Abstract

An accessible URI may be generated in response to determining that an existing valid URI is inaccessible. When a valid URI is determined to be not accessible, then a valid URI may be generated to access content by extracting keywords from the non-query component URI (e.g., directory, domain, port, or fragment, etc.) of the inaccessible URI and using such keywords as a search request or as the query portion of the generated accessible URI.

Claims (15)

1. A method for generating newly created information comprising:

a user intentionally submitting a request to locate a file that does not exist on a server, said request including a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) having at least one of a scheme, one or more domains, port, path, one or more directory names, and one or more file names;

receiving, at said server, said request to locate said file from said server;

determining that said file can not be located on said server;

extracting at least one keyword from said at least one of a scheme, one or more domains, port, path, one or more directory names, and one or more tile names;

generating and performing a search request having said at least one keyword to at least one Internet search engine provider to obtain at least one web page including said at least one keyword; and,

dynamically generating and providing said newly created information to said user wherein said newly created information includes results of said search request from said Internet search engine provider.

2. The method, as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said URI can be represented as “scheme://SLD.TLD/FLD/index.htm” whereby SLD.TLD is a domain name, FLD is a first level directory path, and index.htm is a default file.

3. The method, as set forth in claim 2 , further including creating said FLD and said default file when it is determined that said file can not be located on said server.

4. The method, as set forth in claim 3 , wherein said default file is capable of dynamically providing said newly created information to said user.

5. The method, as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said URI can be represented as “scheme://3LD.SLD.TLD/index.htm” whereby SLD.TLD is a domain name, 3LD is a subdomain of said domain name, and index.htm is a default file.

6. The method, as set forth in claim 5 , further including creating said 3LD and said default file when it is determined that said file can not be located on said server.

7. The method, as set forth in claim 6 , wherein said default file is capable of dynamically generating said newly created information to said user.

8. The method, as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said search request includes boolean logic translated from said path of said URI.

9. The method, as set forth in claim 1 , further including providing at least one advertisement corresponding to said at least one keyword before dynamically generating said newly created information to said user.
