Technical field
The present invention is normally at made the addressing string that is used for communicating by different communications applications.
Background technology
At present, the user of the most of communications applications such as phone, Email (email) or internet site need in communications applications of presumptive address string input in case with have a mind to the recipient and set up communicating by letter of expectation.For example, the user of an e-mail applications must be with address of the form of a predetermined e-mail address such as johndoe@_address.com input so that send first email message to the recipient.
Address is ganged up and often is assumed to be is to have the sequence composition that alphanumeric or other people and/or machine can be distinguished character.This type of address sequence can be any length or component type usually, but their precision architecture normally is scheduled to by the ISP of this communications applications.For example under the situation of phone, employed address string is a telephone number, and its length and Serial No. often are provided with by the telephone service supplier.And under the situation of an internet site, the website that visits an expectation is normally used by an Internet user in a predetermined consistency resource location, location (URL).
Use some address string such as telephone number is so that communicate by letter with the foundation of another one position by a communication medium, and this area has been known.But scientific and technological progress recently (especially in computer network and the field of telecommunications) has caused the introducing of a lot of new and/or multi-form communications.For example, be among this type of previous unavailable option by communication, World Wide Web website or other communications applications such as fax of using Email to a call.
Yet the quantitative increase of communication mode has caused the quantity of the relevant address string of the communication of this kind form with each and the increase of type two aspects.In addition, be used to realize that the basic technology of this type of diversified communications applications needs the user to import an address string usually, this address string most is unique so that operation and draw expectation interests from this communications applications concerning that technology.Even the communications applications of different-format same type, for example two different E-mail service suppliers e-mail applications often needs to use different address strings.For example, a people with email account of two or more E-mail service suppliers is single recipient's entity, but he will have two or more relevant e-mail addresses with the form of an e-mail address of each ISP usually.
Each user of each communications applications distributes a problem in the existing method of address string to be: produce a plurality of addresses string for single recipient.For example, attempting and having Email, the recipient John Doe of a supposition of World Wide Web website and phone sets up when communicating by letter, end user must be often known and correctly remember with each this type of use each relevant address string in case use the sort of should be used for setting up with John Doe communicate by letter. this user so will have to correctly import: for example, johndoe@_address.com is so that send an Email to Doe, and the usually tediously long URL string that again be difficult to remember of input such as http://www.address.com/johndoe is so that the website of visit Doe and importing in telephone number to a telephone system so that set up telephone communication with Doe.
Require an end user to know and remember that correctly these addresses that separate string is used the prior art institute that domain name is used as station address and further worsens.A domain name such as www.uspto.gov is such address string, and it is designed usually to comprise that human recognizable character and/or numeral are so that help user's searching and/or remember this correct address string.In case be input in the communications applications, system's name server (DNS) is converted to a standard digital Internet agreement (IP) address to this domain name, such as, the 255.100.1.0 that internal network uses.
Yet, realize it not being immaculate as the domain name of address string.Along with the past of time, domain name has little by little developed into length, and this makes and more is difficult to remember them.In addition, lack a standard here usually, any spelling will be accustomed to even they are with what language to occur about adhering in domain name constitutes.Because domain name usually is registered as legal identification, such standard lacks to convert to and has to register a domain name so that comprise employed various language and/or the variation of the spelling in every kind of language in a lot of modes.
In addition, because for practical purpose, have the word of a relatively limited quantity to can be used to create a domain name, computer squat (cybersquatting) rules invade in the legal technicality such as trade mark arguement and illegal domain name are hoarded carry out.
DNS also the processing of mistake or such as those by misspelling or wrong caused such as restricted aspect the variation in the input domain name of in the address, inserting hyphen of replacement with a underscore.These mistakes or variation usually make DNS not discern and/or analyze this address string mistakenly, cause the destination connection failure of user to having a mind in the system based on DNS.In addition, the system based on DNS is restricted to interconnected network address mostly and does not handle the problem of a plurality of addresses that are used for other communications applications such as Email and telephone number.
Up-to-date trial in handling several addresses string problem well is that figure is around unified address string by using the unified message system such as the Onebox.com message transfer service of the swap server of Microsoft and MCI.Yet these trials owing to many reasons, lack the problem that solves a plurality of addressing strings of each user.At first, the information system method is curled up the message transmission by facsimile machine, voice voice mail or the like., this does not consider that a received pronunciation calling as in the telephone system directly calls and be connected of people.Next, information system is mainly used in a telephone service operation such as facsimile machine, voice mail or the like and does not still handle a plurality of addressing string problems of other application such as Email and URL.
Therefore, the objective of the invention is to handle the defective of abandoning of the prior art.

