Abstract
A method for internet communication is presented. An identifier is embedded in an internet-accessible computer readable medium, and an internet address is embedded in the internet-accessible computer readable medium in a relation to the identifier. The identifier is located to provide an identifier location, and the internet address is located based on the identifier location.
Claims19
A method for communication with a client software module, the method comprising:
- embedding, by action of a computer processor of a partner module, an identifier in an internet-accessible computer readable document;
- embedding, by action of the computer processor, an internet address comprising text in the internet-accessible computer readable document in relation to the identifier at a separate location from the identifier;
- communicating, by action of the computer processor, with the client software module that:
- generates a duplicate of the identifier utilizing a time-sensitive pseudo-random number sequence known in common by the client software module and the partner module;
- performs an internet search query for the identifier using an internet search engine utilizing the duplicate of the identifier as a search term;
- locates the identifier to obtain the internet-accessible computer readable document embedding the identifier;
- and
- locates the internet address from the obtained internet-accessible computer readable document;
- and
- configuring, in response to a request from the client software module, internet communication between the client software module and the partner module based on the internet address utilized in the request.
A method for a client software module to communicate with a partner software module, the method comprising:
- generating, by action of a computer processor, a duplicate of an identifier utilizing a time-sensitive pseudo-random number sequence known in common by the client software module and the partner software module;
- performing, by action of the computer processor, an internet search query for an embedded identifier using an internet search engine utilizing the duplicate of the identifier as a search term;
- locating, by action of the computer processor, the embedded identifier in an internet-accessible computer readable document to obtain an embedded internet address;
- locating, by action of the computer processor, the embedded internet address in the internet-accessible computer readable document in relation to the embedded identifier based on location of the identifier, the embedded internet address comprising text at a separate location from the identifier;
- and
- communicating, by action of the computer processor, with the partner software module utilizing the embedded internet address.
A method for internet communication, the method comprising:
- embedding, by action of a first computer processor of a partner module, an identifier at a location in an internet-accessible computer readable document;
- embedding, by action of the first computer processor, an internet address comprising text in the internet-accessible computer readable document in relation to the identifier at a separate location from the identifier;
- generating, by action of a second computer processor of a client module, a duplicate of the identifier utilizing a time-sensitive pseudo-random number sequence known in common by the client module and the partner module;
- performing, by action of the second computer processor, an internet search query for the identifier using an internet search engine utilizing the duplicate of the identifier as a search term;
- locating, by action of the second computer processor, the identifier to obtain the internet-accessible computer readable document embedding the identifier;
- locating, by action of the second computer processor, the internet address from the obtained internet-accessible computer readable document;
- and
- configuring internet communication between the client module and the partner module utilizing the internet address.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied therein, wherein when executed by at least one processor of a partner module, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:
- embed an identifier at a location in an internet-accessible computer readable document;
- embed an internet address comprising text in the internet-accessible computer readable document in relation to the identifier at a separate location from the identifier;
- communicate with a client software module that:
- generates a duplicate of the identifier utilizing a time-sensitive pseudo-random number sequence known in common by the client software module and the partner module;
- performs an internet search query for the identifier using an internet search engine utilizing the duplicate of the identifier as a search term;
- locates the identifier to obtain the internet-accessible computer readable document embedding the identifier;
- and
- locates the internet address from the obtained internet-accessible computer readable document;
- and
- configure, in response to a request from the client software module, internet communication between the client software module and the partner module based on the internet address utilized in the request.
