[0037] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure are further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the embodiments of the present disclosure and do not limit the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0038] First, before specifically introducing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical background or technical evolution context based on which the embodiments of the present disclosure are introduced. With the development of Internet technology, more and more users choose to use application programs to book tickets. The current ticket booking method includes that the user queries flights using multiple airline dedicated application programs or multiple business ticket booking programs, then compares, and then books a ticket using one of the application programs according to the comparison result. This method requires the user to repeatedly query between different airline dedicated application programs or different business ticket booking programs, and the query efficiency is low. It should be noted that the applicant has made a lot of creative labor from determining that the above-mentioned method has low query efficiency and the technical solutions introduced in the following embodiments.

[0039] The technical solutions related to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be introduced in combination with the scene to which the embodiments of the present disclosure are applied.

[0040] The ticket booking method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied in an application environment as shown in Figure 1 The application environment includes a terminal 101, a first server 102 and a second server 103, wherein the terminal 101 can communicate with the first server 102 and the second server 103 through a network respectively, and the first server 102 can communicate with the second server 103 through a network. The terminal 101 is installed with multiple application programs that can book tickets, the first server 102 is a server corresponding to the application program currently used by the terminal 101, and the second server 103 is a server corresponding to other application programs in the terminal 101. In some cases, the manufacturer corresponding to the first server 102 can obtain low prices for some flights from airlines. The terminal 101 described above can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, notebook computers, smart phones, tablet computers and portable wearable devices, and the first server 102 and the second server 103 can be implemented by independent servers or a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0041] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 A ticket booking method is provided, which is taken as an example to illustrate the terminal in Figure 1 The method includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 201, in response to a triggering operation on a target flight selection area in a flight list page, a flight details page is displayed.

[0043] After the current application program is started, the terminal displays the ticket home page of the current application program. As shown in Figure 3aAs shown, the ticket homepage includes an information input area of a ticket to be queried. A user can select a one-way or round trip in the information input area, and input a departure date, a departure location, an arrival location, and cabin information. The ticket homepage is provided with a query control, such as "Check price on the whole network" in Figure 3a . When the user triggers the query control, the terminal displays a flight list page in response to the triggering operation on the query control.

[0044] As shown in Figure 3b , the flight list page includes a plurality of flight selection areas. Each flight selection area includes at least one of a departure time, an arrival time, a departure location, an arrival location, airline information, and a flight price. An unselected flight selection area can be colorless or white, and a selected target flight selection area can be gray or other colors.

[0045] The user can select a target flight selection area from the plurality of flight selection areas, and then trigger a control "Next step". The terminal displays a flight detail page in response to the triggering operation on the target flight selection area. The selection and triggering can be clicking or long pressing operations.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3c , the flight detail page is provided with a flight information area and a flight price area. The flight information area includes flight information of the selected flight, such as a departure time, an arrival time, an airline identifier, a flight number, and the like. The flight price area includes a first flight price provided by a current application, a second flight price provided by at least one other application, and a booking control corresponding to each application.

[0047] The display positions of the current application and the other applications can be arranged according to preset rules. For example, the current application "XX self-operated" is always displayed at the top, and the other applications can be displayed from top to bottom according to a predetermined order, or from top to bottom according to the order of the second flight price from low to high.

[0048] It should be noted that the display positions of the applications are not limited to the above examples, and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0049] In step 202, a flight booking page is displayed in response to a triggering operation on a target booking control.

[0050] The user can select a target booking control from the booking controls corresponding to each application, and trigger the target booking control. The terminal displays a flight booking page in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control. For example, if the target booking control is a booking control corresponding to the current application, a flight booking page corresponding to the current application is displayed; if the target booking control is a booking control corresponding to the other application, a flight booking page corresponding to the other application is displayed.

[0051] Step 203, based on the flight booking page, the ticket booking process is performed.

