Technical field

The present invention relates generally to the professional orientation in the communication network.More particularly, the present invention relates to be used to respond inquiry is directed to communication service assigned address, communication service is directed to assigned address and response provide one or more appropriate locations to the general inquiry of position or service system and method when initial position can not arrive.

Background technology

The Internet is the global network by the interconnective individual computers of name server (DNS).In this global network, each individual computers is assigned with the unique identifier that is called Internet Protocol address or IP address.The IP address of each computing machine in this network is stored among one or more DNS.The inquiry of response Searching I P address offers other computing machine by DNS with the IP address.The IP address of object computer is offered requesting computer makes requesting computer to get in touch with object computer.

Typically, the computer user does not know that they want the real ip address of the computing machine of getting in touch.On the contrary, they know that they want the title of describing with human language of the webpage of getting in touch or e-mail address.Therefore, they can not be directly connected to interested computing machine, come correct IP address to be provided and to be connected with object computer to them but must depend on internet infrastructure.Under normal conditions, the user imports interested concrete website in the explorer address field on its personal computer with URL(uniform resource locator) (Uniform Resource Locator, URL, for example, http://www.paxfire.com) form.Browser on the subscriber computer sends to DNS with this request and (typically is his Internet service provider (Internet Service Provider, ISP) all and/or the DNS that manages) converting this URL to the IP address, and find the IP address of this URL.DNS converts this URL request to the IP Address requests then, and judges whether it knows where this IP address is positioned at go the Internet.If DNS knows this information, then this information is offered user browser and carry out the connection of two intercomputers.If DNS does not know this information, then make the request that provides about the information of the IP address of being asked to root DNS (Root DNS).If root DNS knows the IP address of being asked, then this address is offered this DNS, thereby and this DNS offers the requestor with this address can connect.If root DNS does not know the IP address of being asked, then root DNS will keep the address of dns server of the tabulation of all IP addresses (for example, comprise .com .gov .biz, all addresses of .net etc.) relevant with the IP address of being asked to offer this DNS.These DNS are called as registration (or top or one-level) DNS.DNS and one or more registration DNS get in touch to ask this IP address then, if there is the IP address of being asked, then register the IP address that DNS returns the DNS that knows the IP address of being asked.If the IP address of being asked does not exist, then registering DNS, to notify this DNS to ask not resolved, and this DNS transmits reuse family browser with this information.If there is the IP address asked, then this DNS with know that the DNS of the IP address of being asked gets in touch, and ask this IP address.The 2nd DNS transfers to a DNS with this IP address, and it is delivered to user browser with this IP address, and connects between these two computing machines.

Under the not resolved situation in the IP address of being asked, user browser typically shows certain error message that is used for to this problem of user notification.Usually, browser also automatically is directed to the user and the irrelevant webpage of the webpage of wanting, or is directed to the webpage that comprises various advertisements, and these webpages may be relevant with the object of user's initial searches or be had nothing to do.

Although the detail that depends on the telephony, instant messaging technology (IM), IP-based voice technology (VoIP) and other technology that transmit information in the Internet in some aspects may be different, all use general " up-and-down (up and down) " communication identical in the middle of the server in the internet basic arrangement be connected with identification telephone number, user's name, address etc. and between requestor and the target, maybe when searching transmission error message when failing.

Usually, Internet user, telephone callers, IM client etc. do not know webpage, the telephone number etc. accurately that they are just seeking.On the contrary, they only know general theme or the field relevant with their inquiry.Under the situation of Internet search, typically, the user is to Google ^, Yahoo ^And Jeeves ^Deng the website of internet search engine (or use download to search column on their web browser) from search engine, and the string of input hot speech, keyword or hot speech or the keyword relevant with their inquiry.In response to the search of hot speech, search engine is with reference to its webpage relevant with each hot speech and the high-speed cache of unit's sign (metatag), and, typically, returning one or more URL, the requestor can select optimal webpage according to its purpose.In response to keyword search, search engine is with reference to its first identification list, and returns single webpage.When hot speech or keyword and unit's sign of being stored did not all match, search engine will return certain error message or expression does not have the website to comprise the message of information cited in this request.

As used herein, hot speech is the speech as the object of inquiry, and this inquiry causes returning the search of the one or more URLs relevant with this inquiry.For example, hot speech can be " automobile ", and this Search Results will be the list of websites of automaker, automobile dealerships shop, Auto repair shop and automobile fan club etc.The search of hot speech is representative in the Internet traffic field, and is counted as the typical query of being submitted to when the user uses search engine usually at the information search the Internet of topics of interest usually.Internet search comprises one or more hot speech.On the contrary, as used herein, keyword is the word or expression of object as inquiry, and returns particular webpage (rather than resembling in the hot speech search to a series of links of potential related web page) for this inquiry.Therefore, keyword search produces the mapping of word to domain name and IP address or another name domain name.For example, hot speech can be " automobile ", and the result will be the connection of requestor's computing machine to the Ford Motor Company website.

The beam search business is useful processing general and commonly used on network.For example, typically, Microsoft Internet Explorer ^Etc. popular web browser with the webpage inquiry of misspelling and wrong input with owing to other not resolved inquiry of other reason is redirected to MSN ^Search etc. are selected and specified web or search page by the fabricator of this web browser and this web browser.These search pages typically provide possibility correct search inquiry, various search option and advertisement to the user.Typically, the e-mail address of mistake input is not redirected, and only returns " can't send to ".Current essence in the employed redirected notion of this technical field is: submitting on the individual computers of inquiry, catching the business of input error or misspelling in (being used for the URL request) arbitrary browser level.These methods typically lack the ability that plays a role in name server/service (DNS) rank, and therefore having limited them can provide the comprehensive function and the ability of commerce services.Because they are positioned on each subscriber computer, thereby they can run into all known problems relevant with cookies with plug-in unit resident program (plug-in).

At the whole bag of tricks that is used for route or redirection business known in the art.For example, in No. 6,631,402, U.S. patent, announced the method that is used for routing service.In No. 6,608,893, U.S. patent, No. 5,933,490, U.S. patent, No. 6,205,477, U.S. patent and U.S. announcement patented claim 2004/0042447 A1 number, announced the method that is used for redirected or routing of data traffic.For example, in No. 6,601,208, U.S. patent, announced and be used for the method that routing error is proofreaied and correct.For example, in No. 5,774,660, No. 6,182,139, U.S. patent and U.S. patent, announced the method for routing that is used for balanced load.For example, in No. 5,987,611, U.S. patent, announced the internet service route.For example, in disclosed U.S. patented claim 2004/0030780A1 number, announced the method that is used to handle invalidation request.

Equally, become known for marketing and method that communication service is sold.For example, in disclosed U.S. patented claim 2004/0044566 A1 number this method is disclosed.For example, in disclosed U.S. patented claim 2004/004622A1 number, announced URL (URL(uniform resource locator)) reorientation method.For example, in disclosed U.S. patented claim 2004/0044791 A1 number, announced the DNS resource lookup method.For example, in No. 6,631,402, U.S. patent, announced the method that is used to realize based on network acting server.

