Description

Internet address system using number and the method therefor}

The present invention improves the existing method of always using the Internet address as a character when connecting to a server of the Internet on an Internet application that receives an Internet address, thereby converting the Internet address so that the Internet address can be used only by numbers. An internet address system using numbers, and a method thereof, which enable internet navigation using numbers.

One of the most rapid developments with the development of information and communication is wireless communication through the Internet and personal mobile terminals. The Internet is now evolving into an indispensable element beyond improving the quality of life, and moreover, technologies that use the Internet wirelessly and a combination of TV and the Internet through personal portable terminals are being commercialized or developed.

Currently, the Internet address divides a number of Internet servers on the Internet by using a URL (Uniform Resource Locator). When accessing the Internet, an Internet address uses a letter or a combination of letters and numbers. The separator is in the middle.

However, such a notation method is not able to represent the server by the number, and furthermore, the input device has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to freely input an address by accessing the Internet using a TV remote control, a mobile phone, a telephone, etc., which do not support dot.

In addition, since only a limited input space is provided to the portable telephone or the like, the number of input keys is very small, and therefore, a plurality of input values are set together in one input key. Therefore, the input of characters is relatively complicated, which makes it difficult to input.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art and to solve the technical problems that have been requested from the past.

That is, an object of the present invention is to improve the conventional Internet applications that use only letters in the Internet address, so that it is possible to input the Internet address only by the use of numbers, and thus can be directly connected to the desired Internet server and such To provide a way.

In order to achieve this purpose, the Internet address system using numbers in the present invention,

An address input unit for inputting a numerical address for a user to access a desired Internet site on the Internet;

An internet application providing an input window and a screen for inputting an address from the address input unit;

A domain name converter which determines whether the input address is a number and searches a name table when the number is a number, and queries a domain name server with an Internet address matching the number;

A name table having numbers entered as internet addresses and actual internet address information; And

And a domain name server providing a corresponding IP address in the query of the domain name converter.

Therefore, when the system of the present invention receives an Internet address consisting of numbers only in the Internet address field, the system converts it into an Internet address through a name table. In the example of entering the address numerically in the browser, if you enter ″ 0 ″ to connect to the Blue House, Internet applications will query the domain name translator to scan the contents of the name table, so that ″ 0 ″ will be associated with the ″ Blue House ″. If there is a match, it is passed to the application so that the user knows that ″ 0 ″ is the blue house, and when the input key is hit it is replaced with the ″ blue house ″ URL to enable Internet navigation.

Even while a series of inputs are made at the address input unit, the domain name converter may allow the Internet application program to display a matching name in the name table.

The name table may include at least a numeric domain, a name, and an internet address field.

The numeric domain of the name table may be assigned by the application and may include numbers that may be used in connection with an individual's telephone number, meaningful number, or postal code.

Preferably, the name table is configured to be downloaded through the Internet when changed.

The present invention also relates to a method of using internet addresses using numbers based on such a system. Specifically,

An internet address input step of a user inputting an internet address through an input device;

Checking whether the value of the Internet address consists only of numbers or characters, and if the number is a number, goes to the Internet address conversion step, and if it contains a character, branches to the Internet address access step;

An internet address conversion step of retrieving the internet address value from the name table and converting the Internet address value into a corresponding internet address; And

It is characterized in that it comprises an Internet network address access step of receiving an Internet address and querying a domain name server to obtain an IP address.

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of the present invention is not limited by the following examples.

1 is a conceptual diagram of an Internet address system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the Internet application receiving an Internet address, a conventional method of inputting a text Internet address before accessing an Internet server is improved. Thus, a technical configuration of a numerical Internet address translation is shown schematically to enable the Internet to navigate by number.

When the address input unit 100 transmits a number input from an input means using a number such as a remote controller, a keyboard, a keypad, and a phone to the Internet application 110, the Internet application 110 performs an operation of the domain name converter 120. Cause. The domain name converter 120 continuously scans the name table 130 based on a series of input numbers, and displays the name of the address on the screen if there is a match.

In addition, even while a series of inputs are performed in the address input unit 100, the domain name converter 120 may display the matching names in the name table 130 to the Internet application 110. For example, when the user actually wants to access the personal homepage of ″ 1145511 ″, when ″ 1 ″ appears in the input process, ″ line part ″ appears in the URL of the screen, disappears at ″ 11 ″, and is ″ 114 ″. When ″ Guide ″ appears, and when ″ 1145511 ″ is entered, the name ″ Hong Gil Dong ″ of the person you are looking for will appear on the screen. At this time, when the key (″ Enter key ″) corresponding to the input key is pressed, the Internet address of ″ Hong Gil Dong ″ is found in the name table 130, and the domain name converter 120 searches the Internet address, for example, ″ www.hongkildong. .pe.kr "to query the domain name server 140. Therefore, the domain name server 140 is to return the IP address of the corresponding Internet address, through which the Internet can navigate.

One exemplary structure of the name table is shown in FIG. 2, which includes a ″ numeric domain ″ and ″ name ″ and ″ Internet address field ″.

The supply of the name table may be serviced by being located on a specific server online, or may be downloaded and provided from a specific server, or in some cases, supplied offline. The way it is downloaded can also be automatically downloaded whenever the name table changes.

The name table may be registered at a server that manages a particular Internet numeric domain.

A ″ numeric domain ″ can be much more effective when associated with meaningful numbers. For example, ″ 114 ″ can be easily memorized by the telephone number guide of ″ Korea Telecom ″, and it is convenient to associate an individual's telephone number with their homepage numeric domain.

3 is a step diagram of a method of using an internet address using numbers. Referring to this, the user inputs an internet address through an input device (S100), and whether the value of the internet address is composed of numbers only. If it is a number and if it is a number, if the Internet address translation step, if it contains a character, if the Internet address verification step (S110) branching to the Internet address access step, if the Internet address value consists only of numbers, this is the name table Internet address conversion step (S120) of searching for and converting to a corresponding Internet address, and receiving an Internet address and querying a domain name server, the Internet network address access step (S130).

If there is no number in the name table in the Internet address translation step, the virtual page is virtually converted and is connected to the Internet network, thereby providing an error page.

Those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications and applications within the scope of the present invention based on the above contents.

The Internet address system using the numbers of the present invention can directly access the Internet server through the input device of the remote control, the mobile phone, and the telephone by using only the numbers, and can avoid the inconvenience of the conventional text input. In addition, the user has the advantage of easily visiting the desired website through the associated number.