[0052] As shown in the figure, the flight booking page can include passenger information and a booking control. The user fills in the passenger information and triggers the booking control for payment, and the ticket booking process can be implemented. Figure 3d

[0053] In the above embodiment, the terminal displays the flight detail page in response to the triggering operation on the target flight selection area in the flight list page; wherein the flight detail page is provided with a flight information area and a flight price area, the flight information area includes the flight information of the selected flight, the flight price area includes the first flight price provided by the current application, the second flight price provided by at least one other application, and the booking control corresponding to each application; the terminal displays the flight booking page in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control; and the ticket booking process is performed based on the flight booking page. In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the flight prices provided by the current application and other applications can be displayed at the same time, and the user does not need to repeatedly query between multiple applications, thereby improving the query efficiency.

[0054] In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, the above embodiment "in response to the triggering operation on the target flight selection area in the flight list page, the flight detail page is displayed" can include the following steps: Figure 4

[0055] Step 301, in response to the triggering operation on the target flight selection area, a viewing request is sent to the first server corresponding to the current application.

[0056] Wherein, the viewing request is used to instruct the first server to obtain the pre-stored first flight price, and to obtain the second flight price from the second server corresponding to the other application, and to return the first flight price and the second flight price.

[0057] In actual application, the user selects the target flight selection area and triggers the "next" control, and the terminal generates a viewing request according to the flight information of the target flight selection area in response to the triggering operation on the target flight selection area, and sends the viewing request to the first server corresponding to the current application.

[0058] The manufacturer corresponding to the first server pre-obtains the first flight price corresponding to the target flight selection area from the airline, and stores it. After receiving the viewing request, the first server obtains the pre-stored first flight price, and forwards the viewing request to the second server corresponding to the other application. Each second server receives the viewing request, queries the second flight price according to the viewing request, and returns the second flight price to the first server. Then, the first server returns the first flight price and the second flight price to the terminal.​​

[0059] In step 302, a flight details page is displayed based on the first flight price and the second flight price.

[0060] The terminal receives the first flight price and the second flight price, and then displays the flight details page, displays the first flight price at a display position of the current application, and displays the second flight price at a display position of the other application.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the terminal sends a viewing request to the first server corresponding to the current application in response to a triggering operation on the target flight selection area; the first server obtains the pre-stored first flight price according to the viewing request, and obtains the second flight price from the second server corresponding to the other application, and returns the first flight price and the second flight price; and the terminal displays a flight details page based on the first flight price and the second flight price. In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the flight price can be queried from the second server corresponding to the other application through the first server corresponding to the current application, so that the terminal can display the flight prices provided by the current application and the other application at the same time, without the user repeatedly querying between multiple applications, which not only reduces the user operation and the display processing operation of the terminal, but also improves the query efficiency.

[0062] In one embodiment, the viewing request is also used to instruct the first server to return a sorting result of the first flight price and the second flight price area.

[0063] In actual application, after obtaining the first flight price and the second flight price, the first server sorts the first flight price and the second flight price in order from low to high to obtain a sorting result. Then, the first server returns the sorting result to the terminal while returning the first flight price and the second flight price to the terminal.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 4, the step of “displaying a flight details page based on the first flight price and the second flight price” in the above embodiment can include the following steps: Figure 5

[0065] In step 401, the display positions of the current application and the other application are determined according to the sorting result.

[0066] After the terminal receives the sorting result returned by the first server, the display positions of the current application and the other application are determined according to the sorting result.

[0067] For example, the current application A is always displayed at the top, and the up-down positions of the other application B and the other application C are determined according to the sorting result; or the up-down positions of the current application A, the other application B and the other application C are determined according to the sorting result.​

[0068] In step 402, the current application and the other applications are displayed in the flight details page according to the display positions of the current application and the other applications, and the first flight price and the second flight price are displayed.

[0069] After determining the display positions of the current application and the other applications, the current application and the other applications are displayed in the flight details page, the first flight price is displayed at the display position of the current application, and the second flight price is displayed at the display position of the other application.