Although current spendable these system and methods have many shortcomings, a critical defect of current reorientation method is that they lack the ability of carrying out at the service role of DNS rank work, has therefore limited the function and the performance of these system and methods.And because the rank that current spendable reorientation method moves in internet basic arrangement or the Internet architecture, reduced the ability of these reorientation methods, therefore limited current reorientation method carry out reliable payment processes, ecommerce, ENUM, IP phone, VoIP, filtration, security, URL transmit the ability of business services such as service and limited that current reorientation method carries out that market channel is followed the tracks of, webpage uses, DNS statistics, professional being redirected and the ability of the method that information stores or backup etc. are relevant with tracking.

Therefore, the layer (or rank) that to bring into play function need be not limited to, and reliable commerce services and system and method directed with the business of following the tracks of relevant method or that be redirected can be carried out in the present technique field.Specifically, the method and system that need be used for the communication service orientation, this communication service can be phone, the Internet or other communication service, this method and system allows to carry out invalid inquiry or the general inquiry that is not assigned to specific purposes ground are directed to and can provide the website of relevant information or being redirected of webpage to the individuality of submitting this inquiry to, and this method and system is not positioned on the individual personal computer or does not need the system resource of individual personal computer to realize or keep.

Summary of the invention

The invention provides the system and method that the relevant theme of content is provided to the requestor (comprising hot speech and keyword search as described below) in response to not resolved inquiry.The integrated system of realizing method of the present invention is referred to herein as internet equipment (internetappliance), and, such term should be understood that to relate to system of the present invention, method or this two.In one aspect, the invention provides a kind of internet equipment that unsuitable or incorrect request (that is, not resolved inquiry) is redirected of being used for.The present invention also provides a kind of like this internet equipment, it is used to discern requestor's geographic position and provides geographical relevant content as replying inquiry, this inquiry can be invalid inquiry, to effective inquiry of specific website, (for example can also be about effective inquiry of the general information of object, keyword or hot speech search inquiry can be entered into any one in available many search engines on the Internet).The present invention also provides a kind of internet equipment, and content-related information that will provide to the requestor was provided based on the time of submitting inquiry to for it.Related content can be based on employed search word, and the webpage that provided by the paying advertiser can be provided, the webpage discerned based on unit's sign or this two.

When request is not resolved, as request and participant (participatingpartner, go through below) when topics of interest is relevant, or when both of these case, internet equipment of the present invention can be redirected to this request acting server main frame (below be referred to as " PSP "), PSP analyzes this request, and the relevant Search Results of content is provided rather than sends to requestor's error message from DNS.In a preferred embodiment, this internet equipment is positioned at ISP's rank (that is, at ISP or Session initiation Protocol (Session Initiation Protocol, SIP) rank), rather than user class, therefore can not take the resource on the user personal computer.In addition, by providing this internet equipment, avoided the problem relevant with the plug-in unit resident program with cookies in the ISP rank.And, because the internet equipment of preferred embodiment operates in ISP rank rather than browser level, thereby personal information about user/requestor can not appear on the public network of the Internet.The internet equipment of preferred embodiment also provides dynamically, the information of real-time update, and need not to read any information or any information is write user's personal computer from user's personal computer.

Therefore the invention provides and be used for being undertaken the system and method for business activity by using a computer.This system and method comprises that identification comprises and can not resolve or the inquiry of not resolved information, and these inquiries are redirected to the webpage that comprises relevant information, these webpages can be by providing to the advertiser of payings such as ISP DNS or the DNS of enterprise, operator that their content is included on this redirected webpage.Therefore this system and method comprises the identification general inquiry (promptly, the search of keyword or hot speech) and with these general inquiries be redirected to the webpage that comprises relevant information, these webpages can be by providing to the advertiser of payings such as ISP DNS or the DNS of enterprise, operator that their content is included on this redirected webpage.

Embodiment

The example of these exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings will be elaborated to various exemplary embodiments of the present invention.Below detailed declarative description some embodiment of the present invention, but not will be understood that the present invention is confined to these embodiment.

If the user knows website or web page address accurately, the Internet provides for the quick of concrete website or webpage and effectively directed to the user by its IP address or by its URL so.Most Internet users suitably import the website that they are just searching or the exact address of webpage, therefore are directed to these websites or webpage.Yet the user imports the address that is not identified through regular meeting, thereby the user is directed to wrong webpage or specific search engine page or leaf.As herein and employed in the art, these inquiries that maybe can not resolve invalid, mistake are taken as unwanted, that be not used or not resolved business from internet basic arrangement supplier's position.From the user (promptly, submit the people of this inquiry to) and as herein and employed in the art, receive error message or be directed to comprise easy bugs message or with the faulty page of the irrelevant content of initial query or the inquiry wanted be nonconforming or unwelcome result.Be directed to incorrect order ground and another many popular names of leading to errors message or being directed to the URL address of faulty page be " waste service ".Concerning the DNS that is used to provide the corresponding single ip addresses such as website, webpage and e-mail address that go for the requestor, the incorrect any inquiry of " not resolved " form that is meant.Therefore, according to the present invention, typical not resolved inquiry comprises the URL of mistake input, the e-mail address of mistake input, IM screen title (IM screen name), URL expired or that be not used or e-mail address, hot speech, keyword and the unappropriated telephone number of mistake input, also have a lot, do not enumerate one by one at this.Not resolved inquiry also comprises by DNS or by being positioned at the IP address of the redirected webpage that browser on the subscriber computer or application program generate.

Keyword that available search engine is submitted in the user is provided for inquiry based on the user on the Internet or hot speech discern concrete website fast and effective method.They also provide content relevant advertisement based on keyword or the hot speech that the user submitted to.Unfortunately, unless the particular user of submitting this inquiry in response to from the request of website manually input provide this information specially about the information in user geographic position or by sending of cookie, otherwise search engine response is in the geographic position that this user is not considered in website that this inquiry provides and advertisement.Therefore, for example, in response to the inquiry about art exhibition, the user of Washington D.C. National Capital Area may be directed to other art exhibition special website Anywhere in Tennessee State, Mexico, Japan, India or the world.Equally, in response to inquiry about the practicality of buying certain model automobile, search engine may provide the result who lists main car manufactures and automobile club, wherein neither one can comprise the result (that is the car dealer who sells this interested automobile near the geographic area the requestor) who wants.In addition, search engine is not considered time of inquiring about, and therefore the result with time correlation can not be provided consciously.Because typically to small part based on the access times of each website are carried out classification to the result of search engine, so the big or popular group or the website of tissue are shown as the result of highest ranking usually, and more relevant the possibility of result is placed under these results.

