GDS mainly builds Offers for distribution, allowing airlines to return to the dominant position in transactions and promote direct sales by airlines. In the writings of technical personnel, due to non-standardization, NDC is often referred to as "NDC standard", "NDC protocol", "NDC capability", "NDC sales", etc. These non-standard terms actually mean the same thing.

[0047] GDS: Global Distribution System (GDS) is a large-scale computer information service system used in civil aviation transportation and the entire tourism industry. Through GDS, travel sales agencies around the world can obtain a large amount of travel-related information from airlines, hotels, car rental companies, and travel agencies in a timely manner, thereby providing customers with fast, convenient, and reliable services.

[0048] OOMS: Offer and Order Management System (OOMS) is an airline sales system built based on the NDC standard. The system interacts with partners through interfaces and NDC standard messages, see entry 2. OOMS is the carrier for airlines to implement NDC.

[0049] Offer: In a system built on NDC (e.g. OOMS), the information returned by the airline, such as flight class, brand fare, additional services, usage rules, etc., is called Offer. Each Offer can have multiple OfferItems, one OfferItem for each passenger type and one OfferItem for each additional service.

[0050] Order: Various transaction data stored in a system built on NDC (for example, OOMS), or NDC-based order information.

[0051] NDC message: NDC mainly develops a unified data transmission standard based on XML format messages. Airlines and their partners can exchange data through this unified standard (see entry 2). These unified standard messages are NDC messages. NDC messages are presented in XML format documents, and the definition files for these XML format documents are the corresponding XSD files. Whether XSD files or XML files, they comply with their own technical specifications. For example, there are some "nodes", "attributes" and other contents, which are all standard technical definitions.

[0052] NDC interface: OOMS is the carrier for airlines to implement NDC (see entry 4). Due to the diversity of business links and process scenarios in the airline sales process, OOMS must provide a variety of different interfaces to meet the needs of interaction in the entire business process. For example, common NDC interfaces include: AirShopping (Offer query, providing users with the function of querying the required products), OrderCreate (Order generation, providing users with the function of placing orders with the airline OOMS), OrderRetrieve (Order retrieval, providing users with the function of requesting the airline to view the status of booked orders), etc. Different interfaces use their own NDC messages. In the writing of technical personnel, due to non-standardization, the NDC interface is often also referred to as the "interface", "NDC sales interface", "NDC sales port", etc. These non-standard terms actually represent the same meaning.

[0053] NDC version: NDC is a relatively new and continuously developing project, and IATA is also continuously optimizing and improving NDC. This is reflected in the specific deliverables, that is, NDC messages will release two updated iterative versions every year (for all NDC interfaces), and their version numbers are composed of "year" and "version number". For example, the second version released in 2017 is 17.2; the first version released in 2018 is 18.1, etc. In the writing of technical personnel, due to non-standardization, the decimal point of the NDC version may be omitted, that is, "18.2" is written as "182", etc. These non-standard terms actually mean the same thing.

[0054] Aggregator: Aggregator is a new role defined by NDC in the field of civil aviation distribution. Due to the different NDC versions, business understandings, and application methods of OOMS of various airlines, the NDC interfaces provided by airline OOMS are different. It is very costly and difficult for downstream channel users to connect to the NDC interfaces of airline OOMS. Therefore, the Aggregator role was born in NDC, which connects to the NDC interfaces of various airlines, summarizes, parses, converts, and integrates the NDC content of different airlines to generate aggregated content, and then provides a unified interface to downstream channel users in accordance with the NDC standard. Downstream channel users only need to connect to the unified interface to quickly achieve docking sales with multiple airlines. In the writing of technical personnel, due to non-standardization, Aggregator is often also called "Agg", "Aggregator", "NDC Aggregator", "Content Aggregator", etc. These non-standard terms actually mean the same thing.

[0055] Aggregator: Aggregators are manufacturers or technology providers that provide aggregators. In the writings of technical personnel, due to non-standardization, aggregators are often also called "content aggregators", etc. These non-standard terms actually mean the same thing.

[0056] AirShopping interface: It is an interface defined by IATA's NDC standard and is the first step in the NDC sales process. Through the Shopping interface, by entering the origin, destination, travel time, and passenger information (such as the number of people, passenger type, etc.), you can obtain the flight class, brand fares, services and rules information corresponding to the query conditions.

[0057] OD: O is the origin, original; D is the destination, destination. An OD represents a route, a trip that the user wants to query. A round trip consists of at least two ODs, one for the outbound trip and one for the return trip.

