GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR HOTEL SEARCH SYSTEMS

摘要

Using a graphical user interface for identifying and presenting travel search results includes a system to receive a user request for information for a particular hotel for a particular date range from a graphical user interface on a user device. The system determines a collection of candidate alternative hotels for the particular date range. The system ranks the candidate alternative hotels based on the actual prices and the historical average prices of the hotels. The system generates a hotel place page for the particular hotel, presents the hotel place page for the particular hotel in a first region of the graphical user interface. The system generates a summary window for each of the candidate alternative hotels and presents the summary window for each of the candidate alternative hotels in a second region of the graphical user interface.