The user usually originally or the most correct URL be input to their browser searches hurdle, perhaps the user is directed to correct URL by search engine or redirected webpage.Because some business website, for example by the flow of the business of the website of main transregional company or mass-market retailer operation, the main frame of these business websites is kept a large amount of servers that spread all over the whole nation and the world usually, and each server all provides the website of the said firm.Connect in order to provide the most fast, if can utilize such server, then the user preferably is connected to geographically apart from their nearest server or is needed the server of minimum connection (that is, minimum " redirect (hop) ") between dns server.Yet, even in search column the correct URL of input, and click the URL that search engine provides, must not mean can connect the user to server nearest on the geography that comprises the webpage of wanting or be connected to the server that needs least hops to forward to reach yet.Therefore, even the user successfully is connected to interested webpage, this connection must not be the fastest yet.

The following scheme that solves the problem relevant that provides of the present invention: the Internet request that analysis user is submitted to the information communication of these types, parsing is including, but not limited to validity, time, the various information in content and/or request source geographic position also are directed to this request (based on geographical or required redirect quantity) nearest apart from the requestor can utilize the webpage of wanting on the server, the webpage that content is relevant, the webpage of the URL that the one or more contents that perhaps provide the user can therefrom select only URL are relevant.The webpage that the user is directed to can be any webpage, including, but not limited to the two combination of search engine, advertising page or this.It can also be to allow " effector " other page or leaf from the redirected benefit of customer service.Such effector can for example be ISP.The present invention is devoted to solve limitation and the difficulty in this technology current state in the redirecting network business field, and these limitations and difficulty are present in that to be used for beam communication professional and produce the system and method that the fund of various application provides.

System and a method according to the invention is adapted at using in the communication system of any computer drives such as Internet system and phone.Similarly, can realize this internet equipment in registration (registry), ISP or other rank of the Internet architecture.This has obviously departed from the technology of current use, and the Technical Board of current use is limited to browser or application program rank.For example, requestor's (can not provide when being in the registration-level of communication service orientation of the present invention aspect) is provided for relevant and content time correlation on the realization of ISP rank internet equipment of the present invention allows geography, and has avoided the using and loading of individual personal computer of the relevant information of a large amount of dissimilar search that may formulate in order to storage and each user.In these embodiments, prevent that also requestor's IP address from transmitting on the public network of the Internet, provide other known Redirectional system in the art the security that can not provide.And in an embodiment, internet equipment of the present invention can and stop the visit to the open port on the computing machine that participates in internet service to provide very high security to the user by monitoring.

Internet equipment according to the present invention allows local computer to carry out other task for the Internet user provides the more experience of robust simultaneously.No matter be or the ISP rank realizes this system and method at registration-level, the resource of user's personal computer all is released (comparing with the system and method that browser that depends on other system or application program rank realize), and does not need to participate in browser is directed to log in page.Although can realize system and method for the present invention, realize that in the ISP rank this system and method has advantage at registration-level.A typical advantage is to carry out geo-location to it based on requestor's IP address, and this IP address is not transferred to registration-level from the ISP rank, therefore, if realize that at registration-level then this IP address is unavailable for this internet equipment.Another typical advantage is relevant with the ability that has the final control of the information of presenting to the user.More particularly, if registration DNS comprises Redirectional system rather than native system, then when judging the user and sent the inquiry that can not resolve, registration DNS will return concrete redirected IP address as being redirected log in page.Yet, if when the ISP rank realizes this internet equipment, this internet equipment can intercept registration redirected IP address that DNS sent, as not resolved query processing, and provides redirected log in page that the redirected log in page that is provided by the registration-level system is provided it.In addition, because native system and method to small part is positioned at the user side (or at least partially in ISPDNS) of ISP in a preferred embodiment, therefore the information about customer location is obtainable for this internet equipment, and can provide content relevant redirected log in page with the out of Memory mixing to respond this not resolved inquiry this information.

Invention described herein provides a kind of method of needs that is redirected inquiry, waste service or other not resolved inquiry of whereabouts unknown in browser level or application program rank of eliminating by the inquiry, waste service or other the not resolved inquiry that are redirected whereabouts unknown in higher levels such as registration-level or ISP ranks.One that transfers in numerous advantages that registration-level or ISP rank provided is to eliminate each company to provide explorer to filter single ip address (promptly to the user, all waste services are routed to single ip address) ability because native system and method can be returned a plurality of IP address from the IP address base on remaining on the machine network.More particularly, in an embodiment, this internet equipment provides a plurality of redirected log in page, and each all has the IP address of oneself, and uses in response to the detection of each malformed queries is carried out cycle assignment to these IP addresses.Therefore, even browser manufacturer wants the employed IP address list of this internet equipment is programmed in the browser, and the indication browser is redirected to different IP addresses from the IP address that native system and method are provided, this IP address list also needs (for example to bring in constant renewal in, when the user logins at every turn), and need each user when each login, to download new file.

Under the present situation, to be redirected by the appointment of browser manufacturer, browser manufacturer typically sends to the website that this manufacturer has with not resolved business.Content is subjected to the restriction of the specified preassigned of browser manufacturer, and therefore is subjected to the restriction based on the type that is installed in the browser on the user personal computer.The invention enables the user to avoid this restriction, and in response to not resolved professional or have the geographical business that the content of relevant or time correlation, allow with content relevant, on geography on information that be correlated with and/or time correlation and/or the geography apart from multiple source nearest connection offer the user.

Internet service is redirected problem in the design be the client with ISP between communicate by letter.Current system and method be the DNS level operations this internet service heavy-route or be redirected to generate relative fixed on the required code transmission manner.For example, typically, utilize Akamai html distribution of content, the user obtains the html document from master server.For example, the user obtains index.html from cnn.com.The URL that replaces the web site contents that duplicates with this html.For example, utilize http://a73.g.akamaitech.net/7/23/cnn.com/af/x/gif to replace http://cnn.com/af/x.gif.At this moment, client is forced through dns resolution a73.g.akamaitech.net host name.This is to be used for the feasible means that are used to optimize the web browser performance that can obtain content from nearest server of reproducting content.Yet various relevant problems can appear in these class methods.For example, only can duplicate static content.Amended title comprises the source document title, thereby must upgrade bibliographic structure when upgrading main web site.Be necessary for the http-server of content requests special use, in this server, the high-speed cache of DNS checked to check whether this server is requested.If be not requested, then must be utilized as the set very long TTL (time tolive, life period) of this result master server is repeatedly called out.This means that private server must keep quite stable.If the title that does not have in this speed buffering is asked, then must get in touch the root server that returns the NS record for akamai.net.The akamai.net name server is that g.akamaitech.net returns the NS record then.Select name server to make it in the zone of client's name server.The G.akamaitech.net name server is selected server in this zone.The effect that DNS uses is that DNS is used for the server selection more and more.Because the TTL problem, the structure of dns server and http server needs quite stable, and is difficult to distinguish that what is rational TTL for this type of service.The Internet user typically wishes to adapt to changing load, but is to use the DNS of current mode, and this is impossible.The included outstanding method of the present invention uses the rule that can dynamically change that is provided with in PLE directly to be redirected the DNS request.To change PLE in real time then, therefore reduce the request load from the DNS system.