The further illustration of Fig. 1 .4 the feature of the present invention described in Fig. 1 .3 business card example.More particularly, Fig. 1 .4 has illustrated and has only used system's input string to be imported into to be used in four kinds of different input equipments four different users that get in touch John Doe to operate 126-129.In 126 examples, the telephone number (being 18005551234IPN here) that user operation is to use Doe to provide is used for a request being connected with John Doe phone as an input string.＂ IPN ＂ suffix can be used as three additional numerals 4,7 and 6 and is transfused to, and it corresponds respectively to ＂ I ＂, ＂ P ＂ and ＂ N ＂ on the standard telephone keypad.In 127 examples, user operation is to utilize the request of WWW position that be used to visit Doe of WWW of the present invention address string as an input string.In 128 examples, user operation is to use e-mail address string that Doe provides to be used for a request with the E-mail communication of John Doe as an input string.In 129 examples, similarly user's operation is to utilize the request of passing through expection within the scope of the present invention other communications applications of suitable access method as an input string of each communications applications, such as, fax, file transfer protocol (FTP) or the like.
Now from Fig. 3 .0, the more detailed running of revealing one embodiment of the invention.Fig. 3 .0 has illustrated embodiments of the invention, and simple in order to illustrate, it is used in a telephone system or the World Wide Web environment.
Shown in Fig. 3 .0, a user selects whether will get in touch John Doe by phone or World Wide Web.When selecting telephone system 320, this user is input to input string in the telephone device 321 with the form of telephone number.For illustration running of the present invention better, use from the sample input string 18005551234IPN in the John Doe business card everywhere in the detailed description of the invention book part relevant with Fig. 3 .0.The user imports initial number by selecting the correct number on the telephone dial pad simply.＂ IPN ＂ suffix can be used as three additional numerals 4,7 and 6 and is transfused to, and it corresponds respectively to ＂ I ＂, ＂ P ＂ and ＂ N ＂ on the standard telephone keypad.Additional ＂ 476 ＂ numerals do not influence original string, because according to telephone device 321, telephone network 323 or be used for the telephone system agreement that realizes on another instrument of this purpose, they will be abandoned as unnecessary numeral subsequently.Operative norm phone connection protocol here is the phone of John Doe so that user's linking objective telephone device 325 then.
When selecting computer system 302, this user is input to the input string of telephone number form in the suitable input position of the client software of supporting the expectation communications applications, such as the consistency resource localizer input cartridge of a WWW communications applications.
Current, though some prior art communications applications of the Internet can be discerned an input string of telephone number form, they are restricted to the input string of specific character registration form: each in the title changes needs a new registration.For example, be registered as one of 1-800-flowers website of selling flower and will be considered to different with 1800flowers, user's mistake enters this website and is just attempting to visit simultaneously this website and may cause the user to connect it and wish the target failure.Thereby the realization of the present invention by an IPNS logic 322 comes in variation and the mistake in considering input string that the Internet that an input string of telephone number form converts a kind of appropriate identification to is addressed pattern of the input handles this problem.The details of IPNS logic software 322 will further be discussed together with Fig. 2 .0 below.
As described in Fig. 3 .0, IPNS logic 322 can be positioned at user terminal with a kind of form of client software 316 of the IPNS of support logic 322, perhaps it can be implemented as for example system database server level 311 in the terminal of server, perhaps the two hold concurrently can, as described in 317 flow processs.System database server is a name server (DNS) or a similar system normally.The operation of a territory DNS or a similar system is well known to those skilled in the art.
In aspect of this embodiment, user's address string is imported in the client software 316 supporting IPNS logic 322.The address string that is transfused to is converted to a kind of the Internet addressing pattern of the input of appropriate identification then by the client computer IPNS logic 322 at client terminal place.The input of having changed is sent to a suitable system database server 319 or 311 by the Internet then, shown in path 318 or 317.Server 319 or 311 will shine upon this input string conversely and return to client software 316 to an Internet agreement (IP) address of the object-computer of following existing protocol or the network equipment 307 and this IP address.Client software 316 will utilize this IP address that the user is directed to the object-computer or the network equipment 307 that should have a mind to that expectation WWW position is provided then, here be the website of John Doe.
This embodiment on the other hand in, user's address string is imported in the prior art software 308 not supporting IPNS logic 322.Existing client software 308 will be followed existing internetwork address resolution protocol then and this address string will be transmitted to a suitable system database server 311 supporting IPNS logic 322.The address that is transfused to string is converted to the Internet addressing pattern of the input of an appropriate identification then by the IPNS logic 322 at server place, be mapped to then on an Internet agreement (IP) address of the object-computer of following existing protocol or the network equipment 307.This IP address is returned to client software 316 then.Client software 316 will utilize this IP address that the user is directed to the object-computer or the network equipment 307 that should have a mind to that expectation WWW position is provided then, here be the website of John Doe.
