Systems and methods for communicating across various communication applications using single address strings
a communication application and address string technology, applied in the field of address strings, can solve the problems of increasing difficult to remember, and unsatisfactory corresponding increases in the number and types of address strings associated with each such communication form, and achieve the effect of reducing the number of different addressing strings used

Benefits of technology
[0022]Accordingly, these and other objects are achieved in the present invention providing addressing strings formats and associated system implementations to minimize the number of different addressing strings used for communicating across different communication applications.
Problems solved by technology
The increase in the number of ways to communicate, however, has resulted in an undesirable corresponding increase in both the number and types of address strings associated with each such form of communication.
One problem with the existing approach of assigning one address string per user per communication application is the generation of multiple address strings for a single recipient.
Domain Names have grown increasingly longer in length over time, making them harder to remember.
In addition, there is a general lack of a standards as to what spelling conventions will be adhered to in the domain name composition, or even what language they are to appear in.
Since domain names are often registered for legal recognition, such lack of standards often translate into having to register a domain name in numerous ways to encompass the different languages and / or spelling variations within each language in which domain name is to be used.
Furthermore, since for practical purposes there are a relatively limited number of words with which to create a domain name, legal ramifications such as trademark disputes and the illicit cumulating of domain names in violation of cybersquatting laws have followed.
A DNS is also limited in the handling of errors or variations in the inputted Domain Name such as those caused by misspelling or mistakes, such as insertion of an underline instead of a hyphen in the address.
These errors or variations often cause the DNS to not recognize and / or improperly resolve the address string, resulting in the failure of the user to connect to an intended destination in a DNS based system.
In addition, a DNS based system is largely limited to the Internet web addresses and does not address the problem of multiple address strings for other communication applications such as emails and telephone numbers.
These attempts, however, fall short of solving the problem of multiple addressing strings per user for several reasons.
This however, does not allow for a direct calling and connecting to a human being by a standard voice call as in a telephone system.
Second, the messaging systems are primarily designed for a telephone service operation such as fax, voice box, etc and still do not address the multiple addressing strings problem of other applications such as emails and URL.

Embodiment Construction
[0042]The systems and methods of the present invention are generally implemented to minimize the number of different addressing strings that are inputted by the users for communicating across different communication applications.
[0043]Referring more particularly to the drawings, FIG. 1.0 illustrates a method by which a user's input is translated into machine usable form. As shown in FIG. 1 a user action 100 such as a request to access a World Wide Web (WWW) location is inputted into an input device 101 such as a Web Browser in form of an input string 102.
[0044]FIG. 1.1 provides further examples of the general approach illustrated in FIG. 1.0. More particularly, FIG. 1.1 illustrates four diverse user actions 110-113 that are inputted into four different input devices using four different system input strings. In the 110 example, the user action is a request for a telephone connection using a telephone number as an input string. In the 111 example, the user action is a request for acc...

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing addressing strings formats and associated system implementations to minimize the number of different addressing strings used for communicating across different communication applications. The systems and methods receive a valid address string that can be inputted into a communication applications selected from a collection of communication applications wherein the same address string can be inputted for any selected communication application from that collection.
