  • Patent number: 11303610
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for servers generating a suggested domain name from a requested domain name via a modification using a variation algorithm using a first variation technique in a plurality of variation techniques. The server(s) render a user feedback interface including the suggested domain name and a first and second user interface control encoding a positive and negative response to the variation technique respectively. After decoding a response, the server(s) generate a user interface allowing the user to review which of the suggested domain names have been liked or added to a favorites list by other users.

  • Patent number: 10140644
    Abstract: A system and method for the generation and presentation of candidate domain names are presented. The method includes receiving, by at least one server communicatively coupled to a network, a request to access or purchase access to a software application, the request being received from a user. Keywords associated with at least one of the user, a website of the user, and a business of the user are generated and a candidate domain name relevant to the keywords is generated. A user interface is displayed including the candidate domain name. The user interface enables the user to register the candidate domain name. A plurality of candidate domain names may be generated and organized into carousels or stacks according to a common theme. The candidate domain names may be displayed on a user interface and arranged thereon according to a relevance score of the domain name bundles.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for servers generating a suggested domain name from a requested domain name via a modification using a variation algorithm using a first variation technique in a plurality of variation techniques. The server(s) render a user feedback interface including the suggested domain name and a first and second user interface control encoding a positive and negative response to the variation technique respectively. After decoding a response, If the number of positive or negative responses is greater than a threshold, the user responds to a prompt asking if these types of suggested domain names should be consistently suggested or permanently deleted.

  • Publication number: 20160042066
    Abstract: Example methods are disclosed for a search engine to produce a list of links to websites and for a domain name registrar to produce a plurality of domain names for a user. The list of links to websites and the plurality of domain names are preferably based on a search string and a desired relevance. A high desired relevance leads to exact or very close matches while a low desired relevance leads to indirect or exploratory matches when comparing the search string with the list of links to websites or the plurality of domain names. A webpage having a search string entry field and a relevance slider interface may be displayed to the user permitting the search engine or the domain name registrar to receive the search string and the desired relevance from the user. The search engine or domain name registrar may then determine and display to the user the list of links to the websites or the plurality of available domain names based on the search string and the desired relevance.

  • Publication number: 20150212710
    Abstract: Methods are provided to display a plurality of candidate domain names identified in a domain name search in a manageable user interface. The user interface displays the candidate domain names on cards that can be interacted with to display information about the candidate domain names, store the candidate domain names for later review, and purchase the candidate domain names. The user interface enables the purchase of a candidate domain name directly from a list of domain search results.

  • Publication number: 20150215271
    Abstract: A user may enter a user search in a search field. The user search and/or data associated with the user may be used to create a plurality of SLDs and a plurality of TLDs. A plurality of suggested domain names may be created using the SLDs and TLDs and displayed to the user in a single column and the plurality of TLDs may be displayed to the user in a single horizontal row. The location of the displayed suggested domain names and TLDs may be switched in some embodiments. The user search may also be tokenized and the user may select one of the tokens, a displayed SLD or a displayed TLD to lock (or spin in some embodiments) the selected token(s), SLD(s) and/or TLD(s) so that all new displayed suggested domain names include the locked token(s), SLD(s) and/or TLD(s). New suggested domain names may then be created that include the locked token(s), SLD(s) and/or TLD(s) and displayed to the user.
