Description

Technical field

The present invention relates to a method and system for the execution of services for registering domain names using national languages in non-English speaking countries, according to which users in non-English speaking countries who are unable to compete with users in English-speaking countries in the field of protecting domain names necessary to create Web- sites can re-create and protect their domain names based on national languages, having meanings essentially identical to those previously registered in English com language, and each Internet user can access the desired site without using the search box in the search browser, but simply by typing on the keyboard a well-known domain name in the URL box (unified resource locator) in their national language and then entering it, so users non-English speaking countries will be able to benefit from the use of the Internet to the same extent as users in English-speaking countries.

State of the art

All computers connected to the Internet are assigned correspondingly uniquely defined numbers, each of which is obtained using a 32-bit numerical combination. This unique number is used as the identification number of the associated individual computer and is called the Internet address.

The Internet address is divided into four groups, each of which consists of 8 bits and is separated from the others by a dot. Each group can be represented by any of the numbers from 0 to 255, which is formed by a possible combination of 8 bits. It is called an authorized IP address (Internet Protocol address).

However, presenting an Internet address with only a large number of digits in the above manner leads to considerable confusion and difficulties in understanding and remembering the Internet address of a particular Web site. For this reason, there is a need to convert the Internet address into a system that is easy to understand and remember, using a combination of symbolic (sign) sequences. Such a system is determined by a domain name.

The domain name required to set up a Web site on the Internet must be composed using a combination of alphanumeric characters and a hyphen, as defined by interNIC (International Center for Internet Information Network) in the United States. Regarding further definitions relating to a domain name having a sequence (string) of maximum 255 characters and an element of 2 to 63 characters in length, interNIC manages the distribution of .com, .org, etc., a KRNIC (Network Information Center in Korea) and JPNIC (Japan Network Information Center) are authorized to manage the distribution of .kr and .jp, respectively.

In the case of a domain name, for example .com, which is one of the highest order domain names, the number of registered domain addresses can be 2 ³² , as a result of possible 32-bit combinations. Although billions of different domain addresses are theoretically possible, Internet features limit the number of domain addresses that can actually be used, in terms of popularity and ease of access. These domain names are currently owned mainly by the most developed countries or leading corporations.

Thus, uncompetitive, “latecomers” in terms of domain name registration, participants experience difficulties in registering domain names relevant to their own business or work, as well as in their acquisition. In other words, useful domain names are currently considered to be completely exhausted.

The aforementioned situation usually occurs in developing or underdeveloped countries, as well as in Korea, which is experiencing a delay in the use of computers on a national scale, both in political and in economic aspects. This situation also occurs in non-English-speaking countries. The reason for this is that the Internet enjoys less recognition among the majority of the population in non-English speaking countries than in English-speaking countries, and therefore non-English speaking countries lose in the competition for earlier registration of domain names.

Thus, in the sense of using the Internet, users of non-English-speaking countries experience disadvantages compared to users in English-speaking countries, including the United States.

Competition for Internet use depends on how quickly Web sites and the information contained on these sites become available. It should be noted that since Internet domain names are based on the use of alphanumeric characters, there is a significant difference between English-speaking users and non-English-speaking users in terms of the ability to recognize and draw analogies in the meaning of domain names for their search. Typically, the frequency of use of the Internet in non-English speaking communities is significantly lower than the indicated frequency in English-speaking communities.

или

) Web-браузера, и при этом он попадает точно на целевой сайт, который он хочет посетить.To access a specific domain on the Internet, an English-speaking user can simply type on the keyboard English words that he knows in a universal resource locator (URL, for example, in the form:

or

) Of a web browser, and in doing so it hits exactly the target site that he wants to visit.

In contrast, each user in a non-English-speaking community, including a Hangul-speaking community (Korean alphabet), usually presents their native language version of their desired domain name, the site of which must be visited, and then translates it into English words that should be printed in url. Most non-English speaking users in non-English speaking communities have a lower typing speed for English letters compared to typing in their native language, resulting in inefficient use of the Internet.

In addition, incorrect translation of words used in non-English-speaking communities can have such a wide range of errors that it will cause the domain name to be incorrect in the URL, which requires full coordination of the domain name with the corresponding registered name. This, in turn, leads to an error in finding DNS (Domain Name Service).

