Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for connecting a web site using an existing number system is provided for connecting a desired home page using only number. CONSTITUTION: A database formed of a number field in which an existing number is stored and a domain field corresponding the number is formed. A user inputs a number corresponding to a certain site which will be searched and compares with the number field of the database. As a result of the comparison, if there is a matched record, the domain name is received, and the site is directly connected. If there is not a matched record, a content which report there is not a matched record is outputted.

Description

{The method to connect a web site using a classical number system.}

The technical field of the present invention is the field of Internet search engines.

In a conventional Internet search engine, a method of displaying a document including the main word by using the main word is common. In addition, there is a way to classify the homepage by item and start from the big category to the small category.

Today's Internet search engines mostly use text. However, in order to input characters, a device for entering characters must be prepared. A typical device might be a keyboard. However, in the future, the Internet should expand further to devices that are easy to operate, such as television. However, this should be as simple as using numbers. If it is complicated, it is not easy for the general public.

The present invention attempts to access a homepage to be searched using only a few numbers by connecting the numbers associated with each homepage.

The data contains letters and numbers. There are various ways of using characters, but the system using them has to be as complex as it is. The method of using numbers has many limitations in terms of function, but the system is simple because it is intuitive and simple in expression. This example can be seen in the case that the telephone number is a number in the telephone. In addition, the use of postal codes in addresses can be seen in this context. The present invention has developed a method of using an existing number for linking a homepage using this property of numbers.

The numbers are not without the appearance of the Internet. There is usually a numeric address called an Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is a numeric address that is used to identify multiple computers on the network. So if you want to go to a computer, use a number like 123.111.333.111. But how to use these numbers is clear, but not universal to the user. This is because there are too many numbers to be memorized by the user, and the numbers are not easy to memorize.

The present invention proposes a method for easily connecting a computer by eliminating the inconvenience of having to memorize the number by using the existing number to separate the position of the homepage by using the property of the number. The step of the present invention is carried out in three steps as follows.

Step 1: Build a database consisting of the number field where the existing number is stored and the domain field corresponding to the number.

Step 2: Have the user enter the number of the place they want to find and compare it to the number field in the database.

Step 3: When comparing, if there is a matching record, the domain name is returned and connected directly. If there is no matching record, it outputs that there is no matching data and receives the user's input again. The following describes each step in detail.

Step 1: Build a Database

Existing number systems used in the present invention include a landline telephone number including an area code, a mobile phone telephone, a postal code, and a postal code + address. First, an example of using a landline telephone number including an area code is as follows. If the representative phone of Chonbuk National University is 0652-270-0000 and its domain name is www.chonbuk.ac.kr, the database to be searched is constructed as follows.

"Numberfield" "domainfield"

06522700000 http://www.chonbuk.ac.kr

The number field size of the above database is set to 32 bits enough, and there is no limit on the size of the domain field. We just separated the record with enter. The method using the landline phone number is effective for linking homepages of SMEs and individuals.

You can also extend your landline phone number to your cell phone number. Mobile phone numbers are often given to individuals, which makes them very useful for linking homepages. For example, if the cell phone of Kim Chul-soo is 014-111-1111 and the domain name is www.example1.com, the database is constructed as follows.

"Numberfield" "domainfield"

0141111111 http://www.example1.com

It is also possible to connect to foreign sites in the system using the telephone number. These methods currently have a code that displays each country, so you can store them in a database that includes them so that you can use them when you connect. For example, if the number is 123-456-7890 and the domain name is www.example2.com in the United States, the value of the number field is 0011234567890. In this number, 00 is used to distinguish the region and country, 1 after 00 is the country code, and the remaining 123456789 is the name including the area code. If this is expressed as database, it is as follows.

"Numberfield" "domainfield"

001123456789 http://www.example2.com

The postal code uses the feature that one large institution has one postal code due to the nature of the postal code. This method is very useful for finding large institutions. For example, if the postal code is 561-756 and the domain name is www.chonbuk.ac.kr, the configuration of the database is as follows.

"Numberfield" "domainfield"

561756 http://www.chonbuk.ac.kr

Using the address of postal code + address is useful when searching homepage with the address of SME. For example, suppose a small business named Intershot is 545-800, its address is 223-1, and its domain name is www.example3.co.kr. The front number 545800 is the postal code and the rear number 223 is the address of the address. When this is configured as a database:

"Numberfield" "domainfield"

545800223 http://www.example3.com

You can also link to the international homepage using the postal code. In this case, it is simply configured by adding a code to identify a country, in which case the code for identifying a country uses the number used on the telephone. For example, Americans use '1' as the number, so prefix 0001 with a U.S. postal code. In this case, 000 is a code for distinguishing the area code from the national phone number, and 1 means the United States. For example, if a U.S. university postal code is 12345-6789 and its domain name is www.example5.edu, the database might look like this:

"Numberfield" "domainfield"

0001123456789 http://www.example5.edu

If you show all of the examples individually in a single database:

"Numberfield" "domainfield"

0001123456789 http://www.example5.edu

001123456789 http://www.example2.com

0141111111 http://www.example1.com

06522700000 http://www.chonbuk.ac.kr

545800223 http://www.example3.com

561756 http://www.chonbuk.ac.kr

As shown above, each value in the number field must be configured to be unique to distinguish each record. Sorting number fields is also a way to quickly navigate to the next step.

