The present invention relates to a method for processing a native language email address entered in an address bar, and more particularly, to a method for processing a native language email address using a DNS suffix.

In general, in order to use E-mail, you have to use a separate mail client program or access the web mail providing site and use it. In addition, when accessing the web mail, the user has to go through various steps such as accessing the site, logging in, accessing the mail menu, and selecting sending.

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 in the form of keywords rather than domains or IP addresses, a method such as installing a plug-in program on the user terminal should 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 transmitted to the corresponding search server so that 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.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is to hook the string of the address bar input to process the string input in the address bar without installing a separate program on the client for processing input values other than the existing domain form It aims to provide a way to enable easy-to-remember native language email addresses in the form of 'native language @ native language' in the address bar.

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.

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

Still another object of the present invention is to use a promised suffix when sending a keyword inputted in an address bar to a DNS server so as to efficiently handle whether a native language email address is determined or additional processing.

Still another object of the present invention is to determine whether a keyword is input or a national language email address, and together with a suffix, to determine whether a feature of non-English character input is included, thereby increasing the reliability of the keyword or the national language email address input judgment, and making it possible to use a suffix. Is to broaden the scope of.

First, the meanings of the terms mentioned in the present specification are briefly defined.

"String" is a general term for a group of characters input to a client terminal to access a web page and characters transmitted from the client terminal through a network, and can be input to an address bar or a search box of a web browser, and thus a general URL (kipo. go.kr, Korea Intellectual Property Office, Korea Intellectual Property Office, Korea Patent Office, etc.), non-URL keywords (Hangul, numbers, English, etc.), query expression or characters made or changed in the client terminal means.

"Uniform Resource Locator" refers to the address of various information provided by a computer connected to the Internet. For example, "http://www.kipo.go.kr/kpo2/user.tdf?a=user.main It should be understood as including not only domain names such as .MainApp & catmenu = KIPOHOME "but also directories and files.

"IP (Internet protocol address)" means a physical address for each computer connected to the Internet to identify each other, for example, by protocols such as IPv4 (Internet Protocol version4), IPv6 (Internet Protocol version6) It is promised.

"Keyword" refers to a string that is not in the form of a URL or IP address, and generally refers to a string that does not contain a '.'.

"E-mail address" is a string in which ID and host are input with '@' in between, and includes both English-language email addresses such as "honggildong@mail.com" and native-language email addresses such as "Hong Gil-dong @ mail". .

The first aspect of the present invention is a method for processing a character string input in a web browser address bar of a client terminal, in particular, a national language email address, wherein the suffix set by the client terminal configuration program, the user, or a DHCP server is used as part of the Internet address. A query message receiving step of receiving a query message including the string transmitted to a DNS server by using the query message; An e-mail address determination step of confirming whether the character string is a native language e-mail address by using a suffix, a non-English character input feature, and an e-mail feature included in the query message; And a processing server address forwarding step of transmitting a URL or an IP address of an email address processing server for sending an email using the string to the client terminal when the string is determined to be a native language email address. The address determination step includes a suffix database that stores one or more suffixes for use in a keyword service, and verifies that a suffix that matches the suffix included in the query message exists in the suffix database, thereby suffixing the query message. Is in the suffix database and checks whether the string includes a feature input in a non-English letter and includes a feature input in a non-English letter and the query message is an email address with '@' character or 'Authorization' header information. ID information such as If the feature includes a native language email address unit provides a method of determining the character string into a native language email address.

Preferably, the feature of the non-English character input in the step of determining the e-mail address is a part indicating that the input character is a non-English character (a character of a non-ASCII code such as Korean, Chinese, etc.), and the first bit value of the character is 1. You can see that the characters are in the form of non-alphabetic characters. If you start with xn--, you know that non-alphabetic characters have been entered because the non-alphabetic has been changed to punycode.

In the e-mail address determination step, the processing of suffix confirmation, non-English character input feature, and e-mail feature inclusion check is irrelevant in order, and can be determined at the same time.