Realize according to canonical system of the present invention and method by the professional directed or professional method that is redirected of introducing a kind of uniqueness, in this application, professional directed and professional Xisi of being redirected is identical, wherein, use registration or ISP rank agreement in the mode that can produce the unexistent advantage of current available Redirectional system.Although the present invention in a preferred embodiment can realize at registration-level, but the present invention will be labeled as the redirect instruction software section of Lookup Proxy (" PLP ") or Lookup Engine (" PLE ") or all will be integrated in the isp server machine at this, or as part or whole between ISP and the user, between isp server and the registrar or the acting server that separates between dns server and the user.Although usually be rendered as single hardware and software unit in this present invention, the present invention also can be used as (a plurality of) functional unit and realizes, each functional unit with the identical or different hardware of any other functional unit on realize independently.Setting according to system of the present invention, the business of whereabouts unknown, other inquiry of not resolving or general information inquiry not only can be resolved to make the user satisfied, but also can be by business being directed to predetermined website or webpage or by display ads on the search results pages that offers the user in response to the inquiry of not resolving or keyword or the inquiry of hot speech, convert thereof into the ISP that manages DNS or the profit of other entity.When participant can play a role, can between participant, distribute these profits and/or these profits are stored the online account who is used for from now on and use, therefore, strengthened the whole efficiency of financial transaction system and increased the stability and the security of participant fund.Therefore, the native system enterprising method of doing business and being engaged in that is provided for using a computer in for example the Internet.

System and method of the present invention is realized by means of computing machine and computer program.Native system comprises one or more computing machines, and this computing machine comprises the integrated circuit that is used for process information.Different with high-level other Redirectional system that plays a role in the Internet architecture such as browser level or layers 6 known in the art, system of the present invention can be at the layer of the Internet architecture 2 (promptly, the second layer of osi model) work is used to receive, handle and send the information as the bit data package informatin.In the embodiment that layer 2 is realized, except the inquiry of not resolving is redirected, can also provide many other functions.The present invention has considered all these functions.Irrelevant with the layer of native system and method work, native system and method can realize need not to install under the situation of any new hardware or software to registration or isp server, but this not necessarily, therefore native system and method are modular, highly suitable, and perhaps implement and renewal on the multiserver at one easily and with calculating.In an embodiment, for example in native system and method in the embodiment that layer 2 plays a role, they are faster than the system of current use, allow to carry out pattern match and need not to come and go at each layer of the Internet architecture, (information continues back and forth by ISP DNS can not hinder ISP DNS function under situation about breaking down, it is not just handled by native system), and can resolve non-ascii character-set, this is an advantage for the inquiry of submitting to for example various Asian languages of the language that does not comprise the ASCII collection.In addition, because internet equipment of the present invention can part or wholely provide as software, thereby can realize and safeguard (for example, upgrading) internet equipment of the present invention fast, easily and at an easy rate.In an embodiment, for example in native system and method in the embodiment that layer 3 and 4 plays a role, they can play the effect that user's inquiry is addressed to the dns-proxy server of this system.Native system can replace dns server to handle the DNS inquiry.Similarly, native system can replace the user to communicate by letter with dns server.Aforementioned all services (typing error, keyword, hot speech and location-based search) are all processed in DNS application program rank (layer 4); Therefore, can provide these services at this layer.

In an embodiment, internet equipment of the present invention directly is in the front (that is, between ISP dns server and each computer user) of ISP dns server.In such embodiments, internet equipment of the present invention is carried out but is not to carry out following task: handle the inquiry from each user; To effectively inquire about or other irrelevant request passes to ISP DNS; Before arriving ISP DNS the invalid inquiry of intercepting and will this invalid inquiry be redirected to the relevant information of content or provide content relevant, the webpage of information that be correlated with and/or time correlation on the geography; To pass to user/requestor by the effective information that registration and ISP dns server provide; And provide content relevant webpage in response to the inquiry of keyword or hot speech.

As used herein, irrelevant request is such request, this request comprise send by the user with the entity of realizing system and method for the present invention (for example, ISP) the irrelevant information of desired function.More specifically, everyone, the interest such as each company that realize native system and method are to analyze a certain information, catch a certain information and/or the inquiry relevant with a certain information are redirected to the webpage (for example, the webpage of being sponsored by participant) that comprises various information.These people, company etc. are not interested in the out of Memory, and wish to filter this information so that the not processed not occupying system resources of this information.Irrelevant request is to be the request that comprises its uninterested information by the substantial definition of realizing native system and method, therefore it should be filtered out.For example, many entities are only wished to analyze, catch and/or redirected webpage inquiry (that is, the HTTP inquiry), therefore do not wish to handle e-mail inquiry (that is SMTP inquiry).System and method of the present invention allows such entity to filter the SMTP inquiry, make they or not treated by or be that the error message of not resolved request returns to the sender with it with this inquiry of expression.Certainly, each independent community can use a plurality of other parameters to define association.

Employed electronic package is the typical case uses in computer industry a electronic package and be connected with being connected in internet equipment of the present invention, and other structural detail of all of this system is also like this.In a preferred embodiment, utilize one or more ISP DNS to realize internet equipment of the present invention.In these embodiments, various hardware, software and the functional unit of this internet equipment can be on the ISP dns server, with hardware that the ISP dns server separates on or part on the ISP dns server and on the hardware that part is being separated.In certain embodiments, this internet equipment is provided on the hardware that separates with the ISP dns server by whole.Internet equipment of the present invention and ISP dns server can be by physical connections such as cable or electric wires.This connection can be directly (that is, and from one to another, except via the connector without any intercalary hardware) or indirect (that is, by one or more other hardware units, for example circuit board, filtrator etc.).In other embodiments, this connection is not physical connection (for example, it is the connection by electromagnetic energy such as infrared signal, radio signal, microwave signal, optical signallings).In certain embodiments, this internet equipment is directly realized (for example, by circuit board being inserted this server) in ISP dns server or registration dns server.In other embodiments, some function directly realizes in ISP or registrar, and other function is realized by one or more other physical assemblies by physics or non-physical connection.

In the embodiment that native system and method is integrated in registration or the isp server, this integrated can be by one or more circuit board physics are inserted in this server.In addition, can realize in the one or more fire walls in being in registration or ISP system that non-HTTP service data packet is filtered and the appropriateness refusal.Similarly, two or more load balancer can provide log in page redundancy and reliability.And, can be by using the service of server or script realization based on hot speech, keyword and position.

And, as disclosed in this, in an embodiment, the invention provides such feature: when inquiry takes place, the user is had the minimum influence and the mode of the use of the required computing machine of minimum user greatly, by use this system in conjunction with internet basic arrangement, can reduce the use of computing machine at user class.Has such attendant advantages in certain embodiments: when starting inquiry, have seamless integrated with whole network.

