  • Patent number: 10812449
    Abstract: A computer device, a computer-readable medium and a computer-implemented method is provided. The computer device and the computer-readable medium perform the computer-implemented method of generating unregistered internet domain names using a trained encoder function and a trained decoder function. The method includes obtaining one or more seed domain names; mapping, using a hardware processor implementing the trained encoder function, the one or more seed domain names in a low-dimensional information-rich latent space; modifying a representation of one domain name of the one or more seed domain names that is encoded in the low-dimensional information-rich latent space; and generating, using the hardware processor implementing the trained decoder function, one or more unregistered domain names for domain name registration from the representation that is modified.

  • Patent number: 10764245
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for provide alternative domain names for a single Internet website to different users in results of search queries. The systems and methods can perform operations including maintaining alternative domain names for a single webpage of a content provider and associated context information of the alternative domain names. The operations also include receiving a request for the context information and providing the context information in response to the request. The operations further include receiving a notification of usage of an alternative domain name based on the context information. Additionally, the operations include determining usage metrics for the plurality of alternative domain names of the content provider based on the usage information. Moreover, the operations include periodically culling alternative domain names of the content provider based on the usage metrics.

  • Publication number: 20020087529
    Abstract: A system that provides users of both fixed and wireless Internet devices, a method of entering numbers instead of the text characters of Internet Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and other Internet identifiers to access Internet resources and functions, such as Web sites and digital business cards. When the user enters a WebNum, the digits of the WebNum are processed by the WebNum system and the WebNum is mapped back to a URL or a file containing the content of a digital business card. The content is specially formatted for display on a wireless device. For a WebNum mapping to a digital business card, a WebNum application server retrieves the content and returns it to the device for displaying.