Preferably, the suffix included in the query message is given to the client terminal in the process of assigning IP through DHCP by the DHCP server, and the suffix is extended by different DHCP servers or groups of a plurality of DHCP servers. Can be used to provide services.

Preferably, the suffix included in the query message is assigned to the client terminal while the terminal configuration program changes the terminal configuration.

Preferably, the suffix may be different for each terminal configuration program or for a group of a plurality of terminal configuration programs.

Meanwhile, the determining of the email address may include: forwarding the query message to a DNS server when the query message does not have a feature of inputting a non-English letter; And receiving a response from the DNS server, and if the response is an error message, determining the string as a native language email address if the suffix of the suffix database is included and includes an email feature.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in a method of processing a character string input in a web browser address window of a client terminal, in particular, a national language email address, the suffix set by the client terminal configuration program, a user, or a DHCP server is used as a part of the Internet address. A query message receiving step of receiving a query message including the string transmitted to a DNS server by using the query message; A keyword determining step of checking whether the character string is a keyword by using a suffix included in the query message and whether a feature of non-English input is included; And a processing server address forwarding step of transmitting a URL or IP address of a keyword processing server to the client terminal when the character string is determined as a keyword. An access message receiving step of receiving an access message from the client terminal at the keyword processing server; An e-mail address determination step of analyzing the access message and determining that the access message is an e-mail address when the access message includes a feature of an e-mail address; If it is determined that the access message is an email address, it provides an email address processing method comprising the step of responding to the client terminal a service environment for sending an email.

The keyword determining step includes a suffix database that stores one or more suffixes for use in a keyword service, verifies that a suffix that matches the suffix included in the query message exists in the suffix database, and the string is non-zero. If the suffix of the query message exists in the suffix database and includes a feature input in a non-English letter, the character string is determined as a keyword, and the e-mail address determination step is performed. The address feature is preferably ID information of an email address, such as by '@' or 'Authorization' header information.

The third aspect of the present invention is to receive a query message sent to the DNS server using a suffix set by the terminal configuration program, the user, or a DHCP server as a part of the Internet address, the character string entered in the web browser address bar of the client terminal In the processing method, if the character string from the client terminal is a native language email address, providing an email service environment for sending an email and searching for a network address corresponding to at least a portion of the character string included in the email address to the client; Provided to the terminal provides an email service method comprising the step of the user terminal accesses the web page corresponding to the network address.

The method of providing an e-mail service environment and web page access together may be displayed by dividing one window when each is displayed as a separate window.

A fourth aspect of the present invention is a method for receiving and processing a query message transmitted to a DNS server including a suffix of a string input in a web browser address bar of a plurality of client terminals, wherein the string from the client terminal is an email address. The client service environment including any one of an email service for sending an email, a text message service for sending a text message to a recipient of the string, and a fax service for fax transmission to the recipient of the string. The method is provided to the terminal.

A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a recording medium on which a program for executing an email address processing method is recorded.

The method for processing an e-mail address according to the present invention can be implemented with computer readable codes on a computer readable recording medium. Computer-readable recording media include all types of recording devices that store data that can be read by a computer system. For example, a computer-readable recording medium may be a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a hard disk, a floppy disk, a removable storage device, a nonvolatile memory (Flash memory). Optical data storage, and the like, and also implemented in the form of a carrier wave (eg, transmission over the Internet).

In particular, in the case of the present invention, a program for processing an e-mail address may be installed in the client terminal as described above, and is not particularly limited in order to perform the method in the process of being transferred from the client terminal to the domain name service server. It may be stored in a recording medium.

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 service 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 140 and an email address processing server 200, respectively. In addition, the email address processing server 200 is connected to the database 250, the domain name service server (DNS server) 140 is provided with a proxy module 142. 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.

The proxy module 142 is illustrated as being provided inside the domain name service server 140, but in another variation, the proxy module 142 may be provided as a server, a module, or the like on a network path transmitted from the client terminal 100 to the DNS server 140. If it is equipped with the above-mentioned function, it is not specifically limited to the aspect, It is variously applicable. Hereinafter, the description will be limited to the proxy module 142 illustrated in FIG. 1 for convenience of description.

