On-line behavioral analysis engine in mobile device with multiple analyzer model providers
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring mobile device behaviors in a mobile device based on models received from multiple model providers, comprising:
- receiving, via a mobile device processor of the mobile device, a first machine learning model from a first model provider, the received first machine learning model identifying factors and data points relevant to enabling the mobile device processor to determine whether a mobile device behavior is benign;
receiving in the mobile device a second machine learning model from a second model provider that is different than, and operates independent of, the first model provider, the received second machine learning model identifying different factors and data points relevant to enabling the mobile device processor to determine whether the mobile device behavior is benign;
installing either the first machine learning model or the second machine learning model in the mobile device in conjunction with an existing behavior analyzer engine installed in the mobile device;
selecting for monitoring one or more mobile device behaviors in the mobile device based on factors and data points identified by the installed machine learning model;
monitoring the selected mobile device behaviors to collect behavior information;
using the collected behavior information to perform spatial and/or temporal correlations;
generating a behavior vector based on a result of the spatial and/or temporal correlations;
comparing the generated behavior vector to the installed machine learning model to generate a comparison result; and
determining whether the mobile device behavior is benign based on the comparison result.

Abstract
Methods, systems and devices for generating data models in a client-cloud communication system may include applying machine learning techniques to generate a first family of classifier models that describe a cloud corpus of behavior vectors. Such vectors may be analyzed to identify factors in the first family of classifier models that have the highest probability of enabling a mobile device to better determine whether a mobile device behavior is malicious or benign. Based on this analysis, a second family of classifier models may be generated that identify significantly fewer factors and data points as being relevant for enabling the mobile device to better determine whether the mobile device behavior is malicious or benign based on the determined factors. A mobile device classifier module based on the second family of classifier models may be generated and made available for download by mobile devices, including devices contributing behavior vectors.
