Solution Overview

Problem

Existing domain name registration processes do not effectively utilize geographic location data to suggest and register domain names, limiting users' ability to secure relevant and memorable domain names based on their location.

Innovation Solution

Integration of online mapping service software with domain name suggestion and registration software, allowing users to select geographical locations and receive suggested domain names parsed for keywords related to those areas, combined with Top Level Domains (TLDs), enabling registration of domain names that reflect specific geographic locations or areas.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If domain name registration processes are traditional and do not utilize geographic location data, then users can register domain names, but users cannot effectively discover or secure geographically relevant and memorable domain names

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeographic relevance of domain namesVSAvoiddifficulty in discovering relevant domain names
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating domain name suggestions based on geographic location data before the user needs to register. The software parses available domain names for keywords related to the selected geographical area and presents suggestions in advance, allowing users to discover relevant domain names without manual searching or brainstorming.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically analyzing geographic location data, parsing domain name databases for relevant keywords, and generating customized domain name suggestions without requiring user intervention in the analysis process. Users simply select their geographic area and receive tailored suggestions, making the discovery process autonomous and efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If the system integrates mapping service software with domain_name suggestion software, then users can easily discover geographically relevant domain names, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of domain name discoveryVSAvoidsoftware integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges mapping service software with domain_name suggestion software into an integrated platform. The mapping service displays geographic areas and allows user selection, while the domain_name suggestion engine simultaneously parses and analyzes domain names based on the selected location. This combination provides a unified user experience where geographic selection automatically triggers relevant domain suggestions, eliminating the need for separate tools or manual processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system parses available domain names for keywords related to geographical areas, then domain name suggestions become more relevant and targeted, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeting accuracy of suggestionsVSAvoidprocessing time for suggestion generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by parsing only the necessary portion of the domain_name database that is relevant to the selected geographic area. Rather than analyzing all available domain names, the software focuses on parsing keywords specifically related to the user's chosen location, thereby reducing processing time and computational resources while still providing highly targeted and relevant suggestions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for displaying, suggesting and registering available domain names on a client computer based on selected geographical locations from online mapping service software or a geo-location software. Any combination of an online mapping software and a domain name registration software may receive a selection of one or more geographical locations within a displayed geographical area. Alternatively, a location of a client computer may be detected using the geo-location software. One or more available domain names may be parsed for keywords related to the selected geographical area, and one or more available domain names may be suggested based on the selected keywords.
