Definitions
- This invention generally relates selecting online advertisements, and more specifically relates to a method, product, and apparatus for using a URI component to select and provide advertising, search terms, and available identifiers.
- the Internet is a vast computer network consisting of many smaller networks that span the world.
- a network provides a distributed communicating system of computers that are interconnected by various electronic communication links and computer software protocols. Because of the Internet's distributed and open network architecture, it is possible to transfer data from one computer to any other computer worldwide.
- WWW World-Wide-Web
- HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol
- TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
- IP Internet Protocol
- HTTP protocol permits client systems connected to the Internet to access independent and geographically scattered server systems also connected to the Internet.
- Client side browsers such as Netscape Navigator and/or Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) provide graphical user interface (GUI) based client applications that implement the client side portion of the HTTP protocol.
- GUI graphical user interface
- HTML pages are made up of standard text as well as formatting codes that indicate how the page should be displayed. The client side browser reads these codes in order to display the page.
- a web page may be static and requires no variables to display information or link to other predetermined web pages.
- a web page is dynamic when arguments are passed which are either hidden in the web page or entered from a client browser to supply the necessary inputs displayed on the web page.
- Common Gateway Interface CGI is a standard for running external programs from a web server.
- CGI specifies how to pass arguments to the executing program as part of the HTTP server request.
- a CGI script may take the name and value arguments from an input form of a first web page which may be used as a query to access a database server and generate an HTML web page with customized data results as output that is passed back to the client browser for display.
- the Web is a means of accessing information on the Internet that allows a user to “surf the web” and navigate Internet resources intuitively, without technical knowledge.
- the Web dispenses with command-line utilities, which typically require a user to transmit sets of commands to communicate with an Internet server. Instead, the Web is made up of millions of interconnected web pages, or documents, which may be displayed on a computer monitor. Hosts running special servers provide the Web pages. Software that runs these Web servers is available on a wide range of computer platforms including PC's.
- URI Uniform Resource Identifier
- a Uniform Resource Identifier is a compact string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource. URIs, is the generic set of all names and addresses that refer to objects on the Internet. URIs that refer to objects accessed with existing protocols are known as URLs.
- a URL is the address of a file accessible on the Internet. The URL contains the name of the protocol required to access the resource, a domain name, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), or IP address that identifies a specific computer on the Internet, and a hierarchical description of a file location on the computer.
- the URI “http://www.example.com:80/index.html#appendix” is the concatenation of several components where “http:” is the scheme or protocol, “//www.example.com” is the FQDN having “www” as the host of the domain name “example.com”, “:80” is the port connection for the HTTP server request, “index.html” is the filename located on the server, “#appendix” is the identifier to display a fragment of the HTML file called “index”.
- the URL “http://www.example.com” also retrieves an HTML file called “index” on a HTTP server called “example.com”. By default, when either a port or filename is omitted upon accessing a HTTP server via a URL, the client browser interprets the request by connecting via port 80, and retrieving the HTML file called “index”.
- a domain name consists of two parts: a host and a domain.
- the letters to the right of the “dot” are referred to as Top Level Domains (TLDs)
- TLDs Top Level Domains
- SLDs second-level domains
- TLDs the letters to the right of the “dot”
- TLDs hosts, computers with assigned IP addresses that are listed in specific TLD registries
- SLDs second-level domains
- Domain name space is the ordered hierarchical set of all possible domain names either in use or to be used for locating an IP address on the Internet.
- TLDs are known as top-level domains because they comprise the highest-order name space available on the Internet.
- Second-level domains, as well as third-level domains (3LDs) such as “king.tut.net”, are subsidiary to TLDs in the hierarchy of the Internet's DNS.
- URLs are used in media and written in documents or typed within e-mail, and data files, etc. as a means to make reference to online content that helps express the context of the ideas one wishes to communicate.
- URLs are generally written in an abbreviated manner as partial URLs or domain names (e.g., “http://www.example.com” is the URL, “www.example.com” is the FQDN, and “example.com” is the domain name).
