发明名称 Systems and methods for itinerary messaging service
摘要 Messages are targeted to travelers based on travel itineraries. Targeting may also be based on real-time travel status information. The targeted messages communicate their purpose and priority to respective travelers within the context of the travel itineraries. A disclosed method includes accessing a travel itinerary database including a plurality of travel itineraries. Each travel itinerary is associated with a traveler and defines itinerary segments of a corresponding travel schedule. A message is associated with a set of targeting rules used to identify a subset of itineraries in the travel itinerary database. The targeting rules may be used with real-time travel status information to identify the subset of itineraries.

主权项 1. A method for causing a computer system to target messages to travelers or other users who request display of travel itineraries or flight status, the method comprising: accessing a travel itinerary database comprising a plurality of travel itineraries, each travel itinerary associated with one or more travelers and defining a plurality of itinerary segments, and corresponding connections between the plurality of itinerary segments, of a corresponding travel schedule; receiving a request to associate a message, to be delivered through an itinerary messaging system, to a dynamically changing subset of itineraries of the plurality of travel itineraries based on an associated set of targeting rules, wherein the received request includes the message, the associated targeting rules, and a message category, and wherein the request, when received, is not associated with the plurality of travel itineraries or the one or more travelers; identifying, continuously during a time interval specified in the set of targeting rules, the dynamically changing subset of itineraries based on a comparison of the set of targeting rules with both of: the plurality of itineraries in the travel itinerary database; andchanges in real-time travel status information of the plurality of itinerary segments and the corresponding connections; associating the message with a priority level based on the message category; and associating the message, during the time interval, with the dynamically changing subset of itineraries, wherein a display of a selected itinerary in the dynamically changing subset provides an indication of availability of the message, and wherein the indication of availability is based on at least one of the message category and the priority level.