Native system is applicable to multiple directed application of communicating by letter with method.For example, in being applicable to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention of telephone field, untapped business may be the telephone number that pulls out of mistake, this telephone number can be redirected to Telemarketer or other position then or be used for other service such as catalog function.Instant messaging (Instant Messaging, IM) field, untapped business may be for example by someone generation of importing with incorrect screen title.Then can with should mistake the screen name of input weigh and be directed to the advertiser who initiates a message and/or connect or be redirected to other position or be used for other service such as catalog function.Therefore, according to the present invention, log in page can be any position that information can be provided in response to inquiry, including, but not limited to webpage, telephone number and IM screen title.Preferably, this information is that the system that is just using with this inquiry, requestor or requestor is relevant, but this information also can be that the requestor is directed to the information of relevant information, any out of Memory of wanting of the message that makes a mistake of expression or this internet equipment operator concisely.

If correctly handle, business unwanted, that be not used and/or that do not resolve will be very valuable commercial resource for those search the people of this business.Really, many ISPs do not recognize that they have this valuable commercial assets.Today, they are considered as this business the rubbish equivalent of the Internet.But for many industries, rubbish usually can recycle and is converted into new product.A kind of method of doing like this is exactly by the present invention, the invention provides this unwanted, means that business that be not used and/or that do not resolve is redirected to the relevant webpage of content, and in the process of doing like this, obtain economic return from the owner of this webpage.In addition, general inquiry (for example, keyword or hot speech are searched) is directed to is but needs not to be the geographical ability that goes up the website relevant can to produce commercial opportunity also be that the DNS operator of enterprise etc. of the server of ISP and/or the maintenance commerce that is exclusively used in them obtains income with the nearest content of requesting computer.

Can be in the Internet traffic identification " be used " for " unwanted " or the system and method for " resolving " can be realized by several means, will the exemplary embodiments of these means be described at this.

Typical inquiry routing plan causes searching the IP address by the dns server that typically is ISP DNS of being got in touch by user's explorer.If behind the suitable DNS of registration-level inquiry not finding on the Internet IP address of ask, then this request is classified as " not parsing ", and will return to the explorer of this request of initiation this result's error message.The invention provides system and method in order to intercepting such error message and to provide content relevant web results, rather than simple error message or be redirected to the incoherent webpage of content by this explorer.In essence, system and method for the present invention makes such error message be redirected to the relevant webpage of content away from user's explorer.In the process of doing like this, the present invention eliminated the error message that do not have output and by explorer be redirected to may the incoherent URL of content or the incoherent webpage of advertisement content do not have being redirected of output.

When the initial inquiry that can not resolve is sent to ISP DNS, the IP address of being asked to attempt to resolve is transmitted in this inquiry up and down in internet basic arrangement, and only just error message is returned to the requestor after all suitable dns servers are all by contact.On the contrary, native system and method are provided with the high-speed cache of malformed queries, therefore not only allow relevant being redirected of content, and if this malformed queries be present in the high-speed cache of this system, can also significantly reduce the redirected required time quantum of inquiry that can not resolve.

And because native system allows cache information, thereby they can provide the website of having moved or the correct IP address of webpage.More specifically, in order to improve the speed that the IP address is returned to the user, dns server is their effective I P addresses of knowing of buffer memory typically.This IP address is kept predetermined amount of time before being eliminated and (is called " life period " or TTL) in this buffer memory.In case be eliminated, when asking particular ip address, (follow said process closely) next time, dns server must be from this IP address of root rank server requests.Yet, when with website or webpage when an IP address moves to another IP address, will not move the dns server that directly is notified in the internet basic arrangement, therefore in their buffer memory, keep this IP address till TTL is expired.After this moves, but before TTL is expired, will be directed to expired IP address to the request of this webpage or website mistakenly.In an embodiment, the website that native system and method have moved by (half a day, every day, a week etc.) buffer memory periodically and the new IP address of webpage, with old IP address mark is obsolete IP address, and business is redirected to new IP address, another relevant IP address, or provide the log-on webpage of new IP address, related web page and/or advertising message to overcome this shortcoming.

When this internet equipment is between user and the ISP DNS maybe in this internet equipment part or the whole ISP of being integrated in DNS, the position that it can be discerned user's IP address and therefore can discern the user.When judging whether a certain business is " not needing ", when for Query Result or the inquiry of not resolving provide geographical relevant when redirected and when connect the user on the geography that comprises institute's information requested or connecting path length (, when the quantity of redirect) going up nearest server, this information is useful.This function can not be provided by any known employed system that realizes at registration-level at present.

Can realize this internet equipment in the parsing rank of searching rank or inquiry of inquiry.In the disclosure, provide and searched the example that rank realizes.Parsing rank in company's site realizes in the typical scenario of this internet equipment that company's site can be unwanted with traffic identification by multiple means.For example, if be nonprofit to abroad with Product transport, then company's site can be " unwanted " with oversea service definition.Therefore, by analyzing IP address just can identification services whether from abroad.Alternatively, the website owner may only need the business of some time, and does not need At All Other Times and/or the business in geographic position.By realizing native system and method, can classify to this business according to time and/or geographic position, wherein the part of appointment can be identified as redirected professional and with it as available redirected business.More specifically, by analyzing the request of visited company website, the said firm can allow some professional adding and filter out other business.Unaccepted then (being filtered) business can be used to be redirected by native system and method, perhaps can (any other lot of data that maybe can collect from this inquiry based on theme, geographic position, time) this business be sold to the interested bidder of this business.

In telephone field, unwanted telephone service may show as the form of the Internet call of wrong telephone number of dialling or fault orientation.Perhaps this people has imported correct telephone number, but people or this people relevant with this number do not work no longer there, and perhaps this people may have different telephone numbers.In either case, this telephone service perhaps can be redirected to the company or even the Telemarketer of the outside that other people, the operator of telephone operator, this people in the company that this people just attempting to get in touch may forward to.Can also be to be selections of obvious other for those skilled in the art.

In instant messaging (IM) field, " not resolving " business can be the business that does not for example have relative screen title, for example when the client imports non-existent screen title.If can not resolve this business in the IM database, this business is identified as not and resolves so, therefore can be redirected, and marketing message and/or web site url can be offered this client.

As shown here and as described in, exist to be used for the electronic communication signal that can not find its re-set target is carried out orientation or redirected many possible example.Although there are many these type of forms, and be not limited to herein example about explanations such as internet service, calls, for simply, the internet service about whereabouts unknown provides described example herein.Therefore yet described notion is identical with the electronic communication of other form with structure, and scope of the present invention also comprises all electronic communications except the electronic communication that the internet service that is used for not resolving described in the following series of drawing and keyword and hot speech are searched.

Forward accompanying drawing now to, exemplary embodiments of the present invention shown in Fig. 1 wherein, shows functional system of dns-proxy server or the method for PLE.In this embodiment of the present invention, suitably import and locate the IP address.Go out as shown, the request that 1.ISP client's (for example, isolated user) will be used for the IP address search sends to PLE, and 2.PLE arrives ISP DNS with message relay then.DNS collects the relevant necessary statistics of particular ip address of being asked with this user, and the 3. IP addresses of being asked that will have resolved domain name return to PLE.4.PLE the IP address of being asked is returned to the ISP customer.In such system or method, dns-proxy server (that is, PLE) can be collected all DNS information requested and statistics about ISP DNS is made.This can be achieved by using other function (example function as shown in FIG. 7), thereby sets up database for this system and method.

