The present specification provides, amongst other things, a computing network computing optimization and method that can select and generate a digital redirect token for association with content that includes a proposed travel schema with an affiliation with the content.

Computing network system and method

A method includes receiving, at an intermediation server, from a requesting device, a request for one or more items provided by a provider system; generating, at the intermediation server, an intermediate reply comprising data indicative of the one or more items provided by the provider system; determining, at the intermediation server, whether the request is eligible for direct distribution; in response to determining that the request is eligible for direct distribution, generating, at the intermediation server, an adjusted reply by: communicating with a hosted offer management system to receive instructions for adjusting the intermediate reply, the hosted offer management system providing hosted provider object services for the provider system; and adjusting, at the intermediation server, the intermediate reply based on the instructions; and providing, from the intermediation server, to the requesting device, the adjusted reply in response to the request.

System and method for load mitigation in request handling

To differentially respond to data requests, a request handling server stores (i) a predefined set of response definitions, each response definition having a distinct assigned virtual requester identifier, and (ii) for each virtual requester identifier, a selection criterion. The server receives a data request associated with one of a plurality of requesters, and includes (i) request parameters and (ii) a requester attribute set. The data request may be a request for travel product offers formatted according to the New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard. The server compares the requester attribute set with the selection criteria; based on the comparison, assigns a selected one of the virtual requester identifiers to the data request; retrieves an active one of the response definitions corresponding to the selected virtual requester identifier; obtains response data according to the request parameters and the active response definition; and transmits, in response to the data request, the response data.

System, method and apparatus for responding differentially to data requests

A method includes receiving, at an intermediation server; from a requesting device; a request for one or more items provided by a provider system; generating, at the intermediation server, an intermediate reply comprising data indicative of the one or more items provided by the provider system; determining, at the intermediation server, whether the request is eligible for direct distribution; in response to determining that the request is eligible for direct distribution, generating, at the intermediation server, an adjusted reply by: communicating with a hosted offer management system to receive instructions for adjusting the intermediate reply, the hosted offer management system providing hosted provider object services for the provider system; and adjusting, at the intermediation server, the intermediate reply based on the instructions; and providing; from the intermediation server, to the requesting device, the adjusted reply in response to the request.

An automated system and a method for checking an already issued airline ticket prior to having a requester submitting a change request of the already issued airline ticket are described. The system comprises a ticket data retriever unit for retrieving, with a ticket reference provided by the requester, the already issued airline ticket from a ticket database. Then, an issued fare rule finder element retrieves, from a rule database, one or more rule scenarios applying to the already issued airline ticket and governing what changes are permitted. After which a decision module element combines the one or more rule scenarios into a set of permitted options and restrictions and deliver them to the requester. Hence, the requester knows all about the permitted options and restrictions prior to actually requesting to change the already issued airline ticket.

Airline ticket change constrainer

A ticket change constrainer which allows reissuing or revalidating an already issued airline ticket includes a ticket change domain reducer operable to reduce an input search domain of change opportunities on the basis of change conditions set in the already issued ticket. It also includes a ticket change valuer operable to weigh the change opportunities of the reduced search domain and to return a reduced valued search domain of change opportunities. The weighing of the change opportunities is done on the basis of pricing method popularity scores updated in a ticket change memory by a ticket change watcher agent from actual change transactions handled by the system. The change conditions include standard pricing methods of the airline industry. The input search domain of change opportunities is produced by a conventional fare-driven search engine on the basis of a ticket change request issued by an end-user of the system.
