Description

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DOMAIN HOSTING BY USING
LOGO DOMAIN
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a logo domain hosting method and apparatus
connecting directly to a domain address by using a logo.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to logo domain hosting method and apparatus
connecting directly to a domain address by using a logo.
The computer via Internet communicates in various networks of the whole world
by using TCP/IP protocol.
All communication between hosts is based on a domain name system assigning 32
bits IP address like 203.252.113.61.
Because every web page has a distinct Internet uniform resource locator(URL), a
web browser can receive an appointed web page without confusion.
Because every computer of the whole worldwide web is connected by Internet, if
an address assignment rule is decided, a user can browse a desired web page and roughly
guess a web page address. All data used on the web have an address corresponding to a standard, such that
the address is named uniform resource locator(URL). The URL is short for uniform
resource locator and means a unified data address.
As web sites increase, web-hosting services, which open a free homepage
commonly, occur. Homepage service enterprises secure a lot of members and display
advertisements in each member's web site. Also, if a user visiting the homepage sees the
advertisement, the homepage service enterprises can make a profit.
In the past, the user must know the correct address and then input the address in
the address line in order to connect with an Internet site.
The Internet site connecting method of the past had a restriction on global services
because of linguistic restrictions.
In the past, because the URL must be expressed by language, the Internet site
connecting method was restricted to providing non-linguistic service globally.
There are instances in the past when the Internet site did not secure a lot of data
displayed in the web browser.
In the past, it was difficult to input URL by using the input unit of the wireless
mobile communications terminal.
Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide a logo domain hosting
method and apparatus for connecting with a desired site by selecting a logo that is directly
understood. Another object of the present invention is to provide a logo domain hosting
method and apparatus for providing a global service regardless of language type, thereby
not having any linguistic restriction.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a logo domain hosting
method and apparatus for displaying a large amount of data without the spatial restriction
of an Internet site browser.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a logo domain hosting
method and apparatus for using a logo as a URL.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a logo domain hosting
method and apparatus for connecting a web site by selecting an obvious logo icon on the
mobile communications terminal.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
To accomplish the objects of the present invention according to one preferred
embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided for receiving a domain request
signal from a domain requester, wherein the domain request signal comprises a logo,
registering the logo as a logo domain, and transmitting a logo domain registration
confirmation signal corresponding to the registered logo domain, wherein if the Internet
user selects the logo domain, then the browser corresponding to the Internet user transmits
a classification code corresponding to the selected logo domain to a domain name server, the domain name server extracts an IP address corresponding to the classification code and
transmits the IP address to the browser.
The logo domain providing method further comprises the steps of creating the
classification code by using the domain request signal, wherein the domain request signal
further comprises domain open information and the classification code is created by
using the domain open information, connecting the classification code with the logo
domain. The classification code comprises an identification number code and further
comprises either an area classification code or a service classification code. Also, the
classification code is assigned step by step.
The domain open information can comprise at least one of the area classification
code and the service classification code. Also, the classification code is uniquely connected
with the logo domain.
The classification code can further comprise a logo size classification code.
The logo size classification code sets up a logo size.
The logo domain providing method can further comprise the step of storing the
registered logo domain. Also, the step of storing the registered logo domain is the step of
storing the logo domain and the classification code.
The logo domain providing method further comprises the step of creating a logo
icon corresponding to the logo domain, wherein the logo icon is provided to Internet users.
The logo icon is provided to the Internet users by using a plug-in. An upgraded logo icon can be provided to the Internet users by using the plug-in.
The logo icon can be displayed by using the user's private browser.
The logo icon can be displayed as wallpaper of an operating system.
The logo icon can comprise at least identification and password of the site. When
the user clicks the logo icon, the user can log into the site automatically.
The logo is an image.
The image is either a two dimensional image or a three dimensional image.
The domain request signal can comprise the logo provided by the domain requester.
Otherwise the domain request signal can comprise the logo selected by the domain
requester in the provided plural logo.
To select the logo domain a user clicks a logo icon corresponding to the logo
domain.
The logo icon can be distributed widely to the Internet users in the Internet site.
The updated logo icon can be provided to the Internet users in the Internet site.
