Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for detecting suspicious or performance-degrading mobile device behaviors intelligently, dynamically, and/or adaptively determine computing device behaviors that are to be observed, the number of behaviors that are to be observed, and the level of detail or granularity at which the mobile device behaviors are to be observed. The various aspects efficiently identify suspicious or performance-degrading mobile device behaviors without requiring an excessive amount of processing, memory, or energy resources. Various aspects may correct suspicious or performance-degrading mobile device behaviors. Various aspects may prevent identified suspicious or performance-degrading mobile device behaviors from degrading the performance and power utilization levels of a mobile device over time. Various aspects may restore an aging mobile device to its original performance and power utilization levels.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for efficient behavioral analysis on a mobile station. In the method, one or more first behavioral characteristics associated with a first state of a finite state machine are observed. The one or more first behavioral characteristics may comprise a first subset of observable behavioral characteristics. The mobile station transitions from the first state to a second state. One or more second behavioral characteristics associated with the second state of the finite state machine are observed. The one or more second behavioral characteristics may comprise a second subset of the observable behavioral characteristics.