For example, if an Internet user wants to receive information about the “Keumkang Pass”, which represents the name of a particular area in Korea, then in conditions where he does not know the exact spelling of this expression in English and his domain name, he must enter all possible combinations of English letters such as kumgangsan.com, kumgangsan.net, kumgangsan.org, kumgangsan.co.kr, kumkangsan.com, kumkangsan.net, kumkangsan.org, kumkangsan.co.kr, gumgangsan.com, gumgangsan.net, mtkumg.com , mtkumgang.net, mtkumgang.org, kumgangmt.com, mtkumgang.co.kr, mtkumgkang.com, mtkumgang.net, until the entered name matches the registered ones .

In particular, there is also the problem that since Internet domain names owned by many companies in non-English speaking countries are indicated in English, access for non-English speaking users is difficult. The domain name "Lotte Confectionary" is "lotteconf.co.kr"; the domain name "Charmzone" is "charmzone.co.kr"; the domain name "Ssang young corporation" is "ssy.co.kr". It is clear that for ordinary Internet users it would be very difficult to draw an analogy between the corresponding domain names associated with the above examples.

This problem arises in non-English speaking countries, as well as in communities using Hangul (Korean alphabet). In the case of Japan, if some English word, such as "map", is used as a domain name, then the corresponding Japanese pronunciation can be written in various ways, for example as follows: tizu.com, tiju.net, tizu.org, tiju.co. jn, tizu.ne.jn, tuju.pe.jp, tizoo.com, tijoo.net, tizoo.org, tijoo.co.jp, tizoo.ne.jp, tijoo.pe.jp, chizu.com, chiju. net, chizu.org, chiju.co.jp, chizu.ne.jp, chiju.pe.jp, chizoo.com, chijoo.net, chizoo.org, chijoo.co.jp, chizoo.ne.jp, chijoo. pe.jp. In another example, in the case of China, when a certain English word is used as a domain name, for example, “telephone directory”, the corresponding pronunciation in Chinese can be written in various similar variants as follows: dianhuabu.com, dianhuabu.net, dianhuabu .org, dianhuabu.co.cn, dianhuabu.ne.cn, dianhuabu.pe.cn, dianhwabu.com, dianhwabu.net, dianhwabu.org, dianhwabu.co.cn, dianhwabu.ne.cn, dianhwabu.pe.cn , dianwhaboo.com, dianwhaboo.net, dianwhaboo.org, dianwhaboo.co.cn, dianwhaboo.ne.cn, dianwhaboo.pe.cn, dianhuabuo.com, dianhuabuo.net, dianhuabuo.org, dianhuabuo.co.cn, dianhuabuo .ne.cn, dianhuabuo.pe.cn.

For this reason, Internet users in non-English-speaking communities prefer to use search engines that provide search sites on the Internet based on national languages, instead of using the URL box (universal resource locator) in a Web browser when using the Internet. If you use any one of the above search sites, each Internet user can access the desired site by typing on the keyboard the famous name of the saiga in the search box in its national (non-English) language, followed by its entry.

The search site based on the national language has a database containing information based on the national language of the respective country. If there is a search query for a word based on the national language registered in the database, the search site retrieves all the domain names associated with the entered word from the database and displays the extracted domain names, while allowing each Internet user to select the desired one of the displayed domain names and access the selected domain name.

However, for an Internet user, it is not easy to enter a word based on the national language into the search box of the search site on the Internet search server and then precisely find the Internet domain name indicated by the entered word.

In the case of searching for a specific Web site using the search box, the entered word is considered as a universal word, and therefore, a search is carried out among a huge number of domain names, including the domain name of a specific Web site. Therefore, it is difficult to find the desired Web site among a large number of sites that are searched, which leads to a significant decrease in search efficiency and to an increase in search time with an increase in the number of clicks (“clicks”).

This lack of use of the Internet in non-English-speaking communities compared to English-speaking communities reduces competitiveness between individuals, companies or countries and, therefore, leads to a vicious cycle of widening the gap and the ever-increasing difference between rich and poor countries.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with the foregoing, the objective of the present invention, in view of the above-described problems inherent in the prior art, is to provide a method and system for performing services for registering domain names using national languages of non-English speaking countries, according to which users of non-English speaking countries that are not able to compete with users in English countries in terms of the security of domain names needed to create Web sites can re-create and protect their domain names based on national languages, having a value essentially identical to the value of previously registered domain names in English, so that Internet domain names that are currently in saturation can be re-created as different alternatives for them, respectively, using several dozen types of keyboards.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a method and system for ensuring the execution of services for registering domain names using national languages in non-English speaking countries, while users of non-English speaking countries can equally benefit from the Internet, for example, the speed of using the Internet is the same with the corresponding speed in English countries.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a method and system for providing services for registering domain names using national languages in non-English speaking countries, while domain names are systematically monitored and maintained to prevent the formation of sites existing by name, but not in reality.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a method and system for enforcing services for registering domain names using national languages in non-English speaking countries, while users of non-English speaking countries, including the Hangul-speaking community, can use the email addresses and addresses of the source (home) pages, created using their national languages or pictograms using specialized characters assigned respectively to the number keys on keyboards e, facilitating the ability to recognize and remember email addresses and source page addresses.