When the client terminal 100 transmits a query message including a string to the DNS server 140, the proxy module 142 determines whether the local language is an email address using a suffix, a non-English alphabet input feature, and an email feature included in the query message. Check whether or not. More specifically, the proxy module 142 has a suffix database that stores one or more suffixes for use in the national language email address service, and verifies that a suffix that matches the suffix contained in the query message exists in the suffix database. do. It also checks whether the query message has features of non-English input, and, as a result of the check, the suffix contained in the query message exists in the suffix database and has the features of non-English input, and the query message is sent to the email feature as' @ The character string is determined as a native language e-mail address when it includes an e-mail feature such as ID information of an e-mail address by 'character or' Authorization 'header information.

Preferably, the feature of the non-English character input in the keyword determination step is a portion indicating that the input character is a non-English character (a character of a non-ASCII code such as Korean, Chinese, etc.), and the character when the first bit value of the character is 1 Can be seen that the non-alphabetic characters are in the form, and if it begins with xn--, the non-alphabetic characters have been entered because the non-alphabetic has been changed to the punycode form of the Internet standard document RFC-3492. Even if the change is made through a change encoding type other than Punicode, it can be checked through the encoding change rules.

In general, in the domain name system, only ASCII codes consisting of alphabets and numbers can be processed. Therefore, input of non-ASCII characters such as Korean and Chinese characters can be inferred that the user inputs to use a general domain.

On the other hand, the suffix verification and non-alphabetic input feature verification steps are irrelevant in the processing order and can be processed simultaneously.

The suffixes stored in the suffix database are reserved for use by the keyword service. For example, suffixes may not be used in the usual DNS schemes, such as .realname, .keyword, .nlia, or kt.com, hanaro.com, etc. These may be existing domains, or if these suffixes are included, they are suffixes that can be regarded as strings entered for the keyword service.

However, in the case of existing domains such as kt.com and hanaro.com, other lower layer domains such as shop.kt.com and help.hanaro.com may be used. Although it may not be determined that the keyword is a non-English character, the non-English character may be determined as a keyword if both conditions are satisfied.

Similarly, having a feature of non-alphabetic input does not immediately determine a character string as a keyword, but if a suffix used in the keyword service is included, it can be determined as a keyword.

Preferably, the "suffix" for the national language email address service is continuously identified and updated in the suffix database. According to this method, even when there is a system change of various OSs or a setting change by an Internet service provider, stable keyword determination can be made possible by a relatively simple setting change that changes the suffix database.

The national language e-mail address determination does not determine both the suffix and the non-alphabetic input feature and the e-mail feature in the proxy module 142 of the DNS server 140, and the suffix and non-alphabetic character in the proxy module 142 of the DNS server 140. If the keyword is determined by the feature of the input, and if the keyword responds to the Internet address of the keyword processing server, the keyword processing server responsive to the existence of the email feature to determine the local language email address to respond to the email address processing server. It can also be implemented separately.

The suffix may be inserted from the string itself entered into the web browser, or may be inserted separately by the web browser or the operating system. For example, in the case of "www.yahoo.com", "yahoo.com" after "www" may correspond to the suffix, and in the case of "Hangul1.Hangul2", "Hangul2" is the suffix. This may be the case. In addition, it utilizes a function called "DNS suffix" which is available in commercially available OS such as DOS, Linux, Windows 3.0, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Suffix "can also be inserted.

In the present invention, a method of adding a predetermined suffix to a keyword other than a URL in the client terminal 100 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 by determining whether it is included, etc., the suffix can be added (the above-described "DNS Suffix" function), and this 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. In this case, a suffix can be added for each 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.

The suffixes set differently for each DHCP server or terminal configuration program can be used to determine the service provider. Through this, the suffixes can be used to generate statistics for each suffix and to distribute the profits from service provision or advertisement. It can provide a form of interface or extended service.

On the other hand, if the character string is determined to be an email address in the native language, the Internet address (URL or IP address) of the email address processing server 200 to send an email using the string is transmitted to the client terminal 100.