[0058] Software: refers to the sum of products maintained by the project team, a general term for the overall product system, for example: Tianyi.

[0059] Module: refers to the component or subsystem of the software, for example: Tianyi software has AggOrigin module, AggTrace module, AggAdmin module, etc.

[0060] Component: refers to the logical components within a module. For example, the AggOrigin module includes aggregator components, airline components, etc.

[0061] AggSky (AGGSKY for short) refers to the aggregator system launched by airlines that complies with the NDC standards.

[0062] AggOrigin: NDC aggregation platform module of Tianyi system.

[0084] Figure 2 is a flow chart of an NDC-oriented application development method of this exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides an NDC-oriented application development method, including:

[0085] Authenticate user login information;

[0086] After successful authentication, enter the code repository address, development space name, and description information into the code management module;

[0087] Configure database service information and middleware service information in the service configuration module;

[0090] During the integration of new airlines, select plugins from the plugin library module;

[0091] Deploy the NDC application to the test environment and perform a security scan on the code.

[0092] like Figure 3 The flowchart shown in the figure describes in detail the entire process from user login to application deployment and security scanning, including login and verification, code management, middleware configuration, container initialization, environment variable configuration, plug-in use, development and testing, etc. The software implementation process includes:

[0093] Login and Authorization: The user logs in to the NDC development platform device through administrator authorization.

[0094] Code management: In the code management module, developers fill in the code repository address and specify the development space name and description information.

[0095] Service configuration: Developers select database and middleware services that suit project requirements in the service configuration module and set corresponding permissions.

[0096] Container initialization: The container initialization module automatically creates a container based on the code repository address, pulls the code, compiles it, and downloads dependent packages.

[0097] Component selection: Developers select the required NDC business function components from the component library and configure and call them.

[0098] Plugin usage: When developing integration functions for newly connected airlines, developers use the corresponding plug-ins in the plug-in library, such as the NDC airline generation plug-in, the NDC query plug-in, etc.

[0099] Development and testing: Developers develop according to business requirements and verify the correctness of functions through testing.

[0100] Deployment and scanning: Use the deployment tool to deploy the NDC application to the test environment and use the security scanning module to perform a security scan on the code.

[0101] Specifically, the NDC business function components include a newly-accessed airline module component, a newly-accessed airline flight information query component, a newly-accessed airline seat booking component, and a newly-accessed airline order creation component.

[0102] Specifically, the plug-ins include NDC airline generation plug-in, NDC query plug-in, NDC price verification plug-in, NDC order creation plug-in and NDC payment plug-in.

[0103] Specifically, the NDC airline generation plug-in is used to generate airline access and call codes, and automatically complete the airline loading work; the NDC query plug-in is used to automatically generate airline query codes and complete code assembly. When the airline returns the query results, the return message is automatically mapped, and the airline's query function is loaded into the aggregator; the NDC price verification plug-in is used to automatically generate airline price verification codes. When the airline returns the price verification results, the return message is automatically mapped, and the airline's price verification process is loaded into the NDC aggregation platform module; the NDC order creation plug-in is used to automatically generate airline order creation codes. When the airline returns the order creation results, the return message is automatically converted into a standard message and sent to the order entry unified processor for processing.

[0104] In order to better illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following will use a specific case to explain in detail its operation process and advantages based on the query, booking, order creation, and order payment business processes of the newly connected airline.

[0105] New developers need to use the latest version of the recommended browser to fully utilize the NDC development platform device of the present invention. When accessing the platform, ensure that the administrator's explicit authorization has been obtained, which is the first step to enter the development environment.

[0106] After successfully logging in, developers will be directed to an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, which includes a powerful code management module. In this module, developers can easily fill in their own code repository address and specify a unique development space name and detailed description information for the upcoming development work. This information not only helps developers manage their own projects, but also allows other team members to quickly understand the basic situation of the project.

[0107] Next, developers need to configure database service information and middleware service information. Through simple operations, developers can choose database and middleware services that suit their project needs and set corresponding permission configurations. This step ensures the rapid application of environmental resources for project operation and accelerates development efficiency.

[0108] After the configuration is completed, the NDC development platform device of this embodiment will automatically enter the initialization phase. The device will automatically create a container based on the code repository address provided by the developer and pull the latest code from the repository. At the same time, according to the selected image, the device will compile the code and download the required code dependency packages. This process greatly simplifies the tedious project initialization work in traditional development, allowing developers to enter the actual development phase faster.

