Abstract

The present disclosure addresses the technical problems faced by a basic user or an emergent user while using a smart phone. For the basic users it is difficult to identify the threat on the smartphone. A system and method for enhancing the security features of a smartphone has been provided. Initially, the system classify the user of the smartphone as the basic user or non-basic user using a series of questions. The proposed method is only applicable to the basic user archetype. The present disclosure further describes the method for simplification of an information architecture and multimodal communication of the threats on the smartphone for a basic user archetype or emergent users. Specifically, this disclosure bridges the information communication gaps between the basic archetype user and the information system by surfacing the risks and optimizing their information hierarchy.
