System and method for registering network information strings
First Claim
1. A method for registering a network information string comprising:
- receiving at an information string server device a request to register a network information string from a computing device, wherein the network information string is selected from the group consisting of at least a portion of a network name identifier and at least a portion of a media access control (MAC) address and wherein the request comprises owner identifying information;
determining by the information string server device whether the network information string has been previously registered with the information string server device;
registering by the information string server device the network information string in association with the owner identifying information when the network information string has not been previously registered with the information string server device;
granting by the information string server device owner rights, the owner rights limited to content stored in association with the registered network information string and wherein the owner rights comprise, a right to delete content stored in a second record associated with the registered network information string but not associated with the owner identifying information;
receiving at the information string server device a request to associate content with the network information string;
storing by the information string server device content in association with the network information string in a first record of an information string datastore when the request to associate content includes the owner identifying information associated with the registered network information string;
storing by the information string server device the content in association with the network information string in the second record of an information string datastore when the request to associate content does not include the owner identifying information associated with the registered network information string;
receiving by the information string server device a request to delete content from the second record; and
deleting by the information string server device the content from the second record in response to the request to delete content in accordance with the granted owner rights.

Abstract
A system and method for registering network information strings. An information string server device receives a request to register a network information string from a computing device. The network information string may be included in a message broadcast by a string broadcast station. The information string server device determines whether the network information string has been previously registered with the information string server device. The information string server device stores the network information string in a record of an information string datastore when the network information string has not been previously registered with the information string server device. A registration acceptance message may be sent by the information string server device to the computing device when the network information string has not been previously registered with the information string server device.

8. A system for registering a network information string comprising:
-
an information string server device comprising a processor configured with software instructions to cause the information string server device to perform operations comprising; receiving a request to register a network information string from a computing device, wherein the network information string is selected from the group consisting of at least a portion of a network name identifier and at least a portion of a media access control (MAC) address and wherein the request comprises owner identifying; determining whether the network information string has been previously registered with the information string server device; registering the network information string in association with the owner identifying information when the network information string has not been previously registered with the information string server device; and granting owner rights, the owner rights limited to over content stored in association with the registered network information string and wherein the owner rights-comprise a right to delete content stored in a second record associated with the registered network information string but not associated with the owner identifying information; receiving a request to associate content with the network information string; storing by the information string server device content in association with the network information string in a first record of an information string datastore when the request to associate content includes the owner identifying information associated with the registered network information string; storing the content in association with the network information string in the second record of an information string datastore when the request to associate content does not include the owner identifying information associated with the registered network information string; receiving a request to delete content from the second record; and deleting by the information string server device the content from the second record in response to the request to delete content in accordance with the granted owner rights. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 13, 14)