[0070] In the above embodiments, the display positions of the current application and the other applications are determined according to the sorting result; and the current application and the other applications are displayed in the flight details page according to the display positions of the current application and the other applications, and the first flight price and the second flight price are displayed. In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the price comparison result can be more intuitively displayed to the user, and the user does not need to perform price comparison, which can not only improve the query efficiency, but also improve the user experience.

[0071] In one embodiment, the flight list page includes a plurality of flight selection areas, and each flight selection area includes a quotation control; the embodiments of the present disclosure can further include: in response to a triggering operation on a target quotation control, displaying the first flight price provided by the current application, the second flight price provided by at least one other application, and the booking control corresponding to each application.

[0072] The terminal displays the ticket homepage of the current application. The user can select one-way or round-trip in the information input area of the ticket homepage and input the departure date, departure location, arrival location, and cabin information. Then, the user triggers the query control, and the terminal displays the flight list page in response to the triggering operation on the query control. The flight list page includes a plurality of flight selection areas, and each flight selection area includes at least one of the departure time, the arrival time, the departure location, the arrival location, the airline information, and the flight price. Each flight selection area further includes a quotation control, such as "All Quotations" in Figure 6a .

[0073] The user can select a target quotation control from the quotation controls of the plurality of flight selection areas and trigger the target quotation control. In response to the triggering operation on the target quotation control, the terminal displays the first flight price provided by the current application, the second flight price provided by at least one other application, and the booking control at the display position of each application, as shown in Figure 6b .

[0074] In the above embodiments, in response to a trigger operation on the target price control, the terminal displays the first flight price provided by the current application, the second flight price provided by at least one other application, and the booking controls corresponding to each application. In the technical solution of this disclosure, flight prices provided by multiple applications can be displayed on the flight list page, which is simple to operate, intuitive, improves query efficiency, and enhances the user experience.

[0075] In one embodiment, "displaying a flight booking page in response to a triggering operation on a target booking control" in the above embodiment may include: displaying the first flight booking page of the current application in response to a triggering operation on a target booking control corresponding to the current application.

[0076] Users can select a target booking control from multiple booking controls. If the target booking control corresponds to the current application, the terminal responds to the trigger by displaying the booking page for the first flight corresponding to the current application after the user triggers the target booking control.

[0077] For example, if the target booking control is the booking control corresponding to "XX self-operated", when the user clicks the booking control corresponding to "XX self-operated", the terminal displays the booking page for the first flight corresponding to "XX self-operated".

[0078] like Figure 3d As shown, the First Flight booking page includes at least one price details area, each with a booking control, such as the "Book" button in the image. Each price details area displays cabin information corresponding to different First Flight prices. Cabin information may include economy class, business / first class, discounts, refund and change fees, checked baggage weight, and applicable benefits. For example, First Flight price Y1 corresponds to a 44% discount on economy class, and First Flight price Y2 corresponds to a 57% discount on economy class.

[0079] In one embodiment, the first flight booking page includes a first return control, such as... Figure 3d The "<" in the text. Embodiments of this disclosure may further include: displaying a flight list page in response to a triggering operation on a first return control.

[0080] When a user triggers the first return control, the terminal responds to the trigger operation by returning to the flight list page. Understandably, the first return control allows direct access to the flight list page, making it convenient for users to reselect their target flight.

[0081] It should be noted that the information displayed in the price details area is not limited to the example above and can be set according to the actual situation.

[0082] In the above embodiment, the first flight booking page of the current application is displayed in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control corresponding to the current application. In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the flight booking page is displayed in the current application, so that the ticket booking is realized in the current application, the user is provided with a lower price ticket, the user experience is improved, and the user retention rate in the current application is improved.

[0083] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 , the "ticket booking processing based on the flight booking page" in the above embodiment can include the following steps:

[0084] Step 501, in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control in the first flight booking page, a form filling page is displayed.

