摘要： An unspecified-time airline ticket representing a purchased seat on a flight to be selected later, by the airlines, for a traveler-specified itinerary (e.g., NY to LA on March 3rd) is disclosed. Various methods and systems for matching an unspecified-time ticket with a flight are also disclosed. An exemplary method includes: (1) making available an unspecified-time ticket; (2) examining a plurality of flights which would fulfill the terms of the unspecified-time ticket to determine which flight to select; and (3) providing notification of the selected flight prior to departure. The disclosed embodiments provide travelers with reduced airfare in return for flight-time flexibility and, in turn, permits airlines to fill seats that would have otherwise gone unbooked. Because of the flexibilities required of the unspecified-time traveler, unspecified-time tickets are likely to attract leisure travelers unwilling to purchase tickets at the available published fares and, at the same time, are likely to “fence out” business travelers unwilling to risk losing a full day at either end of their trip. Moreover, the flexibilities required of the unspecified-time traveler need not be limited to a departure time; the flexibilities may also include the airline, the departing airport, the destination airport, or any other restriction that increases the flexibility afforded the airline in placing the traveler aboard a flight. The disclosed embodiments thus permit airlines to fill otherwise empty seats in a manner that stimulates latent and unfulfilled leisure travel demand while leaving their underlying fare structures intact.
摘要翻译：披露了一个未指定时间的机票，代表航空公司稍后选择的旅客指定行程（例如3月3日的纽约州洛杉矶）的航班上购买的座位。还公开了用于将未指定时间票与飞行相匹配的各种方法和系统。一种示例性方法包括：（1）提供未指定的时间票; （2）检查将满足未指定时间票据条款的多个航班，以确定要选择的航班; （3）在出发前提供所选航班的通知。所公开的实施例为旅客提供降低的机票费用以换取飞行时间的灵活性，并且反过来允许航空公司填补否则将未预订的座位。由于未指定时间旅客所需的灵活性，未指定时间的门票可能会吸引不愿意以可用的公开票价购买机票的休闲旅客，同时也可能会“遏制”不愿冒险的商务旅客在他们旅行的任何一端都要失去一整天。此外，未指定时间旅行者所需的灵活性不限于出发时间; 灵活性还可能包括航空公司，离港机场，目的地机场或增加航空公司将旅客放在航班上的灵活性的任何其他限制。因此，所公开的实施例允许航空公司填充空座位，以刺激潜在和未实现的休闲旅行需求，同时保持其基础票价结构完好无损。

摘要： In an embodiment, a data processing method comprises receiving and storing one or more original graphic image files; for each particular original graphic image file among the graphic image files: determining a first aspect ratio of the particular original graphic image file; determining whether the first aspect ratio is wider, taller, or identical to a specified second aspect ratio associated with one or more target image files; creating and storing the one or more target image files each having the second aspect ratio, by re-sampling the particular original graphic image file to match a first dimension of the one or more target image files, and selectively cropping one or more portions of the particular original graphic image file to form the one or more target image files having the second aspect ratio; wherein the method is performed using one or more computing devices.
