Methodology for detecting problematic connections with peripheral devices

摘要

Implementations of the present disclosure provide methods and systems for identifying peripheral devices with which problematic connections have been established. According to one embodiment, a method for detecting a model of peripheral device for which problematic connections with a computerized unit are common is disclosed. The method involves receiving values of each of one or more features of a particular connection between a computerized unit and a peripheral device, using the received values to determine a score for each of the features of the particular connection, calculating an overall connection score from the scores for each of the features, and generating a problematic peripheral device report including the model of the peripheral device if the overall connection score is indicative of a problematic connection.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
establishing a data connection between a computerized unit and a server device through a data network; receiving, by the server device from the computerized unit, values of each of one or more features of a particular connection between the computerized unit and a peripheral device; determining, by the server device and based on the values of each of the one or more features of the particular connection, a respective score for each of the one or more features of the particular connection; comparing, by the server device, the respective score for each of the one or more features to a probability density function for a corresponding feature from the one or more features; determining, by the server device and based at least in part on the comparison, whether the particular connection between the computerized unit and the peripheral device is problematic; responsive to determining that the particular connection is problematic, generating, by the server device, a problematic peripheral device report including a descriptor of the peripheral device; and sending, by the server, the problematic peripheral device report.
