US Patent 10423766 Data protection system based on user input patterns on device

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for protecting data stored on a device based on user input patterns. The device may have one or more types of user interfaces. The user interacts with a user interface of the device according to a pattern. The interaction pattern is monitored, and compared to one or more stored acceptable user interface patterns associated with sensitive data. If the interaction pattern of the user does not match an acceptable user interface pattern, a data protection response assigned to the data is enacted.
