NUM Protocol: Innovative use of DNS

域名系统(DNS)主要用于将人类友好的域名(如tesco.com)转换为IP地址(如156.154.166.223)，以便将用户连接到网站。我们的协议：命名空间统一媒体(NUM)扩展了这一功能，使域名能够转换为电话号码、GPS商店位置、社交媒体识别符等。该协议为一种新型搜索打开了广阔的可能性，这种搜索使用一个有效的过程返回联系信息，而不是通过令人沮丧的、数据匮乏的搜索。用户可以有效地拨打域名而不是电话号码，或者在卫星导航中输入域名以获得准确的GPS位置，而不是使用经常不准确的邮政编码。对于尚未采用该协议的域名，NUM服务器服务将通过返回从公司网站收集的公共联系信息来回答查询。该项目将进行具有挑战性的神经网络研究，以收集和标记联系人数据，并推动DNS技术的边界来构建和服务于用户。任何连接到互联网的设备都可以使用NUM，不需要新的硬件或改变DNS基础设施。谷歌、必应等搜索引擎可以使用NUM来增强他们的搜索结果。目前，查找联系信息是无组织的、不一致的和低效的。我们的愿景是组织世界各地的联系信息。

"The Domain Name System (DNS) is primarily used to convert human friendly domain names (e.g. tesco.com) into IP addresses (e.g. 156.154.166.223) to connect users to websites.Our protocol: Namespace Uniform Media (NUM) extends this functionality, to enable the conversion of domain names into telephone numbers, GPS store locations, social media identifiers and more. The protocol opens up vast possibilities for a new type of search, which returns contact information using one efficient process rather than through a frustrating, data-hungry search. Users could effectively dial a domain rather than a telephone number or enter a domain into a satnav for an exact GPS location, instead of using an oft-inaccurate postcode. For domains that have not adopted the protocol, a NUM Server service will answer the query by returning public contact information collected from the company website.The project will conduct challenging neural network research to collect and label contact data and push the boundaries of DNS technology to structure and serve it to users.Any internet connected device could use NUM, there is no requirement for new hardware or changes to DNS infrastructure. Search engines like Google, Bing and others could augment their results with NUM. Finding contact information is currently unstructured, inconsistent and inefficient. Our vision is to organise the world's contact information."