- domain names e.g., “http://www.example.com” is the URL
- www.example.com” is the FQDN
- example.com is the domain name
- Improvements have been made to recognize partial URLs when entered in the location field of a web browser or network accessible device for automatically appending protocol information so a full URL request can be made.
- the browser modifies the request by adjusting the partial URL and adding “http://” in front of the domain name or FQDN in order to construct a valid URL.
- companies have modified their advertising and distribution of URLs through print, film, radio, television and other media as “example.com” or “www.example.com” instead of the URL “http://www.example.com”.
- the mnemonic is only applicable when using a command line of a device or location field of a web browser program as a means to access the advertised web site.
- a CGI script called “weather” is executed passing the value “44106” for the name “zip”, which in this case represents a zip code.
- the present invention allows portions of a URI to be used as a search request for advertising selection.
- the invention allows for coupons, rebates, offers and advertising to de displayed or printed in response to keywords extracted from a URI or meta content corresponding with the page source of such a URI.
- the present invention displays keywords extracted from Meta or Title information to assist a user or subscriber with search terms to help form a query or search request.
- the invention also displays available identifiers such as domain names in addition to the displayed search terms.
- the present invention allows for keywords used as a search request to be further used as path names to generate a shorter URI on the fly in real time rather than displaying such search results from a longer URI.
- the invention further uses extracted keywords to display advertising that represents competition to the received URI.
- the present invention reduces the extra steps of remembering or typing and possibly misspelling a recipient address, by combining the functions of sending e-mail by only typing in a URI.
- the invention enables the user to combine Boolean logic with valid URI notation to generate a search request from the URI or vice-versa.
- a method for locating a network resource from a first identifier having a valid accessible first URI includes the steps of parsing at least one URI component from the first URI, selecting a first content corresponding to said at least one URI component of the first URI, generating a valid accessible second URI that accesses said first content, and accessing the first URI and said second URI.
- a method for processing a search request having at least one keyword wherein the search results of the search request is accessed from an accessible first URI having a query component that corresponds to the at least one keyword includes the steps of generating a second URI having a default file that accesses the first URI and a non-query component that corresponds to the at least one keyword, and accessing said second URI.
- a method for sending a message to an e-mail address includes the steps of accessing an accessible first URI, wherein said first URI is not an e-mail address, submitting the message to be sent from said first URI, generating the e-mail address from said first URI in response to submitting the message, and sending the message to the generated e-mail address.
- a computer-readable medium that includes computer-executable instructions may be used to perform substantially the same methods as those described above is provided.

- the processes and operations performed by the computer include the manipulation of data bits by a local processing unit and/or remote server and the maintenance of these bits within data structures resident in one or more of the local or remote memory storage devices. These data structures impose a physical organization upon the collection of data bits stored within a memory storage device and represent electromagnetic spectrum elements.
- a process may generally be defined as being a sequence of computer-executed steps leading to a desired result. These steps generally require physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities may take the form of electrical, magnetic, or optical signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, or otherwise manipulated. It is conventional for those skilled in the art to refer to these signals as bits or bytes (when they have binary logic levels), pixel values, works, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, points, records, objects, images, files, directories, subdirectories, or the like. It should be kept in mind, that these and similar terms should be associated with appropriate physical quantities for computer operations, and that these terms are merely conventional labels applied to physical quantities that exist within and during operation of the computer.
- manipulations within the computer are often referred to in terms such as adding, comparing, moving, positioning, placing, illuminating, removing, altering, etc., which are often associated with manual operations performed by a human operator.
- the operations described herein are machine operations performed in conjunction with various input provided by a human operator or user that interacts with the computer.
- the machines used for performing the operation of the present invention include local or remote general-purpose digital computers or other similar computing devices.

- FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the steps performed by a prior art system for locating a network resource from an identifier by accessing a URI.
- a device such as a network access apparatus 110 , servlet, applet, stand-alone executable program, or user interface element such as a text box object, command line, speech to text interface, location field 814 of a web browser 112 , may receive and parse input such as text or voice in step 210 . It then may be determined in step 215 whether the input 210 is a URI. If the input is a URI, then an attempt may be made in step 220 to access the URI. The URI may be accessed when it is determined in step 222 that the URI is accessible.