In accordance with the present invention, the above and other problems are solved by creating a method for registering domain names using national languages in non-English speaking countries, including the first step of recognizing that a user's computer is connected to a subdomain website in the national language directly or through the website of the main domain and selecting a domain name registration service in a national language to request a domain name registration based on a user's national language; the second stage of the implementation of the embedded program (software extension) for the automatic generation of a combination of English characters corresponding to a domain name in the national language, if the domain name registration service in the national language is selected; and the third step is to determine whether the generated combination of English characters has already been registered as an existing domain name, and only if the generated combination of English characters has not been registered, then register it as a domain name based on the national language and notify the user of the registered result.

FIG. 7 is a view illustrating a screen format for assisting in registering a Hangul domain name obtained in accordance with the selection of the domain registration menu of FIG. 6.

Installing a Web site on the Internet requires a unique domain name on a global scale. The domain name system has an inverted hierarchical structure with a root at the starting point.

The root domain infrastructure includes top-level domains .org, .net, .corn, .edu, .kr, .jp, which include their infrastructures having subdomains .co, .ac, .or, etc. respectively. The infrastructures of these subdomains may consist of domain names consisting, for example, of company names, proper names, etc. The use of a new domain name is permitted only if the name is registered in interNIC to ensure its uniqueness among all registered domain names.

Top-level domains .com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov, etc. disposes of interNIC, where .com is used by a commercial company or organization, .net is used by network management organizations, .org is used by nonprofits, .edu is used by universities, and .gov is used by the US government.

The .com domain among the above domains is the most common top level, which includes a huge number of Internet sub-domains, which currently leads to the exhaustion of the supply of meaningful domain names. Therefore, it may actually be impossible to create a sub-domain name that can be registered and that belongs to the .com domain using a specific meaningful word or combination of characters.

In the conditions of an almost complete exhaustion of the available sub-domains, the present invention enables the formation of a second or third domain name with values identical or similar to the domain names of all the source domain names, and such second and third domain names have the possibility of valid registration.

Each of the currently registered domain names consists of a combination of alphanumeric characters or a string of characters having a specific meaning. Therefore, each non-English-speaking national user in a non-English-speaking country must, from his / her keyboard connected to a computer, switch from the use of the national language to the use of the English language and then type a specific English word in the URL box, search box or domain name registration window on the Web site, displayed on a computer monitor to register a new domain name or to access a specific Internet Web site.

In the case when a non-English-speaking national user types on the keyboard a word based on their national language, provided that the computer keyboard is in the English language use mode, an ambiguous combination of English characters appears on the monitor screen. It should be noted that, since such an ambiguous combination of English characters usually does not coincide with the system of consonants and vowels of the English language, the likelihood that there will be a match between a domain name based on the above combination of English characters and previously registered domain names is extremely small . Therefore, a non-English speaking national user can register the above combination of English characters as a new domain name and remember the registered domain name as a word in the national language on the keyboard to recognize it.

As an example, below is a description of the procedure for generating a Korean domain name (Hangul) and registering it with interNIC.

First, the procedure for generating an Internet domain name through the use of a software extension is described. First of all, the user connects to the main Web site, as provided by the present invention, using his own computer. Then, to register the desired domain name with interNIC, the user using the Korean alphabet Hangul places the cursor on the window for registering the domain with a Hangul, selects the mode of hangul using the Korean / English register key on the keyboard using the Hangul, and prints a specific meaningful Korean word in the window domain registration for Hangul. As a result, Korean letters appear in the Hangul domain registration window.

(что означает "travel" - “путешествие”), комбинация английских букв, соответствующая этому слову на хангул, появляется в виде "dugod", и собственно эта комбинация будет зарегистрирована как доменное имя. Аналогичным образом, когда вводится слово на хангул

(что означает "bank" - “банк”), комбинация английских букв, соответствующая этому слову на хангул, появляется в виде "dmsgod", и именно эта комбинация будет зарегистрирована как доменное имя. Аналогичным образом, когда вводятся слова

(что означает "auction" - “аукцион”) и

(что означает "tobacco" - “табак”) в качестве доменных имен, подлежащих регистрации, то они преобразуются соответственно в слова "rudao" и "ekaqo.”The plug-in automatically converts the entered Korean domain name to a sequence of English characters. For example, provided that the keyboard using the Hangul is in English mode when the word is entered

(which means "travel"), the combination of English letters corresponding to this Hangul word appears in the form of "dugod", and in fact this combination will be registered as a domain name. Similarly, when a word is entered in Hangul

(which means “bank” - “bank”), the combination of English letters corresponding to this Hangul word appears in the form of “dmsgod”, and this combination will be registered as a domain name. Similarly, when words are entered

(which means "auction" - "auction") and

(which means “tobacco”) as the domain names to be registered, they are converted into the words “rudao” and “ekaqo.”