Yet the Internet user does not have the IP address that suitably input is wanted usually.Fig. 2 illustrates the example of incomplete DNS request, and wherein, from the PSP node, for example (on the geography or according to the quantity of redirect) nearest PSP node returns redirected IP address.1.ISP the client has made incomplete request to address search.2.PLE give ISP DNS with the request relaying of incompleteness and collect statistics in the database, 3.ISP DNS returns mistakes such as " not this addresses " then.4.PLE returns the IP address of nearest PSP then, so that the ISP customer receives redirected IP address rather than DNS error message to this request.

Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 illustrate event when realizing the system and method for some embodiment of the present invention in internet basic arrangement in proper order.In Fig. 2, the user submits the request 1 to the incompleteness of IP address to.2. this request is routed to ISP DNS by PLE, this ISP DNS with reference to other DNS in himself high-speed cache, root DNS and the internet basic arrangement after, can not find the IP address of being asked.3. this ISP DNS returns error message, before passing to the requestor, replaces error message is returned to the requestor, and PLE reads this error message.4.PLE return nearest PSP address.As shown in Figure 3, think that 5. the requestor's that has been provided institute's information requested explorer is connected to this PSP.Be connected to this request of PSP performance analysis of user, 6. the one or more participants of contact 7. receive information or content from one or more participants, and 8. produce and return the network entry page or leaf and give the client, comprise search column in this log in page.It is (for example, mistake is imported, and is expired) that can not resolve that such situation not shown in this Figure: PLE identifies the webpage or the website of being asked by the high-speed cache with reference to himself.In this case, PLE can be redirected to PSP with this request, and need not at first with reference to ISP DNS.

PSP is a function platform of forming the part of system and method for the present invention.PSP can comprise a unit (for example, server) or a plurality of unit of hardware.Sometimes the PSP hardware cell is called node at this.Each node of PSP comprises a plurality of IP address, and PLE can be redirected to this IP address together with other relevant information with not resolved inquiry.PSP can analyze the information that PLE provides and set up the log in page of the certain content that is used to be shown to the requestor.The advantage of these embodiment of the present invention is that this log in page is set up the dynamic perfromance of handling.Different with other Redirectional system, native system is based on information that this system kept and the information that is provided by participant (for example, the advertiser), for log in page is dynamically set up in each not resolved inquiry that PLE provides.By this way, can set up the redirected log in page of certain content, and the log in page of this certain content can also comprise the geographical relevant content and the content of time correlation of for each not resolved inquiry.This and presently used other Redirectional system form contrast, the latter sets up single redirected log in page and this redirected log in page is provided in response to some hot speech or not resolved inquiry, and has nothing to do with the particular topic of inquiry, requestor's position or the time of request.

In an embodiment, the webpage that returns in response to user's request comprises search column (being also referred to as browser hurdle or URL bar in the art).Provide this search column by PSP in this redirected log-on webpage situation, this search column plays the same effect in any typical search hurdle.That is to say that this search column can provide the Internet search ability to the user as any other search column, for example, carry out URL, hot speech and keyword search.Especially when redirected log in page that PSP provided comprised relevant information but do not comprise the precise information that the user wishes to obtain, this search column also provided the chance of the search that improves the user to the user.Therefore, the search column that is provided by this redirected log in page provides convenience for the user further searches for, and the confusion that takes place usually when the user has a plurality of search column that is positioned on its browser page or leaf is minimized.That is to say that because provide this search column in this redirected log in page, thereby the user remembers that easily he has used that search column, rather than may be presented in many search columns on top of its browser display page or leaf one.In fact, can imagine to obtain that the user can eliminate all browser hurdles from their browser display page or leaf, therefore discharge desk-top space and not loss of function.Notion hereto, because the user can use in the shared search engine any one by using by the browser hurdle that redirected log in page provided from PSP, thereby the user need not keep a plurality of browsers hurdle on its browser display page or leaf.In addition, as the browser hurdle that provides by PSP of the part of log in page also for participant has increased commercial opportunity, because the further search of being undertaken by this user for example can produce the log in page that comprises the advertisement relevant with content along the right side or the top of screen.

At this, should be noted that many accompanying drawings show " participant ".For participant, it means the entity (individual, company, tissue etc.) that contents such as advertisement, service or the out of Memory information of government-invested project, university scholarship etc. (for example, about) are provided to PSP.This content is useful for the demonstration of the PSP of the not resolved inquiry of being correlated with in response to the particular topic relevant with this other side, geographic area, time etc.PSP uses this content dynamically to set up for each the not resolved inquiry that is sent by PLE and is redirected log in page.PSP operator, the DNS owner and certain other entity of realizing system and method for the present invention typically to the participant charge to show this other side's content.In the case, PSP operator, the DNS owner etc. and the other side have known that this causes high return rate by related content is provided obtains that financial income-receptions such as PSP operator are used to show the paying of this content and the other side obtains the advertisement that is directed to.That is to say that the advertisement guiding is the known very effective medium of advertisement, and when PSP received the inquiry relevant with the other side's commerce, the other side by being provided, the information that is shown obtained the income of this series advertisements.

In some cases, the user may need the plug-in unit resident program to drive this system.In these cases, the invention provides all effective plug-in unit resident program (referred to herein as PSM) of a kind of request (for example, webpage, e-mail, Internet telephony, IM etc.) to any kind.For example, when the user wishes to use the plug-in unit resident program that all web-page requests are routed to PSP, PSM can be installed on the user's personal computer, and guarantee that the user only sends to this PSP with network requests.Yet if this PSM also is not set so that e-mail Address requests, IM request or other internet service request are routed to suitable substance P SP, PSP may filter out this non-webpage business and return the wrong responses that is applicable to this request.Shown in Fig. 4 in enforcement according to the plug-in unit resident program in this internet equipment of some embodiment.In Fig. 4, the requests such as HTTP request that illustrate from the user directly are directed to the PSP of internet equipment from the plug-in unit resident program by 9., and need not at first with reference to PLE, PSP DNS or internet basic arrangement.PSP offers the various information of PSP and is stored in any out of Memory with this inquiry or subscriber-related PSP from inquiry based on 9., 8. dynamically set up and return log in page for this user, 6. it is sent to one or more participants, and 7. mix with the information from one or more participants.

