Abstract
A process including: displaying icons used for password entry into an electronic system, in such a way that a hand movement associated with entry of the password into the system is randomized.
Claims20
An electronic system comprising an electronic screen, a computer readable memory, and a processor, software instructions being encoded on the computer readable memory and executable to perform operations including:
- displaying a plurality of symbols positioned at individual coordinate locations on the electronic screen, an initial symbol arrangement being defined by predetermined appearances and the individual coordinate locations of the plurality of symbols;
- providing secure password entry into the system by entering a plurality of password elements in a sequence defining a password, each password element entry operation including defining a drag and drop operation between source and destination coordinate locations to move a source symbol of the plurality of the symbols positioned at the source coordinate location into contact with a destination symbol of the plurality of the symbols positioned at the destination coordinate location, said source and destination coordinate locations being different each from the other, the entered password element defined by a combination of the source and destination symbols;
- and
- subsequent to each drag and drop operation moving the source symbol from the source coordinate location, returning the source symbol back to the source coordinate location, thereby restoring the initial symbol arrangement after completion of each drag and drop operation.

An electronic system comprising:
- means for displaying a plurality of symbols positioned at individual coordinate locations on a display screen of a device connected to the system, an initial symbol arrangement being defined by predetermined appearances and the individual coordinate locations of the plurality of symbols;
- means for providing secure password entry into the system by entering a plurality of password elements in a sequence defining a password, each password element entry operation including defining a drag and drop operation between source and destination coordinate locations to move a source symbol of the plurality of the symbols positioned at the source coordinate location into contact with a destination symbol of the plurality of the symbols positioned at the destination coordinate location, said source and destination coordinate locations being different each from the other, the entered password element defined by a combination of the source and destination symbols;
- and
- means for, subsequent to each drag and drop operation moving the source symbol from the source coordinate location, returning the source symbol back to the source coordinate location, thereby restoring the initial symbol arrangement after completion of each drag and drop operation.
1 more element
An electronic system for providing secure password entry into said electronic system using a swipe gesture, the electronic system comprising:
- a display screen;
- a computer readable memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- display on said display screen a plurality of indicia including at least a plurality of first indicia and a plurality of second indicia visually distinct from the first indicia, the plurality of first indicia having predetermined appearances and being positioned at individual coordinate locations to collectively form a first arrangement pattern, the plurality of second indicia having predetermined appearances and being positioned at individual coordinate locations to collectively form a second arrangement pattern visually distinct from the first arrangement pattern;
- translate, by a drag and drop operation, a source indicia of said plurality of indicia initially positioned at a source coordinate location to a destination indicia of said plurality of indicia positioned at a destination coordinate location different from the source coordinate location, to thereby move said source indicia into contact with said destination indicia;
- subsequent to contact of a pair of indicia including one of the first indicia and one of the second indicia, entering a password element defined by the pair of indicia;
- subsequent to each drag and drop operation translating a selected indicia from an initial coordinate location, translate said selected indicia back to said initial coordinate location, thereby restoring the first and second arrangement patterns after completion of each drag and drop operation;
- and
- subsequent to entry of a plurality of password elements in a sequence, authenticating a password defined by said sequence of password elements.
