Abstract

An E-mail address processing system and an E-mail address processing method capable of processing a native language E-mail address, and a recording medium recording a program for implementing the same are provided to process a character string inputted to an address window, thereby using the native language E-mail address formed in the form of a native language inputted to the address window without being subordinate to a DNS(Domain Name Server) server(local DNS server). An E-mail address processing system comprises an E-mail address processing server DB(180), an E-mail address information DB(220), a relaying server(160), and an E-mail address processing server(200). The E-mail address processing server DB stores the URL(Uniform Resource Locator) or IP(Internet Protocol) address of the E-mail address processing server. The E-mail address information DB matches and stores a native language E-mail address and an English E-mail address. The relaying server determines native language E-mail address according as the characteristic part of the E-mail address is included in an inquiring massage received from a client terminal. And the relaying server extracts the URL or IP address of the E-mail address processing server from the E-mail address processing server DB is when the determined E-mail address is the native language E-mail address. The relaying server sends back the extracted URL or IP address to the client terminal. The E-mail address processing server receives a query including an input string from the client terminal. And the E-mail address processing server searches finds the English E-mail address matched for the input string in the E-mail address information DB and provides an E-mail service circumstance including the English E-mail address information to the client terminal.

7 is a flowchart of a method for processing a native language email address according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a method for processing a native language email address entered in an address bar, and more particularly, to process a native language email address using a connection message sent to a predetermined relay server connected using a DNS suffix as part of an Internet address. It is about a method.

In general, in order to use E-mail, you must use a separate mail client program or access the web mail providing site. However, if the computer is not normally used, install and install the program to use the mail client program. In order to use the web mail, it is necessary to set up, and there are troublesome and inconvenient problems because the user has to go through various steps such as accessing a site, logging in, accessing a mail menu, and selecting a send.

On the other hand, in general, the value entered in the address bar of the web browser is transferred to the domain name service server (DNS server) for processing, but the input value is not in the form of an English domain such as www.kipo.go.kr or an IP address such as 152.99.202.101. Cannot be processed. Therefore, in order to process input values that are not in the form of domains or IP addresses, a method such as installing a plug-in program on the user terminal must be used.

However, the prior art as described above has some problems.

First, when a plug-in program according to the prior art is installed in a client terminal, the OS of the client terminal hooks before processing the corresponding character string to determine whether it is in a domain form. Will be sent. This method has a problem that the corresponding program is complicated by forcibly changing the connection word processing procedure. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a way to handle non-domain input without installing a plug-in program.

In addition, the existing OS may be configured in such a way that it does not pass its input connection word to the DNS server at all (eg, it is not a fully qualified domain name). There is a problem in that it is impossible to process the input. For example, in Internet Explorer 7.0, if a DNS query fails (in case of an unqualified domain name), it is changed to a search expression such as search.msn.com and sent to the search server, and the domain name service server does not forward the connection word. It consists of. Therefore, in such a case, if a plug-in program for processing an input other than the existing domain type is not installed, there is a problem in that there is no way to use the input other than the existing domain type.

On the other hand, there is an application 2006-0137501 filed and unpublished by the present applicant for the purpose of solving this problem. This approach is about checking if there is a suffix in the suffix database that matches the suffix contained in the string passed from the client module, and then processing the match.

This method has many advantages over the prior art, but it is not a method that can satisfy all the various needs of operators such as Internet service providers and name servers.

For example, the above-described method requires a proxy module or the like to be installed in a DNS server (local DNS server), so that modification or change of the DNS server (local DNS server) is not possible or inconvenient. There is a problem that the service is dependent on the DNS server (local DNS server).

Due to these problems, new methods for processing inputs that are not existing domain types are still required according to various systems.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is to enable the processing of the string entered in the address bar without installing a separate program on the client terminal or modifying, changing the DNS server (local DNS server) It aims to provide a way to enable easy-to-remember local language email addresses in the form of 'native language @ native language' entered in the address bar without being dependent on the DNS server (local DNS server).

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a page of a web site together with an e-mail when an e-mail address is entered in a web browser address bar of a client terminal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily implement the technical idea of the present invention. In the detailed description of the present invention, a function of dividing into a server, a client terminal, and the like is described. However, these functions may be performed by other components as necessary.

