Domain Name Contact Data Verification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for registering domain names face issues such as ambiguity in contact data, particularly with geographic-based domain names, and the risk of domain hijacking due to one-to-one relationships between registration data and contact data, which can lead to loss of control over domain names.
Innovation Solution
A system that verifies and updates unique contact data for domain name registrants, allowing selection and association of contact data with domain names, and generates a verification code to confirm correspondence addresses, ensuring accurate and consistent contact information across all domain registration records.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If contact data is stored in a one-to-one relationship with domain name registration data, then domain name control can be maintained, but ambiguity in contact data and risk of domain hijacking increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments contact data into distinct, identifiable records with unique identifiers. Each contact data record is separated into its own entity rather than being embedded within registration data, allowing for clear distinction and elimination of ambiguity between different contact information associated with domain names.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary contact data record that mediates between domain name registration data and external communication. This intermediary layer provides a clear, unambiguous interface for contact information while maintaining the one-to-one relationship needed for security, preventing domain hijacking by ensuring only verified contact data can be used for critical operations.
2Stability of the object's composition
If contact data is updated across multiple domain names, then consistency is improved, but the complexity of managing and verifying contact information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying by providing templates or examples of correct contact data formats that can be replicated across multiple domain name records. Once contact data is verified for one domain name, the verified format and information can be copied to other domain names, ensuring consistency while reducing the complexity of manual verification for each individual record.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing contact data verification protocols and standards before domain name registrations are created or updated. By pre-defining the structure, format, and validation rules for contact data, the system ensures consistency across all domain names without requiring complex real-time management interventions.
3Measurement precision
If verification processes are implemented for contact information, then accuracy is improved, but the time and resources required for verification increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by implementing verification only for critical contact data fields that are essential for domain name security and ownership verification, rather than verifying all contact information. This selective approach maintains high accuracy for security-critical data while reducing overall verification time and resource consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where verification results from one contact data record inform and streamline verification processes for subsequent records. Once contact information patterns are verified and validated, the system uses this feedback to automatically validate similar patterns in other records, reducing redundant verification steps and processing time.

AI summary
Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: identify a first contact data and a second contact data associated with at least one domain name stored in a database communicatively coupled to the network; a user interface may be displayed, allowing a user to select the first contact data or a second contact data, and the server may then: receive a selection of the first contact data to be associated with the at least one domain name; disassociate the second contact data from the at least one domain name; and update a plurality of domain names, comprising the first domain name, to be associated with the first contact data.