- a URI may be generated from the input (e.g., if a scheme is missing the prefix “http://” or another scheme prefix may be concatenated to input). If so, then a URI is generated 230 and an attempt may be made in step 220 to access the URI. If the URI can not be generated or accessed, then a message indicating that the URI can not be generated or accessed may be displayed in step 235 .
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the steps performed for generating a valid URI.
- step 225 it may be determined in step 310 whether it is configured to determine whether other methods may be applied to access a valid URI corresponding to input. If configuration 174 is not enabled, then a message indicating that the URI can not be generated may be displayed in step 235 . However, when configuration is enabled, then at least one other method may be applied in step 315 in sequence or parallel including methods explained in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/532,500 filed Mar.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating the steps performed for generating a valid URI in response to determining that an existing valid URI is inaccessible.
- a valid URI may be generated in step 410 to access content by extracting identifiers such as keywords from the non-query component URI (e.g., directory, domain, port, or fragment, etc.) of the inaccessible URI and using such keywords or search terms as a search request or as the query portion of the generated valid URI.
- identifiers such as keywords from the non-query component URI (e.g., directory, domain, port, or fragment, etc.) of the inaccessible URI and using such keywords or search terms as a search request or as the query portion of the generated valid URI.
- an attempt may be made in step 220 to access the URI.
- FIG. 5a is a flowchart illustrating the steps performed for generating an accessible second URI that retrieves an advertisement corresponding to components of a first URI.
- a script may be executed in step 510 to extract at least one keyword from any URI components and select in step 515 an advertisement from an advertising cache 190 that may correspond to any extracted keywords and/or to other identifiers that are similar to such extracted keywords.
- An accessible second URI may be generated in step 520 that provides, renders, and/or displays a web page having two frames. The first frame may access the selected ad and the second frame may access the first valid URI.
- the URI “http://books.com” is generated and URI components “http”, “books”, “com” may be extracted from the CGI script.
- the word “books” may be used to select an advertisement by consulting a table of advertisements and/or advertising cache 190 relating to the keyword “books”. Many advertisers may compete for rotation frequency of their ad per group or category.
- an accessible URI may be generated and when accessed displays the advertisement and web based location field in one frame and display the content of the URI “http://books.com” in the second frame.
- the URI “http://stories.top.com” may be generated based upon a selected access method (note that a variety of access methods may be used by the present invention to generate different accessible URIs if need be). Keywords extracted from URI are “stories” and “top”. A phrase such as “top stories” and “stories top” may also be generated from URI components to more specifically target ad categories for advertisers.
- FIG. 5b is a flowchart illustrating the steps performed generating an accessible second URI that retrieves an advertisement corresponding advertisement to meta-information of a first URI.
- a script may be executed in step 540 to submit a HTTP HEAD request of the valid URI.
- a HTTP response is received then at least one keyword may be extracted in step 545 from the response of the HEAD request from the ⁇ TITLE> and/or ⁇ META> tag of the target URI.
- ad may be selected and retrieved from an ad cache 190 corresponding to at least one extracted keyword.
- an accessible second URI may then be generated in step 555 that when accessed displays a web page with two frames.
- An ad may be accessed by the first frame including selectable keywords to assist the user in performing further targeted searching of other search requests, while accessing the first URI in the other frame.
- URI HEAD request further extracts keywords from the ⁇ META> tag or the ⁇ TITLE> tag from the URI to assist in yet more specific targeted ad rotation.
- keywords like “news”, “headlines”, “weather”, “sports”, for example, may be extracted from the ⁇ META> tag of the URI.
- the keywords may be used to select an ad from an ad cache the may reside on the client machine and/or locally through an advertising cache 190 stored at the Internet Service Provider (ISP)/Application Service Provider (ASP) or the like. If an ad can not be selected based on this information then keywords may be passed to generate a URI having a query to further assist in ad selection.
- ISP Internet Service Provider
- ASP Application Service Provider
- the display of suggested search terms or keywords to assist a user in refining a search request is not limited by the components of the URI to extract ⁇ META> or ⁇ TITLE> tag information from the next web page before displaying the next page.