The plug-in can be directly downloaded by means of some downloadable specialized window provided on the Web site, or it can be provided as a component of the Web browser. In addition, when the user simply uses the program, the Web server as an administrator provides services for the convenience of the user by obtaining the authority to register a domain name, providing assistance in entering the national language data into the address window for loading the page and directly placing it in the database.

As soon as the domain name to be registered is determined in this way, the domain name registration program is executed on the main Web site to authenticate whether or not a word with a combination of English characters of a certain domain name has been registered, and if it is not registered, it immediately proceeds to registration a specific domain name.

After completing the registration of the domain name requested by the user in the above manner, the main Korean website or sub-website displays the expression on the Hangul of the requested domain name along with the corresponding combination of English characters so that the user can recognize it.

As described above, the plug-in can be used to automatically generate an Internet domain name. Alternatively, a sequence of English characters can be formed as a domain name by typing a Korean word with a specific value on the keyboard using the English language keyboard and then registering directly with interNIC. This procedure is performed as follows.

First, the user using the Hangul connects to the main Web site, as provided by the present invention, via the Internet. Then, to register the desired domain name with interNIC, the user using the Hangul places the cursor on the window for registering the domain with a Hangul, selects the English language using the Korean / English language switch key on the keyboard using the Hangul, and types a specific meaningful word on the keyboard in Korean in the Hangul domain registration window. As a result, an ambiguous combination of English letters appears in the Hangul domain registration window.

на хангул (что означает "travel" - “путешествие”), комбинация английских букв, соответствующая этому слову на хангул, появляется в виде "dugod", и собственно эта комбинация будет зарегистрирована как доменное имя. Аналогичным образом, когда вводится слово на хангул

(что означает "bank" - “банк”), неоднозначная комбинация английских букв, соответствующая этому слову на хангул, появляется в виде "dmsgod" в окне регистрации домена на хангул, и именно эта комбинация будет зарегистрирована как доменное имя. Аналогичным образом, когда вводятся слова

(что означает "auction" - “аукцион”) и

(что означает "tobacco" - “табак”) в качестве доменных имен, подлежащих регистрации, то они появляются в окне регистрации домена на хангул соответственно как "rudao" и ″ekaqo″.For example, provided that the keyboard using the Hangul is in English mode when the word is entered

Hangul (which means "travel"), the combination of English letters corresponding to this word in Hangul appears in the form of "dugod", and in fact this combination will be registered as a domain name. Similarly, when a word is entered in Hangul

(which means “bank” - “bank”), an ambiguous combination of English letters corresponding to this word for Hangul appears in the form of "dmsgod" in the domain registration window for Hangul, and this combination will be registered as a domain name. Similarly, when words are entered

(which means "auction" - "auction") and

(which means “tobacco”) as the domain names to be registered, they appear in the domain registration window for Hangul as “rudao” and ″ ekaqo ″, respectively.

If the domain name to be registered is determined in the manner described above and input is made to complete the registration, the domain name registration program is executed on the main Web site to authenticate whether or not a word with a combination of English characters of a certain domain name has been registered and if it is not registered, it immediately proceeds to register a specific domain name. Similar to using the plug-in after completing the registration of the domain name requested by the user, the main website or sub-website based on the Korean language maps the expression to the hangul of the requested domain name along with the corresponding combination of English characters so that the user can recognize it.

The plug-in can be used to translate the server computer name, www, and names indicating the domain type, .com, .net, etc., using the URL, into the national languages of the respective countries, including Hangul.

в URL могут иметь по существу то же самое значение адреса, что и любой из следующих элементов:For instance,

or

URLs can have essentially the same address value as any of the following elements:

в URL, то возможны следующие нажатия клавиш:Thus, if the user wishes to enter

in the URL, the following keystrokes are possible:

Using the above keystroke sequences, the user can automatically access the site of the desired domain address.

When a domain name created using the national language, including Hangul, is to be registered, the user is required to provide his personal information Providing personal information to the user is essential for registering a domain name. The list of users can be stored in a separate database of participants to support them, and this database can be used in conjunction with the main Web server to seamlessly exchange data with the Web server.

