The determination server analyzes the pattern of the connection word input from the client or extracts the connection word code specification information included in the information provided from the client to determine the language of the connection word, and based on the connection word, each communication protocol according to the language. Search the database that stores the star UEL information, finds the UEL information corresponding to the input connection word, that is, the keyword name, and connects the client to the corresponding Internet resource.

Therefore, even when using a domain name made of a language other than English, it is possible to easily know the UAL information according to the communication protocol, thereby quickly connecting the client to the Internet resource.

Description

UAE mapping system using keyword name and method thereof {SYSTEM FOR MAPPING KEYWORD NAME TO URL AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a uniform resource location (URL) mapping system and method using keyword names. More specifically, the present invention relates to a specific resource on the Internet by mapping a keyword name composed of a native language to URL (hereinafter, referred to as URL). The present invention relates to a system and a method for making a connection through a resource.

The Internet is not just a collection of computers, but a huge network of networks of different kinds of computers connected to each other, and each computer connected to the Internet has a physical address, IP address is assigned.

However, these physical addresses are made up of four groups of numbers that do not exceed 255 (for example, 134.78.238.99), so it is very difficult for users to remember these strings, and it is difficult to remember a particular computer connected to the Internet. It is very cumbersome for users to enter these IP addresses every time they want to access the network.

Therefore, in general, instead of accessing each computer by using the physical address directly, it has a one-to-one correspondence with a combination of easy-to-remember IP addresses, and automatically connects to the computer with the corresponding IP address when the user enters the string. The method used is preferably used. The combination of characters used in place of the IP address is called a domain name.

As described above, the domain name indicates an address on the Internet of a computer connected to the Internet, and is generally composed of an identifier indicating a characteristic or geographical location of the computer.

For example, "ABC.co.kr" becomes the actual domain name among the "james@ABC.co.kr" addresses of e-mails, and the URL "uniform resource location" of the IP address system " "ABC.co.kr" becomes the actual domain name among the "http://www.ABC.co.kr".

URL is a standard that defines the means of accessing various information resources on the Internet (communication protocol to be used) and the name of the resource. The URL is used to specify a file accumulated by a server on the Internet using any communication protocol. Name: ∥server name / file name ". Protocols that can be specified include HTTP (htt), NNTP (news), FTP (ftp), Telnet (telnet), mailto, and access to a local disk (file).

In general, a web browser uses a URL such as "http://www.etnews.co.kr/etnews/search", and the first "http" is not a URL but a resource represented by the URL. This is the communication protocol used to transmit in. "Www.etnews.co.kr/etnews/search" is the URL of one web page. Here, "www.etnews.co.kr" means the address of the counterpart computer on which the resource is stored, and "/ etnews / search" is a file name including a directory on the computer.

Therefore, in order to use the domain name instead of each computer's IP address, a separate device that performs the function of matching the IP address and the domain name of each computer is required. It is associated with a computer system that performs a domain name server (domain name server, also known as "DNS").

In general, when a client requests IP address resolution for a domain name of the computer, for example, "def.co.kr", to access a particular computer on the Internet, the domain name server manages the IP address. The IP address corresponding to the domain name inputted to the registrar's server is inquired, and the IP address provided from the registrar's server is returned to the client, whereby the client is connected to the computer having the corresponding IP address.

As described above, in order to connect to a particular computer on the Internet, you must know the domain name. However, in general, because the domain name is composed of a combination of English characters made according to a certain rule, the people of non-English speaking countries such as Korea, Japan, China, etc. have a disadvantage that it is difficult to memorize the domain name relatively compared to the English speaking countries.

In addition, when different domain names are allocated for each communication protocol, it is more difficult to memorize domain names.

Therefore, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to easily access to the corresponding resource using a keyword name made in the language of the country in which the resource to be accessed is actually called without inputting a URL such as a domain name for accessing the resource on the Internet. The present invention provides a URL mapping system and a method thereof.