- Such keywords may also be selected from any accessed content and/or the page source of the URI.
- such keywords may be selected from any URI components.
- Another preferred implementation is based on a search page as a front end for search engines.
- FIG. 5c is a flowchart illustrating the steps performed generating an accessible second URI that may access an advertisement, keywords, and available identifiers corresponding to a first URI.
- a script may be executed in step 560 to receive the page source of the first URI. Keywords may then be parsed in step 565 from URI components and/or the page source of the first URI. At least one available identifier (e.g. domain name) may be generated in step 570 by combining selected parsed keywords and determining identifier availability.
- Advertisements may be selected in step 575 by retrieving ads from an ad cache that corresponds to at least one keyword or generated identifier. After keyword extraction, identifier generation, and ad selection, an accessible second URI may be generated in step 580 that displays a web page with two frames having the selected ad in the first frame including links of any identifiers available for registration, and a list of selectable keywords to assist with targeted searching of other web pages, while the first URI is accessed in a second frame.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating the steps performed for extracting a domain or FQDN to determine hyperlinks or advertisements based on competition associated from a generated URI of received input.
- a script may be executed in step 610 to parse a FQDN from the valid URI.
- Data that corresponds to FQDN may be retrieved in step 615 from an ad database 190 so at least one hyperlink may be generated or at least one ad retrieved from data that represents competition to the FQDN.
- a second URI may be generated in step 620 that has at least one hyperlink or at least one ad as content.
- a third URI may be generated in step 625 that displays a web page with two frames having content of the valid URI in the first frame and the second URI in the second frame.
- Ads may be targeted by displaying a combination of competitor ads and/or hyperlinks in response to receiving the domain name or FQDN of the URI as input.
- the selected advertisement may corresponds to competition of an entity that manages the URI. For instance, the URI generated from input is “http://www.burgerking.com” and “burgerking” is extracted and determines that a McDonalds ad, rebate, or coupon may be displayed in conjunction with displaying the “burgerking” website. Links to a “McDonalds” web site may also be provided.
- Inputting an identifier such as “burgerking.44106” may generate the URI “http://44106.burgerking.com” and when “44106” is extracted from the identifier, Burger King locations near the zip code “44106” may be displayed in conjunction with the website.
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating the steps performed for generated an accessible URI based upon a search request.
- a keyword is parsed in step 710 from a received search request, it then may be determined in step 715 whether a directory exists for the keyword. If the directory exists then it may further be determined in step 720 whether a file exists within the directory. If a file exists then it may be determined in step 725 whether the content of the file requires modification. If modification is needed then the content of the file may be modified in step 730 as necessary. If the directory does not exist then a directory may be created in step 735 .
- a file within the directory may be created in step 740 forming a URI that accesses results of the search request.
- an attempt may be made in step 220 to access the URI.
- the home page of a website “http://update.to/index.htm” may provide an input text box that is used as a search request front end to pass variables to a CGI script.
- a script may be executed to determine whether a directory called “news” exists on the server “update.to”. When it is determined that a “news” directory does not exist, then the directory may be created.
- index.htm a file called “index.htm” is created in the “news” directory to generate the URI “http://update.to/news/index.htm”.
- shorter URLs are generated in real time or on-the-fly when necessary and used as a substitute or proxy for longer URLs.
- any filename may be used, it is a preferred aspect to use “index.htm” as a frame or redirect so the proxy URL is even shorter in string length.
- a shorter URL makes it easier for a user to remember the URL for future use.
- the invention is not limited to using only a FLD as a search request. Any directory or combination of directory levels may be either generated on the fly or used as a search request.
- a domain e.g. SLD, 3LD
- any combination of domain levels may in turn be used to generate a query.
- search requests include three keywords or less.
- an accessible URI http://example.com/coffee/cream/sugar/index.htm” may be generated in response processing the search request “coffee and cream and sugar”.
- the input “example.com/coffee/cream/sugar” may generate search results in response to processing a web address or URI as a search request.
- Boolean logic may be applied to extend variations of other search requests.