1 is an overall configuration diagram of a native language email address processing system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the client terminal 100 is connected to a domain name service server (DNS server) 140 and an email address processing server 200, respectively. In addition, the email address processing server 200 is connected to the email address information database (email address information DB) 220, and the DNS server 140 is connected to the relay server 160.

This embodiment is a web page for sending an e-mail when a local language e-mail address (for example, 'Hong Gil-dong @ mail' type) is input to the address bar (or search box) of the web browser of the client terminal 100. To handle the connection.

When the client terminal 100 transmits a query message including a string to the DNS server 140, the DNS server 140 performs the resolution using the query message according to a general resolution procedure. This is to obtain a URL or IP corresponding to the inquiry message by resolution and deliver it to the client terminal 100.

In this embodiment, the DNS server 140 sends a query to the relay server 160 using the suffix included in the string during the resolution process. The relay server 160 transmits the query to the local language email address when the query is delivered. It will be judged. This is described in more detail later.

 When the client terminal 100 requests a resolution by delivering a query message, the DNS server 140 first requests data from a root name server (not shown). In this case, the DNS server 140 requests the client terminal. The root name server and its subordinate name servers are repeatedly queried until (100) produces the desired result. For example, when the client terminal 100 queries www.abc.com, the DNS server 140 queries the root name server (not shown) for a name server corresponding to '.com', and DNS The server 140 queries the address of the '.abc.com' name server to the first lower name server managing '.com' corresponding to the query result value received from the root name server (not shown). Then, the first sub name server informs the DNS server 140 of the IP of the second sub name server managing '.abc.com', and the DNS server 140 accesses the second sub name server 'www. Obtain IP information of abc.com 'and deliver it to the client terminal 100.

In this embodiment, the query is transmitted to the relay server 160 using the suffix as a part of the Internet address in a resolution method of the general DNS server 140.

The suffix may be set manually by a user, a method of setting a client terminal using a DHCP server, or a method of setting using a terminal setting change program. When such a setting is made, the suffix is inserted into the input string when a predetermined condition is satisfied by the web browser or the operating system. For example, the "DNS suffix" feature, which is available in commercially available operating systems such as DOS, Linux, Windows 3.0, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, allows you to predefine a string when the text is entered into the browser. You can insert the "suffix" of.

The inserted "suffix" serves to enable the DNS server 140 to send a query to the relay server 160. For example, when "suffix" is set to "nlias.net", when the string input to the client terminal 100 satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, a keyword), a suffix is added and transmitted, and the DNS server 140 sends a query to the relay server 160 of "nlias.net" by a general resolution query process.

On the other hand, the suffix can be assigned to the Internet service provider (ISP), the service delimiter according to the program type, the separator according to the region, language. In one preferred form, the suffix has the form "service separator. Relay server domain", for example, "1.nlias.net", "2.nlias.net", "kt.nlias.net", and the like. . The service delimiter can be set differently according to the type of the terminal setting program to add the name and suffix for each carrier. According to another preferred form, the suffix has the form "local / language separator. Relay server domain", for example "kr.nlias.net", "jp.nlias.net", and the like.

 In the client terminal 100, a method of adding a predetermined suffix to a keyword is preferable. The client terminal 100 is, for example, by its own function of the web browser "." If it is not a general URL form through the determination of whether or not, such as the normalized name can be suffixed (for example, the "DNS Suffix" function described above), such a function can be utilized. In a specific manner of adding a suffix, the predetermined suffix may be added to the client terminal 100 in the process of assigning IP through DHCP by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.

According to another method, the terminal configuration program may be configured to assign a specific suffix to the client terminal 100 while changing the terminal configuration. The suffix may be given differently for each terminal configuration program or for a group of a plurality of terminal configuration programs. According to another method, the user may change the setting of his or her client terminal 100 to add a suffix.

On the other hand, the non-ASCII value can be delivered by adding a suffix in the same manner when the browser converts the non-ASCII value into a punycode. Punicode is a method of converting non-ASCII code characters into ASCII code characters of the form xn--BCQTESQRF so that non-ASCII characters can be used in existing Internet schemes based on ASCII codes.

(Relay server)

Hereinafter, the relay server will be described in detail. When the relay server 160 receives the query, the relay server 160 processes the received query. The method may be as follows.

