Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to communications networks. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for accommodating non-English language naming system to address and to direct accesses of entities of a communication network, particularly in the world-wide- web (WWW).
- WWW world-wide- web
- the Internet particularly the world-wide-web (WWW) provides a plethora of information sources, each of which offers useful information, goods and services, typically in the form of hyper-text mark-up language (HTML) pages (web pages), to users of the vast computer network.
- WWW world-wide-web
- HTML hyper-text mark-up language
- a user utilizes a web browser, e.g., the NAVIGATOR ® from the Netscape Communications Corporation of Mountain View, CA, USA, or the INTERNET EXPLORER ® from the Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Washington, USA, installed on his/her computer to access a desired web page.
- the user web browser In order to access a particular web page, the user web browser must know the address of the desired destination web site within the network, i.e., the Internet.
- IP addresses are referred to as the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
- IP address has a numeric format, e.g., 123.456.78.9.
- Each server hosting a website in the WWW is given a unique IP address.
- An address according to the newly devised addressing system is commonly referred to as an Universal Resource Locator (URL), which typically has a syntax, "protocolJ/www.domain-name.domain”.
- the protocol may be, e.g., hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) for WWW.
- the domain specifies which of the high-level division of the entire Internet, the addressee belongs to, and can be, for example, "com", “org", "net” or the like (domains in countries other than the United States may include the country indicator, e.g., co.uk, which indicates a commercial domain in the United Kingdom).
- the domain-name and the domain fields together serves as the alias for the actual IP address.
- the domain-name may be arranged as a plurality of sub names, e.g., "subname Lsubname 2....subname n.” For example, an URL, http://www.xyz.com specifies a server in the world-wide-web hosting a web site for the xyz company.
- a special server, called a domain name server (DNS), placed in the Internet maintains a global directory that maps domain names, e.g., the "xyz.com", to the corresponding actual IP addresses, e.g., 123.456.78.9, of the server hosting the web site for the xyz company.
- the DNS server may be more than one physically separate computers, and may be organized in a hierarchical manner.
- the web browser inquires the DNS server for the IP address associated with the particular URL. Once, the web browser obtains the IP address from the DNS server, a connection is established between the user web browser and the server application at that IP address.
- NBI Herndon, Virginia, USA
- a registrant registers a domain name with an authorized registrar, e.g., registering a ".com" domain name with NSI, no other entity may register the same domain name.
- the DNS directory is updated with a new entry assigning the newly registered domain name to the registrant's web hosting server IP address.
- a foreign language word (a non-English native language) word may be spelled several different ways using English alphabets, often times, none of which can truly represent the native pronunciation of the word.
- a Korean speaking Internet user may try to phonetically spell the Korean word, l-i- r -", which is roughly equivalent to "ABC” in English, as, inter alia, "Kanada", “Ganada” or even “Ghanahdah” (many other spelling may be possible).
- a method of registering a domain name comprises receiving a request for registration of a native language domain name, the native language domain name including at least one non-alphanumeric character, converting each of the at least one non- alphanumeric character to a corresponding alphanumeric character to produce an alphanumeric domain name, and registering the alphanumeric domain name with an authorized alphanumeric domain name registrar.
- a method of establishing a communication link between a user computer and a destination website over a world wide web network comprises receiving a universal resource locator of the destination website, the universal resource locator having a native language domain name that comprises at least one non- alphanumeric character, converting each of the at least one non-alphanumeric character to a corresponding alphanumeric character to produce an alphanumeric domain name, performing a domain name server inquiry using the alphanumeric domain name to obtain an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the destination website, and establishing the communication link between the user computer and the destination website using the Internet Protocol (IP) address.
- IP Internet Protocol
- a domain name registration system comprises a native language domain name registrar configured to receive a request for registration of a native language domain name, the native language domain name including at least one non- alphanumeric character, wherein the native language domain name registrar is configured to convert each of the at least one non-alphanumeric character to a corresponding alphanumeric character to produce an alphanumeric domain name, and is further configured to register the alphanumeric domain name with an authorized alphanumeric domain name registrar.
