Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of ticket management, and in particular to a civil aviation electronic ticket system, a ticket management method, a storage medium, and a program product. Background Art

[0002] Tickets used in the civil aviation industry include air tickets and miscellaneous fee receipts. Before they are sold and used, these tickets are called blank tickets. Managing blank tickets is a crucial aspect of civil aviation ticket sales management. Before a ticket is sold, the blank ticket is issued to the sales unit. At the time of sale, the ticket is filled out and issued to the passenger, serving as a receipt for subsequent service delivery.

[0003] The blank ticket management system includes three major functions: organization management, ticket pool management, and ticket number management. An airline may have multiple branches, and each branch may have multiple offices. Airline users only have access to ticket pools with airline administrator, branch administrator, and office administrator privileges. If the user hierarchy is four-tiered, a sales unit that wants to sell electronic expense invoices must have available ticket number segments allocated to it by the upper-level office administrator. The upper-level office administrator must apply for available ticket number segments from the upper-level branch administrator, who in turn must apply for available ticket number segments from the upper-level airline administrator. When multiple sales units apply for sales, their corresponding offices need to know whether the ticket number segments in their ticket pools meet their needs. Branch administrators need to know the number segment ranges already allocated by their upper-level administrators and their usage, as well as the number segment ranges available for distribution from their ticket pools to lower-level administrators. Airline administrators need to know how their number segments have been used since being added to the inventory, the number segments already allocated to lower-level administrators, and the number segment ranges requested by lower-level administrators. This determines which ticket number ranges can be stored, issued, and issued to sales units. When multiple sales units find themselves unable to sell, all their upper-level administrators must calculate, confirm, and allocate the number ranges. This one-to-many relationship requires sales units to patiently wait for allocation to complete.

[0004] Currently, there are systems for distributing electronic ticket numbers, but the main problems with existing systems and technical solutions are that blank tickets are pre-allocated based on number segments, which leads to the following two major problems: (1) The distribution process is cumbersome. During the distribution process, large number segments need to be split into multiple small number segments and distributed step by step, which makes the management process complicated. (2) Recycling is difficult: Recycling is also carried out according to number segments, and recycling is very difficult step by step. Business reasons for recycling include business changes or ticket number segment expiration rotation and other scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present disclosure aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technologies to a certain extent. To this end, a civil aviation electronic ticketing system is proposed, comprising:

[0006] Ticket number retrieval interface, quota consumption module and ticket number consumption module; among them,

[0007] The ticket number interface is configured as follows:

[0008] After receiving the ticket number application instruction sent by the sales unit, the quota data and ticket number data of the sales unit are updated through the quota consumption module and the ticket number consumption module, and a blank ticket number is allocated to the sales unit.

[0009] Furthermore, the parameters corresponding to the quota data include: sales unit code, ticket type, allocation quota and consumption quota; the parameters corresponding to the ticket number data include: starting ticket number, capacity, remaining quantity and ticket type; the ticket types are divided into domestic tickets and international tickets.

[0010] Furthermore, the credit limit data is stored in a credit limit database, and the ticket number data is stored in a ticket number database.

[0011] Furthermore, the system further includes: a credit limit management module configured to: respond to a credit limit management instruction of a user and process the credit limit data stored in the credit limit database.

[0012] Furthermore, the ticket number consumption module allocates ticket numbers to the sales module, and the execution method includes:

[0013] Searching for a blank ticket number segment in the ticket number database;

[0014] Determine, based on the starting ticket number and ending ticket number of the blank ticket number segment, whether the blank ticket number segment meets the ticket number quantity requirement of the sales module; if not, repeat the above method; if yes, allocate the blank ticket number segment to the sales module;

[0015] The allocation result of the blank ticket number segment is recorded.

[0016] Furthermore, the system further includes: a ticket number management module configured to: respond to a user's ticket number management instruction and process the ticket number data stored in the ticket number database.

[0017] Furthermore, the ticket number management module is further configured to reclaim the allocated ticket number segments, and the execution method includes: marking the target ticket number segments to be reclaimed as unusable ticket number segments.

