Abstract

Disclosed herein are example embodiments for behavioral fingerprinting with adaptive development. For certain example embodiments, one or more devices may: (i) determine at least one indication of utilization for at least one authorized user via at least one user-device interaction; and (ii) incorporate at least one indication of utilization into at least one behavioral fingerprint that is associated with at least one authorized user, with the at least one behavioral fingerprint including one or more indicators of utilization of one or more user devices by the at least one authorized user. However, claimed subject matter is not limited to any particular described embodiments, implementations, examples, or so forth.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
circuitry configured for determining at least one indication of utilization for at least one authorized user via at least one user-device interaction;
circuitry configured for incorporating the at least one indication of utilization into at least one behavioral fingerprint associated with the at least one authorized user, the at least one behavioral fingerprint including at least one or more indicators of utilization of one or more user devices by the at least one authorized user;
circuitry configured for determining via at least one user device that at least one user has made a request for performance of at least one task;
circuitry configured for determining at least one degree of authentication associated with identity of the at least one user via the at least one user device at least partially based on the at least one behavioral fingerprint;
circuitry configured for determining at least one level of authorization corresponding to the determined at least one degree of authentication associated with identity of the at least one user; and
circuitry configured for performing the at least one task as a function of the determined at least one level of authorization corresponding to the determined at least one degree of authentication associated with identity of the at least one user.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for determining at least one indication of utilization for at least one authorized user via at least one user-device interaction comprises:
circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more user interface actions by the at least one authorized user with at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more user interface actions by the at least one authorized user with at least one user device of the one or more user devices comprises:
circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on at least one characteristic of one or more user interface swiping actions by the at least one authorized user with the at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for determining at least one indication of utilization for at least one authorized user via at least one user-device interaction comprises:
circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more locations visited by the at least one authorized user with at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more locations visited by the at least one authorized user with at least one user device of the one or more user devices comprises:
circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more physical locations visited by the at least one authorized user with the at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for determining at least one indication of utilization for at least one authorized user via at least one user-device interaction comprises:
circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more social network interactions by the at least one authorized user via at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more social network interactions by the at least one authorized user via at least one user device of the one or more user devices comprises:
circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more social network communications received or sent by the at least one authorized user via the at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for the determining at least one indication of utilization for at least one authorized user via at least one user-device interaction comprises:
circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more applications employed by the at least one authorized user via at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein circuitry configured for the determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more applications employed by the at least one authorized user via at least one user device of the one or more user devices comprises:
circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on an order of usage for the one or more applications employed by the at least one authorized user via the at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for determining at least one indication of utilization for at least one authorized user via at least one user-device interaction comprises:
circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more transactions conducted by the at least one authorized user via at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on one or more transactions conducted by the at least one authorized user via at least one user device of the one or more user devices comprises:
circuitry configured for determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on a density of the one or more transactions conducted by the at least one authorized user via the at least one user device of the one or more user devices, including at least determining the at least one indication of utilization based at least partly on determining an indication of geographic proximity of the one or more transactions conducted in a particular period of time by the at least one authorized user via the at least one user device of the one or more user devices.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for incorporating the at least one indication of utilization into at least one behavioral fingerprint associated with the at least one authorized user, the at least one behavioral fingerprint including at least one or more indicators of utilization of one or more user devices by the at least one authorized user, comprises:
circuitry configured for adding the at least one indication of utilization to the at least one behavioral fingerprint associated with the at least one authorized user, including at least adding at least one identification of one or more songs played via the one or more user devices to the at least one behavioral fingerprint associated with the at least one authorized user.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for incorporating the at least one indication of utilization into at least one behavioral fingerprint associated with the at least one authorized user, the at least one behavioral fingerprint including at least one or more indicators of utilization of one or more user devices by t
