When human users traverse physical space or traverse computer software, they take 'navigational paths.' Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to machine logic for identifying a favorable navigation paths by monitoring physical or computer software navigation paths used by human users as they use a set of computer program(s). This favorable navigation path, through physical space or the logic of the set of computer program(s), can then be suggested to future users who want to navigate from a similar starting point to a similar end point.

Tracking computer user navigations to generate new navigation paths

A computer-implemented method to identify unauthorized use of a device based on a usage pattern. The method includes tracking usage of a device, wherein the usage includes activity by a user interacting with the device. The method includes identifying a usage pattern, wherein the usage pattern is based on usage data. The method further includes generating, based on the usage pattern, a heatmap. The method includes predicting future usage of the device by the user, wherein the predicting includes generating a Markov chain of the predicted future usage. The method also includes determining actual usage is different than the predicted usage. The method further includes calculating, in response to determining the actual usage is different than the predicted future usage, a difference score. The method includes determining the difference score is above a difference threshold, and activating, in response to the difference score being above the difference threshold, an alert.