[0085] The booking control is arranged in each price detail area in the first flight booking page. The user can select the target booking control from the multiple booking controls and trigger the target booking control. The terminal displays the form filling page in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control.

[0086] As shown in Figure 8 , the form filling page includes an information input area and a payment control. The form filling page can also include flight information such as departure time, departure location, arrival location, flight price, change fee, checked baggage weight, etc. It should be noted that the display content of the form filling page is not limited to the above examples, and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0087] Step 502, obtaining the filled information based on the information input area.

[0088] The user can input the relevant information of the passenger in the information input area, such as name, ID number, contact number, etc. The user can also add other passengers and fill in the relevant information of the other passengers.

[0089] Step 503, displaying an order detail page in response to the triggering operation on the payment control.

[0090] The order detail page includes order detail information. The order detail information includes departure time, departure location, arrival location, flight price, etc.

[0091] The payment control is arranged in the form filling page, such as "go to payment" in Figure 8 . The user triggers the payment control, and the terminal sends a payment request to the first server in response to the triggering operation on the payment control. The first server receives the payment request, determines the payment account and the payment amount according to the payment request, and performs payment processing. After processing, the first server returns the order detail information to the terminal. Then, the terminal receives the order detail information and displays the order detail page according to the order detail information.

[0092] In the above embodiment, the filling page is displayed in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control in the first flight booking page; the filling information is obtained based on the information input area; and the order detail page is displayed in response to the triggering operation on the payment control. In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the current application program provides a user with a lower price ticket, and the user can realize ticket booking in the current application program, which is simple and convenient, can improve the user experience, and can improve the user retention rate in the current application program.

[0093] In one embodiment, the terminal can obtain multiple filling information after the user triggers the target booking control. As shown in the above embodiment, the filling page is displayed in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control in the first flight booking page, which can include the following steps: Figure 9

[0094] Step 601, in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control in the first flight booking page, a passenger information filling page is displayed.

[0095] The user selects the target booking control from the multiple booking controls in the first flight booking page and triggers the target booking control. The terminal displays the passenger information filling page in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control. For example, the user determines the booking control corresponding to the first flight price Y1 in the first flight booking page as the target booking control, clicks the target booking control, and the terminal displays the passenger information filling page.

[0096] As shown in the above embodiment, the filling page is displayed in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control in the first flight booking page, which can include the following steps: Figure 10a

[0097] Step 602, in response to the triggering operation on the first payment control, a travel service filling page is displayed.

[0098] The user can trigger the first payment control in the passenger information filling page, such as "Go to payment" in the above embodiment. The terminal displays the travel service filling page in response to the triggering operation on the first payment control. Figure 10a

[0099] As shown in the above embodiment, the filling page is displayed in response to the triggering operation on the target booking control in the first flight booking page, which can include the following steps: Figure 10b

[0100] ​​​​When a user triggers the second payment control, the terminal responds by sending a payment request to the first server. The first server receives the payment request, determines the payment account and amount based on it, and processes the payment. After processing, the first server returns order details to the terminal. The terminal then receives the order details and displays the order details page accordingly.

[0101] In the above embodiments, the terminal displays a passenger information form page in response to a trigger operation on the target order control in the first flight booking page; and displays a travel service form page in response to a trigger operation on the first payment control. In the technical solution of this disclosure embodiment, passenger information and travel service information can be obtained through the passenger information form page and the travel service form page respectively. This not only provides users with flight booking services but also airport pick-up and drop-off services, thereby greatly improving the user experience and increasing user retention in the current application.

[0102] In one embodiment, after the user triggers the payment control, the terminal can display the order details page in stages, such as... Figure 11 As shown, in the above embodiment, "displaying the order details page in response to a trigger operation on the payment control" includes:

[0103] Step 701: In response to the triggered operation on the second payment control, the first order details page is displayed.