More specifically, will reveal the running of IPNS logic 322 in more detail now referring to Fig. 2 .0.In a flow chart, Fig. 2 .0 illustration the processing sequence in IPNS logical block 322.
In level 200, the address string of user's input is imported in the IPNS logical block 322.For illustration running of the present invention better, use sample input string 1800JKL1234.IPN everywhere in the detailed description of the invention book part relevant with Fig. 2.
In level 203, domain name that part of deleted of name server mandate described in the address string.Like this, the IPNS sequence in the Input Address string partly is identified and separates from the remainder of Input Address string.For example, under the situation of 1800JKL1234.IPN input string, ＂ IPN ＂ is deleted, stay can discern and separable IPNS sequence 1800JKL1234 as a result of.
In level 204, be translated into the value of a system (group) or system manager's (group) definition in the value of each character of IPNS sequence inside.In one exemplary embodiment, change these values according to the following form based on a telephone dial structure basically:
0 is translated into one 0
1 is translated into one 1
2abcABC is translated into one 2
3defDEF is translated into one 3
4ghiGHI is translated into one 4
5jklJKL is translated into one 5
6mnoMNO is translated into one 6
7pqrsPQRS is translated into one 7
8tuvTUV is translated into one 8
9wxyzWXYZ is translated into one 9
All other characters that are not included in this conversion table such as hyphen and underline only are left in the basket.For example, IPNS sequence 1800JKL1234 will be translated into 1,800,555,123 4.
An advantage of the aforementioned feature of the present invention is: the variation such as replace a hyphen with the insertion of a underline and wrongly screenedly in conversion process go out.For example, the 1-800-JKL_1234 that the user has imported, it will still be translated into 18005551234 correct sequences.Therefore at one usually in the system of prior art based on DNS to the mistake sensitivity, this type of changes and wrongly will can not cause the DNS nonrecognition and/or analyze the address mistakenly and go here and there and cause the user to be connected the failure of expecting the destination.
In level 205, the order of the character of representing in the IPNS sequence that is converted, field or both combinations is resequenced is from right to left a new structure.For example, the IPNS sequence 18005551234 that is converted will be rearranged for 43215550081.
In level 206, the IPNS sequence that this rearranges according to a changeable data excitation zoned format by segmentation.For insertion point (i.e ＂ ＂) in the middle of the field in sequence, then this zoned format is used to determine the Field Count in this arrangement, and the length of the character altogether of each field.A kind of example of zoned format is the 4-3-4 form, and wherein, the IPNS sequence number at first is segmented into four numerals of one group of rightmost from right to left, ensuing three of these nearest four back then.Between each segmentation group, insert a point then.For example, the 43215550081 IPNS sequences that rearrange under the 4-3-4 form will be segmented into 4321.555.0081.This segmentation also is that the data of excitation and the identification digital absolute identifier such as country code or local area sign indicating number is so that under the situation of an input IPNS sequence that different-format arranged (for example follow foreign phone number format), a different zoned format can be used.In one exemplary embodiment, this different zoned format is changeable so that can carry out when expecting or needing formaing the adjustment of setting.In addition, different zoned formats are stored in a database that is used for by the reproduction of IPNS processor.
In level 207, what went here and there the address is appended on the segmentation IPNS sequence that rearranges now again in the deletable part in level 203 places (describing the domain name of name server mandate).The result rebuilds input string to become a kind of form that is fit to the current communication technology and addressing system.For example, 4321.555.0081 is resorted to 4321.555.0081.ipn.
After the level 207, allow name server to handle the string 209 of breathing out according to DNS Protocol, just look like it be that an initial DNS inquiry is the same.If do not have aliasing information to be found for this word string, so name server will to the DNS resolver send new word string is provided data as the standard original domain name of being inquired about, except any resolution data that belong to new dns address.At different levels with the specific order that should be pointed out that aforementioned operation just means exemplary and uses these one or more arbitrary process of revealing that branch produces a word string consistent with the desired format of the string 209 of breathing out is within the scope of the present invention by expection.
Fig. 3 .2 has illustrated the another embodiment of the present invention that is used in Email (email) environment.Just as described, client software 366 and 358 be connected to internetwork address resolution system such as the system database server 319 or 311 that uses IPNS logic 322 so that obtain Internet agreement (IP) address of target email server 355.Target email server 355 uses address that IPNS Email logics 356 received and handled email message so that this address is decomposed into the e-mail address of a standard, by path 371 this email message is transmitted to the recipient then.