The client terminal 100 receiving the Internet address of the email address processing server 200 delivers a string to the email address processing server 200, and the email address processing server 200 receives the received address and sends an email address corresponding thereto. Provide the client terminal with an email service environment consisting of a person or a recipient.

Next, Fig. 2 is a flowchart of processing a native language email address according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, when a string is input to the web browser address bar of the client terminal 100 and a query message including the string is transmitted from the client terminal 100 to the DNS server 140, the DNS server 140. The proxy module 142 receives this (S101).

The proxy module 142 of the DNS server 140 determines whether the local language is an email address using a suffix, a non-alphabetic input feature, and an email feature included in the received query message. A suffix database that stores one or more suffixes for and checks whether a suffix that matches the suffix included in the query message exists in the suffix database and whether there are features of non-English input (S103). Is present in the non-alphabetic input part, and if the query message includes the ID information of the email address by '@' character or 'Authorization' header information, etc., the character string is determined as the native language email address. (S105).

The suffix verification, non-alphabetic input features, and email feature verification steps are irrelevant in the order of processing and can be processed simultaneously.

On the other hand, if the suffix included in the query message does not exist in the suffix database or if the feature of the non-English alphabet input is not included, the query message is transmitted to the DNS server 140 (S110). In addition, if the response message is received from the DNS server 140 to which the query message is forwarded (S112), and if the response message is an error message, even if the query message does not have a feature of non-alphabetic input, the included suffix is included in the suffix database. If present, the character string may be determined as the native language email address according to whether the email feature is included (S105). If it is not an error message, the proxy module 142 of the DNS server 140 does not process the received response message (S116). If the suffix included in the query message exists in the suffix database, or if the error message is returned from DNS server 140 but does not exist in the suffix database and the included suffix exists in the suffix database, then it does not contain an email feature. Since it is not regarded as the native language e-mail address, the processing as the native language e-mail address is no longer performed (S116). In this case, it is preferable to determine that the character string included in the query message is a general keyword.

Meanwhile, in the step of determining the national language email address, the proxy module 142 of the DNS server 140 may directly determine the national language email address using a suffix, a non-English letter input feature, and an email feature. In response, the proxy module 142 of the DNS server 140 first determines whether the keyword is a keyword using a suffix included in the query message and whether the non-English character is included, and then responds to the keyword processing server. It is also possible to separate the processing by determining whether the native language e-mail address using the feature.

If it is determined that the character string is an email address of the native language, the URL or IP address of the email address processing server that enables the email to be sent using the character string is transmitted to the client terminal (S107), and the client terminal 100 processes the email address. The server 200 is connected (S109).

The client terminal 100 receiving the Internet address of the email address processing server 200 delivers a string to the email address processing server 200, and the email address processing server 200 receives the received address and sends an email address corresponding thereto. Provide the client terminal with an email service environment consisting of a person or a recipient. For example, a method of providing an email service page directly to a client terminal or delivering an internet address (for example, an IP or a URL) of the email service page to the client terminal, and the client terminal receiving the email service page uses the internet address. It can be implemented by accessing the web page or a method of running a mail client program such as Outlook or Thunderbird installed on the client terminal.

Subsequently, the client terminal displays the e-mail service environment in a pop-up form or in a web page form on a web browser. In this case, the e-mail service environment may include various menus (eg, deleted items, drafts, and other user information changes) for e-mail management.

In addition, the email address processing server retrieves the English email address corresponding to the string from the email address information DB.

String English 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 is shown in the above table. The email address information DB has one-to-one correspondence of English email addresses for each character string. Therefore, the email address processing server searches the email address information DB when the string is delivered, finds the corresponding English email address, and automatically inputs the searched English email address on the email service page. At this time, the English e-mail address may be automatically entered as a sender or a recipient.

