Patent ID: 8798928

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for planning a tour for a group on a travel day, the group comprising one or more travelers, each traveler of the group having a communication device, the method comprising: a. selecting a travel route by a traveler of the group, via program instructions executed by a microprocessor, from a departure point to a destination point, the travel route being selected from one or more travel routes available between the departure point and the destination point; b. transmitting the selected travel route by the traveler of the group simultaneously to at least one other traveler's communication device of the group along with one or more details associated with the travel route over a network, via program instructions executed by the microprocessor, during the course of travel on the travel day, the travelers of the group interactively communicating with each other using their corresponding communication devices on the travel day; c. receiving feedback on the transmitted travel route in real-time, via program instructions executed by the microprocessor, from the at least one other traveler's communication device during the course of travel on the travel day; d. finalizing the travel route for the group, via program instructions executed by the microprocessor, wherein the travel route is finalized after implementing changes to the travel route in real-time based on the received feedback during the course of travel on the travel day; e. transmitting, via program instructions executed by the microprocessor, the finalized travel route to other travelers of the group during the course of travel on the day of travel; and f. receiving, via program instructions executed by the microprocessor, one or more alerts associated with the finalized travel route during the course of travel on the day of travel.
