ESTABLISHING AND USING A TRUST LEVEL IN MOBILE PHONES

摘要

Automatically establishing and/or modifying a trust relationship between devices, including mobile devices, in communication, and customizing a user interface workflow based on the trust relationship. Trust relationships are based on numerous proximity-related factors including automatically gathered proximity data, length of time in proximity, and signals detected from a target communication device as well as other nearby communication devices.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving a historical locational data set including information about device location for a first communication device and a second communication device; applying a first set of machine logic based rules to the historical locational data set to determine a trust level for communications, between the first communication device and the second communication device, based, at least in part, upon relative distance over time between the first communication device and the second communication device; applying a weighting factor to the trust level wherein the weighting factor is inversely proportional to the number of communication devices in close proximity to the first communication device and the second communication device; sharing, between the first communication device and the second communication device, respective trust level information with respect to a third communication device not known to the first communication device; and improving a trust level between the first communication device, and the third communication device, based, at least in part, upon trust level information with respect to the first communication device and the second communication device.
