Adaptive Observation of Behavioral Features on a Mobile Device
First Claim
1. A method for observing mobile device behaviors over a period of time to recognize mobile device behaviors inconsistent with normal operation patterns, the method comprising:
- determining in a processor of a mobile device a feature that is to be observed in the mobile device in order to identify a suspicious behavior of the mobile device; and
adaptively observing the determined feature by collecting behavior information from an instrumented component associated with the determined feature.

Abstract
Methods, devices and systems for detecting suspicious or performance-degrading mobile device behaviors intelligently, dynamically, and/or adaptively determine computing device behaviors that are to be observed, the number of behaviors that are to be observed, and the level of detail or granularity at which the mobile device behaviors are to be observed. The various aspects efficiently identify suspicious or performance-degrading mobile device behaviors without requiring an excessive amount of processing, memory, or energy resources.
