Publication number: 20260349479Abstract: A system for monitoring and modifying mobile device usage behavior is provided, comprising a portable computer device having an inertial measurement unit, a risk score engine computing a risk score from orientation data, an intervention module delivering outputs mapped to the risk score, a reinforcement learning agent updating intervention parameters from observed reorientation responses, and a sensor subsystem exclusively restoring outputs upon detecting orientation within a safe usage angle. Also provided is a system for training a population model, in which devices extract anonymized behavioral data via differential privacy and secure aggregation to a training module that trains cohort models using federated learning, and a distribution module initializes device parameters that transition from population-determined to individually-determined as usage data accumulates.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2026Publication date: November 5, 2026Applicant: UpBright LLCInventors: Shawn LaBelle, Thomas Lee Steiner
