Abstract

When a portable electronic device receives an access request for an application, the device detects one or more available communication networks. Based on the detected network or networks, the device determines a current location. The device then accesses a usage data store to determine whether the access request and the current location correspond to a familiar usage pattern. If the access request and the current location do not correspond to a familiar usage pattern, the device presents a security prompt and denies the access request until a verified response to the security prompt is received.

Description

[0001] Related applications and priority : This patent document claims the priority of U.S. Patent Application No. 13 / 444,115 filed on April 11, 2012, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0002] Portable electronic devices, such as smart phones, personal digital assistants, laptop computers, tablet computing devices, media players, etc., often utilize security settings that enable the device to be locked until the user authenticates to the device. [0003] Sometimes, electronic devices may be lost or stolen. If the owner of the device does not enable the security settings of the device, or if the security settings are compromised, the owner runs the risk of disclosing his or her data to others. If the person stealing the device steals the device’s security settings and uses it to make phone calls or conduct financial transactions, the owner may also be charged for usage. [0004] This document describes the methods used ...