Here, the Internet resource represents a place for providing all Internet-based services such as e-mail, file transfer protocol (FTP), telnet, etc. in addition to the world wide web (WWW).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The URL mapping system using the keyword name according to an embodiment of the present invention separately sets a domain name in a language other than English in response to all the Internet addresses registered on the Internet, and accesses a web page using the domain name. Make it possible.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a URL such as a domain name or a file name, which has been used previously, is referred to as an "English domain name", and a domain name or file name made of a language other than English is referred to as a "keyword name". In addition, a server providing an Internet address resolution service for an existing domain name is referred to as an "English domain name server", and strings input from a client to access a specific Internet resource are referred to as "connection words". Thus, "access word" includes both "English domain name" and "keyword name" as a domain name. In the embodiment of the present invention, the "keyword name" indicates a real name such as a company name, a business name, or a service mark, which is made of a language other than English (Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc.), but is not limited thereto.

First, the UL mapping system using keyword names according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

1 illustrates a structure of a web page mapping system using keyword names according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the URL mapping system 10 using the keyword name according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a keyword name server 11 connected to the client 30 through the Internet 20, A keyword name database 14 in which URL information is stored for each communication protocol corresponding to the keyword name formed in the determination server 12, the search engine 13, and the language of the corresponding country. It is connected to an English domain name server 40 that processes English domain names.

The keyword name server 11 determines whether the connection word input from the client 30 is an English domain name or a keyword name. If the connection word input is a keyword name, the keyword name server 11 tells the client 30 the IP address of the determination server 12. If the input word is an English domain name, the client 30 provides the IP address of the English domain name server 40.

If the connection word input from the client 30 is a keyword name, the determination server 12 determines which language the keyword name is, and based on the connection word input from the client 30 according to the determination result, The keyword name database 14 providing the URL information is searched to connect the client 30 to the corresponding Internet resource.

The keyword name database 14 according to the embodiment of the present invention is subdivided for each language, and can be classified into, for example, the Korean keyword name database 141 and the Japanese keyword name database 142 as shown in FIG. 1. have.

Each keyword name database (141-14n) is broken down by language, and URL information is provided corresponding to keyword names by HTTP, FTP, Telnet, and mailto for each communication protocol, which is a means of accessing various information resources on the Internet. It is stored. That is, the URL information includes not only a web page address but also an address for each communication protocol for accessing all Internet resources.

An example of displaying URL information for each communication protocol is as follows.

FTP:

ftp: // host-domain-name

ftp: // user-ID: password @ host-domain-name

E-mail:

mailto: user-ID: password @ host-domain-name

Telnet:

telnet: // host-domain-name

telnet: // user-ID: password @ host-domain-name

Since the keyword names correspond to the URL information for each communication protocol, in this embodiment, the determination server 12 searches the keyword names stored for each communication protocol of the keyword name database 14 to find the corresponding URL information. Connect the client to the corresponding Internet resource.

On the other hand, the search engine 13 retrieves data of a plurality of servers on the Internet 20 under the control of the determination server 12, collects the information of the web page that provides the information including the connection word to provide to the client 30 do.

Here, the client 30 may be at least one, and provides the keyword name server 11 with a connection word corresponding to a web page to be accessed. Although a computer is used as the client 30 here, other communication devices such as a mobile communication terminal that can be connected to the Internet 20 and a TV having an Internet connection function may be used.

The operation of the web page mapping system using the keyword name according to the first embodiment of the present invention having such a structure will be described in detail.

Here, the client 30 sets up the keyword name server 11 as a server for providing an IP address verification service by executing an Internet connection environment setting program or the like before driving a browser for accessing the Internet.

2A and 2B illustrate an operation of the UEL mapping system using keyword names according to the first embodiment of the present invention in order.

As shown in FIG. 2A, when a user inputs a connection word in an input window on a browser after the user 30 runs a web browser or an e-mail program for Internet connection, the input connection word is a keyword name server 11. It is provided as (S100). At this time, the connection word is coded according to a standard set for each language and provided to the keyword name server 11.

The keyword name server 11 determines whether the connection word provided from the client 30 is an English domain name or a keyword name (S110).

Generally, data such as language and numbers are expressed in 8-bit format. In English, the most significant bit of the 8 bits is indicated as "0". For languages or numbers other than English, the most significant bit is "1". Is displayed. Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present invention, the keyword name server 11 may determine whether the input connection word is an English domain name depending on whether the most significant bit of the 8 bits indicating the connection word input from the client 30 is "0" or "1". Determines whether a keyword is a name.

