Overview of target system:
This section gives an overview of fully functioning cinema booking system. End users of target system are divided mainly into
1- Web user
2- Cinema clerks
Web user are those who can make booking from their homes or from anywhere with internet access. On the other hand clerks are personal standing at cinema and by using the same system they can make booking and paying for those who wish to watch movie. By using target system a web user can search for cinemas and movies all around the country and are able to make booking wherever she wants. After the booking is done, user still has option to cancel that booking. If user doesn’t pay for a booking until an hour before the movie starts, booking will automatically be cancelled and the same seat is available for other users. Once the movie has started and fifteen minutes are passed then user is no more able to book or buy a ticket for that particular session. If user has booked a seat then she can take print of booking and buy ticket at cinema. Otherwise if she has already paid for it then she just needs a print of final payment as evidence.
Current target system has two types of administrators
1- System administrator (person who monitors the target system)
2- Cinema administrator (person who uses target system for their cinema)
If some cinema wants to be part of target system then someone who is responsible for running the cinema must contact the organization who is taking care of the target system. Then system administrator will grant some administrative permission to the cinema administrator so that they can put schedules and movies on the target system according to their needs later on which will be available for user.
System definition:
A system that can be used by customers to book or buy tickets, but also for cinema clerks to offer the same services to costumers locally at the cinema. Using this online system users can search for either cinemas or movies or the two combined as well. The system contains a plan including the plan of all cinemas, rooms, seats and at what time a given movie is shown in a given room. The plan contains information on all cinemas one month ahead. A movie disappears from the system 15 minutes before the movie has begun. Users can book, buy or later on cancel tickets. After paying for a ticktet it is not possible to refund it. System administrator can grant permissions to cinema administrator who later on enter and update the information about their cinema.
Search
A potential costumer will search for a movie, cinema or other attribute of movie session. Attributes are: Continent, Country, region, city, cityarea, cinema, movie, time period. The first thing happening is the appearance of a form with listboxes. To limit the content of the low-hierarchi listboxes, listboxes from continent and until city are prefilled due to automatic detection of accesspoint. Listboxes with all possible choices of cinemas and movies in the chosen area and time period will appear.
Booking
The potential costumer clicks a session from the list. A screen representation of a room with seats and screen appears. Seats already booked and payed for will be red, only booked will be yellow and free are green. The costumer can now choose some green seats and book them. The costumer can also appear half an hour before the beginning of a session and hope that some of the yellow seats have not been payed for.