Run through the disclosure, the notion of filtering has been discussed.Native system and method allow the information by them is filtered.That is to say, can be at content, source (geographical, IP address, MAC Address), time and other correlation parameter to analyzing by the information that system and method for the present invention received.Can use this information to judge whether and it be passed through because this inquiry comprises the information that is defined as concerning handling uncorrelated (or forbidding).Can also use this information to judge whether to handle (for example, being redirected to redirected log in page) to this inquiry.Equally, can use this information to judge whether and this inquiry is returned to the sender as malformed queries.Can imagine immediately why filter out inquiry or by, handle or return numerous other reasons of inquiry, and the present invention has considered all these reasons.For example, can filter inquiry, perhaps inquiry is redirected to the webpage that is used for notifying the inappropriate property of this bad theme to the sender at bad word, phrase or figure.Can also (for example filter based on the IP address of being asked, can use this internet equipment to stop visit, the website of Pornograph for example is provided or the website that is defined as other bad content by the user of this equipment or operator is provided) some internet website.In addition, as run through whole open the discussion, the query filter that can not resolve can be arrived and be redirected log in page.In addition, only accept among the embodiment of web-page requests in that PSP is configured to, can filter the e-mail request, or analyzing or without changing the back, or it is returned to the sender with error message by this system.

As native system and other function of method, filtering also is function, therefore can provide filtration on one or more physical assemblies of native system.In certain embodiments, it is integrated in the employed one or more fire walls of DNS operator.In other embodiments, it is in the hardware cell that comprises PLE and/or PSP.Having found that filtering function is useful, is not very necessary at the PLE platform still.In exemplary embodiments, be used to discern in the filtration of PLE platform (for example, dns-proxy server) and be defined as word, phrase or the bit string of not allowing by the operator.For example, some operator of this internet equipment may wish to stop and comprises all business that are defined as aggressive some word by this operator.The filtering function of PLE can be used to intercept all business that comprise these words, and the user is redirected to is used to explain the log in page that has intercepted this message and do not allowed the business that comprises aggressive bit string etc.

On the contrary, although do not require, for the optimum performance of this system, having been found that provide filtering function at the PSP platform.For example,,, then perhaps take resource, attempt to create log in page for these non-webpage inquiries with very high resource percent if do not filter out non-webpage inquiry implementing PSP only to be redirected in the situation of log in page at wrong webpage inquiry dynamic creation.These are unhelpful attempts the occupying system resources and the robustness of restriction system and method potentially.Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment, provide filtration at PSP.

Shown in Fig. 3 and 4, PSP can be based on request or for the specific configuration that requesting computer or ISP stored (profile), return the client specific, content that be correlated with and/or time correlation on geography.As the side of advertising, search engine side, advertising network and advertising network diffuser's etc. participant return content at the specific user, at the content of the position of requesting computer or ISP and/or based on the content of the theme of this inquiry.This can by at participant or undertaken by the defined universal applications program interface of participant (API).8.PSP set up and send the startup page or leaf that has from the content of participant.Based on the configuration information of the ISP that is stored or based on the IP address that comprises about the requestor of the geographical location information of requesting computer, dynamically set up this startup page or leaf in real time.Can use this IP address to come location requestors up to known individual consumer.

Fig. 5 A and 5B illustrate two examples of internet equipment of the present invention, wherein, can use as the effector's of system and method for the present invention ISP based on network interface such as hardware connection or directly link communicate by letter with PLE and it controlled.Fig. 5 A shows ISP and gets in touch the scheme of PLE (in the present embodiment, it is assigned with the IP address of having only ISP to know) PLE is upgraded, is provided with etc. by its keeper via the Internet.The advantage of present embodiment is that ISP can may change into a plurality of PLE platforms at one time from single position.Fig. 5 B shows the ISP keeper and directly connects contact PLE (in the present embodiment, it does not have the IP address, so can not by access to the Internet) PLE is upgraded, is provided with etc. by wired connection, optics connections, infrared connection etc.The advantage of present embodiment is that PLE does not have the IP address, the therefore unlikely attack that is subjected to based on the Internet.Typically, ISP wish to visit PLE be provided with and management PLE in the dns-proxy server function, and in order to check or to upgrade the state of PLE dns-proxy server and return to user's redirected log in page in response to not resolved inquiry.Yet in some cases, ISP may wish to use based on network interface or directly link its ISP configuration to be set on PSP or to carry out other many tasks.

A feature can selecting to utilize in internet equipment of the present invention is to select to use the redirected ability of this internet equipment or do not use this redirected ability.Be referred to as opt-in/out (adding/withdraw from) ability at this, and realize in a preferred embodiment so that the selection of using other reorientation method to be provided to the user who relies on the one or more DNS that realize internet equipment of the present invention.In essence, can regard PLE of the present invention as " smart wire ", it can be analyzed from the user's or from the information of internet basic arrangement, and use this information carrying out one or more functions (therefore play a role), or ignore this information (therefore playing the effect of line) with aptitude manner.The ability of carrying out this differentiation is in this internet equipment, and this ability is without any need for other hardware or software.Yet in an embodiment, in order to realize adding/withdraw from feature, PLE is redirected to PSP with the user, notifies the user the user to be redirected and the user wishes to withdraw from the log in page of the message of this service if this PSP creates to comprise.In the embodiment that uses the plug-in unit resident program, this plug-in unit resident program is directed to the user PSP that creates this log in page.

In case the user adds or withdraws from this service, then PLE, PSP or this two can keep this selection mode also this state to be applied to all other inquiries that are derived from IP address relevant with the computing machine that is just using or MAC Address.Certainly, if give from the computer commands with due authority, this internet equipment can will add/withdraw from numerous computing machines of selecting to be applied in the particular network.Equally, the redirect services of this internet equipment of the present invention can be to the inquiry of some type forbidding (that is, converting exit status to), then available to other type.For example, it is redirected redirected with URL that the specific user can withdraw from e-mail, and add hot speech and keyword search.In addition, user, network manager etc. can change the adding/exit status of this service at any time, and (for example by its website, telephone number or other contact information access PLE operator, ISP or other relevant DNS operator), or by the webpage that other provider managed of visit by Internet service, continue the time (one day for example, a little while,, a week, permanent etc.) of any length.For example, can add or withdraw from by the ISP keeper, this ISP keeper can manually be provided with PLE and make the state of PLE static state being arranged to want at particular ip address.In addition, the ISP keeper can create IP address block or DHCP district, and with the IP address setting therein, district is used to select the user that adds, and district is used to select the user that withdraws from.

Add or withdraw from as can selecting, can be in the various times or for the user adding/exit status is shown in all cases.For example, in response to the log in page that generates by PSP that withdraws from request, the user can see that expression means " you want to withdraw from this service? " greatly link.By selecting this link, will automatically user's IP address be sent to PLE, make when the user sends the DNS bag next time that this DNS bag is forwarded to this dns server and does not carry out any PLE and handle.Similarly, the user will withdraw from the redirect services of this internet equipment.On the contrary, the user can arrive suitable webpage and select add link, this moment the IP address of computing machine is forwarded to PLE with instruction and adds so that state is arranged to.In other embodiments, in order to withdraw from, the user can unload the browser plug-in resident program of downloading in advance, or uses this plug-in unit resident program visit to allow the webpage of registration adding/exit status.Those skilled in the art can imagine other ad hoc fashion that is fit to that is used to add and withdraws from, and can realize the mode that any one is such according to the present invention.