If the most significant bit of the 8 bits is "0", the keyword name server 11 determines that the input connection word is the English domain name and provides the input connection word to the English domain name server 40 (S120). Accordingly, the English domain name server 40 provides the IP address corresponding to the input English domain name to the keyword name server 11, and the keyword name server 11 provides the IP address to the client 30 to provide the client. 30 causes access to the web page (S130 to S150).

On the other hand, if the most significant bit of the 8 bits in step (S110) is "0", it is determined that the input connection word is a keyword name and provides the IP address of the determination server 12 to the client 30 to determine the determination server 12 To be connected to (S160).

Accordingly, the client 30 connects to the determination server 12 according to the IP address provided from the keyword name server 11 (S170). At this time, the client 30 together with the connection word that requested the IP address verification. It connects to the determination server 12 with the information including its own IP address, and this connection information may include standard information indicating in which language standard the connection language is encoded.

The determination server 12 extracts the domain name, that is, the connection word that has requested the IP address verification from the access information of the client 30 (S180), and then analyzes the extracted connection word to determine which language is the language of the connection (S190). .

The determination server 12 checks whether the connection information provided from the client 30 includes standard information indicating in which language standard the connection language is coded, and in the case where the standard information is included in accordance with the standard information. The language of the corresponding connection language is determined.

In addition, when the standard information is not included in the connection information, the pattern of the coded connection word is analyzed to determine the language of the connection language. More specifically, since the language is coded according to a specific pattern so that the characteristics of the language appear for each language standard, the code pattern of the connection word is analyzed to determine the language of the connection language.

In addition to this determination method, it is possible to analyze the IP address of the client 30 included in the connection information to determine which language the connection language is. That is, since different IP addresses are assigned to each country, the IP address of the client 30 is analyzed to determine which country the corresponding IP address is assigned, and according to the result of the determination, which country language is the connection language. Determine.

These determination methods may be used independently to determine which language the connection language is in, and one or more of these determination methods may be used to determine which language the connection language is in. The connection word discrimination method is not limited to the method described above.

Next, the determination server 12 searches the keyword name database 14 in which URL information corresponding to the keyword name is stored for each language corresponding to the connection word provided from the client 30 according to the determined result, as shown in FIG. 2B. (S200).

For example, the determination server 12 searches the Korean keyword name database 141 when the connection word input by the client 30 is Korean, and searches the Japanese keyword name database 142 when the connection word is Japanese. .

While searching the keyword name database 14 according to the language corresponding to the connection word, the determination server 12 checks each keyword name classified for each communication protocol to determine whether the connection word provided from the client is stored.

If the keyword name corresponding to the connection word is stored, the determination server 12 connects the client 30 to the web page according to the URL information corresponding to the keyword name (S210 to S220).

On the other hand, when the keyword name corresponding to the connection word is not stored in the keyword name database 14, the information including the connection word from a plurality of servers connected to the Internet 20 by running the search engine 13 Collect the information of the web page providing the provided to the client (30) (S230).

For example, when the connection word is "Netpia," information of a web page providing information including the word "Netpia" is collected from all servers on the Internet 20, and a user searches a search result such as a web page. HTML is provided for viewing on the client provided to the client (30). Accordingly, when the user clicks on specific information indicating a web page to be accessed from the search results, the client 30 is connected to the web page (S240).

According to the first embodiment described above, even when attempting to access an Internet resource using a keyword name made of a language other than English, it is possible to determine to which standard the language is coded. This allows you to connect clients to their Internet resources more accurately and quickly.

Next, a description will be given of the UL mapping system using the keyword name according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

3 shows a structure of a UEL mapping system using keyword names according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the URL mapping system using the keyword name according to the second embodiment of the present invention, when the Internet connection operation of the client occurs, the client is directly connected to the web server of the access device providing the URL connection intermediary service.

To this end, as shown in the accompanying FIG. 3, the UE 30 is mapped to the UE 30 according to whether the Internet connection operation occurs to the client 30 of the UE mapping system using the keyword name according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Hook module 31 for connecting with 10 is included.

