JP2003008616A - Method to utilize row of numbers as alternative url - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for the Internet users to browse their desired home pages with ease. SOLUTION: A homepage owner registers his own URL and any unique row of numbers through online or by mail. When an Internet user inputs the registered number of his own homepage into browser software to send data, a DNS server or a data server connected with the DNS server converts the series of numbers into an IP address and directory, and returns the IP address and directory to the Internet user's computer. As a result, the Internet user's computer, using IP addresses returned from the DNS server, can connect directly with a specific directory page of the desired homepage, sending directory information after connecting with a server in which the desired home page is stored.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides a homepage creator with a URL and a number consisting of an arbitrary and unique number directly, or a website of a search engine or a browser development company or an arbitrary number sequence. Internet users have already registered in their browser software by registering online or by mail to a server, a DNS server, or a server connected to a DNS server via a homepage that provides services that convert IP addresses and directories. The purpose is to make it possible to directly access the page of the directory of the target homepage simply by entering a list of numbers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When an Internet user tries to browse a home page, the browser software is separated by dot symbols called URLs or IP addresses which consist of a combination of letters such as alphabets, numbers, kanji and symbols such as dots and slashes. It was necessary to input four sets of three-digit numbers. Moreover, it was not possible to reach the target directory directly by simply inputting the IP address. Since the Internet was originally developed mainly in the United States, the alphabet is mainly used, and even if the URL is known on TV or radio, the alphabet, dots, slashes, and other symbols are unfamiliar, or the keyboard operation is poor. It was difficult for the person to hear it, not to mention it. Also, inputting accurately into the browser software required more effort than expected.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, when an Internet user who is unfamiliar with characters such as alphabets, symbols and Chinese characters, or who is not good at keyboard operation, tries to browse a specific page of a target homepage, By entering a number into the browser software as if you were making a phone call, you were able to directly access the page in the specified directory on the target home page. This makes it possible for anyone who can recognize numbers to accurately and easily access a page in a specific directory of the target home page.
It is also easy for website users to remember and use numbers and vocabulary combinations of numbers that reflect features.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problem] The homepage creator directly operates the DNS server if he / she owns and manages the DNS server, and if not, his / her contract provider which is the DNS server, a search engine such as YAHOO, or Netscape Corporation. Of your own browser development company homepage or homepage that provides a service that converts arbitrary numbers into IP addresses and directories.
Register a number consisting of RL and an arbitrary and unique sequence of numbers online or by mail. As a result, when the Internet user inputs the registered number of the target homepage into the browser software and the data is sent, DN
The data server connected to the S server or DNS server can convert the numerical string into an IP address and a directory and return the IP address and directory information data to the computer of the Internet user. As a result, the computer of the Internet user can connect to the server having the target homepage by using the IP address returned from the DNS server, and then send the directory information to directly connect to the page of the specific directory of the target homepage. it can.
