Room inventory management

摘要

According to an example, a method for room inventory management may include generating inventory records for rooms for a predetermined time period. An inventory record may include an inventory record index representing a physical property of an associated room, and an inventory record attribute representing a modifiable attribute of the associated room. The method may further include generating keys to identify one or more of the inventory records based on attributes associated with the keys. A key may include a key index that matches the inventory record index for one or more of the inventory records. The method may also include receiving selections of the keys from the generated keys, and generating, by a processor, virtual room pools by grouping the selected keys for each of the selections and the inventory records identified by the selected keys for each of the selections.

1. A room inventory management system comprising:
an inventory record hardware module to generate a plurality of inventory records for a plurality of rooms for a predetermined time period, wherein each of the plurality of inventory records includes an inventory record index representing a physical property of an associated room, and an inventory record attribute representing a modifiable attribute of the associated room; a key generation hardware module to generate a plurality of keys to identify at least one of the plurality of inventory records based on key attributes associated with the plurality of keys, wherein each of the plurality of keys includes a key index that matches the inventory record index for at least one of the plurality of inventory records; a virtual room pool generation hardware module to
receive a plurality of selections of a plurality of the keys from the generated keys, wherein the plurality of the selected keys for at least one of the plurality of selections is less than a total number of the generated keys, andgenerate a plurality of virtual room pools by grouping the plurality of the selected keys for each of the plurality of selections and the inventory records identified by the plurality of the selected keys for each of the plurality of selections; and a query response hardware module to
receive a search request related to at least one of the plurality of rooms, wherein the search request includes a search criterion associated with a key attribute of the key attributes associated with at least one of the plurality of the selected keys for at least one of the plurality of selections,use the search criterion and the key attribute of the key attributes associated with the at least one of the plurality of the selected keys to identify at least one of the inventory records from at least one of the plurality of virtual room pools, andoutput the at least one identified inventory record in response to the search request, wherein the virtual room pool generation hardware module is to modify at least one of the plurality of virtual room pools by:
receiving a modified selection of the plurality of the keys from the generated keys, wherein the plurality of the selected keys based on the modified selection is less than the total number of the generated keys; andgenerating a modified virtual room pool by grouping the plurality of the selected keys based on the modified selection and the inventory records identified by the plurality of the selected keys based on the modified selection.