Step 2: User Input and Comparison

One way to receive input from the user and pass it to the server is to use the <Form> tag. The following is an example used in the present invention.

<Form method = "POST" action = scripts / s.pl>

Enter number to link to: <input name = "number type =" TEXT "size =" 30,1 ">

<input type = "SUBMIT" value = "Connection">

In the above statement, the method in the <Form> tag is the way to send to the server, and the action is to specify the program to be executed. The name of the <input> tag is used to specify a variable to receive the value entered by the user. The type submit of the <input> tag acts as a user interface that causes the action of this Form statement to be executed.

The value entered by the user may include a space or the '-' sign of 0652-270-0000. Of course, it can be just a number, not included. However, all number fields in the database are numeric. Therefore, the process of deleting a space or '-' character should be performed first. This process uses the Perl language in the present invention. The following is a part of our program.

sub del_string {

local ($ str); // variable used for user input data

local ($ delchar); // Variable that determines which character should be deleted

local ($ c_length); // Variable to determine the length of the data entered

local ($ output); // Variable used for data returned after processing

local ($ c); // local variable

local ($ comp); // local variable

$ str = $ _ [0]; // of the function that saw the argument in the calling function

// convert to variable

$ delchar = $ _ [1]; // take the value to be deleted as an argument

// convert for use in this function

$ c_length = length ($ str); // assign length to variable

$ output = ""; // initialize the variable to be used for the return

for ($ c = 0; $ c <$ c_length; $ c ++) // Handle To The Entered String

{

$ comp = substr ($ str, $ c, 1); // one of the strings entered

// accept character

if ($ comp ne $ delchar) // Check if the character should be deleted

{

$ output = $ output. $ comp; // should not be deleted

// assign only characters to be assigned to variables

}

}

$ output; // variable back to the calling function

}

In this way, the value entered by the user is compared with the number field of the previously built database, and if it matches, the domain name of the record is returned. For example, if the entered data is 561-756, first, 561756, which deletes the space and '-' character, is used as a search word and compared with the number field of the already built database. Comparison can be done by searching the records one by one from the beginning of the record and binary searching by comparing with the median. In the present invention, since the test environment, a sequential search method was used. The important part of this method is described in Perl language.

open HAND, "data.db"; // The file used as database is data.db

// HAND is used as the file handle.

end: // mark the exit as it exits the loop

while (3> 0) {// Set the loop to continue.

read HAND, $ all_string, 200; // read data from file.

$ one_line = index ($ all_string, "＼n"); // to separate records

// Return the length of the first record.

$ comp_name = substr ($ all_string, 0,32); // in record

// extract number field

$ comp_name = & del_string ($ comp_name, $ del);

// remove spaces from the extracted number field

if ($ m_name eq $ comp_name) // compare with user input

{

$ flag_x = 1; // Use the variable $ flag_x as an indication when they are equal.

$ out = substr ($ all_string, 32, $ one_line-32);

// equal to the value entered by the user

// Assign the value of the domain field to the variable $ out.

last end; // exit the loop

}

$ one-line ++; // to indicate the location of the next record

$ one-line ++; // Specify record length including control characters.

$ charcount + = $ one_line; // position the next record in the file

// Determine the size to move forward to specify.

seek HAND, $ charcount, 0; // advance to next record position.

if (eof HAND) // check if end of file

{

last end; // break out of loop

}

}

For example, if the value entered in such a program is 561756, http://www.chonbuk.ac.kr is returned in $ out in the above program, so that the value required to directly connect to the website can be obtained.

Step 3: Link to Homepage after Search Results

If the data obtained in step 2 is identical, the value of the variable $ flag_x becomes "1". Therefore, if you connect directly to the homepage under this condition, the process of 3 steps is over. If this is implemented using Perl language, it is as follows.

if ($ flag_x> 0) // the data entered by the user

{// Condition when number field value match.

print "Location: $ out＼n＼n"; // link to homepage.

}

If there is no match, it prints the message "There is no matching data" and prints a form that can be input from the user. If this is implemented in Perl language, it is as follows.

print "Content-Type: text / html＼n＼n";

// header section for text sentence output

print '<center> <font color = "red">';

print "There is no match. Please try again.";

print "</ font> <br>";

print '<form method = "POST" action = scripts / s.pl>';

print "Enter the number to connect to:";

print '<input name = "number" type = "TEXT" size = "30,1">';

print '<input type = "SUBMIT" value = "connection">';

print "</ center>";

According to the present invention, it is possible to access a desired homepage by using only the number of the existing landline telephone number, mobile telephone number, zip code, zip code + address, without using letters. This method is very useful when used in systems where the input is limited to numbers, such as television, to help spread the Internet.

Claims (1)

When you come directly to the website where the program is located and directly connect to the data entered by the user, the landline phone including the area code will work for devices that can only be input numerically, such as television, in the past. How to use your number, mobile number, postal code, zip code + address.
