Method and apparatus for monitoring network activity
First Claim
1. An activity notification system (ANS), comprising:
- a controller that manages operations of a communications interface to communicate with network elements in a communication system, wherein the controller is programmed to;
monitor network activities associated with a plurality communication devices of an end user;
generate from the monitored activities an end user profile that predicts a behavior of the end user; and
transmit a notice when a change in the monitored activities differs from a behavior predicted by the end user profile.

Abstract
A method (200) and apparatus (102, 108) are disclosed for monitoring network activity. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an activity notification system (ANS) (102) having a controller (104) that manages operations of a communications interface (110) for communicating with network elements (101) in a communication system. The controller can be programmed to monitor (202) network activities associated with a plurality of communication devices of an end user, generate (204) from the monitored activities an end user profile that predicts a behavior of the end user, and transmit (212, 222) a notice when a change in the monitored activities differs from a behavior predicted by the end user profile. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