With the support of registered participants, the use of domains is enhanced, for example, by supporting the efficient use of Internet domain names and indicating assistance in using domains that have not been used.

If you create a domain name in English using a keyboard using a hangul, the resulting non-rules English domain name will consist of more than five English letters, since most words in a hangul consist of more than two syllables, and one character Korean alphabet is divided into primary and secondary phonemes or into primary, secondary and final phonemes. This provides information that matters when choosing a domain name.

Initials, often used in English-speaking communities, and also used as a domain name, most often contain three or four letters, and combinations of more than five letters are rarely used, only in individual cases. In addition, since initials are usually indicated by English-speaking users, taking into account English pronunciation, a combination of letters of the alphabet obtained from a domain name in Hangul has a very low chance of conflict with existing English initials.

In particular, in the case of compiling an English domain name using the Hangul keyboard, the requirements for constructing a domain name can be precisely met. This is because the Hangul letters of the Korean alphabet, including the consonants and vowels on the keyboard, are also used for English letters on the same keyboard.

Internet domain names based on languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, French, German, Russian, Hindi, etc. can be created and registered in essentially the same way as in the above procedure for creating and registering a Hangul domain name.

To create unique and creative domain names in non-English-speaking countries, each user must have a keyboard that supports entering letters in his own national language, as well as English letters. Such keyboards can be keyboards using, for example, the following languages: Arabic, Belarusian, Bengali, Belgian, Bulgarian, Burmese, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Estonian, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin American, Macedonian, Nepali, Dutch, Norwegian, Punjabi, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Swahili, Slovak, Slovenian, Sami, Swedish, Swiss, Tamil, Thai, Ukrainian , Urdu and Vietnamese.

For example, for the word "education", assuming that the domain name "education.com" has already been registered, the Hangul keyboard will form the phrase "rydbr.com" as the domain name, the keyboard in Chinese is the phrase "ru14m4.com" , the Japanese keyboard has the phrase "g9yeh.com" and the Arabic keyboard has the phrase "jvfdm.com".

, что означает "clothes" (одежда), даже если доменное имя "clothes.com" уже было зарегистрировано, клавиатура на хангул сформирует в качестве соответствующего ему доменного имени "drnlqhr.com", китайская клавиатура - словосочетание "uzj6.com", японская клавиатура - словосочетание "942h.com" и арабская клавиатура - "Ighfs.com".As another example, in the case of input

, which means “clothes”, even if the domain name “clothes.com” has already been registered, the Hangul keyboard will form “drnlqhr.com” as the corresponding domain name, the Chinese keyboard is the phrase “uzj6.com”, Japanese the keyboard is the phrase “942h.com” and the Arabic keyboard is “Ighfs.com”.

Although the formation of domain names has been described above with reference to the .com domain, it is obvious that you can create a unique domain name for different levels of the domain name in the same way as described above, for each country, or strictly for different keyboards, for example: .co.kr , .pe.kr, .ne.kr, ... used in Korea; .co.tw, .pe.tw, .ne.tw used in Taiwan; .co.sn, .pe.cn, .ne.cn, ... used in China; .co.jp, .pe.jp, .ne.jp, ... used in Japan; .co.ir, .pe.ir, .ne.ir, ... used in Iran; .co.jo, .pe.jo, .ne.jo used in Jordan, as well as .net and .org.

On the other hand, most keyboards for entering words based on non-English languages, with the exception of Hangul, are typically provided with additional keys for sequences of taps of common symbolic characters and special characters, and these keys are also necessary for expressing letters of different non-English national languages , in addition to the keys for 26 letters of the English alphabet.

However, this use of keys often leads to failure to meet the requirements for registering Internet domain names, as opposed to creating English domain names using Hangul.

на японской клавиатуре, то буква

преобразуется в символ "/", использование которого нарушает требования, предъявляемые к доменному имени, так что доменное имя не может быть зарегистрировано органом, отвечающим за регистрацию доменных имен в сети Интернет. Также, в случае использования клавиатуры на китайском языке, если доменное имя на английском составлено с использованием китайского слова, включающего

, то китайская буква

преобразуется в символ "/", в результате чего доменное имя также не может быть зарегистрировано органом, отвечающим за регистрации доменных имен в сети Интернет.Internet domain name registration is provided only when the name includes a combination of numbers from 0 to 9, letters of the alphabet and hyphen. Therefore, in the case when a domain name in English is created using the Japanese word, including the character

on the Japanese keyboard then the letter

is converted to the "/" character, the use of which violates the requirements for a domain name, so that the domain name cannot be registered by the authority responsible for registering domain names on the Internet. Also, in the case of using a keyboard in Chinese, if the domain name in English is composed using the Chinese word, including

then the chinese letter

is converted to the symbol "/", as a result of which the domain name cannot be registered by the authority responsible for registering domain names on the Internet.

