Publication number: 20200036665Abstract: Posts to a social media platform are analyzed to determine if the posts are from the account owner or authorized user. The analysis is carried out based on previously learned patterns identified via the account owner's previous posts and their profile. The learned patterns of the user may be based on topics, sentiment, mood, context, content and other information. The learned patterns of a user are used to identify variation in the user intent relative to the topic of the post. The user profile can be used to determine if the variations are within a threshold range of variations based on user characteristics. Based on the analysis, malicious posts by unauthorized users can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2018Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Cesar Augusto Rodriguez Bravo, Edgar A.
