Selection of certain views of a multidimensional database to materialize may be accomplished using an efficient and effective solution. A set of all potential views may be stored in a structure. A path in the structure may then be traversed in an indicated direction through the structure, the path including two or more potential views and beginning at an indicated view. Then two or more immaterialized views in the path may be compared to each other to determine which immaterialized view is the optimum choice for maximizing benefit if selected to be materialized. Then the traversing and comparing may be continually iterated through, each iteration utilizing an indicated direction different than the last, each iteration also utilizing an indicated view set at the optimum choice determined by the last iteration, the iterating continuing until it converges on a single view. That single view may then be selected for materialization.

Some information retrieval systems, such as the Westlaw™ system, empower users to search thousands of databases. One problem with some systems is that the large number of databases makes it difficult for some users to identify the right database(s) to search. Accordingly, the inventors devised, among other things, new options for helping users target searches on the right databases. One exemplary option enables users to search sample-based database profiles. Another enables users to navigate to a category or subcategory in an online database directory and search databases or database profiles associated with the category. And, yet another enables users to select a query-category and receive a list of relevant database choices, a list of links into a database directory, or a sequence of follow-up questions. One or more of these or other disclosed innovations enable users to execute more effective search strategies, while potentially reducing computational burdens on information retrieval systems.

Legacy transactions, and their costs, meeting specified parameters may be provided through a wide area network to a processing station (e.g. a travel agency). These parameters may be airline flights leaving on a particular day from a specified originating location to a specified destination and specifying established and published fares of primary airlines. Individual transactions (e.g., airline flights and fares) may be provided to a database at the travel agency through the internet from (a) airlines other than the primary airlines in the legacy servers, (b) the primary airlines with discounted fares, (c) consolidators offering wholesale fares and (d) an Orbitz web server. A display screen at the processing station respectively displays the legacy transactions and the other transactions on first and second portions of a display screen. The database selects one of the transactions and provides for the printing of a ticket for the selected transaction at a printer at the travel agency or a printer at the legacy server and for an accounting at the travel agency or the legacy server.

A system for scheduling a location-specific service appointment, the system comprising a communication network, a target service location, a desired service type, a service provider grouping, and an availability calendar. The communication network interconnects data input devices, data output devices, and a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU unit comprises a precompiled service provider database. The target service location and the desired service type are input into the CPU and the service provider database, comprising a plurality of service provider resumes, is searched. The select service provider grouping is compiled based on matched service location information and service expertise information. At least one service provider resume is selected from the select service provider grouping and the availability calendar is then provided upon a data output device.

A method and system for providing a network which routes telephone calls to the dial-up access line of on-line data services, such as an Internet Service Provider. The calls are routed over, over data trunks to a circuit-switch that consolidates access to on-line data services. The data trunks are separate from trunks carrying normal voice telephone calls. At the originating office where the telephone call originates, the call is recognized as a call to a telephone number associated with the dial-up access telephone number of an on-line data service. A database selects a route over a data trunk to the terminating office having a circuit-switch that consolidates access to the on-line data services. The consolidation of access to on-line data services over segregated data trunks to a single circuit-switch reduces congestion in the network by relieving the network from handling a large volume of long duration telephone calls.

The invention relates to an electric automobile time-sharing rental system subserver reserving automobile renting method through electric quantity pre-estimation. A user inputs an automobile use demand through an automobile rental terminal, wherein the automobile use demand includes the start point, the end point, automobile use time and the current position; the automobile rental terminal transmits the automobile use demand to a master server, and the master server retrieves available automobiles around the current position of the user and allocates an available automobile list to the corresponding sub-server; the sub-server calculates the automobile mileage according to the automobile use demand and a navigation database selection route and calculates the required electric quantity of the automobile; and the sub-server finds the available automobiles meeting the required electric quantity of the automobile in the available automobile list, selects and reserves the automobile and successfully reserves the automobile and then feeds reservation information back to the automobile rental terminal. The sub-server selects and reserves the automobile meeting the demand so that the automobile can be accurately allocated, the electric quantity of the reserved automobile is ensured to meet the traveling demand of the user, and the server load problem is effectively solved and the access pressure is alleviated through secondary allocation of resources.

The invention discloses an APP car rental booking method of a car rental system based on the pre-estimated electric quantity. The method comprises the following steps that A) a user inputs a car using demand via an APP; B) a server selects a route according to the car using demand and a navigation database and calculates the mileage of the route; C) if cars whose pre-estimated electric quantity is enough to support the whole mileage exist, a list of the cars is displayed to the user via the APP and a step D) is turned to, and otherwise, a step E) is turned to; D) the user selects a proper car and makes booking; E) the server searches for transfer vehicle renting points, the user selects a proper transfer vehicle renting point, a step F) is turned, and if there are no transfer vehicle renting points in the route, the step A) is returned to, and the car using demand is modified; and F) the user selects a proper car and makes booking. Thus, the user can rent the car with sufficient electric quantity stably, and conditions of breaking down half way due to electricity lack can be reduced. The method is suitable for all electromobile renting systems.
