Abstract

This invention relates to the field of wireless data communication technologies and network domain name parsing technologies, provides a method and a system for connecting words, phrases, or symbols of any languages or multimedia expressions, within the content of transmitted data, to URI or IP Addresses. The presented method of the invention defines Telecom Codes, Content Names, and connections, receives and analyzes the transmitted content, and transmits it to the corresponding URI or IP Addresses. The presented system of the invention combines both software and hardware functions, with the hardware portion comprising a Processor, a Memory, a Display Device, an Input Device, and a Communication Interface, and the software portion comprising an Operating System, a Client Data Management Module including Management Interface, a Database Software, a collection of URI or IP Addresses configured in the Database Software, a group of defined Content Names configured in the Database Software, the Connection relations and the Rules of assignment configured in the Database Software, analysis and directing functional modules, and communication interfaces. The presented method and system of the invention has solved the problems associated with URI or IP Addresses, which can be very difficult to memorize and cumbersome and inefficient to key in, and have developed new applications: WAP Site Linkage, Multiple Content Names Connecting to a Single URI or IP Address, Grouping and Search of WAP Pages.

Claims

1. A method for connecting words, phrases, or symbols within the content of the transmitted data or multimedia expressions to URI or IP Address, comprising steps of:

a). building up a category, and list the URI or IP Addresses into a corresponding directory, the URI or IP Address can represent any objects;

b). defining a unique format or form of any selected word(s), phrase(s), or symbol(s) in any languages, or of any multimedia expressions, or of any combination of the above, as a Content Name, each of such unique Content Names can be located in any place within the transmitted data, all the defined Content Names are configured in a database;

c). assigning the specific Content Name(s) to the specific URI or IP Addresses, the connection relations and the assignment rules are characterized as valid and effective, but are not necessarily on an one-to-one basis, each of the connection relations and of the assignment rules is configured in the database;

d). designing a logic structure and computing programs to manage the SMS Short Codes in the Database, Content Names, and assignment functions, to receive the transmitted content, to extract the Content Names from the contents, to search the particular URI or IP Address corresponding to the Content Names, and to notify the terminal to sign on the URL or IP corresponding to the content of the information.

2. The method in claim 1, wherein the URI or IP Address is URI or IP Address of multimedia expression or stream media.

3. The method in claim 1, wherein the URI or IP Address is the URI or IP Address of a WAP site.

4. The method in claim 1, wherein the contents of transmitted telecom data are SMS contents in wireless communications or instant message (IM) contents in instant communications.

5. The method in claim 1, wherein the defined Content Names are any of the selected word(s), phrase(s), or symbol(s) in any languages, or of any combination of the above.

6. The method in claim 5, wherein the defined Content Names are any of the selected word(s), phrase(s), symbol(s) in Chinese, English, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Turkey, or Arabic, or of any combination of the above.

7. The method in claim 1, wherein assignments of the specific Content Names corresponding to URIs or IP Addresses are in three types:

a specific Content Name connecting to a specific URI or IP Address, a specific Content Name connecting to two or more URIs or IP Addresses, two or more specific Content Names corresponding to a specific URI or IP Address.

8. A system for connecting words, phrases, or symbols within the content of transmitted data to URIs or IP Addresses, including both software and hardware portions, the combination of which can independently accomplish the functions of connecting words, phrases, or symbols of any languages or multimedia expressions, within the content of transmitted data, to URIs or IP Addresses, the hardware portion of this system comprises a Processor, a Memory, a Display Device, an Input Device, and a Communication Interface, and the software portion of the system comprises an Operating System, Client Data Management Modules includes a Management Interface, a Database Software, a collection of URIs or IP Addresses configured in the Database Software, a group of defined Content Names configured in the Database Software, the Connection relations and the Rules of assignment configured in the Database Software, Analysis and Redirecting Function Modules, and Communication Interfaces.

9. The system in claim 8, wherein the hardware portion is configured with computing hardware components and parts of prior arts and the software programs include the Operating System of prior arts and the Database Software of prior arts.

10. The system in claim 9, wherein the hardware portion is a computer of prior arts with the required hardware configuration.