First, in a first manner, the relay server 160 includes an email address processing server DB 180 that stores a URL or an IP address of an email address processing server, and receives an inquiry from the client terminal 100. After extracting the URL or IP address of the processing server 200 and sends it to the client terminal (100).

In this case, the relay server 160 determines all keywords as keywords when the query is delivered, and checks whether an email address feature exists in the query message, and determines that the email address feature is a native language email address.

Preferably, the feature indicating the email address may be a '@' character that distinguishes the ID part from the host part in the general email address, and the ID information of the email address may be determined by the 'Authorization' header information or the like included in the access message. Can be. 'Authorization' header information is the part in which the information of the ID part before '@' is stored in the input of the e-mail address type. When the input of the e-mail address type is not processed as the input value, it is divided and processed based on the '@' part. The host part after '@' is displayed in 'Host' header information, and the ID part in front of '@' is displayed in 'Authorization' header information. Therefore, if there is 'Authoriztion' header information, it can be determined that the input is in the form of an e-mail address. On the other hand, when the input value of the e-mail address is processed as it is, 'Auhorization' header information is not used. In this case, it is determined whether the e-mail address is confirmed by checking whether the '@' character is included in the input string.

In a second manner, the relay server 160 includes a keyword processing server DB (not shown) that stores the URL or IP address of the keyword processing server, and is set by a program, a user, or a DHCP server operating in a client terminal. When the suffix is used as a part of the Internet address, the relay server 160 is connected to receive the query to which the set suffix is added to the input string from the client terminal 100, and the relay server 160 receives the keyword processing server from the keyword processing server DB. After extracting the URL or IP address (not shown), it is returned to the client terminal.

After receiving the query message from the client terminal, the keyword processing server determines whether the query message has an e-mail address feature to determine whether it is a native language email address, and if it is a native language email address, the client processes the URL or IP address of the email address processing server. It will respond to the terminal.

If the query message received from the client terminal does not include an e-mail address feature, it is not a native language e-mail address. Therefore, the processing for the native language e-mail address is no longer performed, and it is preferable to go through the processing as a keyword.

Meanwhile, when the transmitted data is queried in the form of "keyword (string). Delimiter. Relay server domain", the relay server 160 may add various functions using the delimiter part.

The delimiter portion set differently for each group of DHCP servers or terminal configuration programs can be used to determine the service provider, through which statistics can be used for each suffix and used to distribute revenue by providing services or advertisements. Other types of interfaces or extended services can be provided.

(Email address processing server)

When the relay server 160 responds to the client terminal 100 with the Internet address of the email address processing server 200, the client terminal 100 accesses the email address processing server 200.

The e-mail address processing server 200 searches for an English e-mail address corresponding to a string input from the e-mail address information DB 220 which matches and stores the national e-mail address and the English e-mail address.

String Email address Gil-Dong Hong @ Attorney at Law Honggildong@hanmail.net Gil-dong @ Korea Kimgildong@korea.com Gil-dong Chung @ Samsung Electronics Jeonggildong@samsung.com Gil-Dong Lee @ Seoul National University Leegildong@snu.ac.kr Hwang Gil-dong @ Army Hwanggildong@hanmail.net beauty @ lawyer Jeraser@lawyer.co.kr girl @ aaa hufgs@yahoo.co.kr

An example of the email address information DB 220 is shown in the above table. The email address information DB 220 has a one-to-one correspondence of English email addresses for each character string. Therefore, the email address processing server 200 searches for the email address information DB 220 when the string is delivered, finds the English email address corresponding thereto, and automatically inputs the searched English email address to the email service page. In this case, the English email address may be automatically entered as a sender or a recipient.

The email address processing server 200 compares the received string with email address information registered in advance in the email address information DB 220, and delivers an email service page to the client terminal when email address information corresponding to the string exists. If the string received from the client terminal does not exist in the email address information DB, the email address information similar to the string may be searched for and displayed on the client terminal in a drop down method.

