Abstract:
A method of controlling use of network-connectable devices is provided. First network requests from a first user device executing a first operating system are monitored, and applications operating in the foreground on the first user device during the first network requests are monitored. A model is trained based on the first network requests and based on the applications respectively operating in the foreground on the first user device during the first network requests. Second network requests from a second user device executing a second operating system are monitored, and the model is applied to the second network requests from the second user device to determine a particular application operating in the foreground on the second user device. A function of the second user device is restricted based on the determining of the particular application operating in the foreground on the second user device.
