Incorporating Traveler Feedback in Future Trip Planning
First Claim
1. A method of selectively incorporating traveler feedback into a trip planning database, the method, implemented by an information handling system, comprising:
- retrieving a planned trip segment corresponding to a user;
receiving a plurality of actual trip segment data items, wherein the actual trip segment data items correspond to the planned trip segment;
validating that the planned trip segment was traveled by comparing the retrieved planning trip segment with the received plurality of actual trip segment data items;
updating the trip planning database with a feedback received from the user regarding the planned trip segment in response to a successful validation; and
preventing the updating of the trip planning database using the user'"'"'s feedback in response to an unsuccessful validation.

Abstract
An approach is provided to selectively incorporate traveler feedback into a trip planning database. In the approach, a planned trip segment is retrieved with the planned trip segment including a planned start time, a planned start location, a planned mode of transportation, a planned destination location, and a predicted end time. Subsequently, actual trip segment data items are received. A validation routine checks whether the planned trip segment was actually traveled by comparing the retrieved planning trip segment with the actual trip segment data items. If the trip is successfully validated, then the trip planning database is updated using feedback received from the user. However, if validation was unsuccessful, then the trip planning database not updated with the user'"'"'s travel feedback.

8. An information handling system comprising:
-
one or more processors; a memory coupled to at least one of the processors; a nonvolatile storage area accessible by at least one of the processors; and a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors to selectively incorporate traveler feedback into a trip planning database, wherein the set of instructions perform actions of; retrieving a planned trip segment corresponding to a user; receiving a plurality of actual trip segment data items, wherein the actual trip segment data items correspond to the planned trip segment; validating that the planned trip segment was traveled by comparing the retrieved planning trip segment with the received plurality of actual trip segment data items; updating the trip planning database with a feedback received from the user regarding the planned trip segment in response to a successful validation; and preventing the updating of the trip planning database using the user'"'"'s feedback in response to an unsuccessful validation. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer program product stored in a computer readable medium, comprising computer instructions that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to selectively incorporating traveler feedback into a trip planning database by performing actions comprising:
-
retrieving a planned trip segment corresponding to a user; receiving a plurality of actual trip segment data items, wherein the actual trip segment data items correspond to the planned trip segment; validating that the planned trip segment was traveled by comparing the retrieved planning trip segment with the received plurality of actual trip segment data items; updating the trip planning database with a feedback received from the user regarding the planned trip segment in response to a successful validation; and preventing the updating of the trip planning database using the user'"'"'s feedback in response to an unsuccessful validation. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
