Application: Systems and methods for providing in-flight communication sessions (Patent ID: US20240127291A1)

The patent filed by ViaSat Inc. describes methods, systems, and devices for providing in-flight communication sessions by offering passengers rewards from brand partners in exchange for completing brand interactions. The system retrieves brand interaction history data, determines a scarcity factor based on the number of passengers and duration of the travel segment, selects reward offers based on the history data, displays these offers to passengers, and establishes communication sessions once the brand interaction is completed. The offers are tailored to passenger profiles and past travel segments, and metrics from brand interactions are used to inform the selection of rewards.

The apparatus for providing communication sessions within a transport vessel includes components such as a brand interaction controller, communication session delivery system, reward offer evaluator, and communication interface. These components work together to retrieve brand interaction history data, determine scarcity factors, select reward offers, display them to passengers, and establish communication sessions based on completed brand interactions. The system also allows for the exclusion of certain offers based on history data, customization based on passenger profiles, and the transmission of metrics to brand partners for offer selection. Additionally, the system can display metrics related to the scarcity factor to passengers.