To accomplish the objects of the present invention, and according to another
preferred embodiment of the present invention, a logo domain browsing method is
provided for providing at least one logo icon to a Internet user (the logo icon corresponds
to a logo domain and is connected to a classification code), extracting a classification code
corresponding to the logo Icon selected by the Internet user, transmitting the extracted
classification code to a domain name server, receiving an IP address corresponding to the classification code from the domain name server, and connecting to the Internet site
corresponding to the IP address.
The logo domain browsing method further comprises the steps of providing an
updated logo icon for the Internet user. The updated logo icon is stored at storage.
A "favorites" service is provided to the Internet user. Also, the Internet user can
add the logo icon to the favorites list.
The domain name server extracts the IP address corresponding to the received
classification code.
The logo domain browsing method can be executed on wired network or wireless
network.
To accomplish the objects of the present invention according to another
preferred embodiment of the present invention, a logo domain providing method is

EMBODIMENT
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in
more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it is understood that the
present invention should not be limited to the following embodiments.
The present invention relates to a system and method for providing logo domain
hosting to an Internet user.
The present invention relates to a logo domain hosting method and apparatus
connecting directly to a domain address by using a logo.
The Internet user can be provided the domain as a logo. Also, if the Internet user selects the logo directly, then he will connect to the site corresponding to the logo. The
logo is analyzed into figures, pictures and images in order to remind people of company
names, organization names, objects and phenomena, services and so on.
Also, the logo can use either a two dimensional image or a three dimensional
image.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the logo domain server in the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, the logo domain server 105 connects with the domain name
server 107, plural domain requester 101, and plural Internet user 102 through
communication network 103. The communication network 103 comprises wired
communication network and wireless communication network.
The domain requester 101 indicates that the Internet user wants a web hosting
service. When the domain requester 101 connects with the logo domain server 105 through
the communication network, the logo domain server 105 assigns a desired domain to the
domain requester 101. The Internet user 102 indicates that an Internet user wants some
information. The Internet user 102 can search information by using a service that is
provided by the logo domain server 105 through the communication network 103.
The domain name server 107 is composed of a level construction different from a past domain name server. The domain name server 107 can be comprised in the logo
domain server 105 as a domain name system. The domain name server 107 will be
described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings later. The domain
requester 101 can be provided with its own domain existing uniquely in the whole world
by using the logo domain server 105 in the present invention. Also, the domain requester
101 can be provided a desired logo as a domain address in itself.
For example, when the domain requester 101 wants to be provided a web hosting
service in order to open a movie site, the domain requester 101 can use a desired movie
logo as a domain address by registering the movie logo at the logo domain server 105. The
domain opening method will be described in more detail with reference to accompanying
drawings later.
If the Internet user 102 does not have any information on a site address URL, then
the user 102 can be directly connected with the desired site by using a logo domain address
and provided with information.
For example, when the Internet user 102 wants to get information about science
and cannot search a science site URL, the Internet user 102 can connect with a science site
and receive information by clicking a microscope logo directly. FIG. 2 is a schematic constructional diagram of the composition of the logo
domain server in the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, the logo domain server 105 comprises a hosting integration
database 201, a database management system 202, a client authentication part 203, a
domain assignment module 205, a plug-in constructing engine 207 and a server control
part 209.
The hosting integration database 201 stores logo icon information, classification
code information, domain requester information, and plug-in information. The logo icon is
an icon created by connecting a logo with a classification code.
The database management system 202 manages data of the hosting integration
database 201. Because the function of the database management system 202 is based on
general knowledge, we will omit the concrete explanation of it.
The hosting integration database 201 will be described in more detail with
reference to FIG.7.
If the client authentication part 203 receives information of the domain request 101
from the server control part 209, then the domain request 101 is authenticated. For example,
the client authentication part 203 receives information such as identification, a password and a resident registration number of the domain request 101 from the server control part
209. Then the client authentication part 203 authenticates the domain requester 101 and the
Internet user 102 by using data stored in the hosting integration database 201.
