Private Tour Auto-Grouping With Entity Notifications and Refund Logic
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tourism services lack the ability to efficiently organize private tours and activities for groups of people who do not know each other, resulting in high costs and limited market reach due to a lack of personalization and intimacy.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented process that organizes groups of customers for private tours or activities by receiving requests, identifying entities to notify, determining participation thresholds, and automating the booking process while ensuring refunds if necessary, using machine learning and communication networks to connect various entities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If private tours and activities are organized for groups of people who do not know each other, then market reach and accessibility are improved, but organization complexity and coordination difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables customers to autonomously create tour groups by simply requesting a premium tour, and the system automatically handles all organization tasks including notifying entities, determining participation thresholds, scheduling, and refund processing. This self-service approach expands market reach while managing organization complexity through automation.
Solution Approach 2:
Manual tour organization processes are replaced with an automated computer-implemented system that uses algorithms to notify entities, determine thresholds, schedule tours, and process refunds. This substitution of mechanical manual processes with automated digital systems enables broader market reach while reducing organization complexity.
2Productivity
If automated processes are used to organize tours, then efficiency and productivity are improved, but system complexity and technical requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The automated system is divided into distinct functional modules: request reception, entity notification, participation threshold determination, timer management, scheduling, and refund processing. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks independently, improving overall efficiency while managing system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where entities are notified of their status in the tour creation process, and the system automatically adjusts based on participation levels and timing conditions. This feedback-driven automation improves efficiency while keeping system complexity manageable through clear decision logic.
3Reliability
If participation thresholds are strictly enforced, then tour quality and exclusivity are improved, but flexibility and adaptability to changing conditions decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the participation threshold determination based on timing conditions and entity responses. The automated process monitors progress and can adapt the threshold requirements based on how close the tour is to scheduled date, allowing flexibility while maintaining tour quality through data-driven decisions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes participation threshold parameters dynamically based on the tour creation timeline and entity response patterns. By adjusting these parameters in real-time, the system maintains tour quality standards while adapting to changing participation conditions, balancing reliability with flexibility.
4Quantity of substance
If multiple entities are notified in the creation process, then market coverage and participant base are improved, but communication overhead and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-identifying which entities to notify and preparing notification messages in advance. This preliminary organization of the notification process allows the system to efficiently reach a larger participant base while minimizing actual processing time during the critical tour creation period.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification process operates continuously as entities respond or fail to respond, with the system automatically progressing through the enrollment process. This continuous automated action expands the participant base efficiently while managing processing time through parallel operations and immediate responses.

AI summary
A Process for Auto Organizing Private Tourism Tours and Activities for two or more groups of people, that do not necessarily know themselves, but are willing to join themselves receiving benefits (either tangible and/or intangible) from it. It also makes part of this process the organization of resellers, resellers establishments, resellers staff and their customers (generically called Entities) in a way that they contribute for the successful Auto Organizing of the same Private Tours and Activities also receiving benefits from it.