To more go through the embodiment of Fig. 3 .2 explanation now.For illustration running of the present invention better, use sample input string 1800JKL13.234.IPN everywhere in the detailed description of the invention book part relevant with Fig. 2 .1.
From level 348, based on validity new or existing software or selection, the input string of telephone number form is imported the new client software 366 or the appropriate location of existing client software 358, and these two is all supported the E-mail communication application and has connected a client computer e-mail server 350.For example, the user is input to address string ＂ 1-800-555-1234.ipn ＂ or ＂ 18005551234.ipn ＂ (＂ Send to: ＂) operate in the e-mail program box on the computer that is connected to the Internet.Current, the prior art email protocol is not identified as an effectively input to an input string of telephone number form usually, because there is not ＂ @_ ＂ symbol in this word string.The present invention is by realizing one or more this problems of handling in IPNS converter logic 351, IPNS logic 322 and the IPNS Email logic 356.The IPNS logic 322 that is used for the E-mail communication application is identical with the World Wide Web embodiment that illustrates together with Fig. 3 .0 disclosed IPNS logic in Fig. 2 .0.The details of IPNS email logic software 356 will further be discussed together with Fig. 2 .1 below.
In the exemplary embodiment that illustrates in Fig. 3 .2 and the path 365 of back, IPNS logic 322 is arranged in client software 366 and an input string of telephone number form is directly changed into the Internet addressing pattern of the input of an appropriate identification.Because the requirement of existing email agreement, the Input Address that is converted must comprise a ＂ @_ ＂ symbol and at least one character or client software usually and will not accept this input so that start address resolving usually.IPNS transducer logic 351 comes the output of IPNS logic 322 is converted to the internet email addressing pattern of the input of an appropriate identification so that client software start address dissection process by enclosing a ＂ @_ ＂ symbol and at least one character then., different with prior art systems, in the string of address of the present invention, include only ＂ @_ ＂ symbol and the character followed so as according to existing email protocol to the outward appearance of an effective address of telephone address string so that can the start address dissection process.An advantage of aforementioned feature is: the user no longer needs to import an e-mail address of ＂ @_ ＂ symbol.
New client software 366 will send to client computer e-mail server 350 to the input of conversion then.Because some client software are used user's Input Address string accepting not have ＂ @_ ＂ symbol and the client computer e-mail server 350 that they are forwarded to them is used for address resolution,, client computer e-mail server 350 output of IPNS logic 322 is converted to the internet email addressing pattern of the input of an appropriate identification by enclosing a ＂ @_ ＂ symbol and at least one character so also can comprising an IPNS transducer logic 351.Client computer e-mail server 350 will send to a suitable system database server 319 or 311 to input by the Internet then, shown in path 368 or 369.System database server is a name server (DNS) or a similar system normally, and its operation is well known to those skilled in the art.Dns server 319 or 311 will be mapped to input string conversely and follow existing protocol and E-mail service is provided and the IP address is returned to an Internet agreement (IP) address of the e-mail server of client software 366 to recipient (here for John Doe).Client computer e-mail server 350 will utilize this IP address to come Email grouping and user's address gone here and there to be transmitted to together to belong to that destination, IP address that a target email server 355 of E-mail service is provided to the recipient usually then.
Fig. 3 .2 embodiment on the other hand in, user's address string is imported in the existing client software 358 not supporting IPNS logic 322.Because the requirement of existing email agreement, the address of user's input must comprise a ＂ @_ ＂ symbol and at least one character or client software usually and will not accept this input so that start address resolving usually., different with prior art systems, in the string of address of the present invention, include only ＂ @_ ＂ symbol and the character followed so as according to existing email protocol to the outward appearance of an effective address of telephone address string so that can the start address dissection process.Therefore the user needn't know any concrete pre-seting before character string is added in ＂ @_ ＂ symbol, now usually arbitrarily the random character input will be enough.For example, the sample input string 18005551234.IPN in the business card of John Doe will be transfused to following form:
＜character (group)〉@_18005551234.IPN (arbitrary character (s)〉@_18005551234.IPN) arbitrarily.
