METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING BEHAVIOR PROFILES FOR DEVICE MEMBERS OF A NETWORK

摘要

A method and system for generating a digital profile defined by digital behavior expressed by a device includes receiving digital behavior data and identifying information defined by a device in communication with a content server, generating a device profile for the device, associating the device with at least one device population, and generating a population profile defined by the device population. The device profiles and population profiles may be made accessible to users of a social network. Related contents, including identifying information, device behavior analysis, comparative ratings, service and diagnostic information, messages and alerts may be associated with a device profile or population profile and published to the social network. A population profile may define normal digital behavior of the population, such that the population profile may be compared with the device profile of a device, to determine whether the device operation is abnormal with respect to the population profile.

1. A system comprising:
a content server; a plurality of devices in communication with the content server via a network; wherein each respective device of the plurality of devices outputs digital behavior data during each respective operation cycle of a plurality of operation cycles performed by the respective device; wherein the content server:
receives the digital behavior data outputted by the respective device during each respective operation cycle of the plurality of operation cycles performed by the respective device;associates the digital behavior data with the respective device and the respective operation cycle;generates a respective device behavior profile for the respective device using the digital behavior data outputted by the respective device during the plurality of operation cycles; andstores the respective device behavior profile; wherein the respective device behavior profile for the respective device is predictive of the normal operation behavior profile of the respective device.
