| 20100010841 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING TRAVEL PRODUCT PRICE REBATES - A computer-implemented system and method are provided for automatically determining rebate eligibility for purchased products. In one example, the purchased products may be travel-rebated products such as booked air travel itineraries. A database stores purchase information associated with purchased products purchased at corresponding purchase prices. A product administration system having a computer software-based product administration application interacts with the database and purchase information of a first purchased product is compared with purchase information of subsequently purchased products. The product administration application interacts with the database to determine if the first purchased a product matches a subsequently purchased product based on a set of matching criteria. The first purchased product may be eligible for a rebate if the product administration application determines that the subsequently purchased product was purchased at a lower purchase price than the purchase price for the first purchased product. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20090292745 | DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A database management system and method is provided. In one example, the database management system may include a first type of source database, a second type of source database, a target database, and a replication system operable to replicate at least one of structure and data from either the first source database or the second source database to the target database. In another example, the source database may include a first table having a first configuration and a second table having a second configuration, and a first data record in the first table and a second data record in the second table. The replication system may include a data replication component adapted to identify both the first and second data records from the first and second tables having different configurations and replicate the first and second data records to the target database. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090292740 | DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A database management system and method are provided. In one example, the database management system may include a source database, a target database, and a replication system operable to identify a difference in structure between the source database and the target database and change the structure of the target database to correspond to the structure of the source database. In such an example, the structure of the target database may be alternatively changed manually. In another example, the source database may include structure and data, and the replication system may be operable to replicate at least one of the structure and the data to the target database without storing the at least one of the structure and the data in an intervening database as the at least one of the structure and the data is transmitted from the source database to the target database. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090287701 | System and Method for Receiving and Displaying User Inputted Travel-Related Messages - A computer-implemented system and method that provides travel-related information to communication devices through a communication network. Travel-related messages are transmitted by users such as travelers at communication devices and are received at a travel update system. The travel-related messages received are stored for display by various selected travel-related categories. The travel-related messages are posted for display such that the messages are accessible to travelers operating the communication devices. The travel update system may be web-based with the travel-related messages displayed by travel category on a website. The travel-related messages may be inputted and accessed in near real time by various computer-based communication devices. | 11-19-2009 |