This problem arises in the case of direct conversion of a national language other than English into English for most keyboards used in most countries, with the exception of a keyboard that uses a hangul.

However, this problem can be solved by using a plug-in having a particular data processing algorithm in accordance with the present invention.

The solution to the above problem is made possible by using the plug-in provided by the present invention, which is capable of automatically converting a word based on a language other than English into a combination of alphanumeric characters, and this program allows only key entries corresponding to numbers from 0 to 9, to letters alphabet from a to z and hyphen "-", even if any sequence of keystrokes is activated to form any words through the national language ka, other than English, and ignores the input keys that are not valid in the sense of a domain name, thereby enabling the creation of a domain name, even if you put any combination of words, based on a national language other than English.

и принимает остальные буквы "tkjo7f", включающие в себя только символы и цифры, в том виде, в каком доменное имя может в итоге быть зарегистрировано.For example, if a non-English user wishes to have a domain name that is obtained by automatically converting the desired domain name in the national language to the domain name in English by using the plug-in, and the combination of English letters corresponding to the desired unconverted domain name is "tk # j @ o7 * f ", the plug-in excludes the forbidden special characters"#"," @ "and" * "from the above combination

and accepts the rest of the letters "tkjo7f", which includes only characters and numbers, in the form in which the domain name can eventually be registered.

In order for any user in any country to be served during registration of a domain name formed on the basis of his native national language, the corresponding software extension can be contained on all Web sites of the server domain, as well as on the Web site of the main domain.

Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a system for performing a service associated with the registration of domain names using national languages in accordance with the present invention in non-English speaking countries.

As shown in FIG. 1, the web server 10 may have a participant database 12, an embedded program (software extension) system 14, and an email server 16 managed through a web server or accessible through associated email service providers for registered participants.

The portal website that is created and uploaded to the Internet through Web server 10 uses the level of the website of the main domain, for example, "iklik.com" or "iklik.net", with which sub-domains of individual countries are associated .

To this end, the user accessing the Web server can specify (“click”) on the country display window on the screen of the Web site of the main domain, such as "iklik.com", "eoxhdfud.com", "iklik.net" , "eoxhdfud.net", etc. The user can then go to the Web site of the sub-domain associated with the Web server 10 for the respective country.

By simply choosing from a menu prepared on the main Web site or on the Web sites of foreign countries, the user gets to a Web site using his national language, where the user can be provided with the registration agent service when he requests the registration of a domain name, including his own national language.

As shown, a website created by a web server according to the present invention may include a main domain display area 20, a sub domain display area 22, a main menu display area 24, a registration menu selection area 25, and a call area 30 corresponding to a particular country.

.com", или

.net".The primary domain display area 20 is used to indicate a higher order domain of a Web site according to the present invention, such as "iklik.com" or "iklik.net", or

.com ", or

.net ".

(политика).com", "

(экономика).соm" или "

(спорт).соm", "

(наука).соm", "

(здоровье).соm", "

(право).соm", которые органично связаны с основным доменом.The sub-domain display area 22 shows a plurality of sub-domains, each of which has functions of its own domain, including, for example,

(policy) .com ","

(economy) .com "or"

(sport) .сom ","

(science) .сom ","

(health) .сom ","

(right) .com ", which are organically linked to the main domain.

The main menu display area 24 and the submenu display area 28, which are organically connected to each other, are reproducible images in the window, switched depending on the choice from the menu made by the website visitor. In the sub-menu display area 28 of FIG. 6, windows associated with the selected menus, ordered by sequential ordering, are sequentially shifted in the order A, B, C, starting from the window, immediately before the very last window.

For example, when you specify (by clicking) window A in the submenu display area 28, the contents in area A are displayed on the entire main menu, while the current contents of the main menu displayed on the main menu are moved to area A for display.

On the other hand, when specifying window B, the contents of area B is displayed throughout the main menu, while window A is shifted to display under window B, and the main menu is displayed in window A.

In area 30 of the call of a particular country, the indication of national flags along with the names of countries is provided. By specifying the desired flag, you can select the language to use in the main menu 24. Therefore, the present invention provides significant advantages when each user in individual countries accesses the main domain of interest or the sub-domain website in a foreign language and then switches from this accessed Web site to the Web site in its native national language.

