1 130 via communication link 160. Both the travel computer 120 and CRS
2 130 have access to a travel database 140. (Jones, ¶ [0033].)
3 05. Jones describes an exemplary process in FIG. 2a. “First, the travel
4 system 114 receives travel parameters from the user of the user computer
5 100 via the presentation program 108 (step 200). FIG. 2b shows an
6 example initial screen displayed by the presentation program 108 to the
7 user. Using this screen, the user may enter destination information such
8 as an address, city, state, and time of appointment. After receiving the
9 parameters, travel system 114 invokes the air transportation subsystem
10 116 to select flights or flights and prices (step 210). Travel system 114
11 then determines whether an overnight stay is necessary by determining
12 whether the departure and return dates are the same (step 220). If
13 different, the hotel subsystem 118 is invoked to select a hotel (step 230).
14 The travel system 114 then determines whether it has received an
15 indication from the presentation program of whether the user wants
16 activity and restaurant information (step 235). If the user requests
17 activity and restaurant information, the travel system 114 invokes the
18 activity and restaurant subsystem 122 to find restaurants and activities in
19 the vicinity of the selected hotel or the destination site (step 240). After
20 invoking the activity and restaurant subsystem 122 (step 240), or if the
21 user does not want activity and restaurant information (step 235), travel
22 system 114 invokes the ground transportation subsystem 124, which
23 allows the user to select ground transportation such as cars (step 250).
24 Finally, travel system 114 invokes the reservation confirmation system
