US 9,794,243 B2 · Systems and methods for location-based device security

Abstract

A device may collect environmental information surrounding the device. Based on the collected environmental information, the device may automatically identify a potentially secured location that has lower security risk. When a potentially secured location is identified, the device may prompt the user to setup a security profile having reduced security requirement for the secured location. The device may store and associate the security profile with the secured location. The device may activate the security profile with reduced security requirement when the device is in the secured area. Further, the security profile may require that certain features of the device be disabled when the device is in the secured location.

Dependent claims

A system for device security comprising:

a non-transitory memory storing a security profile designating a secured location of a user;
and
one or more hardware processors configured to execute instructions to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving location information detected from a user device of the user;
determining whether the user device is located within the secured location based on the location information;
in response to determining that the user device is located within the secured location, authenticating the user through the user device without requiring authentication input from the user;
causing the system to process a payment transaction in response to authenticating the user through the user device;
and
causing the system to perform a reduced fraud analysis for the payment transaction in response to determining that the user device is within the secured location.