On the other hand, to register a domain name in the national language, after each Internet user in individual countries has gained access to the required Web site, the user can simply point (“click”) to the selection area 26 from the domain registration menu. For example, if a Korean user points to the aforementioned domain for registering a domain name in Korean, a window 32 for requesting a domain name registration for Hangul appears on the screen, as shown in Fig. 7.

Then, the user requesting the registration of the domain name enters the desired .com domain name into Hangul in the window 32 of the Hangul domain name registration request using the keyboard using the Korean alphabet (Hangul). A user requesting such registration can use the mouse to enter the domain name in Hangul by positioning the mouse cursor 36 on the desired letter in the keyboard input area 34 and then clicking the mouse button. Then, to enter the domain name in Hangul and to display the entered name in the national language and the corresponding alphanumeric combination in English, the window 38 for entering the domain name interNIC is used.

In addition, the window 40 for entering the domain name of a particular country (including Korea) can also be used to enter exclusively the internal (home) domain name in Hangul and to request its registration. In this way, after entering the domain name based on the required national language, simply by clicking on the registration button recognition area 42, you can proceed to the procedure for registering the domain name in the national language.

The above procedure for registering a domain name can also be used to serve personal subscriber-oriented home pages within the Web server 10, as well as to request the appointment of an email address. Special characters, for example,!, @, #, $,%, ^, &, *, Etc., obtained by pressing keys with numbers from 0 to 9 simultaneously with the shift key, can be used to create a single display forms for email address and homepage address and for its registration.

The homepage and email addresses that the Web user in each country receives and creates can be created using characters within the domain name restrictions defined by interNIC. Thus, the use of all letters, numbers and symbols that are generated from the keyboard used in each country is acceptable for registering a domain name using the national language and email address necessary to create an exclusively internal home page in each country.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for implementing a service for registering domain names using national languages in non-English speaking countries in accordance with the present invention.

As shown in figure 2, the Internet user accesses the main Web site, such as "eoxhdfud.com", "iklik.net", etc., makes a menu selection to indicate his country to access the Web sub website in its national language and then decides whether to register a domain name using the national language.

In the case of a domain name registration request, the procedure proceeds to the subroutine, where the domain name is registered using the national language, otherwise, the search is performed on the required Web site or any search for another site.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for registering a domain name using a domain name in the national language according to the present invention.

First, if a user in a non-English-speaking country gains access to the Web server 10 through the Web site to request the registration of the Internet domain name, using his native national language, and to enter his personal information, the Web server 10 calls and activates the plug-in from system 14 for providing software extension and, thus, creates a string of letters of the English alphabet corresponding to the domain name requested by the user in his native national language.

The plug-in provides the ability to enter only key values corresponding to numbers, letters of the English language and hyphen, and ignores the input of key values that are not valid from the point of view of the domain name, thereby satisfying the requirements for registering a domain name. Therefore, a domain name that meets the registration requirements can be created for any input of possible combinations of words based on the native language.

The program asks the Internet domain name registration authority to confirm whether a combination of letters of the English alphabet has already been registered, directly converted accordingly to a domain name based on the user's native language. If such a previous registration has not taken place, then the registration procedure is immediately carried out. The user requesting registration can be informed or notified of the registration result by e-mail.

Information including personal detailed data of the user requesting registration, a name based on the native language, a name based on the English language, etc., can be stored in the database of 12 participants, if necessary. Based on the information contained in the database, for each participant registering a domain name, the use of each registered domain and its support are managed.

After completing the registration of the domain name, as described above, the domain name can be directly entered into the URL as a combination of English letters, so that the user can access the requested Web site by entering the domain name.

.com" в URL. Эта операция может потребовать, чтобы заранее было предусмотрено программное расширение для автоматического преобразования национального языка на английский язык, причем эта программа может быть загружена из сайта-портала, в котором применяется система, соответствующая настоящему изобретению.Also, the domain name can be directly entered into the URL using the user's own native language to access the requested Web site. For example, to access a portal Web site having the domain name "eoxhdfud" according to the present invention, even a www key sequence is possible.

.com "in the URL. This operation may require that a plug-in be provided in advance for automatically converting the national language into English, and this program may be downloaded from the portal site using the system of the present invention.

If the Internet user or the user requesting the registration of the domain name gains access to the Web site in accordance with the present invention using his computer 18 and makes a selection in the download menu of the software extension provided on the Web site, the Web server 10 sends the program automatically the domain name translation stored in the software extension system 14 to a user computer 18.

