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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. 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.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating the identifier using an algorithm based on the time-sensitive pseudo random number sequence, wherein the identifier comprises a member of a group of identifiers.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the client software module further searches for the identifier based on the time-sensitive pseudo random number sequence.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the internet-accessible computer readable document comprises a webpage, and the internet address comprises an encrypted internet address comprising a URL encrypted and encoded into a formatted text on the webpage that is indexed by search engines as normal text and not as encrypted data.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating the identifier using an algorithm based on the time-sensitive pseudo random number sequence, wherein the identifier comprises a member of a group of identifiers.

6. 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.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising deploying the client software module into a target computational environment.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising searching for the embedded identifier based on the time-sensitive pseudo random number sequence, wherein the identifier comprises a member of a group of identifiers.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the internet-accessible computer readable document comprises a webpage, and the embedded internet address comprises an encrypted internet address comprising a URL encrypted and encoded into a formatted text on the webpage that is indexed by search engines as normal text and not as encrypted data.

10. 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.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising generating the identifier using an algorithm based on the time-sensitive pseudo random number sequence, wherein the identifier comprises a member of a group of identifiers.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising searching for the identifier based on the time-sensitive pseudo random number sequence, wherein the identifier comprises a member of a group of identifiers.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the internet-accessible computer readable document comprises a webpage, and the internet address comprises an encrypted internet address comprising a URL encrypted and encoded into a formatted text on the webpage that is indexed by search engines as normal text and not as encrypted data.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising generating the identifier using an algorithm further based on a time sequence, wherein the identifier comprises a member of a group of identifiers.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising searching for the identifier further based on a time sequence, wherein the identifier comprises a member of a group of identifiers.

16. 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 ba
