Abstract
Systems and method for receiving mobile device usage data from mobile electronic devices using security applications with enhanced access privileges. The mobile device usage data includes user-specific and application usage data. Application classification databases are searched for application characteristics of applications available for download from multiple marketplaces. Using the application characteristics, a weighted application relationship graph that includes relationship scores for application pairs that describe the degree to which applications in each of the application pairs are related to, is generated. Based on the mobile device usage and the relationship scores, a list of recommended applications can be generated for a particular user. The list of recommended applications includes the applications determined to be associated with at least one of the applications installed on the user's mobile device with a relationship score greater than a threshold. The method then sends the list of recommended applications to the user's mobile device.