On the other hand, if the input string is an email address, it is also possible to provide an email service environment for sending an email and to provide a web page corresponding to the email address. In this case, it is preferable to implement each character string by linking to a designated site for each user's email address. In other words, the designated sites for individual addresses correspond to each character string, and if it is determined to be an email address depending on the presence or absence of a @ character string input in the Internet address bar, it connects to the designated site. This way, for example, Hong Gil-dong Cyworld, Gang Gil-dong Cyworld, etc., the strings following the @ can be used in common, and the individual characters can be matched as the string before the @ changes. It is similar to Cyworld Mini Homepy. On the other hand, there is no individual designation site corresponding to the input string, and if there is a homepage corresponding to the string following @, it may be configured to connect to this homepage.

On the other hand, if there is no home page corresponding to the input string, a web search result for a part of the input string, for example, a string (host) after the @ and a string (ID) located at the front end, searches for a similar email address. Results and the like.

Alternatively, the email service environment and the website may be provided together using separate windows or split screens.

2 is a screen illustrating an example of providing an email service according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2, a separate window is divided into two, one window is connected to a corresponding homepage, and the other window is provided with an email service environment or an integrated service environment. If "Jo Young-hwan @ Attorney" is entered in the Internet address bar, an email service page or an integrated service environment is provided in Area A, and a web page corresponding to "Jo Young-hwan @ Attorney" is provided in Area B. The integrated service environment will be described later in detail.

Hereinafter, a case of providing an additional service (integrated service) other than providing an email service will be described.

If the character string from the client terminal is an email address, among the email service for sending an email, a text message service for sending a text message to the recipient of the string, and a fax service for fax transmission to the recipient of the string, A method of providing a service environment including any one to the client terminal 100. Only one such service environment may be provided, and an integrated service environment may be provided by selectively providing two or more services together.

When the email address processing server 200 receives the character string from the client terminal 100, for the purpose of selectively performing e-mail, text message or fax transmission to the recipient (or sender) based on the received character string, for example. In addition to the integrated service environment, a method of transmitting the network address preset in the corresponding string to the client terminal 100 may be used.

In addition, the email address processing server 200 may receive the selected integrated service performance data from the client terminal 100 to determine whether the service is an email, a text message or a fax transmission service, and deliver the data to the corresponding service server to perform the corresponding service.

On the other hand, the email address processing server 200 compares the string received from the client terminal 100 with the email address information registered in advance in the integrated service information DB, if there is an email address information corresponding to the string integrated service environment Is transmitted to the client terminal 100, and if the string received from the client terminal does not exist in the integrated service information DB, the email address information list of the drop-down method to the client terminal 100 is searched for by searching the email address information similar to the string. Can also be displayed.

At this time, in the integrated service information DB, personal information (eg, a fax number, a mobile phone number, an IP, a URL, etc.) of members for each registered email address is stored in a database. For example, a phone, fax, and site address may be stored in a 1: 1 manner for an access word "Hong Gil-dong @ Korea", and IDs such as Hong Gil-dong, Hong Gil-soon, and Gap-dok are stored under each host name of "Korea". Phone, fax or site addresses may be specified. In this case, the latter process is hierarchically, such as finding the server corresponding to 'Korea' first, and then finding each ID. If the phone, fax, or site address is not specified for each ID, the upper value 'Korea' is used. You can also make sure that the specified phone, fax, and site address values apply.

The integrated service information DB used a different expression from the email address information DB 220 to distinguish its functions, but may be built together in the email address information DB 220.

3A to 3C show an example of an integrated service environment. This integrated service environment is a case where a separate window is divided into two windows, one window is connected to a corresponding homepage, and the other window is provided with an integrated service environment where services such as text messages and faxes can be provided.

Here, in the integrated service environment, a service description that displays a brief description of the e-mail address corresponding to the string (for example, Mr. Cho Young-hwan's mailbox) and a recent announcement provided by the e-mail address processing server (e.g., Korean e) A notification display unit displaying e-mail to an e-mail address, an integrated service selection menu unit for selectively performing e-mail, text message or fax transmission, and a service for performing this service according to the service menu selected through the selection menu unit It is configured to include a performer (see Figs. 3a to 3c).

Referring to FIG. 3A, when an e-mail service is selected in the selection menu unit, basic service menus (eg, mail subject, sender, e-mail editor) for sending a normal mail to the service execution unit as the recipient of the connection word. , Attachment selection, etc.) is displayed.

Referring to FIG. 3B, when a text message is selected in the selection menu unit, basic service menus (eg, text message input window, special character) for sending a normal text message to the service performing unit as a recipient of the corresponding connection word are shown. Selection window, etc.) is displayed.