- Fig. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of the Internet including the native domain name registration and usage system, in accordance with the principles of the present invention
- Fig. 2A shows an exemplary embodiment of the relevant portions of native language domain name format and the format of the unique corresponding alpha-numeric domain name for registration, in accordance with the principles of the present invention
- Fig. 2B shows an alternative exemplary embodiment of the relevant portions of native language domain name format and the format of the corresponding unique alpha-numeric domain name that includes a language code field, for registration, in accordance with the principles of the present invention
- FIG. 3 shows a flow chart depicting an illustrative exemplary embodiment of a process of registering a native language domain name, in accordance with the principles of the present invention
- Fig. 4 shows an illustrative exemplary embodiment of communications between a user web browser, a domain name service (DNS) server and the destination web site, in accordance with the principles of the present invention
- Fig. 5 shows an illustrative exemplary embodiment of web browser display screen, in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- DNS domain name service
- a domain name system includes a native language domain name registrar, which receives a native language domain name registration request.
- the native language domain name comprises at least one non-alphanumeric character not included in the allowable character set for domain name registration, i.e., the English alphabets A through Z, the Arabic numbers 0 through 9 and the hyphen "-".
- Each of the non-alphanumeric characters is converted to a string of alphanumeric characters to produce a alphanumeric domain name comprised of strings of alphanumeric characters uniquely representing the native language domain name being requested to be registered.
- the resulting alphanumeric domain name is registered with the domain name registration system, and is used in the domain name/IP address entry in the domain name server (DNS).
- DNS domain name server
- An algorithm based conversion between each of the native language character and the corresponding alphanumeric character string to maintain a unique correspondence between a native language character and the corresponding alphanumeric character string may be provided to the web browsers installed on the computer of a world wide web (WWW) user to convert native language domain names to the corresponding alphanumeric domain names, which are ultimately used for domain name lookup process during the respective WWW browse sessions.
- WWW world wide web
- Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the relevant portions of the world-wide-web (WWW) network 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the WWW network comprises a interconnect fabric 101, through which each of the Alphanumeric Domain Name Registrar (ADNR) 102, the DNS server 103, a Domain Name Registrant (DNR) 104, a Native Language Domain Name Registrar (NLDNR) 105 and a User computer 107 communicate with each other.
- the interconnect fabric 101 is a wide area network (WAN), and may comprise a plurality of computers, routers, gateways and/or portions of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), as known to those familiar with the architecture of the Internet.
- PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
- the ADNR 102 is the authorized registrar of domain names for a particular domain.
- the Network Solutions, Inc. NTI
- the ADNR 102 is the only authorized registrar for domain names.
- Fig. 1 in practice, there are a number of ADNRs 102, each of which may serve as the registrar for a particular domain, e.g., ".gov”, “.co.uk”, “co.kr” and the like.
- a DNR 104 may be an individual or a business concern that desires to obtain a "web address" for its website 106 being hosted by a hosting server (not shwon) having an IP address, e.g., 123.456.78.9. Although by way of example, only one DNR 104 is shown, there may be any number of NDRs 104. Once, a DNR 104 registers a domain name with an authorized ADNR 102 , e.g., registering a ".com" domain name with NSI, no other entity may register the same domain name.
- the ADNR 102 reserves the requested domain name for the exclusive use by the requesting DNR 104.
- the requesting DNR 104 may opt to "park" the newly registered domain name until its website 106 is developed and launched by releasing to the rest of the WWW.
- the website when launched is typically placed on a web hosting server (not shown).
- the DNS directory in the DNS server 103 is updated with a new entry assigning the newly registered domain name to the registrant's web hosting server IP address.
- the WWW 100 may include a NLDNR 105 for receiving a request for registration of a native language domain name.
