Description

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERNET DOMAINS}

The present invention relates to an Internet domain management system for supporting an optimal response and results for an Internet domain required by an unspecified number of users on the Internet. Specifically, the present invention relates to an Internet domain used for addressing a specific web server on the Internet. The present invention relates to an Internet domain management method for managing names and a system for supporting the same so that duplicate registrations can be made using a plurality of names that are not limited to a language, and a homepage of a desired internet domain can be quickly connected.

In general, the World-Wide Web (WWW) is an information retrieval system for retrieving a large number of information distributed on the Internet using hypermedia technology. The WWW uses a client-server model, where the informed side builds a server to provide the information, and the client can access the server through a browser to view the information. The server then creates a document in Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML). Hypertext, which includes not only text but also various media such as video and sound, is connected in a link relationship so that different servers can be easily moved along this link.

In addition, a naming standard called a web address (Universal Resource Locator, hereinafter referred to as a URL) is used to smoothly search for information distributed in the WWW. The client accesses the server where the information is stored by describing the Internet address of the server to be accessed as the URL. The URL representation format is "Protocol: // Internet Address / Directory File Name".

For example, in a URL such as "http://www.wwwez.co.kr/tm/tm.cgl?ac=list", "www.wwwez.co.kr" means the address of the server where the resource is stored. "/tm/tm.cgl?ac=list" stands for a directory on the server, and the "/" symbol is used to name a directory in a file system with a hierarchical directory.

The process of accessing the client's Internet site is as follows. When the client's web browser is driven, a physical connection between the web browser and the Internet is established by a normal internet connection means. Here, the web browser is basically interfaced to access many network and server services, and HTML-compatible web browsers such as Explorer and Netscape Navigator are widely used.

After connecting to the Internet, the user of the web browser specifies the link via the desired web address (URL), and the client then naming to map the host name of the URL to the specific network IP (Internet Protocol) address where the server is located. Generates a request for service. The naming service then returns a list of one or more IP addresses that can respond to the request.

Using one of these addresses, the web browser establishes a connection to the server, and the connected server outputs a document or other means formatted according to HTML to the web browser.

On the other hand, the conventional method of noting the Internet domain for the Internet information provider as described above, in order to access the web page of the Internet information provider to which the domain name (the only English letter) is given, enters a specific form (www or com.net, com, net, etc.) to access the web address.

However, such existing domain name notation uses only English-based notation and is classified and managed by notation of www or com, com, net, etc. before and after the domain name, respectively. The barrier is difficult to use. In addition, since the domain name is not allowed to be duplicated, it is inconvenient for ancillary user recognition such as a domain dispute.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the present invention is to register a plurality of names in one Internet domain that specifies the address of the web server, or multiple names of the same name Allows computers to uniquely distinguish each Internet domain by simultaneously registering each domain with a registrant unique value that only the domain registrant can have uniquely to avoid duplication of Internet domains and / or names. And an Internet domain management method and a system supporting the same so that the information can be easily retrieved without recognizing the name or uniform resource locator (URL) of the Internet domain. And / or can be transmitted over a computer network It aims to provide a computer program product.

One embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, in a method for managing an Internet domain in a computer network comprising a client machine having one or more web servers and a web browser, one that is assigned to an Internet information provider Register a plurality of names in correspondence with the Internet domain of the Internet domain, and / or register one name in duplicate in correspondence with each of the plurality of Internet domains, and manage the Internet domain by allowing duplicate names. Provide management methods.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of names is not limited to a specific language, characterized in that registration is permitted by a plurality of similar words made up of a combination of letters having the same meaning.

In addition, the Internet domains in which the plurality of names are registered repeatedly and / or the Internet domains in which one name is registered in duplicate may be assigned to each registrant unique value that only one registrant has. It is characterized by allowing a computer to distinguish domains.

In order to achieve the above object, another embodiment of the present invention provides a system for managing an Internet domain in a computer network including a client machine having one or more web servers and a web browser, the address of a web server on the Internet. Allowing multiple registrations by matching a plurality of names requested by a subscriber in the web browser to one Internet domain, and / or allowing duplicate registrations by matching one name to a plurality of Internet domains, A domain registration and management server which assigns each registrant unique value that only one registrant has to each domain, and manages a plurality of Internet domains and a plurality of names so that a computer can distinguish each Internet domain; And a relay server that searches for a name and / or an internet domain requested by an Internet information user in the web browser in the domain registration and management server and relays the same to the web browser.

In order to achieve the above object, another embodiment of the present invention includes one or more information providing means and / or a service server and a client machine, and relays the connection between the client and the information providing means and / or service server. In a computer network including a server, in a computer program product recorded on a computer readable medium of the relay server, the domain name includes a real web server address of a subscriber domain and a plurality of names and registrant unique values to be used in the web browser. A module granted from a registration and management server; A domain relay module for connecting a plurality of names and registrant unique values requested by an Internet information user in the web browser to correspond to a web server address of an actual internet domain; The present invention provides a computer program product including a search index support module for supporting a search index so that a web server address of a desired real subscriber domain can be easily found by searching for information on a duplicate name.

These objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.

According to the present invention, when the Internet information users input any one and / or multiple addresses of the Internet domain or a plurality of Korean names, the Internet can directly connect the website of the corresponding Internet domain to the client's web browser. We propose a domain management method and a system implemented to support the same as a preferred embodiment. In addition, the client may optionally install an access module or domain naming server that directly associates the Hangul name input in the address column with the present service server. The following description will be given by taking a client in which the plug-in module is installed as an example. In the present specification, the Internet service on the computer network configured as the client-server is described, but the technical idea of the present invention is not limited thereto and can be variously modified and implemented by those skilled in the art.

1 is an overall configuration diagram of an Internet domain management system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and includes a plurality of clients 11 and 12, an information providing server 21, a service server 22, and a plurality of clients. Shows an Internet domain management system on a computer network in which web servers 30 are physically connected via an internet connection means 10.

1, the Internet domain management system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the domain registration and management server of the actual web server address of the subscriber domain and a number of Korean names and registrant unique values to be used in the web browser It may include a web server 30 received from. In this case, the Hangul name is an easy name that users can easily remember or use, and in particular, a business representative name, a recognition name, an alias name, or the like may be used. The registrant unique value is unique identification information (ID) that a computer stores to distinguish a plurality of Internet domains, and may be used as one of the business representative name, a recognition name, an alias name, or another new name. . In addition, a plurality of Korean names requested by a subscriber in the web browser may be mapped to an Internet domain assigned to designate a web server address on the Internet, and duplicate registration may be allowed, and / or a single Korean name may be used for multiple Internets of multiple subscribers. Multiple registrations are allowed in correspondence with domains, and each of the plurality of Internet domains is provided with a unique registrant unique value that only one registrant has, so that a computer can distinguish each Internet domain and a plurality of Internet domains. It may include a domain registration and management server 50 to manage the Hangul name of the. In addition, the present invention may include a relay server 40 for retrieving the Korean name and / or Internet domain requested by the Internet information user in the web browser in the domain registration and management server to relay to the web browser.

In such an Internet domain management system, the Internet domain addresses for a plurality of Korean names inputted from the client machine are retrieved from the domain registration and management server 50 through the web server 30 and the relay server 40, and they are retrieved. By using the information transfer server 21 or the service server 22 corresponding to the specific Internet domain input from the client machine, the Internet to display the information retrieved by these service providers (21, 22) to the client machine Domain relay service can be provided.

In the present invention, the domain registration and management server 50, the engine database server 52 constructed with a database of index information for searching the Korean name for the request of the user of the Internet information, a unique name, URL or It is preferable to include the domain registration and management database server 51 in which actual data corresponding to Internet domain mapping information, search keywords, registrant unique information, etc. are constructed as a database.

The Korean names registered, searched and managed by the database servers 51 and 52 may be duplicated and stored using a plurality of Korean names composed of a combination of letters having the same meaning. The plurality of Korean names can be directly registered by the Internet information providers arbitrarily selected, a number of common names commonly used by Internet information users (names that are likely to be confusing to the general public; for example, Kana Electronics Co., Ltd., It is preferable to select and register Gana Electronics Co., Ltd., Ghana Electronics, Ghana Electronics, Ghana Electronics etc.). As described above, by allowing the Internet information provider to repeatedly register the Internet domain name in its own Internet domain, duplicate registrations are made with a number of Korean names for one Internet domain. The domain can be searched for each Hangul name by operating a domain search engine provided in the engine data server, and it is possible to easily manage an Internet domain in which duplicate registration of a plurality of Hangul names is allowed. It is possible to register, search, and manage the Korean name described in the web address input box of the web browser requested by the Internet information provider.

For example, a company may use an existing URL (eg, www.sec.co.kr) or "Kana Electronics" or "Kana Electronics" or "Kana Electronics" through the web address field of the web browser. Or, if duplicate registration under the Hangul name "Kana Electronics Co., Ltd." or "Kana Electronics", Internet information users are not "http://www.sec.co.kr" in the web browser on the computer network, only " (http: //) Kana Electronics Co., Ltd. "or" (http: //) Kana Electronics Co., Ltd. "or" (http: //) Kana Electronics Co., Ltd. "or" (http: //) Kana Electronics Co., Ltd. " Or "(http: //) Kana Electronics" or "(http: //) $ registrant unique value", you can see the same result as using the existing URL.

