Abstract

Claims (69)

1. A method, implemented at least in part by one or more computing devices associated with a service provider, the method comprising:

causing a first user interface associated with an instant application associated with a particular, discrete functionality of an application to be presented via a first user computing device of a user;

receiving data via an interaction with the first user interface associated with the instant application;

receiving a request to download the application from a second user computing device of the user;

causing the application to be downloaded on the second user computing device of the user; and

causing the data received via the interaction with the first user interface associated with the instant application to be presented via a second user interface associated with the application on the second user computing device, wherein the data is presented via the second user interface based at least in part on device characteristics of the second user computing device.

2. The method as claim 1 recites, wherein the application is associated with a set of functionalities that is larger than the particular, discrete functionality of the instant application.

3. The method as claim 1 recites, further comprising:

generating an interactable element associated with the instant application; and

causing the first user interface to be presented based at least in part on receiving, from the first user computing device, an indication of an interaction with the interactable element.

4. The method as claim 3 recites, wherein the interactable element is associated with at least one of a physical mailer, a push notification, an email, or a text message.

5. The method as claim 1 recites, further comprising:

determining context data associated with the first user computing device of the user; and

causing the first user interface associated with the instant application to be presented via the first user computing device of the user based at least in part on the context data.

6. The method as claim 1 recites, further comprising:

based at least in part on receiving the request to download the application from the second user computing device of the user, storing session data received via a session associated with the instant application, wherein the session data includes the data received via the interaction with the first user interface;

sending the session data to the second user computing device of the user; and

customizing the second user interface based at least in part on the session data.

7. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more computer-readable media that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

causing a first user interface associated with an instant application associated with a particular, discrete functionality of an application to be presented via a first user computing device of a user;

receiving data via an interaction with the first user interface associated with the instant application;

receiving a request to download the application from a second user computing device of the user;

causing the application to be downloaded on the second user computing device of the user; and

causing the data received via the interaction with the first user interface associated with the instant application to be associated with the application on the second user computing device.

8. The system as claim 7 recites, wherein the data is associated with session data of a session of the instant application.

9. The system as claim 7 recites, the operations further comprising:

generating an interactable element associated with the instant application, wherein the interactable element is associated with a first identifier of the user; and

causing the first user interface to be presented based at least in part on receiving, from the first user computing device, an indication of an interaction with the interactable element, wherein the data is associated with the first identifier.

10. The system as claim 9 recites, wherein the request is associated with a second identifier, the operations further comprising:

determining that the first identifier and the second identifier are associated with a same user;

determining a correspondence between the first user computing device and the second user computing device based at least in part on determining that the first identifier and the second identifier are associated with the same user;

based at least in part on determining the correspondence between the first user computing device and the second user computing device, storing session data received via a session associated with the instant application, wherein the session data includes the data received via the interaction with the first user interface;

sending the session data to the second user computing device of the user; and

customizing at least one of the application or data presented via a second user interface associated with the application based at least in part on the session data.

11. The system as claim 7 recites, the operations further comprising:

determining first location data associated with the first user computing device;

determining second location data associated with the second user computing device;

determining, based at least in part on the first location data and the second location data, that the first user computing device is within a threshold distance of the second user computing device;

determining a correspondence between the first user computing device and the second user computing device based at least in part on determining that the first user computing device is within a threshold distance of the second user computing device;

based at least in part on determining the correspondence between the first user computing device and the second user computing device, storing session data received via a session associated with the instant application, wherein the session data includes the data received via the interaction with the first user interface;

sending the session data to the second user computing device of the user; and

customizing at least one of the application or data presented via a second user interface associated with the application based at least in part on the session data.

12. The system as claim 7 recites, wherein the data is associated with first identification data associated with the user, and wherein the request is associated with second identification data, the operations further comprising:

determining that the first identification data corresponds with the second identification data;

determining a correspondence between the first user computing device and the second user computing device based at least in part on determining that the first identification data corresponds with the second identification data;

based at least in part on determining the correspondence between the first user computing device and the second user computing device, storing session data received via a session associated with the instant application, wherein the session data includes the data received via the interaction with the first user interface;

sending the session data to the second user computing device of the user; and

customizing at least one of the application or data presented via a second user interface associated with the application based at least in part on the session data.

13. The system as claim 12 recites, wherein the first identification data comprises at least one of an account number, a physical address, a telephone number, or an email address associated with the user and wherein the second identification data comprises at least one of the account number, the physical address, the telephone number, or the email address associated with the user.

14. The system as claim 7 recites, the operations further comprising:

determining context data associated with the first user computing device of the user; and

causing the first user interface associated with the instant application to be presented via the first user computing device of the user based at least in part on the context data.

15. One or more computer-readable media that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
