Abstract
A method for generating a user interface at a mobile device includes receiving an indication of a user configurable pattern at a processor. The user configurable pattern indicates locations on a user interface that are spatially separated. The locations are configured to receive user input to enable access to data at the mobile device. The method also includes generating the user interface based on the user configurable pattern.
Claims30
An apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen of a computing device configured to display a plurality of input keys, wherein the plurality of input keys are displayed in a first arrangement of an input key pattern on the touch screen having a first color;
- and
- a processor coupled to the touch screen, the processor configured to:
- compare a first color of light reflected from an eye of a user to the first color displayed by the touch screen;
- in response to receiving an indication of contact with a first input key, change a position of one or more of the plurality of input keys to generate a second arrangement of the input key pattern of the plurality of input keys and change the color displayed by the touch screen to a second color;
- compare a second color of light reflected from the eye of the user to the second color displayed by the touch screen after receiving an indication of contact with a second input key;
- and
- determine whether to enable access to the computing device based, at least in part, on the comparison of colors reflected from the eye of the user matching the colors displayed by the touch screen and the received indication of the contact with the input keys.

A method comprising:
- displaying a plurality of input keys in a first arrangement of an input key pattern on a touch screen of a computing device, the touch screen displaying a first color;
- comparing a first color of light reflected from an eye of a user to the first color displayed by the touch screen;
- in response to receiving an indication of contact with a first input key, changing a position of one or more of the plurality of input keys to generate a second arrangement of the input key pattern of the plurality of input keys and changing the color displayed by the touch screen to a second color;
- comparing a second color of light reflected from the eye of the user to the second color displayed by the touch screen after receiving an indication of contact with a second input key;
- and
- determining whether to enable access to the computing device based, at least in part, on the comparison of colors reflected from the eye of the user matching the colors displayed by the touch screen and the received indication of the contact with the input keys.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- displaying a plurality of input keys in a first arrangement of an input key pattern on a touch screen of a computing device, the touch screen displaying a first color;
- comparing a first color of light reflected from an eye of a user to the first color displayed by the touch screen;
- in response to receiving an indication of contact with a first input key, changing a position of one or more of the plurality of input keys to generate a second arrangement of the input key pattern of the plurality of input keys and changing the color displayed by the touch screen to a second color;
- comparing a second color of light reflected from the eye of the user to the second color displayed by the touch screen after receiving an indication of contact with a second input key;
- and
- determining whether to enable access to the computing device based, at least in part, on the comparison of colors reflected from the eye of the user matching the colors displayed by the touch screen and the received indication of the contact with the first input keys.

An apparatus comprising:
- means for displaying a plurality of input keys in a first arrangement of an input key pattern on a touch screen of a computing device, wherein the means for displaying displays a first color;
- means for comparing a first color of light reflected from an eye of a user to the first color displayed by the touch screen;
- means for changing a position of one or more of the plurality of input keys to generate a second arrangement of the input key pattern of the plurality of input keys and changing the color displayed by the touch screen to a second color in response to receiving an indication of contact with a first input key;
- means for comparing a second color of light reflected from the eye of the user to the second color displayed by the touch screen after receiving an indication of contact with a second input key;
- and
- means for enabling access to a computing device based, at least in part, on the comparison of colors reflected from the eye of the user matching the colors displayed by the touch screen and the received indication of the contact with the input keys.