In the case when a user in a non-English-speaking country uses his computer with the plug-in downloaded and stored in it to enter the domain name for a particular Web site in the URL using his native national language, then the requested Web site can be accessed directly, if the website is already registered.

в URL и затем нажимает клавишу "enter", программное расширение автоматически активизируется для подсоединения к

но в окне URL сохраняется индикация "http://www.

.com".To recognize a non-English domain name entered in the URL, the plug-in operates in such a way as to accept only non-English letters containing an identifier between the host name, such as www, ftp, etc., and a sub-domain, such as .com, co .kr, pe.kr, etc., and then convert them to the corresponding letters of the English alphabet. The program then searches for a Web site based on the translated domain name, while the non-English language domain name remains in the URL. For example, when a user types on the keyboard

in the URL and then presses the enter key, the plug-in is automatically activated to connect to

but the indication "http: // www.

.com ".

Therefore, each non-English-speaking user can confirm the domain name for access through the URL box, in which the domain name is expressed in the user's recognized national language, which makes it convenient to use the Internet.

In contrast to the above, a part of a domain name can be defined in which non-English letters are placed among the letters displayed in the URL using the keyboard or mouse, and non-English letters in this part can be converted to a combination of letters of the alphabet through a software extension.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for accessing a desired Web site with a domain name in the user's native national language using said plug-in.

In addition, the email server 16 in FIG. 1 is connected to a web server to provide participants with email registration forms. Each subscriber is assigned a personal email registration form, the version in the national language of which can be registered by requesting registration of email, provided that the above software extension is launched.

In principle, if the iklik.com domain name is used and the email address is the "secretary" address registered in the email service provided from this domain, then the usual transcription of the email address will look like:

It should be noted that any Hangul address can be used instead of the "secretary" used in the email to register as a Hangul address. In addition, it is also possible for non-English speakers to register their versions in the national language of email addresses.

As described above, if a plug-in that automatically converts non-English letters within a predefined specific segment to a combination of English letters for a specified specific segment is directly applied to the format of the email address, then as an email address to non-English-speaking users It’s convenient for countries to use the user's native language version of the email address.

(что означает "secretary"), что зарегистрировано в услуге электронной почты, обеспечиваемой из домена, то адрес электронной почты будет иметь вид:

. При активизации программного расширения сервер электронной почты может распознать адрес электронной почты как "qltj@iklik.com", что может использоваться для посылки или получения данных электронной почты.Thus, if you use the iklik.com domain name and the email address is defined as

(which means "secretary") that is registered in the email service provided from the domain, the email address will be:

. When the plug-in is activated, the email server can recognize the email address as "qltj@iklik.com", which can be used to send or receive email data.

(что означает "secretary") для использования в домене

Web-сайта-портала в сообществе, говорящем на хангул, то адрес электронной почты может быть транскрибирован как

, что может быть легко распознано и запомнено самим данным пользователем и другими пользователями.If the user defines the email address as

(which means "secretary") for use in the domain

Web site-portal in the Hangul community, then the email address can be transcribed as

that can be easily recognized and remembered by the given user and other users.

Figure 5 presents a flowchart that briefly describes the above procedure for registering a version in the native national language of an email address.

The assistance service for creating a personal web page based on a web server based on the national language version of the email address can be provided to each member of the web site according to the present invention using the national language domain name registration method and the destination request method and register email addresses. In this case, a new era in the use of email and home pages will be opened in each country, and many users on the website of the sub-domain will be reliably protected for each

country, the result of which is the creation of a reliable Web site of the main domain, the position of which is absolutely protected.

Industrial applicability

As follows from the above description, in accordance with the present invention, users in non-English-speaking countries who cannot compete with users in English-speaking countries in terms of the security of domain names required to create Web sites can, using national languages, re-create and protect their domain names having meanings essentially identical to their meanings previously registered in English.

In addition, the new domain names of each non-English speaking country can be applied to the popular Internet domain names, which are currently in a state of saturation, which avoids the situation of depletion of domains.

In addition, users in non-English-speaking countries can benefit from the use of the Internet equally with regard to the speed of using the Internet, with users in English-speaking countries.

Moreover, domain names are systematically monitored and maintained, which helps to activate sites that have remained unused, thereby preventing the creation of sites that exist by name, but not in reality.

In addition, users in non-English speaking countries, including the Korean alphabet (Hangul) use area, can use email addresses and homepage addresses created using their national languages, thereby simplifying the recognition and storage of email addresses and homepage addresses.

Although preferred embodiments of the present invention are disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions, and substitutions are possible without changing the scope and spirit of the invention, as disclosed in the claims.
