This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958138 titled 'Application Discovery Method, Apparatus, and System, and Computer Storage Medium
Simplified Explanation
The patent application discloses an application discovery solution for a network. The method involves obtaining a domain name requested by a device, sending the domain name to another network element, and receiving information about the application platform or DNS server corresponding to the domain name. This information is used to obtain the target IP address for accessing the application.
- The method involves obtaining a domain name requested by a device.
- The domain name is sent to another network element.
- Information about the application platform or DNS server corresponding to the domain name is received.
- This information is used to obtain the target IP address for accessing the application.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in network systems to discover and access applications based on domain names.
- It can be applied in various industries where efficient application discovery is required, such as telecommunications, IT, and e-commerce.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of efficiently discovering and accessing applications based on domain names.
- It eliminates the need for manual configuration or searching for IP addresses associated with specific applications.
Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted
This application disclose an application discovery solutions. The application discovery method is applied to a first SMF network element, and includes: obtaining a first domain name requested by a terminal device; sending the first domain name to a second SMF network element; and receiving first information from the second SMF network element, where the first information includes information about a first application platform or an IP address of a DNS server corresponding to the first application platform, the first application platform is an application platform on which a first application corresponding to the first domain name is located, and the first information is for obtaining a target IP address corresponding to the first domain name. The terminal device may access, by using the target IP address, the first application corresponding to the first domain name.
