Parametric user profiling

摘要

An apparatus for behaviour monitoring on mobile computing devices and a method of operating such devices for adaptively profiling users and for optimising user profile storage requirements. The method comprising monitoring a behaviour of the user by interpreting one or more interactions between the device and the user and storing information relating to the behaviour of the user in at least a partially parameterised form. The method further comprising determining whether the user is exhibiting any changes in behaviour as a function of a variation in one or more parameters within the stored information.