[0018] The present disclosure also proposes a civil aviation electronic ticket management method based on the above-mentioned civil aviation electronic ticket system, comprising:

[0019] Using the ticket number interface, execute the following method:

[0020] After receiving the ticket number application instruction sent by the sales unit, the quota data and ticket number data of the sales unit are updated through the quota consumption module and the ticket number consumption module, and a blank ticket number is allocated to the sales unit.

[0021] The present disclosure also proposes a computer-readable storage medium, in which a computer program or instruction is stored. When the computer program or instruction is executed by a processor, it is at least used to implement the above-mentioned civil aviation electronic ticket management method.

[0022] The present disclosure also proposes a computer program product, which is stored in a computer-readable storage medium. When the computer program product is executed by a processor, it is at least used to implement the above-mentioned civil aviation electronic ticket management method.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0024] (1) The civil aviation electronic ticketing system disclosed in this disclosure abandons the traditional ticket number segments during the distribution process and instead uses digitally represented quotas. The system changes from pre-allocated ticket numbers to on-demand ticket number allocation. The entire distribution process does not involve the splitting of number segments. Each sales unit obtains a digital quota instead of a pre-allocated number segment. The actual allocation of ticket numbers is postponed until the ticket number is obtained at the time of sale. Within the ticket number retrieval process, quota consumption and ticket number consumption are carried out.

[0025] (2) The civil aviation electronic ticket system disclosed in the present invention changes from pre-allocated ticket numbers to on-demand ticket number allocation, and all number segments are shared between different sales units, overcoming the defect of the existing pre-allocated ticket number management model that cannot share ticket numbers.

[0026] (3) When the civil aviation electronic ticket system disclosed in the present invention recycles a number segment, it can simply mark the corresponding number segment as recycled in the ticket number database. This eliminates the need to recycle previously allocated ticket number segments from the sales unit step by step, thus simplifying the operation.

[0027] Other features and advantages of the present disclosure will be described in the following description and, in part, will become apparent from the description or be learned through practice of the present disclosure. The objectives and other advantages of the present disclosure can be achieved and obtained through the structures particularly pointed out in the written description and the accompanying drawings. The technical solutions of the present disclosure are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] The present disclosure is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0033] The present disclosure proposes a civil aviation electronic ticketing system, comprising:

[0034] Ticket number retrieval interface, quota consumption module and ticket number consumption module; among them,

[0035] The ticket number interface is configured as follows:

[0036] After receiving the ticket number application instruction sent by the sales unit, the quota data and ticket number data of the sales unit are updated through the quota consumption module and the ticket number consumption module, and a blank ticket number is allocated to the sales unit.

[0037] Furthermore, the corresponding parameters of the quota data include: sales unit code, ticket type, allocation quota and consumption quota; the corresponding parameters of the ticket number data include: starting ticket number, capacity, remaining quantity and ticket type; ticket types are divided into domestic tickets and international tickets.

[0038] Furthermore, the credit limit data is stored in a credit limit database, and the ticket number data is stored in a ticket number database.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sales unit code refers to the unique identifier of the sales unit, blank tickets need to be distinguished between international and domestic, that is, the ticket types are divided into domestic tickets and international tickets, the allocated quota refers to the cumulative total number of ticket quotas allocated to the sales unit, and the consumed quota refers to the cumulative total number of tickets consumed by the sales unit.

[0040] According to some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the credit limit data table is shown in Table 1:

[0041] Table 1

[0042]

[0043] For the sales unit code, for example, PEK001 represents the ticket management agency in the North China region, PEK111 represents a sales unit under the management of PEK001, and PEK112 represents another sales unit under the management of PEK001.