The email address processing server compares the received string with email address information registered in advance in the email address information DB, and if there is email address information corresponding to the corresponding access word, delivers the email service page to the client terminal, and delivers it from the client terminal. If the received string does not exist in the e-mail address information DB, the e-mail address information similar to the corresponding string may be searched and may be 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, if a designated site for each address is matched for each character string and it is determined that the email address is determined according to the presence or absence of '@' of the character string entered in the Internet address bar, it is connected to the designated site. This way, for example, Hong Gil-dong Cyworld, Gang Gil-dong Cyworld, etc., the strings following the '@' are common, and the character strings preceding the '@' are replaced so that individual designated sites can be mapped. 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 the '@' 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, a similar email address Search results and the like.

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

3 is a screen illustrating an example of providing an email service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, 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 terminal to the client is an email address, an 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 of the above to the client terminal. 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 receives the character string from the client terminal, the email address processing server, together with the integrated service environment for selectively performing e-mail, text message or fax transmission to the recipient (or sender) based on the received character string, for example. The method of transmitting the network address preset in the character string to the client terminal may be used.

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

Meanwhile, the email address processing server compares the string received from the client terminal with the email address information registered in advance in the integrated service information DB, and delivers the integrated service environment to the client terminal when the email address information corresponding to the string exists. If the string received from the client terminal does not exist in the integrated service information DB, the email address information similar to the string may be searched and displayed on the client terminal in a drop-down manner.

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.

4A to 4C show an example of an integrated service environment. The integrated service environment is divided into two separate windows, one window is connected to the corresponding homepage, and the other is provided with an integrated service environment in which services such as e-mail, text message, and fax are provided.

Here, the integrated service environment includes a service description that displays a brief description of the corresponding e-mail address (for example, Mr. Cho Young-hwan's mailbox) and a recent announcement provided by the e-mail address processing server. 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. 4A to 4C).

Referring to FIG. 4A, 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 e-mail to the service execution unit as a recipient of the corresponding word. , Attachment selection, etc.) is displayed.

Referring to FIG. 4B, 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. 4C, 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 the Internet as a recipient of the connection word in the service execution unit. File selection window, etc.) is displayed.

Next, a method of adding a suffix of a desired type to the character string in advance in the client terminal will be described by taking an example in which the terminal environment setting program changes the terminal environment setting and assigns an IP to a DHCP server.

(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, "realname", "nlia", "nlia.com", "nlea.com", and "kt.com" DNS suffixes such as "," hanaro.com "can be assigned. 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.

5A and 5B show an example of a network configuration confirmation screen of Windows XP when the DNS suffix ("realname") is not set and when it is set. 5A does not correspond to "Connection-specific DNS Suffix" and FIG. 5B shows that "Connection-specific DNS Suffix" is set to "realname". 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 attached, 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, which is divided into www.yahoo.com (FQDN), www (host name), and 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 source code below, the part of 'char domain_name [12] = "realname"' corresponds to the setting of the DNS suffix ("realname") 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] = "realname";

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 with IP using 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. 6 is a schematic diagram of a national language email address service 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. This is when the DNS suffix is given to a predetermined string, for example "realname". 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.

Hereinafter, a method of processing a native language e-mail address by a method in which a suffix of a desired type is added to a character string in advance will be described. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of processing a native language email address according to another embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the DNS suffix is assigned to the client terminal (S201). The step of assigning the DNS suffix to the client terminal 100 may be performed by a terminal configuration program installed in the client terminal, or may be given in a manner in which an ISP assigns an IP to each client terminal to the DHCP server 150. Is as described above.

Next, when a character string is input to the client terminal 100 (S203), the OS determines whether it is in the form of a fully qualified name (S205). For example, this determination process is performed by the function set by default in the OS.

Next, if it is determined that the OS does not have a fully qualified name form, the OS checks whether a function called a DNS suffix is set, and if so, adds the set DNS suffix (S207) to the DNS server (S209). 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 a general OS such as Windows, if it is determined that it is not a fully qualified name form according to whether it is a fully qualified name form, a DNS suffix is added (S207) to the DNS server (S209), and it is determined as a fully qualified name form. In case it is forwarded to the DNS server (S209).

