TRUSTED TRAVEL DEVICES EQUIPPED WITH ON-THE-FLY MONITORING

Abstract:

A method for enhancing travel security features associated with a mobile device is provided. The method may include operating a time clock on the mobile device to determine a start device confiscation time in the memory and to determine an end device confiscation time in the memory. The method may also include monitoring the operation of the mobile device between the start device confiscation time and the end device confiscation time to determine the existence of an anomalous device condition. The monitoring may include using a network traffic monitor device, a bandwidth usage monitor device, a battery performance monitor device, a website presentation monitor device, and/or central processing usage monitor device. The monitoring may record a device activity between the start time and the end time and flag the anomalous device condition that occurred between the start time and the end time.
