Website Navigation Schema for Multi-Identifier Page Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Navigating complex websites with multiple user IDs and intended web pages for different user types poses a challenge, as existing systems struggle to automatically determine the appropriate web page to present to a user device.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a master schema data structure to identify the highest priority user identifier and access pathway, comparing this information to select the appropriate web page from multiple versions based on user type, and transmit executable code for rendering the selected page on the user device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the system presents different web pages to different user types, then the relevance of content to users is improved, but the complexity of determining which page to present increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by determining the user's identifier and access pathway before selecting the web page. The server controller extracts the user identifier from the request, determines the network access pathway, and uses these pre-determined values to select the appropriate web page version, thereby simplifying the overall decision-making process
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the web pages into different versions (first web page for first user type, second web page for second user type) and segments the identification process into distinct steps (determining user identifier, determining access pathway, selecting page based on both segments). This segmentation makes the complex problem of user-specific page delivery manageable through systematic breakdown
2Ease of operation
If the system automatically determines the appropriate web page for users with multiple IDs, then the ease of operation is improved, but the measurement precision of user identification deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the network access pathway as an intermediary element to resolve ambiguity in user identification. When a user has multiple identifiers, the access pathway (how the user reached the website) serves as an additional mediating factor that, combined with the user identifier, enables precise determination of the appropriate web page version
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback by using both the user identifier and the network access pathway to determine the correct web page. This multi-factor feedback mechanism ensures that even when user identification alone is ambiguous, the combination of identifier and access path provides sufficient information for accurate page selection
Data Source
AI summary
A method including receiving, via a network interface, a request from a user device of a user to access a complex website including first and second web pages for viewing by first and second user types, respectively. The user is associated with multiple identifiers of the online service. A known identifier for the user is determined from the request and the identifiers. A network access pathway is determined. A highest priority identifier is identified from among the identifiers by comparing the known identifier to a master schema data structure to select the highest priority identifier. A selected web page is selected from among the first web page and the second web page using the master schema data structure. The method also includes transmitting, via the network interface, Computer executable code is transmitted via the network interface to the user device to render the selected web page.