Referring to FIG. 3C, when a fax transmission service is selected in the selection menu unit, basic service menus (eg, fax title and transmission) for sending a fax through a normal Internet as a recipient of the connection word in the service execution unit. File selection window, etc.) is displayed.

Next, when the terminal environment setting program changes the terminal environment setting, and assigns IP to a DHCP server, the client terminal 100 adds a suffix of a desired form to the character string in advance. The case of setting is set as an example.

(Terminal preference program changes terminal preferences)

The terminal environment setting program may be installed together with another program such as a toolbar, for example, or may include a case of changing the setting of the terminal environment in the client terminal 100 as a function of another program. The specific way in which the terminal environment setting program is installed in the client terminal 100 is not particularly limited and may be performed in various ways. For example, the terminal environment setting program may be configured to be downloaded from the e-mail address processing server 200 or a specific website.

The terminal configuration program performs a function of assigning a predetermined DNS suffix to the client terminal 100. For example, the terminal configuration program may assign a DNS suffix such as “nlias.net”. As described above, the "DNS suffix" may be added by utilizing OS functions (functions) such as DOS, Linux, Windows 3.0, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, which are commercially available products.

4A and 4B show an example of a network setting confirmation screen of Windows XP when the DNS suffix ("nlias.net") is not set and when it is set. In FIG. 4A, there is no corresponding "Connection-specific DNS Suffix", and in FIG. 4B, the corresponding "Connection-specific DNS Suffix" is set to "nlias.net". On the other hand, in the case of Windows XP, the DNS suffix refers to both the primary DNS suffix, the connecting DNS suffix, and the DNS suffix entered in the suffix search list.

DNS suffix lookup in the OS is performed only when the DNS name entry is not a fully qualified name. Thus, a short name that is not fully qualified in the form of a standard URL is added, and a suffix creates a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). "Fully Qualified Domain Name" means the domain name including the final host name in the namespace hierarchy. It is classified as www.yahoo.com (FQDN), www (host name), or yahoo.com (domain name).

 For reference, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7.0 does not set the DNS suffix if it is set to search. If the DNS suffix is set, the DNS suffix set as the domain name service server is set. It is delivered by adding. Therefore, by using such a function, it is possible to reliably transfer the string input to the DNS server.

On the other hand, an example of the source code for giving the DNS suffix to the client terminal using the terminal configuration program is shown below. In this source code, the DNS suffix is assigned by using a value input method in the registry. In the following source code, 'char domain_name [12] = "nlias.net"' corresponds to the DNS suffix ("nlias.net") set in the registry.

RegOpenKey (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, (LPCTSTR) strKey, &hResult); // open the registry key

RegSetValueEx (hResult, (LPCTSTR) “NameServer”, 0, 1, (CONST BYTE *) regPostset, strlen (regPostset) +1);

RegSetValueEx (hResult, (LPCTSTR) "EnableDNS", 0, 1, (CONST BYTE *) use_dns, 2); // write down Domain

char domain_name [12] = "nlias.net";

RegSetValueEx (hResult, (LPCTSTR) "Domain", 0, 1, (CONST BYTE *) domain_name, 11);

RegCloseKey (hResult);

HKEY hIE;

RegOpenKey (HKEY_CURRENT_USER, (LPCTSTR) strIE, &hIE); // open the registry key

RegSetValueEx (hIE, (LPCTSTR) "UrlEncoding", 0, REG_DWORD, (BYTE *) & ie_encoding, 4);

RegCloseKey (hIE);

(How to assign IP to DHCP server)

On the other hand, when assigning IP to each client terminal from the Internet service provider (Internet Service Provider) to the DHCP server may be used to add a DNS suffix. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a national language email address processing system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and includes a DHCP server 150.

In general, when the client terminal 100 receives an IP using the DHCP server 150 from an Internet service provider, network data includes the client terminal IP address, a subnet mask, a DNS suffix, a gateway, a DNS server IP, and the like. In this case, the DNS suffix is given to a predetermined string such as "nlias.net". According to this method, the DNS suffix can be easily given to the client terminal 100 without setting the terminal configuration program separately. The manner of using the added DNS suffix is as described above.