The hook module 31 determines whether the Internet connection operation (connection input event) of the client 30 is generated or not, according to whether or not the "enter key" of the keyboard is operated on a web browser such as an explorer. The data input on the web browser before the key "

The URL mapping system 10 includes a determination server 12 ', a keyword name database 14, and a search engine 13 as in the first embodiment. However, unlike the first embodiment, the determination server 12 'is different from the first embodiment in that the connection word identifier 121 identifies whether the connection word provided from the hook module 31 of the client 30 is a keyword name or an English domain name. In the case where the connection word is a keyword name, the connection word processing module 122 searches the keyword name database 14 and connects the client 30 to the corresponding page.

The operation of the UEL mapping system using the keyword name according to the second embodiment of the present invention having such a structure is shown in FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hook module 31 of the client 30 collects a message generated according to data input or program driving generated on the client 30 (S300), and the collected message is “enter”. Key "operation message, and when this" enter key "is entered in an Internet access program such as a web browser, the character string entered before the" enter key "occurrence is judged as a connection word, and this connection word is converted into a specific query expression. After that, the client 30 is connected to the UL mapping system 10 (S310 to S330).

For example, if the Enter key is activated after the string "Netpia" is entered in the web browser, the hook module may execute a specific query consisting of a connection word entered with the URL of the URL mapping system 10, that is, "Netpia." Formula is formed as follows.

http://www.search.netpia.com/search.asp?keyword="Netpia "

Accordingly, the client 30 is connected to the UL mapping system 10 with the keyword "Netpia". Therefore, the client 30 is directly connected to the determination server 12 ′ of the UL mapping system 10 without passing through a server that provides a separate IP address verification service.

On the other hand, when the enter key is not operated or the enter key is not operated on the Internet access program, the hook module 31 continues to perform a message collecting operation.

When a specific query expression is input from the client 30, the connection word identification unit 121 of the determination server 12 ′ of the UL mapping system 10 is an identifier indicating a hierarchical structure to the connection word, which is a keyword included in the specific query expression. It is determined whether the English domain name or keyword name according to whether or not "." (S340).

On the other hand, in step S340, when the inputted connection word includes an identifier "." Indicating a hierarchical structure, it is determined that the connection word is an English domain name, and then the connection word processing unit 122 writes the connection word in English. Provided to the domain name server to be processed in the same manner as the conventional domain name processing (S350).

If the connection word does not contain ". &Quot;, it is determined that the connection word is a keyword name, and then the connection word processing unit 122 determines which language the connection word is in (S360). The language discrimination method is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

The connection word processor 122 of the determination server 12 'searches for the keyword name database 14 in which URL information corresponding to the keyword name is stored for each language corresponding to the connection word provided from the client 30 according to the determined result ( In operation S370, keyword names classified by communication protocols are checked to determine whether the connection word provided from the client is stored.

When the keyword name corresponding to the connection word is stored, the connection word processor 122 connects the client 30 to the corresponding Internet resource according to the URL information corresponding to the keyword name (S380 to S390).

However, if the inputted connection word is not stored in the keyword name database 14, as in the first embodiment described above, the search engine 13 collects web page information providing information including the connection word on the Internet. After that, the client 30 is connected to the search result page (S400 to S410).

As described above, in the URL mapping system using the keyword name according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the client is directly connected to the URL mapping system when an internet access operation, that is, an input word input operation, is performed on the client. The client is connected to the corresponding Internet resource according to the UAL information for each communication protocol.

In addition to the above-described embodiments, even when a client connects through an affiliated device, that is, when a connection word is provided from an affiliated device by inputting a connection word through an input window provided on the site of the associated device, Similarly, a client can access an Internet resource corresponding to a connection word, that is, a keyword name.

Meanwhile, in the above embodiment, a database is constructed such that keyword name and URL information correspond to each communication protocol. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and URL information of a specific protocol may be corresponded to keyword names without classifying each communication protocol.

The invention is susceptible to various modifications and implementations without departing from the scope of the following claims.

As described above, the web page mapping system according to the embodiment of the present invention can access a web page using a domain name made in another language in addition to a URL such as a domain name made in English. You do not need to remember the English domain name.

In addition, even when using a domain name in a language other than English, it is possible to easily know the UEL information according to the corresponding communication protocol, thereby quickly connecting the client to the corresponding Internet resource.