- a native language domain name in accordance with the present invention is defined as a domain name having a string of characters, at least one of which being a non-alphanumeric character, i.e., a character not in the set of characters currently allowed in domain names, namely the English alphabets, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z (in either upper or lower case), the Arabic numbers, 0, 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and the hyphen "-".
- NLDNR 105 may receive from the DNR 104 a request for registration of a native language domain name, "7 r ⁇ ⁇ -. C om", ⁇ " being a Korean writing, and each of the characters, X ⁇ ", "M-” and “ ⁇ " being a non- alphanumeric character.
- the NLDNR 105 upon receiving the request, converts the native language domain name to an alphanumeric domain name according to a standard conversion algorithm preferably adapted by the entire WWW community. The conversion algorithm will be described in more detail later.
- the NLDNR 105 reserves the native domain name for the exclusive use by the requesting DNR 104, and registers the converted alphanumeric domain name corresponding to the native language domain name with the ADNR 102.
- the NLDNR 105 and the ADNR 102 are shown as separate entities, it should be understood that they may be one and the same entity in practice.
- a WWW user may use his/her user computer 107 to conduct a WWW browse session using a web browser 108, e.g., the NAVIGATOR ® from the Netscape Communications Corporation of Mountain View, CA, USA, or the INTERNET EXPLORER ® from the Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Washington, USA, installed the user computer 108.
- a web browser 108 e.g., the NAVIGATOR ® from the Netscape Communications Corporation of Mountain View, CA, USA, or the INTERNET EXPLORER ® from the Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Washington, USA
- the user may be using a version of the web browser 108, which allows entry of inputs and display of information in the user's native language, e.g. in Korean.
- the user computer 107 is typically equipped with a keyboard 109, which, in the case of a non-English speaking user, provides one or more key buttons for entering the user's native language characters.
- the web browser 108 may, in the case of a native language version, include a conversion module which converts a native language domain name entered by the user using the keyboard 109 to the corresponding alphanumeric domain name in the same manner as the NLDNR 105 as mentioned above, and will further be described later.
- the conversion module thus allows a non-English speaking user to type in a URL in his/her native language to reach the desired website in the WWW.
- Fig. 2A shows an exemplary embodiment of the relevant portions of the formats of a native language domain name 201 and its corresponding alphanumeric domain name 202.
- the native language domain name 201 may be a string of n characters 203, i.e., CHAR 1, CHAR 2, CHAR 3.... CHAR n, at least one of the n characters being a non- alphanumeric character. Any one of the characters of the native domain name 201 may be an alphanumeric character so long as the native language domain name 201 comprises at least one non-alphanumeric character.
- a non-alphanumeric character may be, e.g., any characters in any language available on the keyboard of the language of the particular user.
- a particular native language e.g., Korean, Japanese, French or Chinese or the like
- each of possible written character is assigned a unique alphanumeric characters).
- This assignment of alphanumeric characters to native language characters is based on the UNICODETM, available from the Unicode Consortium of Mountain View, CA, USA, and from their website whose URL is www.unicode.org.
- UNICODETM United States Inc.
- each possible character of each of native languages is assigned a two byte code, and a byte range is assigned to each language.
- the range assignments for a selective exemplary languages according to the UNICODETM standard are illustrated below in table I. TABLE I
- a web browser 108 equipped with a conversion module can recognize the language in which to display the domain name.
- a native language domain name 201 in Korean, and "X”, which according to the UNICODETM standard, will be encoded as the corresponding alphanumeric strings 204, "0AC0", "8B09” and "4B2E", respectively.
- the Korean domain name 201, ⁇ 1 ⁇ is converted to an alphanumeric domain name 202 having twelve characters, "0AC08B094B2E".
- Each two bytes of the alphanumeric domain name 204 is within the range AC00-D7AF, and thus the web browser 108 would recognize that the domain name is to be displayed as a Korean syllable according to the UNICODETM standard.
- the current domain name system allows an alphanumeric domain name to have a maximum of sixty-seven (67) characters.
