Dynamic Multifaceted Comparison Tool for Conversational Travel Search
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional travel planning systems require users to manually search for destinations and excursions separately, making it difficult to identify pertinent information in a timely and efficient manner, and users often struggle to conduct side-by-side comparisons of properties to assess how well they meet individual needs and preferences, leading to increased network occupancy and processing power.
Innovation Solution
A computing system that integrates a network interface and processing circuit to receive user inputs, retrieve information, generate summaries of selected outputs, and display them simultaneously with a conversation platform, enabling real-time updates based on user interactions with a conversational assistant.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually search for different destinations and excursions separately, then they can find specific properties, but it increases network occupancy and processing power requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate search functions into a unified search interface that can simultaneously search for destinations, excursions, and properties. The system integrates conversational AI with search results, allowing users to obtain comprehensive travel information through a single interaction rather than multiple separate searches, thereby reducing network occupancy and processing power requirements while maintaining search accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The search system is designed with multi-functionality to handle various search types (destinations, excursions, properties) through a single unified interface. The conversational AI component provides universal assistance across different search queries, enabling the system to perform multiple search functions simultaneously without requiring separate dedicated search processes for each type of travel information
2Measurement precision
If users conduct multiple searches to compare properties, then they can identify pertinent destinations, but it increases the time required to plan a trip
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing search queries and pre-organizing travel information before the user needs to make decisions. The conversational AI proactively provides relevant information about destinations, excursions, and properties based on initial search parameters, and the system pre-computes comparisons and recommendations, allowing users to access well-organized information quickly without needing to conduct multiple sequential searches
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the conversational AI continuously monitors user interactions and adjusts search results in real-time. Based on user questions and preferences expressed during conversation, the system dynamically refines search queries and re-organizes information, providing progressively more targeted results that reduce the time needed for destination identification and property comparison
3Loss of information
If search results and conversation content are displayed separately, then users can access detailed information, but users must synthesize information from multiple sources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges search results display with conversational AI interface into a unified presentation. The system combines structured search results (destinations, properties, excursions) with unstructured conversational content in a single integrated display, allowing users to access both detailed information and interactive assistance without needing to switch between separate interfaces or manually synthesize information from multiple sources
Data Source
AI summary
A computing system includes a processing circuit having at least one processor coupled to at least one memory device. The processing circuit performs operations including: receiving, from a user device, at least one selected output generated for display via the user device in response to a search query; retrieving information related to the at least one selected output; generating a summary of the at least one selected output based on the retrieved information related to the at least one selected output; and displaying, via a graphical user interface, the summary of the at least one selected output simultaneously with a conversation platform, wherein the conversation platform is configured to enable a conversation between a conversational assistant and a user of the user device relating to the at least one selected output.
