  • Patent number: 10667101
    Abstract: A contextual deep linking server receives a request associated with a valid contextual deep link from a client device, the contextual deep link associated with link data indicating a particular configuration of an application. The server also receives, after determining that the client device has stored a previously generated fingerprint, stored contextual information for the client device identified by a locally stored fingerprint that matches the previously generated fingerprint. The server then generates, after determining that the client device does not have the previously generated fingerprint, a unique fingerprint of the client device based on a plurality of characteristics of the client device and determining contextual information of the request based on a characteristic of the client device. The server also transmits a response to the client device that is selected based on the contextual information of the client device such that the response is operable on the client device.

  • Patent number: 10182324
    Abstract: A client device transmits to a server a request associated with a contextual deep link, the contextual deep link associated with link data indicating a configuration of an application. The client device receives a response according to the contextual information of the client device. The client device initiates the application and transmits a request by the application for link data. The application on the client device generates a unique fingerprint of the client device based on a plurality of characteristics of the client device and transmits the unique fingerprint to the server. The client device receives the link data associated with the contextual deep link and configures the application according to the configuration indicated in the link data.
