At this time, any one or more of a telephone number and an IP address may be allocated to the telephone number domain in a relationship of N: 1 (N = 1, 2, 3 ...). That is, one phone number or IP address is assigned to the phone number domain so that one or more of a phone number and an IP address may be allocated one-to-one (1: 1) to the phone number domain. By assigning one telephone number or IP address to the telephone number domain, one or more of the telephone number and IP address may be allocated to many-to-one (2: 1, 3: 1, etc.). If one or more of a phone number and an IP address are assigned in a one-to-one relationship to a phone number domain, a plurality of phone number domains are linked to one phone number, so that a user can have multiple numbers for one phone number. It is possible to use two telephone number domains, and as a result, to have multiple identifiable telephone number domains for one telephone number. Therefore, a plurality of telephone number domains can be used for each purpose.

The telephone number domain may be a domain name corresponding to a predetermined telephone number. For example, this telephone number domain may consist of letters, numbers, symbols, combinations thereof, and the like. For example, a mobile user named "Hong Gil-dong" can set a phone number domain that can be associated with the phone number of his mobile terminal as his name or any symbol. Number domain database module 103 is stored. For example, the user may access the phone number domain naming server 100 using his PC or the like to select and store a desired phone number domain.

That is, the telephone number domain and the telephone number or IP address are managed one-to-one or many-to-one (that is, N: 1, N = 1,2,3, ...), and the telephone number domain database module 103 includes the telephone number. The phone number or IP address having a correspondence with the domain is stored.

The telephone number domain management module 101 performs data management such as storing and updating data in the telephone number domain database module 103.

The telephone number domain management module 101 performs data management such as storing and updating data in the telephone number domain database module 103. In this case, the telephone number domain naming server 100 is connected to the central telephone number domain naming server 900 through the Internet 300, and is connected to the telephone number domain based on data received from the central telephone number domain naming server 900.
