Flight Ticket Search System with Concurrent Travel Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience due to lengthy wait times and complex search processes when seeking flight ticket information, which often leads to abandoning search services, as they need to separately search for travel-related information like places to visit.
Innovation Solution
A method and computer program that provides travel-related information, such as information on places to visit, alongside flight ticket information by collecting and transmitting this data before initiating the flight ticket search, using a server and user terminal system, thus minimizing wait times and simplifying the search process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the server searches for flight ticket information from multiple travel agencies, then the user can find suitable flight tickets, but the user has to wait for a considerable amount of time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting information on places to visit and preparing travel-related data before the user completes their flight ticket search. This allows the system to have travel information ready to present simultaneously with flight ticket results, reducing the user's perceived wait time while maintaining comprehensive flight search capabilities
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system collects and processes large amounts of flight ticket data from multiple travel agencies, then the user can access comprehensive flight options, but the search process becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the flight ticket search function with travel information provision into a single integrated service. By combining these previously separate functions, the system presents both flight tickets and travel-related information through one unified interface, simplifying the overall search process while maintaining access to comprehensive flight data from multiple travel agencies
3Ease of operation
If the user searches for flight ticket information separately from travel information, then the search process is simple, but the user needs to perform multiple separate searches
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges previously separate search operations into a single integrated search. Users now input flight search criteria once and receive both flight ticket results and related travel information (such as places to visit) simultaneously, eliminating the need for multiple separate searches while maintaining operational simplicity

AI summary
A method for providing information related to a flight ticket search, and a user terminal, a server, and a computer program, which are related to the search method. The method for providing information by a server while searching for a flight ticket includes receiving flight schedule information of a user transmitted from a user terminal; collecting information on places to visit using the flight schedule information; transmitting the collected information on the places to visit to the user terminal and making the user terminal provide the user with a travel information providing screen including the information on the places to visit together with at least a part of the flight schedule information before the server searches for the flight ticket information that corresponds to the flight schedule information and transmits the searched flight ticket information to the user terminal; and transmitting the searched flight ticket information to the user terminal.
