Abstract

An online reservation processing system comprises a receiving module and a translating module. The receiving module receives a reservation application datum, which comprises an initial time and a final time. In addition, the translating module separates a period from the initial time to the final time into a plurality of sub-periods, and separates the reservation application datum into a plurality of reservation application sub-data according to the sub-periods. The time-length of each sub-period equals a default time-length. An online reservation processing method applied with the online reservation processing system is also provided.

Claims

1. An online reservation processing system, comprising:

a receiving module for receiving a reservation application datum, which comprises an initial time and a final time; and

a translating module for separating a period from the initial time to the final time into a plurality of sub-periods, and separating the reservation application datum into a plurality of reservation application sub-data according to the sub-periods, wherein a time-length of each of the sub-periods equals a default time-length.

2. The online reservation processing system according to claim 1, wherein application times represented by the reservation application sub-data do not overlap with one another.

3. The online reservation processing system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a database for storing a plurality of reservation records each comprising an initial time record and a final time record.

4. The online reservation processing system according to claim 3, further comprising:

a recording module for adding a reservation record to the database, wherein the added reservation record comprises the reservation application datum.

5. The online reservation processing system according to claim 4, further comprising:

a reservation judging module for judging whether or not the reservation application datum overlaps with each of the reservation records, wherein when the reservation application datum does not overlap with each of the reservation records, the recording module adds a reservation record to the database, and the added reservation record comprises the reservation application datum.

6. The online reservation processing system according to claim 3, further comprising:

an outputting module for outputting the reservation application datum and at least one of the reservation records.

7. The online reservation processing system according to claim 3, further comprising:

a canceling module for selecting one of the reservation records from the database and marking a reservation-canceling flag in the reservation record according to the reservation application datum.

8. An online reservation processing method, comprising the steps of:

receiving a reservation application datum, which comprises an initial time and a final time; and

separating a period from the initial time to the final time into a plurality of sub-periods, and separating the reservation application datum into a plurality of reservation application sub-data according to the sub-periods, wherein a time length of each of the sub-periods equals a default time-length.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein application times represented by the reservation application sub-data do not overlap with one another.

10. The method according to claim 8, further comprising the step of:

storing a plurality of reservation records into a database, wherein each of the reservation records comprises an initial time record and a final time record.

11. The method according to claim 10, further comprising the step of:

adding a reservation record, which comprises the reservation application datum, to the database.

12. The method according to claim 11, further comprising the step of:

judging whether or not the reservation application datum overlaps with each of the reservation records; and

adding a reservation record to the database when the reservation application datum does not overlap with each of the reservation records, wherein the added reservation record comprises the reservation application datum.

13. The method according to claim 10, further comprising the step of:

outputting the reservation application datum and at least one of the reservation records.

14. The method according to claim 10, further comprising the step of:

selecting one of the reservation records from the database according to the reservation application datum and marking a reservation-canceling flag in the reservation record.
