## Abstract

A user apparatus for accessing an electronic resource via a distributed computer network. The user apparatus comprises a user interface for receiving a user input, a computer processor configured to execute computer instructions; and an application program comprising computer instructions executable by the computer processor. The application program causes the user apparatus to 1) detect in a received user input a hash key character “#”, a potential keyword, and a potential domain name; 2) generate a keyword identifier having the form ‘keyword#domain_name.TLD’, wherein the ‘keyword’ field represents the potential keyword, the ‘domain_name’ field represents the potential domain_name, the ‘TLD’ field represents a Top Level Domain; and the “#” field is the hash key character used as a separator between the ‘keyword’ field and the ‘domain_name’ field; 3) establish a communication link to a proprietary keyword management server associated with the application program; and 4) transmit the keyword identifier to the proprietary keyword management server, wherein the proprietary keyword management server is configured to access a database storing a plurality of proprietary keyword records and to use the keyword identifier to access a proprietary keyword record that matches the ‘domain_name.TLD’ part of the keyword identifier; 5) receive the proprietary keyword record from the proprietary keyword management server; and 6) in response to receipt of the proprietary keyword record, launch a process associated with the received proprietary keyword record.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A user apparatus for accessing an electronic resource via a distributed computer network, the user apparatus comprising:
a user interface for receiving a user input;
a computer processor configured to execute computer instructions; and
an application program comprising computer instructions executable by the computer processor, wherein the application program causes the user apparatus to:
detect in a received user input a hash key character “#”, a potential keyword, and a potential domain name;
generate a keyword identifier having the form ‘keyword#domain_name.TLD’, wherein the ‘keyword’ field represents the potential keyword, the ‘domain_name’ field represents the potential domain name, the ‘TLD’ field represents a Top Level Domain; and the “#” field is the hash key character used as a separator between the ‘keyword’ field and the ‘domain_name’ field;
establish a communication link to a proprietary keyword management server associated with the application program;
transmit the keyword identifier to the proprietary keyword management server, wherein the proprietary keyword management server is configured to access a database storing a plurality of proprietary keyword records and to use the keyword identifier to access a proprietary keyword record that matches the ‘domain_name.TLD’ part of the keyword identifier;
receive the proprietary keyword record from the proprietary keyword management server; and
in response to receipt of the proprietary keyword record, launch a process associated with the received proprietary keyword record.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The user apparatus of claim 1, wherein the process launched in response to receipt of the proprietary keyword record comprises a phone call.