[0044] Taking PEK001 as an example, the administrator initially increases the quota for PEK001 in the North China region: domestic tickets, 3,000 tickets. The quota data table is shown in Table 2:

[0045] Table 2

[0046] Sales unit code (office) Type quota Consumed PEK001 domestic 3000 0

[0047] According to other embodiments of the present disclosure, the ticket number data table includes: a blank number segment data table and a ticket number actual destination table. The blank ticket number data table is shown in Table 3:

[0048] Table 3

[0049]

[0050] For example, an airline company releases blank tickets: domestic tickets, starting with ticket number 4320000001, 50,000 tickets; international tickets, starting with ticket number 4340000001, 10,000 tickets. The blank ticket number data table shown in Table 4 can be obtained:

[0051] Starting ticket number (stock_from) Capacity (cap) Remaining quantity (free) Type 4320000001 50000 50000 domestic 4342800001 10000 10000 international

[0052] The actual destination of the ticket number is shown in Table 5:

[0053] Table 5

[0054]

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the civil aviation electronic ticket system includes: several sales modules (sales systems of sales units) and a ticket module, wherein the ticket module includes: a ticket number consumption module, a ticket number database, a ticket number retrieval interface, a credit consumption module and a credit database. The sales system realizes credit consumption by calling the ticket number retrieval interface. The credit consumption module is used to process corresponding instructions, calculate the credit data corresponding to the sales system and update the credit database. The ticket number data module is used to process corresponding instructions, calculate the ticket number data corresponding to the sales system and update the ticket number database.

[0056] Furthermore, the system further includes a credit limit management module configured to process credit limit data stored in the credit limit database in response to a credit limit management instruction from a user.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the ticket module further includes a quota management module, which is configured to receive a quota management instruction sent by a management personnel and process and update the quota database according to the quota management instruction for the corresponding quota data.

[0058] According to some other embodiments of the present disclosure, quota management includes:

[0059] Increasing quota and decreasing quota, wherein the steps of increasing quota are as follows:

[0060] S101. According to the quota data parameter values (such as the sales unit code and the ticket type), check whether there is corresponding quota data in the quota data table (stored in the quota database). If so, go to S102 to update the found quota data;

[0061] S102. Let quota_new = quota + quota_add, where quota_new represents the new quota, quota_add represents the quota increment, and quota represents the allocated quota;

[0062] S103. Update the allocated quota field of the quota record to quota_new;

[0063] S104. Determine whether the quota data is successfully updated and output the determination result;

[0064] S105. Update the quota record for the sales unit, and the quota record <sales unit code, type, allocated quota, consumed quota> = <office, type, quota_add, 0>;

[0065] S106. Determine whether the quota record is successfully updated and output the determination result.

[0066] The steps of decreasing quota are as follows:

[0067] S201. According to the quota data parameter values, check whether there is corresponding quota data in the quota data table. If so, go to S202, otherwise report an error;

[0068] S202. Determine whether quota - consumed < quota_remove holds. If so, report an error indicating that the current remaining quota of the sales unit is not enough for this quota reduction, otherwise calculate the new quota quota_new = quota - quota_remove; here, consumed represents the consumed quota, and quota_remove represents the quota to be reduced; <着作权所有 (C) 2016 鸿海精密工业股份有限公司保留所有(权利) 未经书面许可,不得翻印或使用。

[0069] S203. Update the allocated quota field of the quota record to quota_new;

[0070] S204. Determine whether the quota data is updated successfully and output the determination result.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, PEK001 in the North China region (currently allocated quota: domestic tickets, 3,000 tickets) increases the quota of 500 domestic tickets to its subordinate sales unit PEK113 (currently allocated quota: domestic tickets, 0 tickets). This involves the quota consumption of PEK001 and the quota increase of PEK113. The corresponding quota data table records are shown in Table 6:

[0072] Table 6

[0073] Unit code (office) Type quota Consumed PEK001 domestic 3000 500 PEK113 domestic 500 0

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sales system applies to the ticket module for a specified number of ticket numbers by calling the ticket number retrieval interface. At this time, the ticket number consumption module allocates ticket numbers to the corresponding sales module according to the received ticket number application instructions, and updates the ticket number database to record the ticket numbers actually allocated by the sales system.