- URI notation may be used as a system to generate a Boolean search request from the URI or vice-versa.
- the search request “coffee or cream or sugar” may yield “http://example.com/coffee.cream.sugar/index.htm”
- a URI to reduce user steps
- web pages may be generated such that on each web page there corresponds a hidden variable of an e-mail address as a means to contact the owner of the web page. This is particularly useful when the web page serves as a web based e-mail interface to contact a recipient such as a friend, co-worker, or business entity. For instance, when “http://zipit.to/president” is received as input and accessed, a web page may be displayed allowing anyone viewing the web page to compose an e-mail message without having to enter the e-mail address of the recipient.
- e-mail may be delivered by using protocols other than the “mailto:” protocol.
- FIG. 8 is a diagram depicting how results may be displayed in a web browser in accordance with the present invention.
- a client 110 web browser 112 having a web page 810 is used to connect to a server 120 via the Internet 130 that executes a CGI script 812 .
- the location field of the web browser 112 is suppressed and the web page 810 displays at least two frames.
- the first frame is the web based location field 814 including room to rotate advertisements 815 and the second frame 816 may be used to display the content 150 of a web address.
- An input device 170 e.g., keyboard, mouse, pen light, touch screen, or microphone etc.
- a client computer or network access apparatus 110 is typically used to receive a web address as input directly from a hyperlink (not shown) in the web page 810 , or from the location field 814 of the web page 810 .
- a HTTP GET request may be generated from input and the browser 112 forwards the request to a server 120 , which processes the request by executing a CGI script 812 to extract URI components for ad selection.
- a first URI 206 may be generated to receive a selected ad 815 for display and refresh the web based location field 814 when accessed by the first frame.
- the content 150 of the URI generated from the input may be displayed in the second frame 816 of the web page 810 when accessed.
- the location field 814 of the first frame may either persist by displaying the input or may be cleared out for entry of the next web address.
- Both the first URI and second URI may be generated as frames and displayed as a web page 810 by the CGI script 812 .
- Another web page 810 ′ (as discussed in FIG. 5b ) having a location field that is suppressed may be displayed by using a different CGI script 812 ′.
- the first frame 818 is the web based location field 814 including room to rotate advertisements 815 ′ and display suggested keywords, available domain names 822 , or search terms 825 to assist a user in selecting a more specific search.
- the second frame 820 may be used to display the content 150 of a web address.
- a URI GET request may be generated from input, and the browser 112 may forward the request to a server 120 , which processes the request by executing a CGI script 812 to determine validity of the input.
- An accessible URI is generated from the input and then a URI HEAD request may obtain and extract header information from the accessible URI to determine what advertisement 815 ′ and/or keywords 825 may be generated and displayed in the first frame 818 of the web page 810 ′ whereas the content of the second frame 820 is the content of the URI.
- Both the first URI and second URI may be generated as frames and displayed as a web page 810 ′ by the CGI script 812 ′.
- the text box object may be located anywhere and on any web page including a text box that may be embedded or displayed as part of an on-line advertisement.
- the text box object may be used in a stand-alone application or stored on magnetic and/or optical media that may be non-volatile, writable, removable, or portable.
- the text box object may be incorporated as an applet or servlet and embedded in other applications.
- the text box may be integrated in the taskbar or any part of the GUI's OS, or the OS bypassed and a user interface element overlaid as a graphic on a display device based on modifications to a video card and/or it's associated firmware or software drivers.
- a command line text box may be further overlaid as an interactive object in other embodiments such as Internet television, cable television, digital television, or interactive television through an Internet appliance or set top box.
- Those skilled in the art may make and use software program that functions as a browser plug-in.
- a program may be downloaded and installed for integration into the command line of a device or location field 154 of a browser program 112 .
- Modifying the source code of the browser program 112 itself may be more desirable, in effect, enabling tens of millions of users to take advantage of more creative ways to use input as a means to access a valid URI.
- advertising banner ads may be displayed directly as part of the GUI for the client browser 112 rather than limited to web page based banner ad displayed in a frame as discussed in FIG. 8 .