Fig. 6 illustrates PSP and communicates by letter continuously or periodically mutually with the PLE platform.Communication can relate to many things, including, but not limited to the validity of functional status, this intrasystem each PLE and the PSP of this intrasystem each PLE and each PSP with when content and various other function of pre-treatment load, the record kept on this intrasystem each PLE and PSP.For example, this communication is used between PLE and the PSP to be upgraded and self-coordination, maybe can be used to particular ip address transmission adding and exit status.Can start such renewal automatically by PSP or PLE, or manually start by PSP or PLE by operating personnel.This renewal can also be module, software or Data Update.They can also be used to dispose new PLE service module.The data that PSP offers PLE comprise the IP address of returning when regarding not resolved domain name request.

As shown in the type sequence of Fig. 1-6, can comprise many assemblies according to some ISP information orientation method of the present invention and system.Fig. 7 is the explanation according to some assembly of each PLE platform of the embodiment of internet equipment of the present invention and each PSP platform.An advantage aspect of some structural arrangements of this internet equipment is this fact of common software engine from PLE.Similarly, PLE can move be not software module of the present invention software module to provide other service at this infrastructure layer.In addition, should note, this internet equipment is not limited in shown in the exemplary embodiments and the quantity or the position of the hardware of being discussed, and should note in different embodiment, can comprising other hardware and software, typically carry out various functions by computing machine and Internet traffic server and realize these hardware and softwares.

Summary as a whole, Fig. 7 illustrates: can substantially internet equipment of the present invention be divided into two aspects, PLE platform and PSP platform, wherein each provides multiple function.According to the embodiment shown in Fig. 7, PLE comprises four kinds of functions: dns-proxy server, PSN agreement, DNS add up (Stats) and other service.Other embodiment can provide less or greater functionality.In addition, the PSP platform provides six kinds of functions: PSN agreement, request processor, page or leaf maker, advertiser API, configurator and port filter.It is less or more multi-functional that other embodiment can provide.Each platform is provided for stability, the load of function and bears a plurality of functions with serviceability.In an embodiment, this internet equipment comprises all more than one PLE and PSP to bear the function that further improves this equipment with serviceability by the stability, the load that improve.

In the typical case that is used for handling in the undetected not resolved inquiry of PLE high-speed cache, make the DNS request by the ISP customer, the dns-proxy server of PLE intercepts this DNS request (that is, the IP Address requests) at port 53 ports such as grade, and this request is passed to ISP DNS.If ISP DNS returns error message, then dns-proxy server will return the PSP IP addresses of nodes.At this moment, the PSN agreement of the PSN notice of settlement PSP of PLE just sends to user browser with the redirection page relevant with a certain content.PSP offers the user's IP address place by page or leaf maker and advertiser API at PLE and dynamically sets up redirected log in page.When user's web browser contact during by the IP address that dns-proxy server provided of PLE, the relevant redirected webpage of displaying contents on the user's computer screen.

The PSN protocol module is the module that communicates between PLE and the PSP.This allows the real time data between PLE and the PSP to upgrade.PLE can send information, for example, and DNS statistics, state, about the possessory information of IP address and from the information of Additional Services module.PSN can add new server module to PLE, can upgrade PLE software, can return the replying of inquiry, and can return the IP address that replacement will be returned from the error message of DNS.

The DNS statistical module is collected about the statistics of DNS request and the state of request.It can be collected these statistics by the PSN protocol module and maybe this information be sent to PSP.For example, it can collect the statistics of having submitted the address how many false request about a certain IP in some time to.This information is useful in the source of discerning spam or activities of hacker.Other example of the Useful Information that can collect and handle for those skilled in the art is obvious, and the present invention comprises all these examples.

In Fig. 7, the function of Additional Services is shown.These services can be to be considered operator of system or the useful any service of participant, and can comprise backup services, for safety can online or off-line realization backup more.In fact, in a preferred embodiment, by Additional Services functional cycle backup DNS statistical module, the storage place that is provided for adding up, also the place of providing convenience under the situation of PLE platform fault is with the recovery of stomge function.For easily statistics being transferred to another computing machine on the Internet, can provide the feature of Additional Services, or it can be " off-line " function as network addressable, this function only can be carried out the controller access of physical access to Additional Services hardware.The embodiment of back for to the relevant public can with particular ip address or the message of MAC Address added security is provided.

When the request from the ISP customer was directed to wrong log in page, the PSP request processor was handled this request.In essence, request processor is the functional unit of the PSP that communicates by letter with the requestor.It will send to other functional unit in the PSP platform from requestor's information, and the redirected log in page of being set up is returned to this requestor.

Request processor adopts port filter to filter out any incoherent inquiry that request processor receives.For example, if realize PSP only to be that the webpage inquiry provides redirected log in page, all non-http protocols or be not that other port request of HTTP will be filtered by port filter then.This or before filtration to have reduced system invalid and allow faster to be redirected web displaying.As discussed above, preferred embodiment comprises the filtrators such as port filter in the PSP platform.In an embodiment, the port filter function is provided as the operator's of the system and method for the present invention part of common fire wall.

Configurator is used to define the style and the layout of log in page.It can comprise the configuration information about ISP, client or its available any out of Memory.For example, many users get used to the layout of a certain webpage, and it can be the log in page of search page or display of search results.Configurator can be kept the information about the ISP that serves each user, and the redirected log in page of imitating the ISP search page is provided.Alternatively, configurator can judge whether the user has used particular search engine to submit inquiry to, and the redirected log in page of the page or leaf of imitating this search engine is provided.Then, if configurator had been collected information from the user once more according to former visit, then it can set up the log in page (therefore meaning that these features are preferred) that comprises that the user wants or the element that user preference uses.Can use the style and the layout of a large amount of other parameter-definition log in page, and the present invention considers and comprises all these parameters.

The PSP log in page is set up in user and any one configuration of ISP or this two the configuration of page or leaf maker module responds in being stored in configurator in real time.Certainly, the part configuration is the first-selected content of the user being taken to the incompleteness request of PSP.As mentioned above, the information that page or leaf maker function provides based on configurator, dynamically synthetic each redirected log in page.Therefore, each log in page that PSP provided may be different from the past or each other log in page that provides in the future.This and other Redirectional system makes a sharp contrast, other Redirectional system only provides the static log in page of periodically revising, and should the static state log in page be based on theme, geographic position, time and/or the particular combinations of the out of Memory such as personal information that can obtain from the information on the ISP end that remains on the Internet.

Importantly be noted that when realizing PLE and PSP the function platform that PLE and PSP are made up of function element by hardware and software.Therefore, each platform may reside on one or more different hardware.And, each functional unit can be placed on the one or more different hardware of the geographic area that is arranged in same geographic area or wide dispersion.On the different hardware that directly connects or connect, realize that different functions is easy for those skilled in the art by one or more intermediaries hardware.Similarly, although being used to control the software that is positioned at difference in functionalitys on the different hardware or these intrasystem a plurality of copies existence of conduct is a part of the present invention, but other software can be introduced the present invention, and need not the excessive or extra test of those skilled in the art, wherein, described other software can be implemented some aspect with further control this method and system, and described other software can be realized by operator of the present invention based on various requirement.
