Deep Link Notifications for Faster Mobile App Action Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile applications become complex and difficult to navigate as users search through menus to find specific content, leading to decreased user satisfaction and engagement.
Innovation Solution
A computing system that identifies triggering events via a peer-to-peer digital network, transmits notifications with deep link URLs to user devices, and initiates the display of entity webpages with input fields to perform actions, enhancing navigation and engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If mobile applications provide more functionalities, then user capabilities are improved, but application complexity increases making navigation difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by proactively detecting triggering events (such as account creation, login, or specific user actions) and automatically sending notifications with deep links before users need to navigate through complex menus. This preliminary detection and notification mechanism eliminates the need for users to manually search through complex application structures, thereby maintaining high functionality while reducing perceived complexity.
2Ease of operation
If users manually search through menus to find specific content, then comprehensive navigation is possible, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically detecting when users need specific functionalities based on triggering events, and autonomously delivering targeted notifications with deep links. This eliminates the manual search process entirely, as the system serves users proactively based on their actions or status changes, thereby maintaining comprehensive navigation capability while reducing search time to near zero.
3Ease of operation
If deep link notifications are transmitted to user devices, then direct content access is improved, but network communication requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses notifications as an intermediary mechanism between the application server and user devices. Instead of requiring complex direct communication protocols, the notification system acts as a mediator that delivers deep links to users' devices through standard notification channels (push notifications, SMS, email). This intermediary approach simplifies the network communication architecture while enabling direct content access through the delivered deep links.

AI summary
Systems and methods identify, via a peer-to-peer digital network, occurrence of a triggering event, the triggering event initiating at least one notification transmission. Based on the identifying, the at least one notification is transmitted, via a telecommunications network, to user device(s), the notification including a deep link uniform resource locator (URL) of an entity webpage of an entity, the entity being different from the peer-to-peer digital network. It is determined that the deep link URL has been selected via a user device of the user device(s) and display, via a user interface of the user device, of the entity is initiated, where the entity webpage includes input field(s) to initiate action(s) via the peer-to-peer digital network.
