Abstract
Systems, device and techniques are disclosed for implementing a security configuration change based on one or more base events and a current security configuration. An inference module may identify a security configuration change based on receiving base events from a state storage/event listener and analyzing the base events to determine if a current security configuration is optimal given the base events.
Claims20
A method of adjusting security of a second user device comprising:
- receiving, at a first user device, an input for changing a state of the first user device from a locked state to an unlocked state;
- determining, at the first user device, data associated with one or more events occurring on the first user device when the first user device is in the unlocked state, wherein the data associated with the one or more events includes a signal received from an additional device;
- determining, based on additional input received at the first user device, whether to designate the additional device as a trusted device;
- and
- updating a current security configuration of the second user device based on the second user device sharing a user account with the first user device, the data associated with the one or more events, and whether the additional device is designated as a trusted device.
A first user device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- non-transitory memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the one or more processor, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, at the first user device, an input for changing a state of the first user device from a locked state to an unlocked state;
- determining data associated with one or more events occurring on the first user device when the first user device is in the unlocked state, wherein the data associated with the one or more events includes a signal received from an additional device;
- determining, based on additional input received at the first user device, whether to designate the additional device as a trusted device;
- and
- updating a current security configuration of a second user device based on the second user device sharing a user account with the first user device, the data associated with the one or more events and whether the additional device is designated as a trusted device.
A non-transitory memory medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a first user device, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an input for changing a state of the first user device from a locked state to an unlocked state;
- determining data associated with one or more events occurring on the first user device when the first user device is in the unlocked state, wherein the data associated with the one or more events includes a signal received from an additional device;
- determining, based on additional input received at the first user device, whether to designate the additional device as a trusted device;
- and
- updating a current security configuration of a second user device based on the second user device sharing a user account with the first user device, the data associated with the one or more events and whether the additional device is designated as a trusted device.