The domain assignment module 205 receives a domain request signal from the
domain requester 101 and opens a domain corresponding to the domain requester 101 and
settles an account to open the domain. The domain request signal comprises domain open
information like memory information, domain requester information, open domain features,
settlement information and using logo. Also, the domain assignment module 205 couples
the open domain with the logo icon selected by the domain requester 101. The function of
the domain assignment module 205 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
3.
The plug-in constructing engine 207 creates a plug-in in the logo domain server
105 by using data of the hosting integration database 201. The plug-in provides plural logo
icons updated by the logo domain server 105 with the domain requester 101 and the
Internet user 102. The domain requester 101 and the Internet user 102 can be provided the
updated logo icon tlirough an Internet site. For example, the domain requester 101, the
Internet user 102 and the logo domain server 105 can distribute the updated logo icon to their Internet site and other Internet sites in order to share the updated logo icon. Also, the
plug-in performs a utility function like data management or remote control. The inner
construction of the plug-in constructed by the plug-in constructing engine 207 will be
described in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.
The server control part 209 controls the logo domain server 105 on the whole. To
be more concrete, the server control part 209 transmits data and signals to the domain
requester 101 and the Internet user 102 and receives data and signals from the domain
requester 101 and the Internet user 102. And the server control part 209 controls
connections among all sessions in the logo domain server 105. The transmitting data of the
server control part 209 can comprise the updated logo icon.

the present Invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, the domain assignment module 205 comprises a memory
management part 301, a domain assignment part 303, and settlement processing part 305.
The domain assignment module 205 opens a domain to the domain requester 101 in
response to the domain request signal of the domain requester 101.
If the memory management part 301 receives the domain request signal from the domain requester 101, thereafter the memory management part 301 confirms whether it
recognizes the settlement or not and assigns a domain memory corresponding to the
request of the domain requester 101.
After the memory management part 301 confirms whether it recognizes the
settlement or not, the domain assignment part 303 creates a classification code and a logo
icon for opening a domain. And the memory management part 301 opens a domain
corresponding to the domain requester 101 to the extent of memories assigned by the
memory management part 301.
The domain assignment part 303 will be described in more detail with reference to
FIG. 4.
The settlement processing part 305 processes the settlement corresponding to the
domain requester 101, and transmits a settlement authentication result to the domain
assignment part 303 and the memory management part 301.
The settlement processing part 305 will be described in more detail with reference

part 401 and the logo icon creating part 403. The logo file selected by the domain requester
101 can be a logo file provided by the domain server 105.
The classification code creating part 401 creates a classification code according to
the request condition of the domain request signal, and transmits the classification code to
the processing part 405.
The logo Icon creating part 403 creates a logo icon by using the logo file selected
by the domain requester 101, and transmits the logo icon to the processing part 405.
The logo icon can be displayed as "wallpaper" of an operating system used by the
domain requester 101 or the Internet user 102. That is, the logo icon can be displayed as
wallpaper of a personal computer used by the domain requester 101 or the Internet user
102.
Also, the Internet user 102 stores private information about the logo icon. And if the Internet user 102 clicks the logo icon, then the Internet user 102 connects with the site
and logs into the site automatically by using the private information.
The private information comprises the identification and the password to log into
the site corresponding to the logo icon. The log in method by using the logo icon must
accompany the cryptography.
The Internet user 102 can search information by using the logo icon directly. Also,
the Internet user 102 can search from a higher concept logo icon to a lower concept logo
icon. The Internet user 102 can search by using the text input function included in the logo
icon.
For example, the Internet user 102 wants to search a soccer player Hong Myoung-
Bo. If the Internet user 102 clicks an exercise logo icon, then lower concept logo icons
corresponding to the exercise logo icon are displayed. If the Internet user 102 selects a
soccer logo icon of the lower concept logo icons and clicks the right button of a mouse, a
text input window is displayed. If the Internet user 102 inputs 'Hong Myoung-Bo' in the
text input window and requests a search, then the search result is displayed.
The processing part 405 couples the created classification code with the logo icon,
and stores them in the hosting integration database 201 through the input/output part 407. As described above, the domain assignment part 303 confirms the settlement
authentication result of the domain requester 101 and creates the classification code and
the logo icon for opening the domain. Also, the domain assignment part 303 opens the
domain by using the memory assigned by the memory management part 301.
