Distributed cloud services system and uses thereof
View Patent ↗Provided herein is a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising software configured to enable instructions to create of a multidimensional value model for an event, such as, a travel event. When executed information related to events from all sources is stored and categorized according to the source, value dimension and value description of the event are established and used to create an initial multidimensional value model. If the event is a travel event, the initial model is updated according to user-selected travel events and a recommendation for travel made to the user based on the updated model. Also provided is a distributed cloud computer system that integrates cloud computing with a Distributed Internet Services system and cloud computing methods, particularly, for improving user experience during e-commerce transactions. A non-transitory storage medium tangibly stores processor-executable instructions to execute the methods.
1. A user-implemented method for travel planning in real time on an electronic device having at least a processor, a memory and a screen that is connected to a central cloud server through a network connection, comprising the steps of:
a) user-inputting into the electronic device an input comprising one or more travel events for a selected travel region of interest; and
b) processing the input in real time, comprising
i) distributing to an application or components of said application configured to process the input stored on the central cloud server over a Distributed Internet Services system;
ii) deploying the distributed application or components of said application; and
iii) executing the deployed application or components of said application to process the input to a best travel recommendation;
c) creating an initial multidimensional value model comprising:
iv) receiving information related to the one or more travel events of interest;
v) storing and categorizing the one or more travel events and information related thereto in a raw information library; and
vi) establishing a value dimension and value description for the travel events; and
vii) creating an initial multidimensional value model for the one or more travel events from the value dimension and the value description;
d) updating the initial multidimensional value model for the user by iterating step c) and modifying the value dimension and value description of the travel event in the initial multidimensional value model to arrive at a modified multidimensional value model; and
e) outputting to the electronic device in real time the best travel recommendation to the region of interest based on the travel event inputted by the user and the modified multidimensional value model updated for the user.
2. The user-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
inputting one or more additional or revised travel events; and
repeating steps b) to e) via the distributed cloud computer system.
3. The user-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the initial multidimensional value model comprises weighted values for each item of information comprising the travel event.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input comprises buying a ticket or planning a trip.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of establishing a value dimension and value description for the travel event comprises:
analyzing each item of information based on a pre-defined dictionary to establish an initial set of value dimensions of the travel event;
converting the value description into a numerical value via a pre-defined text-value matching table; and
adding a weight for each item of information to the value description and the value dimension via a pre-defined weight-value table.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the step of adding a weight for each item of information to the value description and the value dimension comprises multiplying the weight with the numerical value for each item of information.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising prior to step d):
adding the user-inputted travel event and related information to the raw information library, if not found in the initial multidimensional model.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
user-inputting an additional travel event; and
reiterating steps d) to e).
