Cinema Booking system

System Introduction: (Class names in bold)
The system covers all cinemas in a country, but depending upon needs, it can integrate cinemas of other countries as well. Cinemas have one or more rooms, and each room contains a set of seats. A room can be built and integrated in the system through a room Designer interface. People should use the system to find particular movie-sessions by various search criteria li e country, area, city, time, cinema, and movie title, movie category and so on. !hen entering the web-page the system automatically sets the search conditions to the local area. !hen the user has entered search criteria he or she will be presented with a list of session-lin s that fulfill the criteria or an empty list and a message if no session fulfills the criteria. Clic ing a session gives a graphical presentation of the room of the session, at which seats can be selected"deselected, a total pri#e displayed and a boo ing-commit button. A booking number is displayed at the screen. The user can then bring along this boo ing number and have the tic ets printed later and somewhere else. Also, this boo ing number is essential if the user should have his"her money bac due to sessioncancellation, disease or other problems. $f a user does not pay until some time, specified by the local cinema, before the session begins, the reservation will automatically be cancelled and the corresponding set of seats can become available for other users. !hen one hour of the movie has passed boo ing or buying a tic et for that particular session is no longer possible, but the session information is ept for some time to handle any costumer-re%uests or -complaints. &pon payment, printing the corresponding tic ets is possible at any computer connected to the internet and a printer, or at any cinema covered by the system. $t is the user's responsibility to ta e care of the tic ets because a given tic et, representing a seat, can only be printed once. The system provides functionality for a cinema manager to schedule future movies at his"her own cinema, i.e., entering sessions into the database, as well as changing the scheduling and correcting errors in scheduling. Also there is an administrator interface that ta es care of maintaining the system, i.e., updates the list of cinemas that are covered by the system as well as system monitoring. Thus, the system is basically divided into three ma(or parts, 1- &sers) *+earching, ,oo ing, Paying.- +ystem administrator *person who monitors the target system/- Cinema manager *person who uses the system for their cinema$f some cinema wants to be part of the system, someone responsible for running the cinema must contact the administrator. The system administrator will grant permission to the cinema administrator so scheduling of movies at the particular cinema can be performed.

System definition
People can use this system to search movies and cinemas in any area specified by the user. Cinemas consists of rooms and seats. &sers of the system can search for cinemas or movies. They should be able to narrow down the search to any area and time interval. Booking, payment and printing tic ets is possible from any computer on-line. The central class is the session class that have information about time, movie, cinema, room, time, seats and bookings. Cinema managers can schedule, reschedule and correct movie session scheduling. +ession information is collected in timetable-ob(ects for ma ing searching more efficient.

Problem Domain overview

The target system should provide facilities for clients and cinema cler s to search for vacant seats at particular movie-sessions using various criteria li e city, cinema, movie title, movie category etc.. !hen users have identified a particular session, the session screen is displayed, at which, depending on the color of the seat-symbols, it is possible to choose a number of seats to boo or reserve. A reservation can either be followed directly by payment or a reservation number can be brought to another computer and used as login or to the cinema and in both cases payment can be made and tic ets printed. $f a cinema burns down or for any other reason a session is cancelled, it is announced on the web page. $t is crucial that users eep his"her reservation number if, for any reason, money for bought tic ets should be refunded. Thus, sessions are ept in some session storage for some time to ma e it possible to trac any relevant information in any cases of complaint.

Applikation domain overview

The system should sustain all tas s necessary for any costumer to ma e the cinema e5perience nice and easy. !hether a cinema wants to have cler s employed at the cinema, is a matter of choice of the cinema owner. This system is supposed to wor in a way that all necessary tas s can be done solely by the user. The whole spectrum from searching a movie and location to having bought and printed a set of tic ets is managed by the system and controlled by the user. Cancellation and handling of erratic scenarios or use-cases is covered by eeping past session information stored for some limited time.

/ The system contains all movies that any cinema manager has bothered to enter into the system. +o, if an old or new movie has not been entered and a cinema manager wants to schedule the movie at his"her cinema in the near future, he or she has to enter it 0 with all re%uired fields. This is done throug

Use Cases:
Searc!#ovie
A potential costumer will search for a movie, cinema or other criteria) Continent, Country, region, city, city area, cinema, movie, time period. !hen a user enters the site, the first thing happening is the appearance of a form with listbo5es. To limit the content of low-hierarchi listbo5es, these are not shown before the search has been narrowed down to a limited area such as a city or area in low-populated areas. 7istbo5es with all possible choices of cinemas and movies in the chosen area and time period will appear.

$ookin%
The potential costumer clic s a session from the list that results from the search. A screen representation of a room with seats appears. +eats already boo ed and payed for will be red, boo ed but not paied seats are yellow, whereas vacants are green. The costumer can now select and deselect green seats and press the boo button to commit a boo ing. 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. !hen committing a boo ing, a message about possible rescheduling are announced at the site and that money can be refunded using proper identification.

Payment
!hen a boo ing has been committed, the user is presented with a choice of paying immediately or later. $f immediately is chosen the user is presented with a standard procedure from PayPal or other third-party Payment-service.

>

icketPrint
!hen Payment for a set of seats has been performed either outside or at the cinema, the individual tic ets can be printed. This is done by the user identifying him"her self with either a stripe-code printed at home or elsewhere 0 which can be interpreted by a machine at cinema, or identification through the card used for payment. $f payment is performed at the cinema, identification is not necessary.

Session"ditin%
Cinema managers schedule movie sessions through an interface. +essions can be entered into and deleted from the system. +essions can also be edited. All this is done through the cinema manager interface. $f, for some reason a movie-session must be cancelled or rescheduled, this is straight forward while there are no boo ings for the session 0 it becomes a more comple5 tas if boo ings have already been made for the session. Then announcements must be made on the site. ,ecause users are anonymous, they cannot be notified directly. ?owever, users of the system are made aware of this ris when ma ing a boo ing.

Cinema"ditin%
Cinema managers can be allowed to register their cinema with the system, at which point the rooms should be built and become available to the system. The use case is best described as a 9how to: use the cinema manager's room designer. 2ew rooms can be built, new seats added and so on. These tas s are performed through the cinema manager interface.
