1. A mobile device operable to communicate with at least one of a wired network and wireless network, the mobile device comprising:
- a processor;
at least one transceiver coupled to the processor;
at least one sensor coupled to the processor; and
memory coupled to the processor, the memory including instructions that upon execution cause the processor to;
execute an operational procedure analysis of resource consumption of at least one application on the mobile device that accesses peripheral subsystems of the mobile device; and
log the resource consumption.

7. A method comprising:
-
monitoring resource consumption of an application running on a plurality of devices connected to a central database; collecting information about the resource consumption of the application running on each of the plurality of devices over a period of time to build a historic behavior profile for the application; comparing, for any one device of the plurality of devices, the application'"'"'s resource consumption to the historical behavior profile; and determining if the application, running on the one device of the plurality of devices, is behaving consistently with the application'"'"'s historic profile. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