[0109] Once the project is initialized, developers can start selecting the required components according to the task requirements. The NDC development platform device of this embodiment provides a rich component library, which contains various NDC business function components, such as the new access airline module component, the new access airline flight information query component, the new access airline seat booking component, and the new access airline order creation component. These components have been rigorously tested and verified to ensure that they can run stably and reliably in various environments. Developers only need to select the required components from the component library and perform simple configuration and calling to quickly realize business needs.

[0110] When developers receive the development requirements for the integration of new airlines, they will go through a series of carefully designed processes to ensure that the integration of new airlines is completed efficiently and accurately. The following is an optimized description of this process, detailing each step and the plug-in functions involved.

[0111] New airline access initialization. After receiving the access task of new AB airline, the developer will first use the new access airline module plug-in provided by this platform. This plug-in is highly intelligent and automated, and can quickly generate AB airline access and call code in the AggOrigin system code, thereby automatically completing the loading of AB airline. Developers only need to fill in the address, permissions and other configuration information of AB airline according to the prompts. When the system starts, the AggOrigin system can automatically load AB airline, which greatly simplifies the cumbersome configuration and loading process in traditional development.

[0112] After completing the initialization of the newly connected airline module plug-in, the developer will enter the development stage of the airline query interface. At this time, the developer will use the NDC query plug-in of this device. This plug-in can automatically generate the query code of AB airlines and complete the code assembly under the generated AB airline module. Developers only need to fill in the required request business information in the generated ABAirShoppingRQ to easily call the airline's query interface. When the airline returns the query results, the system will automatically map the return message to ABAirShoppingRS to ensure that the system can expose the query service of AB airlines to the outside world in accordance with the NDC18.2 standard. At the same time, the plug-in will also generate ABAirShoppingAirLineHandler code to load the query function of AB airlines into the entire Aggregator aggregator. Developers can also add their own personalized processes on this basis to meet the needs of different business scenarios.

[0113] NDC price verification operation, after querying the flight information, users usually perform price verification operations on the selected flights. At this time, the developer will use the NDC price verification plug-in to automatically generate the price verification code of AB airlines. This plug-in can simplify the price verification process and ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the price verification operation. When the airline returns the price verification result, the system will automatically map the return message to ABOfferPriceRS and expose the price verification service of AB airlines to the outside world in accordance with the NDC 18.2 standard. At the same time, the plug-in will also generate ABOfferPriceAirLineHandler code to load the price verification process of AB airlines into the entire AggOrigin system.

[0114] NDC creates the order process. After completing the flight price verification, the user will place an order. At this time, the developer will use the NDC create order plug-in to automatically generate the order creation code for AB airlines. This plug-in can ensure the accuracy and completeness of the order information and improve the efficiency and success rate of order creation. When the airline returns the order creation result, the system will automatically convert the return message into a standard message of version 182 and send it to the unified handler for order warehousing for processing. The handler will generate the current OrderViewMessage (currentOrderInfo) from OrderViewRS, obtain the current process standard version baseline OrderViewMessage (previousOrderInfo) from the database, and then send it to the order component for subsequent processing.

[0115] NDC payment order process, in the normal air ticket sales business process, the payment link is indispensable. At this time, the developer will use the NDC payment plug-in to automatically generate the payment code of AB Airlines. This plug-in can ensure the smoothness and security of the payment process and improve the user payment experience. When the airline returns the payment result, the system will automatically map the return message to ABOrderChangeRS and expose the payment service of AB Airlines to the outside world in accordance with the NDC 18.2 standard. At the same time, the plug-in will also generate ABOrderChangeAirLineHandler code to load the payment process of AB Airlines into the entire AggOrigin system.

[0116] During the development process, developers can use the device to start real-time testing and debugging functions to conduct a comprehensive inspection of NDC applications. The device simulates real user requests and airline interface responses, providing developers with a platform that simulates the real environment to verify application functions and performance. Once a problem or error is found, the developer can debug and fix it directly in the device without switching to other tools or environments, greatly improving development efficiency.

[0117] After completing the test and verification, developers can easily deploy NDC applications to the test environment with the deployment tools and process guidance provided by the device. After the deployment is completed, the device will perform a security scan on the submitted code and provide detailed reports and data analysis to help developers identify and resolve potential problems in a timely manner.

[0118] This embodiment not only simplifies the development process and reduces the development difficulty through containerization and componentization, but also significantly improves the development efficiency and quality. At the same time, through strict administrator authorization and permission configuration mechanism, this device ensures the security and controllability of the development environment, providing an efficient, safe and reliable solution for the aviation business development field.
