Management Method of Domain Name Using Setting by User}

The present invention relates to a method for managing a domain name by an individual user, wherein the client computer names the favorite Internet domain name (URL) by combining only the letters, special characters, numbers, or simple initials that are easily recognized by the user. The present invention relates to a user-configurable domain name management method that allows a user to access a website using only a keyword set through the address input window.

In general, the Internet is composed of a system that can be accessed anytime and anywhere if only the IP (Internet Protocol) address (currently IPv6 address system) of the other party wants to connect to a huge network connecting all computers and websites of the huge world.

Here, the IP address can be a number from 0 to 255 for each number separated by a dot, and the address represented by the number is used so as not to be duplicated worldwide. These addresses, represented by numbers, are called Internet public IP addresses.

However, when Internet users use these numerical addresses for communication with other computers, they are difficult to understand, difficult to remember, and cumbersome, so that they can be used in English instead of numeric addresses. It was.

Addresses written in English are composed of English words that we use in real life so that Internet users can conveniently communicate with other computers. The address expressed in English letters is divided into dots and consists of several steps.

For example, "yahoo.com" or "yahoo.co.kr", each of which is divided into steps 1 and 2 from the far right. It is called a format and is used as a unique address that does not overlap worldwide. This is called a domain name. Internet domain names enable communication with any computer connected to the Internet.

This convenient connection requires a separate device that performs the function of matching the domain name of the web hosting company that executes the web hosting service, which is called a "domain name server (DNS)".

In general, domain names should be set up so that users can easily access them according to well-known company names or certain rules. It is a huge expense to announce the domain name well. In particular, such addresses in English are relatively far from non-English speaking countries and children or elderly people who lack awareness of English.

Recently, the Hangeul domain service, which is constructed as a domain name server, has been implemented. It is difficult to remember because it is a uniform, immutable, and proper noun, and it takes a long time to input a domain name.

1 is a flowchart of a website access process using a Korean domain name according to the prior art, in which an address input window includes "http://211.239.112.195", "http://www.encar.com" or "http: / / Enka "to get to the website.

However, this is a problem that it is not easy to input correctly or is difficult to remember because only a simple and predetermined address must be input.

The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the purpose of which is not only the client computer, but also the domain name of the user's favorite Internet domain name (Uniform Resource Locator: abbreviated as 'URL' hereinafter)) User-configurable domain name management method for naming keywords by combining Korean, English, special characters, numbers or simple initials that users can easily recognize, and accessing the website with keywords set by the user through the address input window later. In providing.

The user-configurable domain name management process according to the present invention for achieving the object of the present invention is a URL DB server of the domain name management server when the information input in the address input window of the web browser of the client computer connected to the Internet is a URL keyword. A method of connecting a website by a keyword to connect a web site of a URL address corresponding to the keyword by searching for the URL of the URL address corresponding to a keyword entered in an address input window of a web browser of the client computer. A first step of searching for a presence in a client URL DB of the client computer; a second step of connecting to a website of the URL address if the URL address is present in the client URL DB of the client computer; If the URL address does not exist in the client URL DB, the domain name is A third step of accessing the server to the URL DB server of the domain name management server; and if a URL address corresponding to the keyword exists, connecting to the website of the URL and providing the URL address data to the client computer. A fourth step of providing a search URL list to the client computer after a keyword search through an integrated search engine if the URL address corresponding to the keyword does not exist in the URL DB server, and the domain name management server A sixth step of simultaneously storing the URL address and the corresponding keyword provided from the URL DB server or the integrated search engine in the client URL DB and the user DB of the domain name management server; And a seventh process of displaying the corresponding homepage.
