Abstract

The SECURE DYNAMIC PAGE CONTENT AND LAYOUTS APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“DPCL”) transform dynamic layout template requests, device, user, and surroundings security profiles, and layout usage monitor packages using DPCL components into customized secure dynamic layouts. In some implementations, the disclosure provides a processor-implemented method of transforming the content of an electronically generated user facing page for displaying on a user display.

Claims

1. A processor-implemented method of dynamically customizing an application user interface layout to enhance security, comprising:

receiving a self actuated varying secure layout template request from a user mobile device, wherein the request includes at least one security assessment value;

retrieving a self actuated varying layout template from a layout template database;

determining, via a computer, at least one user interface display view within the self actuated varying layout template;

modifying the at least one user interface display view based on the received at least one security assessment value; and

providing a modified self actuated varying secure layout template.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein modifying the at least one user interface display view includes resizing the user interface display view.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein modifying the at least one user interface display view includes inserting a user specified security image into the user interface display view.

4. The method of claim 3, additionally comprising setting a user interface display view parameter to indicate that no further content or adjustments should be made to the user interface display view.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the received at least one security assessment value is not provided by the user mobile device.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the at least one security assessment value is retrieved from a local security database.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one security assessment value includes information about applications that are installed on the user mobile device.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the information about applications that are installed on the user mobile device additionally includes an indication of which applications are currently running on the user mobile device.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the indication of which applications are currently running on the user mobile device includes a user interface z-index configuration listing.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein modifying the at least one user interface display view includes shifting the position of the interface display view away from non-authorized interface view overlays.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the non-authorized interface view overlays are generated from an application running on the user device other than the active and user engaged application.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the non-authorized interface view overlays are generated using JavaScript from a web site in communication with the user device other than the active and user engaged web site in communication with the user device.

13. A processor-implemented system of dynamically customizing an application user interface layout to enhance security, comprising:

means to receive a self actuated varying secure layout template request from a user mobile device, wherein the request includes at least one security assessment value;

means to retrieve a self actuated varying layout template from a layout template database;

means to determine, via a computer, at least one user interface display view within the self actuated varying layout template;

means to modify the at least one user interface display view based on the received at least one security assessment value; and

means to provide a modified self actuated varying secure layout template.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein means to modify the at least one user interface display view includes means to resize the user interface display view.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein means to modify the at least one user interface display view includes means to insert a user specified security image into the user interface display view.

16. The system of claim 15, additionally comprising means to set a user interface display view parameter to indicate that no further content or adjustments should be made to the user interface display view.

17. The system of claim 13, wherein the received at least one security assessment value is not provided by the user mobile device.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the at least one security assessment value is retrieved from a local security database.

19. A dynamic customizing application user interface layout apparatus to enhance security, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor disposed in communication with said memory, and configured to issue a plurality of processing instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor issues instructions to;

receive a self actuated varying secure layout template request from a user mobile device, wherein the request includes at least one security assessment value;

retrieve a self actuated varying layout template from a layout template database;

determine, via a computer, at least one user interface display view within the self actuated varying layout template;

modify the at least one user interface display view based on the received at least one security assessment value; and

provide a modified self actuated varying secure layout template.

20. A non-transitory medium storing security enhancing dynamically customizing application user interface layout instructions to:

receive a self actuated varying secure layout template request from a user mobile device, wherein the request includes at least one security assessment value;

retrieve a self actuated varying layout template from a layout template database;

determine, via a computer, at least one user interface display view within the self actuated varying layout template;

modify the at least one user interface display view based on the received at least one security assessment value; and

provide a modified self actuated varying secure layout template.