[0075] According to other embodiments of the present disclosure, the process of credit consumption is as follows:

[0076] S301. According to the input quota data parameter value, find the quota data table to see if the corresponding quota data exists. If so, go to S302, otherwise an error is reported;

[0077] S302. Determine whether remain ≥ want. If not, an error is reported, indicating that the quota consumption failed (the remaining quota of the current sales unit is less than the current consumption amount). If so, calculate the new value of the consumption quota: consumed_new = consumed + want; where want represents the current consumption amount, remain = quota - consumed, quota represents the allocated quota, consumed represents the consumption quota, and consumed_new represents the new value of the consumption quota.

[0078] S303. Update the quota record of the sales unit, that is, set the consumption quota of the sales unit in the quota data table to consumed_new;

[0079] S304. Determine whether the quota data is updated successfully and output the determination result.

[0080] Furthermore, the ticket number consumption module allocates ticket numbers to the sales module, and the execution method includes:

[0081] Search for blank ticket number segments in the ticket number database;

[0082] Based on the starting and ending ticket numbers of the blank ticket number segment, determine whether the blank ticket number segment meets the ticket number quantity requirement of the sales module. If not, repeat the above method. If yes, allocate the blank ticket number segment to the sales module.

[0083] Record the allocation results of blank ticket number segments.

[0084] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the process of ticket number consumption (ticket number allocation) is as follows:

[0085] S401. Read the blank number segment table based on the input amount data parameter value (eg, ticket type) and locate a blank number segment;

[0086] S402. Based on the start and end ticket numbers of the located blank segment, determine whether the blank segment capacity meets the requirements (the blank segment capacity is greater than the required ticket number). If so, proceed to S403. Otherwise, return to S401 and continue to check whether the blank segment capacity meets the requirements. If the blank segment capacity still does not meet the requirements after traversing the blank segment table, an error is reported.

[0087] S403. Allocate some of the ticket numbers in the blank number segment to the corresponding sales units, and update the actual destination table of the ticket numbers and the remaining quantity of the blank number segment.

[0088] Furthermore, the system further includes a ticket number management module configured to process the ticket number data stored in the ticket number database in response to a ticket number management instruction from a user.

[0089] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, the civil aviation electronic ticket system provided in the present disclosure includes: at least one sales system (the above-mentioned sales module), a ticket number retrieval interface, a quota consumption module, a quota database, a quota management module, a ticket number consumption module, a ticket number database, and a ticket number management module. Users can process the ticket number data stored in the ticket number database through the ticket number management module. The functions of other modules are detailed above.

[0090] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, ticket number management includes placing number segments, and the steps are as follows:

[0091] S501. Construct a blank number segment record, ticket type = type, from = grant_from, cap = grant_count, free = grant_count, where grant_from indicates the starting ticket number to be released, and grant_count indicates the number to be released;

[0092] S502. Write this blank segment record to the blank segment table;

[0093] S503. Determine whether the writing is successful and output the writing result.

[0094] According to some other embodiments of the present disclosure, PEK113 is sold, 3 tickets are sold, ticket issuing is prepared, the ticket number interface is called, and the quota consumption and ticket number consumption are sequentially called inside the ticket number interface, and finally <4320000>001, 3> is returned.

[0095] The corresponding data table for the above process is as follows:

[0096] Table 7

[0097] Unit code (office) Type quota Consumed PEK001 domestic 3000 500 PEK113 domestic 500 3

[0098] Table 7 is the quota data table, which reflects the quota consumption situation.

[0101] Table 8 is the ticket number data table, which reflects the change situation of the ticket number.

[0102] Table 9

[0103] Sales unit code (office) Starting ticket number (sales_from) Quantity (count) PEK113 4320000001 3

[0104] Table 9 is the actual destination table of the ticket number, which reflects the distribution situation of the ticket number.

[0105] Further, the ticket number management module is further configured to recycle the allocated ticket number segment, and the executed method includes: marking the target ticket number segment to be recycled as an unavailable ticket number segment.

