Abstract

Methods, products, apparatuses, and systems may manage a threat condition. A plurality of triggers may be identified over a period of time. Each of the triggers may be associated with a threat risk value. An accumulation value may be determined based on an aggregation of each threat risk value over the period of time. A set of progressive threshold values associated with a set of progressive threat conditions may be defined. A threat condition from the set of threat conditions may be established for the device based on the accumulation value. The threat condition may be managed, for example by defining an operational mode for the device, in response to the threat condition.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method comprising:
identifying a plurality of triggers over a period of time including a suspicion trigger to indicate suspicious activity for a device and a calming trigger to indicate calming activity for the device, wherein the suspicion trigger and the calming trigger are generated absent a security request and a security prompt, and wherein each of the triggers are associated with a threat risk value;
determining an accumulation value based on an aggregation…
