Abstract
Methods and systems are described for determining a network identifier of a node providing a type of service for a geospatial region. In one aspect, input indicating a query region and a type of service is received. A query message is generated, including information identifying the type of service and the region, and sent for delivery to a network directory service representing a domain having a domain region at least partially including the query region. A response message from the network directory service is received including a network identifier of a node, in the domain, providing the identified type of service.
Claims38
A method for determining a network identifier of a node providing a type of service for a geospatial region, the method comprising:
- receiving input indicating a geospatial query region and a type of service;
- generating a query message including information identifying the type of service and the query region;
- sending the query message for delivery to a network directory service representing a domain having a domain region at least partially including the query region;
- and
- receiving a response message including a network identifier of a node, in the domain, providing the identified type of service,
- wherein at least one of the preceding actions is performed on at least one electronic hardware component.
A method for identifying a node providing a type of service for a geospatial region, the method comprising:
- receiving by a network directory service a query message including information identifying a type of service and a geospatial query region;
- determining whether the network directory service represents a domain having a domain region at least partially including the query region;
- responsive to determining that the network directory service represents the domain, determining a network identifier of a node, in the domain, providing the identified type of service;
- generating a response message including the network identifier;
- and
- sending the response message in response to the query message,
- wherein at least one of the preceding actions is performed on at least one electronic hardware component.
A system for determining a network identifier of a node providing a type of service for a geospatial region, the system comprising:
- means for receiving input indicating a query region and a type of service
- means for generating a query message including information identifying the type of service and the query region;
- means for sending the query message for delivery to a network directory service representing a domain having a domain region at least partially including the query region;
- and
- means for receiving from the network directory service a response message including a network identifier of a node in the domain providing the identified type of service,
- wherein at least one of the means includes at least one hardware component.
A system for determining a network identifier of a node providing a type of service for a geospatial region, the system comprising system components including:
- a resolver interface component configured to receive input indicating a query region and a type of service;
- a service resolver component configured to generate a query message including information identifying the type of service and the query region;
- and
- a network directory client component configured to send the query message for delivery to a network directory service representing a domain having a geospatial domain region at least partially including the query region,
- the network directory client component configured to receive a response message including a network identifier of a node, in the domain, providing the identified type of service,
- wherein at least one of the system components includes at least one hardware component.
A system for identifying a node providing a type of service for a geospatial region, the system comprising:
- means for receiving by a network directory service a query message including information identifying a type of service and a geospatial query region;
- means for determining whether the network directory service represents a domain having a geospatial domain region at least partially including the query region;
- means for responsive to determining that the network directory service represents the domain, determining a network identifier of a node, in the domain providing the identified type of service;
- means for generating a response message including the network identifier;
- and
- means for sending the response message in response to the query message,
- wherein at least one of the means includes at least one hardware component.
A system for identifying a node providing a type of service for a geospatial region, the system comprising system components including:
- a message-in router component configured to receive by a network directory service a query message including information identifying a type of service and a geospatial query region;
- a domain manager component configured to determine whether the network directory service represents a domain having a domain region at least partially including the query region;
- a database manager component configured to, responsive to determining that the network directory service represents the domain, determine a network identifier of a node, in the domain, providing the identified type of service,
- the domain manager component further configured to generate a response message including the network identifier;
- and
- a message-out router component configured to send the response message in response to the query message,
- wherein at least one of the system components includes at least one hardware component.
A computer readable medium embodying a computer program, executable by a machine, for determining a network identifier of a node providing a type of service for a geospatial region, the computer program comprising executable instructions for:
- receiving input indicating a query region and a type of service;
- generating a query message including information identifying the type of service and the query region;
- sending the query message for receipt by a network directory service that represents a domain having a geospatial domain region at least partially including the query region;
- and
- receiving from the network directory service a response message including a network identifier of a node, in the domain, providing the identified type of service.
