Provided herein is a method for registering an IoT device with a DNS registry. The method can include obtaining, at a DNS server, an identifier, IP address, and a public key of an asymmetric key pair associated with the IoT device from a network gateway device that is in communication with the IoT device, wherein the asymmetric key pair is provisioned onto the IoT device and an associated private key stored within a memory of the IoT device at a time that IoT device is manufactured or during a predetermined time window after manufacturing; creating at least one DNS record for the IoT device; assigning a domain name associated with the internet protocol ('IP') address to the IoT device; storing the identifier, IP address, the domain name, and the public key in the at least one DNS record; and providing confirmation of the registration to the IoT device.

Registering, managing, and communicating with IoT devices using domain name system processes

Non-existent domain (NXD) queries may be monitored to determine if a keyword is included in NXD queries for a brand top level domain (TLD). When a predetermined number of NXD queries have been received for a brand domain that include the keyword, an action may be initiated. The action may be related to the registration of a new domain for the brand domain including the keyword.

NXD query monitor

Various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for transforming and distributing data in a distributed computing system. New data types are created on-demand by deriving, transforming, and aggregating data from already existing data sources. A data transformation engine identifies a first subscription request received from a first subscriber for a first resource included in a plurality of resources. The data transformation engine determines that the first resource is not available from any publisher included in a plurality of publishers. The data transformation engine generates a transformation rule that transforms a set of second resources available from a set of first publishers included in the plurality of publishers into the first resource. The data transformation engine transforms the set of second resources into the first resource based on the inferred transformation rule. The data transformation engine publishes the first resource to the first subscriber.

Feeding networks of message brokers with compound data elaborated by dynamic sources

Techniques for smart navigation are presented. The techniques can include receiving, at a navigation service and via the internet, a request for a network resource, where the request includes command data provided by a navigation client, and where the command data includes an entity name and a keyword. The techniques can include obtaining, from at least one database of the navigation service, a network locator corresponding to the entity name and the keyword. The techniques can further include providing, in response to the receiving and via the internet, the network locator.

Smart navigation services

Techniques for provisioning a smart navigation service are presented. The provisioning can be performed by a name owner, by the smart navigation service itself, or by a third-party keyword service. The provisioned information can include an entity name, a keyword, and possibly other data correlated to at least one network locator. The navigation service electronically stores in navigation service persistent memory a rule correlating the entity name, the keyword, and, if used, the other data, to the at least one network locator, such that when the navigation service receives, from a client computer communicatively coupled to the navigation service, command data that includes the entity name, the keyword, and possibly other data, the navigation service responds to the client computer with the at least one network locator.

Provisioning for smart navigation services

An apparatus and a non-transitory computer-readable medium may perform a method for providing brand-driven URL keyword navigation. The method may comprise: receiving a user selection of an accepted third party; transmitting third party selection information to the accepted third party, the third party selection information being based on the user selection; and receiving brand-driven keyword data from the accepted third party in response to the transmission of the third party selection information, the brand-driven keyword data mapping a keyword to a particular URL.

Registering, managing, and communicating with IOT devices using domain name system processes

Methods and systems for generating and resolving multi-mode barcodes include a device scanning and translating graphical data representing a barcode pattern into barcode information. The device detects distinct data items in the barcode information that each specifies an action to be taken by the device, and then transmits a request for a preference order to a remote server. Next, the device receives the preference order indicating a ranking of the distinct data items and determines, based on the ranking, an order in which actions specified by the data items are to be taken by the device. The device identifies a data item that the device is capable of taking the action specified by the data item and has a higher ranking in the preference order than the actions specified by all other data items that the device is capable of taking, and performs the action specified by the data item.

Multi-mode barcode resolution system

An apparatus and a non-transitory computer-readable medium may perform a method for providing content provider-specified URL keyword navigation. The method may comprise: receiving a first HTTP response from a first web server, wherein the first HTTP response includes a client-executable program; executing the client-executable program, wherein executing the client-executable program comprises: identifying a keyword included in a first URL; transmitting at least a portion of the first URL and the keyword to a second server for resolution; and receiving a second URL corresponding to a resolution of the keyword from the second server; sending a second HTTP request to a third web server for a second resource defined by the second URL; and receiving a second HTTP response from the third web server, wherein the second HTTP response includes the third resource.

A method for providing Internet domain name suggestions includes parsing a web page; obtaining at least one keyword from the parsing, generating a first query from the at least one keyword; and determining, based at least on the first query, if at least one name suggestion is available. The method also includes, if at least one name suggestion is available, generating at least one domain name suggestion based at least on the first query and displaying the at least one domain name suggestion.

Dynamic client side name suggestion service

Methods and systems for generating and resolving multi-mode barcodes comprise: inputting graphical data representing a barcode pattern into memory; translating the graphical data into barcode information according to a standard for translating a particular type of barcode pattern into barcode information; detecting the presence of multiple, distinct data items of different types in the barcode information, wherein each data item specifies an action to be taken by the scanning device; identifying a data item in the barcode information for which the scanning device is capable of taking the action specified by the data item; and performing the action specified by the data item.
