System and method for displaying airline seats
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for interactively providing air travel seating information to an end user over a network, the method comprising:
- receiving over the network from a general purpose computer first data representing payment information; and
transmitting second data to an application running on the general purpose computer, the second data including information descriptive of available individual seats on one or more airplanes, the second data capable of causing the application to generate a graphical user interface on the general purpose computer that comprises an interactive seating map representing individual seats on the one or more airplanes, the second data capable of causing the application to generate an additional display of information about one or more of the individual seats in response to the end user placing a mouse indicator over a portion of the interactive seating map.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for displaying airline seats. The system or method transmits data to an application running on a general purpose computer, the data including information descriptive of available individual seats on one or more airplanes, the data processed by the application to generate a graphical user interface on the general purpose computer that comprises an interactive seating map representing individual seats on the one or more airplanes, the data processed by the application to generate an additional display of information about one or more of the individual seats in response to a user interaction with the graphical user interface, the interaction being triggered when placing a mouse over a portion of the graphical user interface.

8. A system for providing air travel seating information to a plurality of end users over a network, the system comprising:
-
a data storage system storing a plurality of entries denoting a plurality of available individual seats on one or more flights; and a server programmed via executable instructions to; query the data storage system for information descriptive of available individual seats on the one or more flights; and transmit data to an application running on a general purpose computer, the data including the information descriptive of available individual seats on one or more flights, the data adapted to be processed by the application to generate a graphical user interface on the general purpose computer that comprises an interactive seating map representing individual seats on the one or more flights, the data adapted to be processed by the application to generate an additional display of information about one or more of the individual seats in response to a user interaction with the graphical user interface, the interaction being triggered when placing a mouse indicator over a portion of the interactive seating map. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
