Abstract:
1. A method for automatically indexing alphanumeric identifiers with cloud computing, comprising: receiving a plurality of alphanumeric identifiers on a source cloud application on a source network device with one or more processors via a cloud communications network comprising: one or more public communication networks, one or more private networks, one or more community networks and one or more hybrid networks, wherein the plurality of received alphanumeric identifiers include connectable and disconnected alphanumeric identifiers and valid and invalid alphanumeric identifiers; categorizing on the source cloud application on source network device the plurality of alphanumeric identifiers into a plurality of different pre-determined advertising categories; storing from the source cloud application on the source network device the categorized plurality of alphanumeric identifiers in a cloud storage object, wherein the cloud storage object comprises a plurality of separate storage locations distributed across the cloud communications network but functions as a single storage object, and wherein a target cloud application on a target network device cannot determine which cloud source network devices on the one or more public, private, community or hybrid networks on the cloud communications network may have stored the cloud storage object or a portion thereof, thereby providing security and privacy for recording requests made by the target cloud application on the target network device; associating on the source cloud application on the source network device a plurality of pre-determined advertisements stored in the cloud storage object with the plurality of categorized alphanumeric identifiers stored in the cloud storage object; receiving a target alphanumeric identifier on the source cloud application on the source network device from a target cloud application on a target network device with one or more processors via the cloud communications network, wherein the target network device can contact the source network device from anywhere on the cloud computing network and wherein the target alphanumeric identifier is used to connect the target network device to a desired network device anywhere on the cloud communications network; retrieving on the source cloud application on the source network device a pre-determined advertisement from the plurality of categorized alphanumeric identifiers stored in the cloud storage object based on the received target alphanumeric identifier; and sending a secure message from the source cloud application on the source network device to the target network device via the cloud communications network, wherein the message includes electronic information that allows the target network device to make a selection input to connect to the desired network device or to receive and display the retrieved pre-determined advertisement and connect to another network device associated with the retrieved pre-determined advertisement instead.