If a company of a large company has registered an existing URL (eg, www.sec.co.kr) under the Hangul name "Gana Electronics", any other company of SME may have its own URL (eg, www.sm. com) under the Korean name "Gana Electronics", in order to distinguish each of the two "Gana Electronics" registered under the same name, the web server registers the registrant unique value (ID) of the large company Ghana Electronics. Is " sem ", and the registrant unique value ID for Ghanaian electronics of the SME is " sm, " Therefore, the Korean name of the same name is duplicated in two different URLs, but the computer uses the registrant unique value (ID) of the two URLs, so that the 'Gana Electronics' of the large company and the 'Gana Electronics' of the SME are respectively. To be distinguished.

Meanwhile, the relay server 40 allows multiple registrations of Korean names and / or multiple Internet domains between the web server and the domain registration and management server, and analyzes user queries from the web browser. Supports an application for retrieving Korean names and / or Internet domains requested by Internet information users from the domain registration and management server, and relaying the retrieved Korean names and / or Internet domain search information to the web browser through the web server. It is preferable to include a domain management application server 42.

The relay server 40 may further include a web service request broker 41 when it includes one or more domain management application servers or an application server for providing other services.

The web service request broker 41 determines an application server to be processed for the request of the Internet information user and selectively relays one of the domain management application server or another application server to the web server.

The web service request broker 41 analyzes the address line itself input from the web browser by the Internet information user to distinguish between the Korean name, the registrant unique value, or other service names. At this time, the registrant intrinsic value can be recognized by a delimiter using a special character (in the present invention, in particular, a case using the "$" symbol).

2 illustrates a process flow between the domain management application server and a database server in order to explain the Internet domain management method according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the domain management application server 42 includes a module 42a for receiving a Korean name inputted from an address column of the web browser from the web service request broker and analyzing a user query. It may include an index search module 42b and a result information patch module 42c for executing an index search for the analyzed user query and the URL mapping to perform a web service forwarding service through the web service request broker. have. At this time, the index search module 42b and the result information patch module 42c are directly connected to respective database servers so as to drive the engine database server 51 and the domain registration and management database server 52 respectively. It is preferable.

The present invention as described above is a computer program readable by a computer or transmitted over the network on a computer network including one or more information providing means and / or a relay server connecting the service server and the client machine. Of course, it can be implemented as a product.

Although not shown in the drawing, the computer program product is an application module that receives an actual web server address of a subscriber domain and a plurality of Korean names and registrant unique values to be used in the web browser from the domain registration and management server (for example, There may be a server for assigning a domain name and an IP address, etc.), and a plurality of Korean names and registrant unique values requested by the Internet information user in the web browser correspond to the web server address of the actual Internet domain. It is desirable to include a domain relay application module, and an application module that supports a search index so that the web server address of a desired real subscriber domain can be easily found by searching for information on duplicate Korean names.

When the domain relay application module searches for multiple Internet domains (web server addresses) in the Korean name requested by the Internet information user through a search box, the domain relay application module includes a user with a list of Internet domains corresponding to the same Korean name. Provides additional information that can be distinguished (e.g. address, representative name, business type / business type, nickname, school of origin, etc.), and this is the distinguishing information entered by the registrant. And / or automatically set priorities based on the frequency of searches for each Internet domain (the number of times Internet information users visit that domain), and according to the set priorities, especially Internet domains with high First and foremost, it should be programmed to connect the web server address of the real Internet domain. All.

The domain relay application module directly searches the database with the search index by inferring the meaning of the letters of the Korean name requested by the user when the Internet domain is not searched for the unique name requested by the Internet information user. It is preferable that the program be programmed to connect the Internet domain of the name most similar to the Korean name.

For example, if a company registers an existing URL (e.g. www.sec.co.kr) with the Hangul name "Gana Electronics Co., Ltd.", the Internet information user may use the "http: //" in a web browser on the computer network. If the "Gana Electronics" is inputted, the domain relay application module first searches for an Internet domain registered under the Hangul name "Gana Electronics" through an index search of a database server. Since there is no Korean name registered with the same name as a result of the search, the domain relay application module analyzes the meaning of the characters contained in the Korean name inputted through the web browser, and is similar to the meaning of "Gana Electronics Co., Ltd." or "Gana Electronics." Co., Ltd., or "Kana Electronics Co., Ltd." or "Kana Electronics Co., Ltd." is registered, and the Internet domain (URL; www.sec.co. kr), the user can see the same result as using the existing URL even if the Internet information user does not know the Internet domain or URL correctly.

Therefore, the client machine user only needs to describe the Hangul name for the web server address of the Internet domain to be provided with information and / or services according to the defined format. On the relay server side, the Hangul name is interpreted as the meaning of letters. Convenient Internet domains for Internet domains required by users by searching for the location of the desired service server or information, connecting users to service providers, and providing only the best response and results without going through unnecessary intermediary processes. The search can be made.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art, which are included in the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

As described above, the present invention allows the name of the Internet domain to be duplicated by a plurality of Korean names combined with one representative other name, in particular letters having the same meaning, thereby being used as the Internet domain. This has the advantage of eliminating language restrictions and domain name duplication restrictions.
