MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631079496 A) filed by Arvind Kumar Sharma on June 28, 2026, for A Computer-Implemented System And Method For Multi-Modal Travel Reservation Using Dynamic Pricing, Reserve-Backed Advance Reservations, Deterministic Reservation Processing, And Configurable Booking Workflows.
Inventor includes Arvind Kumar Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for processing reservations across multiple travel service categories through a unified computational architecture. The system is configured to receive reservation requests from one or more electronic interfaces, validate reservation information, determine reservation eligibility using configurable computational rules, generate reservation pricing through an internally executed dynamic pricing engine, and automatically select one or more reservation workflows. The reservation workflows include immediate reservation, deferred payment reservation, advance reservation, reserve-backed reservation, membership reservation, subscription reservation, promotional reservation, corporate reservation, and additional configurable reservation models. A Reserve Management Module manages financial reserves associated with future reservation obligations, while a Deterministic Reservation Processing Module performs reservation fulfilment according to predefined computational sequencing rules. Following successful processing, the system generates reservation instruments including transportation tickets, hotel confirmations, booking references, reservation vouchers, electronic travel documents, digital credentials, or equivalent reservation confirmations through integration with external reservation providers. Where reservation fulfilment cannot be completed, the system automatically performs refund determination, wallet management, reserve release, financial settlement, or alternative reservation processing according to predefined computational policies. The invention further provides centralized administrative configuration, security management, audit logging, reporting, and integration with external reservation providers, payment infrastructures, and communication services. The modular architecture enables scalable deployment while supporting airline transportation, railway transportation, bus transportation, hotel accommodation, holiday packages, ancillary travel services, and future reservation-based services through a common computational framework.
