Abstract

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: monitor a character stream; identify characters comprising a domain name request; identify a token in a language character map comprising the characters and associated with a language; generate, using a software translation engine, a translation of the first token into a second language; generate candidate domain names comprising: a domain name comprising the token; and a second domain name comprising the second token; modify, in real time, a user interface control to display the list of candidate domain names.

Claims

1. A system comprising at least one processor executing instructions causing a server computer, coupled to a network, to:

monitor a character stream, received from a user interface control displayed on a client computer coupled to the network;

decode, within the character stream, a plurality of characters comprising a request to search or register a domain name;

query a database, coupled to the network, to identify, within a language character map, a first token comprising the plurality of characters and associated in the language character map with a first language;

generate, using a software translation engine, a second token comprising a translation of the first token into a second language;

retrieve a plurality of registered domain names from a domain name system (DNS) zone file;

identify, within the zone file, for each of a plurality of registered domain names, a plurality of tokens including the first token and the second token, and a Top Level Domain (TLD);

store the plurality of tokens and the TLD in a database coupled to the network;

generate a sum of a running total of;

at least one TLD associated with each of the plurality of registered domain names;

at least one token identified in each of the plurality of registered domain names;

at least one language, determined by the at least one token, associated with each of the plurality of registered domain names; and

a plurality of adjacent tokens in each of the plurality of registered domain names;

generate a list of candidate domain names comprising;

a first domain name comprising the first token; and

a second domain name comprising the second token;

modify, in real time, the user interface control to display the list of candidate domain names.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the language character map comprises:

a plurality of valid characters for each of a plurality of languages;

a plurality of tokens associated in the language character map with each of the plurality of languages;

a part of speech associated in the language character map with each of the plurality of tokens;

a translation of each of the plurality of tokens into at least one additional language in the language map.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one additional user interface control displaying an additional candidate domain name and displayed in response to the server computer modifying the user interface control to display the list of candidate domain names.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the additional candidate domain name is translated into at least one additional language.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the list of candidate domain names further comprises a transliteration of at least one character in the first language into at least one character in the second language.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the list of candidate domain names further comprises a translation of the first token or the second token into a phonetic script.

7. A method comprising the steps of:

monitoring, by a server computer coupled to a network, a character stream, received from a user interface control displayed on a client computer coupled to the network;

decoding, by the server computer, within the character stream, a plurality of characters comprising a request to search or register a domain name;

querying, by the server computer, a database, coupled to the network, to identify, within a language character map, a first token comprising the plurality of characters and associated in the language character map with a first language;

generating, by the server computer, using a software translation engine, a second token comprising a translation of the first token into a second language;

retrieving, by the server computer, a plurality of registered domain names from a domain name system (DNS) zone file;

identifying, by the server computer, within the zone file, for each of a plurality of registered domain names, a plurality of tokens including the first token and the second token, and a Top Level Domain (TLD); and

storing, by the server computer, the plurality of tokens and the TLD in the database;

generating, by the server computer, a sum of a running total of;

at least one TLD associated with each of the plurality of registered domain names;

at least one token identified in each of the plurality of registered domain names;

at least one language, determined by the at least one token, associated with each of the plurality of registered domain names; and

a plurality of adjacent tokens in each of the plurality of registered domain names;

generating, by the server computer, a list of candidate domain names comprising;

a first domain name comprising the first token; and

a second domain name comprising the second token;

modifying, by the server computer, in real time, the user interface control to display the list of candidate domain names.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the language character map comprises:

a plurality of valid characters for each of a plurality of languages;

a plurality of tokens associated in the language character map with each of the plurality of languages;

a part of speech associated in the language character map with each of the plurality of tokens;

a translation of each of the plurality of tokens into at least one additional language in the language map.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising at least one additional user interface control displaying an additional candidate domain name and displayed in response to the server computer modifying the user interface control to display the list of candidate domain names.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the additional candidate domain name is translated into at least one additional language.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the list of candidate domain names further comprises a transliteration of at least one character in the first language into at least one character in the second language.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein the list of candidate domain names further comprises a translation of the first token or the second token into a phonetic script.
