Communication pattern recognition
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
a network interface whereby the one or more processors communicate with a network; and
a memory storing code that is executable by the one or more processors to;
generate a baseline network communications fingerprint for a first user, based on network communication pattern data for communications between the user one or more second users and sampled at a first point in time from one or more databases that archive network communication pattern data from a set of predefined sources;
generate an active network communications fingerprint for the first user based on a re-sampling of the predefined sources after a predefined time interval; and
perform a predefined action to update a network permission in response to differences detected between the baseline network communication fingerprint and the active network communication fingerprint for the first user, wherein the predefined action includes communicating a message to a network administrator to apply network permissions to the first user based on similarity between the first user'"'"'s baseline network communication fingerprint and the baseline network communication fingerprint of the one or more second users.

Abstract
For communication pattern recognition, an apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a baseline analysis module that samples predefined sources associated with a user and generates a baseline fingerprint for the user. The apparatus includes an active analysis module that re-samples the predefined sources associated with the user after a predefined time interval and generates an active fingerprint for the user. The apparatus includes a verification module that compares the active fingerprint to the baseline fingerprint and determines whether the active fingerprint closely matches the baseline fingerprint. If the active fingerprint closely matches the baseline fingerprint, then the verification module replaces the baseline fingerprint with the active fingerprint. If the active fingerprint does not match the baseline fingerprint, then the verification module performs a predefined action to rectify differences between the baseline fingerprint and the active fingerprint.

12. A method, comprising:
-
generating a baseline network communications fingerprint for a first user based on network communication pattern data for communications between the user one or more second users and sampled at a first point in time from one or more databases that archive network communications pattern data from a set of predefined communication sources; generating an active network communications fingerprint for the first user based on a re-sampling of the predefined communication sources after a predetermined time interval; and performing a predefined action to update a network permission in response to differences detected between the baseline network communications fingerprint and the active network communication fingerprint for the first user, wherein the predefined action includes communicating to at least one of a network administrator and the first user, one or more network permissions for the one or more second users who have a similar baseline fingerprint to the baseline fingerprint for the first user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer program product for performing a network permission action, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to:
-
generate, by processor, a baseline fingerprint for the first user based on network communication pattern data for communications between the first user and one or more second users and sampled at a first point in time from one or more databases that archive network communication pattern data from a set of predefined communication sources; generate, by processor, an active fingerprint for the first user based on re-sampling the predefined communication sources; perform, by processor, a predefined action related to a network permission in response to differences detected between the baseline network communications fingerprint and the active network communications fingerprint for the first user, wherein the predefined action includes communicating to at least one of a network administrator and the first user, one or more network permissions for the one or more second users who have a similar baseline fingerprint to the baseline fingerprint for the first user.