Meanwhile, the DNS server 140 determines whether a suffix included in the transmitted query message exists in the suffix database and whether the query message has a feature of inputting a non-English letter (S211). The determination method is performed based on whether there is a match in the suffix database with the DNS suffix and whether a feature of non-English input is included in the query message. For example, if "realname" is added as a DNS suffix to the client terminal 100, the suffix database determines whether the suffix "realname" is included and whether a non-English character is entered in the query message. The first bit value is determined to be 1 or punycode starting with "xn--".

Next, if it is determined that the suffix database does not include a matching suffix or the non-English input features are included, the process proceeds according to the general DNS server 140 (S213). If the query suffix contains a matching suffix and the query message has a non-English input feature and the query message contains an email feature such as the '@' character or the ID information of the email address, such as by 'Authorization' header information, In operation S215, the Internet address of the email address processing server 200 is transmitted to the client terminal (S219). In some cases, if it is determined that the non-English input feature is not included, steps S110, S112, and S114 of FIG. 2 may be performed.

The step of identifying the suffix of the query message and the features of the non-alphabetic input is irrelevant to the processing order, and can be processed simultaneously. In addition, it is possible to separate the processing by determining whether a keyword through a suffix, and again determining whether an email address.

Next, the client terminal 100 accesses the email address processing server 200 using the received Internet address of the email address processing server 200 and transmits a string (S221). In this case, the DNS server 140 may transmit only the access word input to the client terminal 100 except for the DNS suffix or may include the DNS suffix as it is. In the latter case, the email address processing server 200 processes the DNS suffix.

The email address processing server 200 receives the character string from the client terminal and provides the client terminal with an email service environment consisting of a sender or a recipient corresponding to the email address (S223). The providing method may be implemented by, for example, delivering an internet address (eg, an IP or a URL) of an email service page to a client terminal and accessing the web page using the received internet address. . In addition to providing an e-mail service environment for sending an e-mail, a network address corresponding to at least a part of a string included in the e-mail address is searched and provided to the client terminal so that the user terminal accesses a web page corresponding to the network address. Service environment including any one of an email service for sending an e-mail, a text message service for sending a text message to a recipient of a string, and a fax service for sending a fax to a recipient of a string. It is also possible to provide to the client terminal.

8 is a flowchart illustrating processing of a native language email address according to still another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, when a string is input to the web browser address window of the client terminal 100 and a query message including the string is transmitted from the client terminal 100 to the DNS server 140 (S301), the DNS server 140. Transmits a response message in response to the client terminal 100. At this time, the proxy module 142 of the DNS server 140 receives a response message (S303).

Upon receiving the response message, the proxy module 142 of the DNS server 140 determines whether the response message is an error message (S305). As a result of the determination, if the response message is not an error message, the process proceeds as it is without any further processing (S313).

On the other hand, if the response message is an error message, check the suffix included in the query message, if it is used in the keyword service and includes the email feature, the character string is determined as the national language email address (S307), and the string Transfer the URL or IP address of the email address processing server 200 to send the email to the client terminal (S309), the client terminal 100 is connected to the email address processing server 200 (S311) . In this case, if the response message is an error message and the suffix included in the query message is used in the keyword service, the character string is primarily determined to be a keyword, and the keyword processing server returns the character string to the local language email address according to whether the email feature is included. It is also possible to separate the processing to judge.

Even if the response message is an error message, if the suffix included in the query message is not used for the keyword service or does not include the e-mail address feature, the process proceeds as it is without further processing (S313).

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, if the string entered in the address bar is not a URL or IP address, a particular web browser or OS may not send the keyword to the DNS server. In this case, the string may be sent to the DNS server to function as a local language email address. Can be.

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.

Among various embodiments of the present invention, according to the specific suffix granting method by the DHCP server of the ISP, the string entered in the address bar can function as a local language e-mail address without installing a separate program on the client. Services can be distinguished and can be used for extended management.

In addition, the present invention does not substantially limit the expansion or change in the determination of the native language e-mail address or the execution of the additional service by arbitrarily selecting and using an easy to manage suffix.

In addition, by checking whether the input string was a non-English letter and processing it, it is possible to use a domain-type suffix.