Existing client software 358 will be followed existing internetwork address resolution protocol then and the address string will be transmitted to client computer e-mail server 350, and it will be transmitted to a suitable system database server 319 supporting IPNS logic 322 to it conversely.Certain one-level place before entering IPNS logic 322, ＂ ＂ symbol and all characters the preceding are separated from the domain name part (here being the IPNS sequence) of following the existing email agreement usually.For example, under the situation of at random character (group)〉@_18005551234.IPN (arbitrary character (s)〉@_18005551234.IPN), have only IPNS sequence 18005551234.IPN to be left.The IPNS sequence is converted to the Internet addressing pattern of the input of an appropriate identification then by IPNS logic 322 at the server place, be mapped to then to follow existing protocol and provide to recipient (here for John Doe) on an Internet agreement (IP) address of e-mail server of E-mail service.This IP address will be returned to client computer e-mail server 350, and it will utilize this IP address to come Email grouping and user's address gone here and there to be transmitted to together to belong to that destination, IP address that a target email server 355 of E-mail service is provided to the recipient usually then.
At target email server 355 places, IPNS Email logic 356 is given recipient's a standard electronic addresses of items of mail intentionally the string mapping of user's address.This target email server 355 is transmitted to the recipient that this is had a mind to this email message then.
Fig. 2 .1 further illustrates the handling process in the IPNS Email logic 356.In level 213, import the email message that data 210 are considered to comprise an effective address form into, and be uploaded in the IPNS Email logic 356.Effective address form can be a kind of phone number format such as 18005551234.IPN or a kind of form of the use tradition ＂ @_ ＂ symbol such as＜random character (group)〉@_18005551234.IPN (arbitrary character (s)〉@_18005551234.IPN).Like this, IPNS Email logic 356 can be shone upon the client software 366 of making a fresh start or the address of prior art client software 358.
In level 214, the mapping of e-mail address 214 of a standard is gone here and there so that determine to forward the message to that e-mail address on it in the address of carrying out the user by e-mail server.For example the 18005551234.ipn address of user input string or＜random character (group)〉@_18005551234.IPN (arbitrary character (s)〉@_18005551234.IPN) is mapped to J-Doe@_someisp.com, at this J-Doe@_someisp.com is an operation email account, receives his Email that imports at this John Doe.
In level 215, email message is transferred to this standard electronic addresses of items of mail that is obtained.
In one exemplary embodiment, target email server 355 comprises a database, and this database comprises a tabulation and their the corresponding standard e-mail addresses that imports e-mail address into.Be used for importing the Email that e-mail address is mapped to respective standard into by IPNS Email logic 356 these databases of inquiry in level 214 then.If obtain the e-mail address of a standard, then flow process proceeds to level 215, at this, by e-mail server according to DNS, SMTP, POP and/or relevant standard or agreement (if) start the process of this e-mail forward being given this standard electronic addresses of items of mail.If do not find the e-mail address of a standard, then target email server 355 is according to other relevant inappropriate addresses of e-mail server on DNS, SMTP, POP and/or relevant standard or agreement (if any) informing network.
Therefore as disclosed in the above, an IPNS address such as 1-800-555-1234.ipn can be used for carrying out a call, a webpage of visit and sends an Email.
In a kind of exemplary embodiment of the present invention, at least one territory in the domain name system basically (preferably 100%) be dedicated to the IPNS address service.Special-purpose domain name system also is organized so that guarantee that the IPNS address part can be used for directly carrying out actual standard by phone with a side intentionally and communicates by letter; Be used for and have a mind to the relevant web page access of recipient; And be used for having a mind to the recipient and send an email message to this.This tissue signature also comprise user's electronics or traditional publication and this internal system can allow to address string the administrative manual and the operation parameter that might sort.The permission addressing string that user and administrative manual will be disclosed in phone number format in this specific field constitutes.
This specific field is also fully improved so that discern and handle and may comprise additional human-readable qualifier in interior IPSN address, such as telephone number expansion designator or the house mark composition in the interior assigned position of addressing string., be that the people of expansion 321 or this telephone number or the webpage of department carry out a communication or ask a webpage to that number place in the tissue of subscribing system of the present invention or enterprise for example with guiding by form input expansion ＂ 321 ＂ with 1-234-567-8900x321.ipn.The another one example is: 1-234567-8900*Roger.IPN.This address string will communicate or ask for webpage or Email to phone being assigned to this expansion place that the ＂ Roger ＂ of that number place (receiving) that managed in this internal system distributes or concrete people or department's Email or webpage.
This addressing string can also be expanded by the arbitrarily effective trade mark that the holder held that increases this telephone number, and this telephone number reflects by the string similar to telephone number.For example, the effective address that can discern of this system can be: 1-800-5551234.McDonalds.ipn or McDonalds.1-800-555-1234.ipn.
Can also come the extended addressing string by before or after the word string of the similar telephone number of one of following type, comprising a blank character subdomain.
