Dynamic Protocol Adaptation Mechanism and Standardization Path for Cross-Border Hotel Direct-Connect Interfaces

Abstract

The rapid development of the cross-border hotel reservation market has highlighted the significance of direct-connect interface technology as a crucial means to enhance reservation efficiency and user experience. However, protocol compatibility poses a significant challenge to this technology. This study focuses on the standardization of direct-connect technology and proposes an innovative dynamic protocol adaptation mechanism to address the compatibility issues arising from protocol differences among various hotel systems. By conducting an in-depth analysis of the limitations of existing direct-connect interface technologies, this paper constructs a theoretical framework for the dynamic protocol adaptation mechanism and designs and implements the key technical modules of this mechanism, including protocol parsing and conversion, dynamic adaptation strategies, and data exchange and validation. Additionally, this study explores the standardization path based on the dynamic protocol adaptation mechanism and proposes specific plans for protocol specification formulation, interface standard unification, and the integration of security and privacy protection standards.

Through a case study of Zhang Chao’s successful application of the dynamic protocol adaptation mechanism in a hotel-led supplier direct-connect project, this paper verifies the effectiveness of the mechanism in solving protocol compatibility issues and improving operational efficiency. The research findings indicate that the dynamic protocol adaptation mechanism not only significantly enhances the compatibility and stability of cross-border hotel direct-connect interfaces but also provides strong support for the standardization development of the industry. This study offers new insights and methods for the technological development of the cross-border hotel reservation industry and holds important theoretical and practical significance.
