Abstract

The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for filtering queued booking and air waybills in a centralized system. Various embodiments of the invention may reserve bookings from multiple sources and generate air waybills associated with the bookings. The bookings and air waybills may be aggregated in a centralized system and filtered according to several attributes. The integration of a centralized system may allow filtered bookings may be worked on by a user of any facility at any time. As a result, workloads may be distributed between several facilities, thus providing an efficient means for managing bookings and air waybills in a timely manner.

Claims (35)

1 . A method, comprising:

receiving, by a computing system, at least one booking request from a call center, where the at least one booking request comprises one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the call center;

receiving, by the computing system, at least one booking request from a flight control center, where the at least one booking request comprises one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the flight control center;

filtering, by the computing system, the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center in response to a selection of at least one of the one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the call center and the one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the flight control center; and

generating, by the computing system, an output based on the filtering of the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising filtering, by the computing system, the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center based on a filter priority.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing, by the computing system, a user an authoritative privilege to operate the computing system.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the computing system, an action on a queued booking.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising providing, by the computing system, a message to the user that the action on the queued booking is confirmed or rejected.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising aggregating, by the computing system, the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising storing, by the computing system, the aggregated booking requests from the call center and the flight control center into a database.

8 . An apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform the steps of:

receiving, by a computing system, at least one booking request from a call center, where the at least one booking request comprises one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the call center;

receiving, by the computing system, at least one booking request from a flight control center, where the at least one booking request comprises one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the flight control center;

filtering, by the computing system, the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center in response to a selection of at least one of the one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the call center and the one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the flight control center; and

generating, by the computing system, an output based on the filtering of the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , in which the processor is further configured to perform the step of filtering, by the computing system, the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center based on a filter priority.

10 . The apparatus of claim 8 , in which the processor is further configured to perform the step of providing, by the computing system, a user an authoritative privilege to operate the computing system.

11 . The apparatus of claim 8 , in which the processor is further configured to perform the step of receiving, by the computing system, an action on a queued booking.

12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , in which the processor is further configured to perform the step of, providing, by the computing system, a message to the user that the action on the queued booking is confirmed or rejected.

13 . The apparatus of claim 8 , in which the processor is further configured to perform the step of aggregating, by the computing system, the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one hooking request from the flight control center.

14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , in which the processor is further configured to perform the step of storing, by the computing system, the aggregated booking requests from the call center and the flight control center into a database.

15 . A computer program product, comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor of a computing system cause the processor to:

receive, by a computing system, at least one booking request from a call center, where the at least one booking request comprises one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the call center;

receive, by the computing system, at least one booking request from a flight control center, where the at least one booking request comprises one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the flight control center;

filter, by the computing system, the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center in response to a selection of at least one of the one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the call center and the one or more attributes related to the at least one booking request from the flight control center; and

generate, by the computing system, an output based on the filtering of the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center.

16 . The computer program product of claim 15 , in which the instructions further cause the processor to filter, by the computing system, the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center based on a filter priority.

17 . The computer program product of claim 15 , in which the instructions further cause the processor to receive, by the computing system, an action on a queued booking.

18 . The computer program product of claim 17 , in which the instructions further cause the processor to provide, by the computing system, a message to the user that the action on the queued booking is confirmed or rejected.

19 . The computer program product of claim 15 , in which the instructions further cause the processor to aggregate, by the computing system, the at least one booking request from the call center and the at least one booking request from the flight control center.

20 . The computer program product of claim 19 , in which the instructions further cause the processor to store, by the computing system, the aggregated booking requests from the call center and the flight control center into a database.