- a native language domain name may have up to sixteen (16) native language characters.
- an alphanumeric domain name 202 may comprise any number of characters from four to sixty-seven, in an embodiment of the present invention, the alphanumeric domain name 202 has a fixed character length, e.g., sixty-four (64) characters.
- a native language domain name being requested has less than 16 native language characters, an appropriate number of "0s" are filled in to obtain an alphanumeric domain name that is 64 characters long.
- the native language domain name 201 will be converted to an alphanumeric domain name 202, "0AC08B094B2E0OO0OOO0O0O0O0
- the conversion module of the web browser 108 is made to know to ignore the null bytes, "00".
- the long domain name e.g., 64 characters long, are not popularly used, and thus much of the name space in a domain may be preserved for use by registrants desiring English word domain names.
- Fig. 2B shows the format of the alphanumeric domain name 202A according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
- the alphanumeric domain name 202A is similar to the alphanumeric domain name 202, except that it has at least one additional language code byte 205, which may be used to indicate the language in which the domain name is to be displayed.
- additional language code byte 205 may be used to indicate the language in which the domain name is to be displayed.
- a native domain name registration process in accordance with the principles of the present invention will now be described.
- a request for registration of a native language domain name e.g., "7 r ⁇ - ⁇ ir.co ⁇ "
- the NLDNR 105 in step 302, converts the native language domain name to an alphanumeric domain name, e.g., the "0ACO8BO94B2EOOO0O00OO0O00O0O000OOO00OOOO0OOOOOOOOO000OOO 00000000"
- an alphanumeric domain name e.g., the "0ACO8BO94B2EOOO0O00OO0O00O0O000OOO00OOOOOO0OOOOOOO000OOO 00000000
- the NLDNR 105 makes an inquiry to the ADNR 102 whether the converted alphanumeric domain name is available for registration by the present requesting registrant, DNR 104. If the requested alphanumeric domain name is available for registration, i.e., no other registrant has previously registered the same domain name, the NLDNR 105 registers the requested alphanumeric domain name with the ADNR 102 in step 306, and sends, in step 307, a confirmation message to the requester, DNR 104 indicating that the requested native domain name is now registered and reserved for the requester's exclusive use. The registration process ends at step 308.
- the NLDNR 105 in step 304, notifies the present requestor that the requested native language domain name is unavailable for registration, and in step 305, asks the requester is the requester wishes to select another native domain name for registration, and if the requester chooses another native language domain name, the process returns to repeats the process starting from the step 301. If, on the other hand, the requester opts not to choose another domain name for registration, the process ends in step 308.
- Fig. 4 shows the communications between entities of the WWW to allow a user of the WWW to reach the website 409 having a registered native language domain name.
- a WWW user e.g., in a non-English speaking country, is provided with a web browser 402, which is capable of receiving from the keyboard (not shown), and displaying one or more native language characters, and which includes a conversion module 403.
- the conversion module 403 performs the native language domain name to the corresponding alphanumeric domain name as described above.
- An exemplary screen display 500 of the web browser 402 is shown in Fig.
- the web browser screen 500 also includes a domain selection box, which provides a list of possible domains, e.g., ".com”, “.net”, “.org”, “.co.kr” or the like as well known to those familiar with WWW.
- the domain name and the selected domain together form an URL, e.g., in this example, http://www.7r i -4- T il-.com.
- the conversion module 403 of the web browser 402 converts the native name domain name into an alphanumeric domain name, in a manner previously described, to formulate the corresponding alphanumeric URL 404, e.g., http://www.0AC08B094B2E000000000
- the DNS server 408 performs a look up operation to find the IP address corresponding to the alphanumeric URL, and sends the found IP address 405 to the web browser 402.
- the web browser 402 uses the IP address 405 to establish a communication link between the user web browser 402 and the destination web site 409, through which the user may access the information and/or service offered by the web site 409.
