Scheme of WTL-based instant booking system on mobile network

With the rapid rise of mobile E-business, real time booking service by cell phone is facing great chances and challenges. General method of using J2ME or MFC to develop mobile software can't meet the fast and real time requirements of mobile booking service. In this paper, we propose a new WTL-based method to realize instant booking function by cell phone on mobile network. On the basis of the server of the railway ticketing system, we realize the real time mobile booking system on windows mobile platform. Experiment results show that when booking train tickets by this system, average network access time is only 1.894s, and average query time is only 4.157s. It is testified that this method can greatly shorten the booking query time and other relevant time factors when comparing with traditional method of J2ME or MFC.