[0104] The terminal displays the travel service form page, and the user triggers the second payment control on the travel service form page. In response to the triggering of the second payment control, the terminal displays the first order details page.

[0105] like Figure 12a As shown, the first order details page includes flight details and travel service information. Flight details include flight number, departure time, arrival time, departure location, arrival location, and flight price. Travel service information includes passenger identification and contact number. The first order details page includes a cancellation control and a third-party payment control. The cancellation control is shown as "Cancel Order" in the image, and the third-party payment control is shown as "Proceed to Payment Remaining 09:37" in the image.

[0106] When a user triggers the cancel control, the terminal responds to the trigger operation by displaying the order page. For example... Figure 12b As shown, the order page includes all controls, a pending payment control, a non-travel control, and a refund / change / after-sales control. When a user triggers a pending payment control, the terminal responds by displaying the pending payment page, which can show previously queried but unpaid flight information.

[0107] In one of the embodiments, the first order detail page includes a second return control, such as ">" in Figure 12a The embodiments of the present disclosure can also include: in response to a triggering operation on the second return control, displaying the flight booking page.

[0108] The user triggers the second return control, and the terminal displays the flight booking page in response to the triggering operation on the second return control. It can be understood that the flight booking page can be quickly returned through the second return control, which is convenient for the user to re-fill the relevant information.

[0109] Step 702, in response to a triggering operation on the third payment control, a second order detail page is displayed.

[0110] The second order detail page includes a prompt information of the completion of the ticket booking.

[0111] The user triggers the third payment control in the first order detail page, and the terminal sends a payment request to the first server in response to the triggering operation on the third payment control. The first server receives the payment request, determines the payment account and the payment amount according to the payment request, and performs payment processing. After processing, the first server returns order detail information to the terminal. Then, the terminal receives the order detail information and displays the second order detail page according to the order detail information.

[0112] In the above embodiments, the first order detail page is displayed in response to a triggering operation on the second payment control, and the second order detail page is displayed in response to a triggering operation on the third payment control. In the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the order detail page is displayed in two steps, which provides a path for the user to cancel the payment. The user can cancel the order or modify the order, improve the accuracy of the ticket booking, and reduce the loss caused by the user's filling of the information.

[0113] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned "in response to a triggering operation on the target booking control, a flight booking page is displayed" can include: in response to a triggering operation on a target booking control corresponding to a target application program in at least one other application program, a second flight booking page of the target application program is displayed.

[0114] In actual application, after the user compares the first flight price and the second flight price, the user can choose not to book the ticket through the current application program, but through other application programs. In this case, the user selects a target application program from other application programs, determines a booking control corresponding to the target application program as a target booking control, and triggers the target booking control. The terminal displays a second flight booking page of the target application program in response to the triggering operation.

[0115] Correspondingly, the "flight booking processing based on the flight booking page" in the above embodiments may include: flight booking processing based on a second flight booking page.

[0116] It should be noted that the flight booking pages of other applications are similar to the flight booking page of the current application. The method of booking tickets based on the second flight booking page is similar to the method of booking tickets based on the first flight booking page, and this disclosure will not elaborate further.

[0117] In the above embodiments, in response to a triggering operation on a target booking control corresponding to the target application in at least one other application, a second flight booking page of the target application is displayed; and ticket booking is processed based on the second flight booking page. In the technical solution of this disclosure, when a user chooses to use another application for ticket booking, the terminal can also display the second flight booking page of that other application, thereby allowing the user to book tickets based on the second flight booking page. That is, this disclosure covers scenarios where users book tickets using multiple applications, which can improve booking efficiency and reduce booking time costs.

[0118] In one embodiment, "displaying the second flight booking page of the target application" in the above embodiment may include: calling the program interface corresponding to the target application to switch from the current application to the target application and displaying the second flight booking page.

[0119] The terminal pre-configures the program interfaces for each other application.
