Airport Selection Interface for Private Jet Segments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing travel booking systems for private jet segments are limited, offering users limited options for selecting departure and destination airports, and requiring clients to navigate multiple user interfaces to find suitable flight options.
Innovation Solution
The development of user interfaces that allow clients to view multiple candidate airports and their relative required amounts on a single display, enabling users to select airports for a new private jet segment efficiently, with features like airport selection controls and real-time updates of required amounts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If clients navigate multiple user interfaces to select airports, then they can find suitable flight options, but it increases time consumption and operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple airport selection interfaces into a single display that shows multiple candidate airports (including alternate airports) along with their required amounts simultaneously. This merging eliminates the need for clients to navigate through multiple separate interfaces, directly reducing time consumption while maintaining comprehensive airport selection flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to the airport selection interface by displaying not only airport identifiers but also the required amounts for each airport option within the same view. This dimensional expansion allows clients to compare multiple airports and their associated costs in a single screen, eliminating the need for sequential interface navigation.
2Loss of information
If clients navigate multiple user interfaces to view airport options, then they can make informed selections, but it increases device complexity and network burden
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display of multiple airport options and their corresponding required amounts into a single user interface. This consolidation maintains complete airport information (identifiers and costs) while eliminating the complexity of multiple separate interfaces and reducing network burden by loading all data in one request.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the airport information display within a single interface by clearly separating airport identifiers from their required amounts, and by visually distinguishing between primary and alternate airports. This segmentation organizes comprehensive information in a structured manner that avoids interface complexity while maintaining information completeness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides detailed airport options across multiple interfaces, then clients have comprehensive choices, but it increases network data transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple airport options and their required amounts into a single data transmission set that is displayed on one interface. This merging allows the system to provide comprehensive airport selection options while transmitting all necessary data in a single network request, thereby reducing overall network data transmission and energy consumption compared to multiple separate requests.

AI summary
This document describes techniques and user interfaces for the creation of private jet segments. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a departure geographic identifier and a destination geographic identifier. A user interface is updated to present a first departure airport identifier for a first candidate departure airport, a first destination airport identifier for a first candidate destination airport, and one or more airport selection controls including, for each of one or more additional candidate airports, an airport selection control for selecting a corresponding additional candidate airport for the client-initiated segment. Each airport selection control depicts (i) an airport identifier for the corresponding additional candidate airport and (ii) an additional required amount that is required to be submitted by a creator of the client-initiated segment if the corresponding additional candidate airport is selected for the client-initiated segment using the airport selection control.