[0106] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, ticket number management includes recycling the number segment, including marking the segment to be recycled as a blank ticket number segment and counting the number of recycled ticket numbers. The steps for counting the number of recycled ticket numbers are as follows:

[0107] S601. Set revoked = 0, traverse the blank segment table, and for each blank segment record, calculate its intersection with the segment to be revoked, that is,<stock_from+cap-free,stock_from+cap> and<revoke_from,revoke_to> intersection of<join_from,join_to> ; stock_from represents the starting ticket number corresponding to the target blank number segment record, stock_to represents the ending ticket number corresponding to the target blank number segment record, cap represents the capacity corresponding to the target blank number segment record, free represents the remaining quantity corresponding to the target blank number segment record; revoke_from represents the starting ticket number of the number segment to be recovered, revoke_to represents the ending ticket number of the number segment to be recovered; join_from represents the starting ticket number of the intersection, join_to represents the ending ticket number of the intersection.

[0108] S602. Calculate the number of this recycling num = join_to-join_from + 1;

[0109] S603. Set the remaining capacity of the target blank number segment record to 0, revoked=revoked+num, and return to S601 until the traversal of the blank number segment table is completed, and output revoked at the end of the traversal, that is, the number of successful reclaims.

[0110] According to other embodiments of the present disclosure, after a period of sales, YY Airlines decided to deactivate the domestic number segment: 4320000001-4320050000; and activate the new domestic number segment 4321000001-4321999999, initially releasing 20,000 tickets. The operation method is: first release the new number segment, then recycle the old number segment. The corresponding ticket number data table changes as follows:

[0111] Table 10

[0112] Starting ticket number (stock_from) Capacity (cap) Remaining quantity (free) Type 4320000001 50000 0 domestic 4342800001 10000 10000 international 4321000001 20000 20000 domestic

[0113] After this operation, the old number segment can be deactivated and the new number segment can be activated.

[0114] Based on the same technical concept, the present disclosure also proposes a civil aviation electronic ticket management method based on the above-mentioned civil aviation electronic ticket system, comprising:

[0115] Use the ticket number interface to execute the following method:

[0116] After receiving the ticket number application instruction sent by the sales unit, the quota data and ticket number data of the sales unit are updated through the quota consumption module and the ticket number consumption module, and a blank ticket number is allocated to the sales unit.

[0117] like Figure 2 As shown, the present disclosure provides an electronic device, which includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program or instruction. When the computer program or instruction is executed by the processor, it is at least used to implement the above-mentioned civil aviation electronic ticket management method.

[0118] like Figure 3 As shown, the present disclosure also proposes a computer-readable storage medium, in which a computer program or instruction is stored. When the computer program or instruction is executed by a processor, it is at least used to implement the above-mentioned civil aviation electronic ticket management method.

[0119] The present disclosure also proposes a computer program product, which is stored in a computer-readable storage medium. When the computer program product is executed by a processor, it is at least used to implement the above-mentioned civil aviation electronic ticket management method.

[0120] The electronic avionics ticketing system and ticket management method proposed in this disclosure have the following advantages:

[0121] (1) Simplified distribution process: During the distribution process, the traditional ticket number segments are abandoned and the quota is represented by numbers. The pre-allocated ticket numbers are replaced by on-demand ticket number allocation. The entire distribution process does not involve the splitting of number segments. Each sales unit obtains a quota number instead of a pre-allocated number segment. The actual allocation of ticket numbers is postponed until the ticket number is obtained at the time of sale. During the ticket number collection process, the quota consumption and ticket number consumption are carried out.

[0122] (2) Convenient ticket number sharing: All number segments are shared between different sales units; this overcomes the defect of the existing pre-allocated ticket number management model that cannot share ticket numbers.

[0123] (3) Convenient recycling: When a number segment is recycled, the corresponding number segment can be directly marked as recycled in the ticket number database, without the need to recycle the allocated ticket number segment from the sales unit step by step.

[0124] It is obvious that those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Thus, if such changes and modifications of the present disclosure fall within the scope of the claims of the present disclosure and their equivalents, the present disclosure is intended to include such changes and modifications.
