As the number of malicious Android applications increases rapidly, many automatic analysis systems are proposed. Hoping to trigger as many malicious behaviors as possible, the automatic analysis systems are adopting random touch generation modules. In this paper, we propose how to differentiate real human touches and randomly generated touches. Through experiments, we figured out that the distance between two consecutive human touches is shorter than that of random generation module. Also we found that the touch speed of human is also limited. In addition, humans rarely touch the outer area of smartphone screen. By using statistics of human smartphone touch, we developed an algorithm to differentiate between human touches and randomly generated touches. We hope this research will help enhance automatic Android app analysis systems.
