Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006083173A1] A server computer apparatus (100) or method for use in connection with a data network (200) for providing a calendar-like user interface on a client computer (300) connected to a data network (200). A specification of a desired product or service, for example, a flight, and a period, indicated by using a first calendar unit, for example, a month, is received from the client computer. Information pertaining to those of the products or services, for example, all the flights, that correspond to the specification and are available in the specified period is selectively retrieved from a database, along with the respective availabilities and lowest prices of each such product or service. On the basis of the information, the calendar-like user interface is produced with a field for each value of a second calendar unit, for example a day, on which the specified product or service is available and in each such field a display of the respective lowest price. Thus, the calendar can, for example, show for each day in a period of one month all the days on which a flight to the specified destination is available and respective lowest prices.