(How to set manually)

Meanwhile, the DNS suffix may be set manually by the user in the client terminal. 6 shows an example screen for setting a DNS suffix at the client terminal.

FIG. 6 shows a method of setting a DNS suffix using, for example, a DNS suffix function of a commercially available Internet Explorer 6.0 web browser of Microsoft Corporation.

Next, Fig. 7 is a flow chart of a native language email address system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 7, first, a domain (eg, nlias.net) of the relay server 160 is added as a suffix (S101). At this time, the suffix may be added to the separator other than the domain of the relay server 160 as described above. This is to allow a DNS server to query (connect) to a specific relay server 160 using a suffix when querying in a general resolution method. That is, a query is transmitted to the relay server 160 using a suffix set by a program, a user, or a DHCP server operating in the client terminal as part of the Internet address.

When a character string is input in the web browser address window of the client terminal 100 (S103), the client terminal 100 transmits a query message to the DNS server 140 by adding the above-mentioned suffix in some cases. The DNS server 140, which has received this, performs the resolution (S105).

The process of adding the suffix by the client terminal 100 is performed by a function basically set in the OS, for example. In other words, if it is determined that the input string is a fully qualified name or not, the OS checks whether a function called DNS suffix is set, and if so, adds the set DNS suffix to the DNS server. As described above, the DNS suffix may use a function generally inserted into the OS. In the present invention, the DNS suffix may be used to process a native language e-mail address at the OS level.

In other words, in the general OS such as Windows XP, if it is determined that it is not a fully qualified name form, it is added to the DNS server by adding a DNS suffix. To pass.

Next, the query is transmitted to the relay server 160 due to the added suffix, so that the relay server 160 receives the query (S107).

Receiving the query, the relay server 160 checks whether the email address feature exists in the query message, and if there is an email address feature, determines that it is a native language email address (S109). The Internet address of 200 is replied to the client terminal 100 (S111).

At this time, whether or not the national language email address is determined by the relay server 160, but the relay server 160 determines all the inputs as a keyword, and responds to the URL or IP address of the keyword processing server, and the email is processed by the keyword processing server. It is also possible to determine whether the native language e-mail address is present through the presence of an address feature, and in the case of the native language e-mail address, respond to the URL or IP address of the e-mail address processing server.

The client terminal 100 receiving the Internet address accesses the email address processing server 200 using the email address processing server DB 182 storing the URL or IP address of the email address processing server 200 (S113). ).

First, when the relay server 160 connects the client terminal 100 to the email address processing server 200 in response to the Internet address of the email address processing server 200, the email address processing server 200 ) Finds an English email address corresponding to the input string using the email address information DB 210 and transmits the email service environment to the client terminal 100.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, when the plug-in program installed in the client terminal is inputted into the registry in the method of granting the DNS suffix to the client terminal, the ISP is assigned together with the IP when the IP is assigned to each client terminal by DHCP. Although the description is limited to the case, various other methods, such as a method in which a client terminal user sets the method in a passive manner, are applicable.

Although the technical spirit of the present invention has been described in detail according to the above-described preferred embodiment, it should be noted that the above-described embodiment is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. In addition, those skilled in the art will understand that various embodiments are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

According to the present invention, the text input in the address bar can function as a native language email address while utilizing the functions of the web browser or the OS as it is. In particular, when the string entered in the address bar is not a URL or an IP address, a particular web browser or OS may not send the string to the DNS server. In this case, the string may be sent to the DNS server so that it can function as a local language email address. Can be.

In addition, since there is no need to modify or change the DNS server (local DNS server), it is easy to manage the system for the local language email address service, and various modifications are possible without being dependent on the DNS server (local DNS server). As the category expands, various alliances are possible.

According to the present invention, when the e-mail address is input in the web browser address bar of the client terminal, a page of the web site may be provided together with the e-mail.

In addition, the present invention can provide various types of services such as SMS, fax, etc. in addition to e-mail when the e-mail address is input in the web browser address window of the client terminal.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, according to a method of adding a suffix by a specific suffixing method by a DHCP server of an ISP or by a manual setting, a string input in an address window is transmitted to a local language email address without installing a separate program on a client terminal. It can be processed to function, and the service can be classified by the suffix for each service provider name, type of terminal setting program to which the suffix is added, region, and language.
