Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatus for assessing the likely status of an operator of a computing device interacting with a server as a human operator or an autonomic computer application, such as a “bot” are described herein. By monitoring at least some data, e.g., biometric data, generated at the client computing device, a comparison can be made between the monitored data and model data relating to human interaction with the computing device. The results of the comparison can lead to a value that represents the likelihood that the monitored data results from human interaction.
Claims27
A method comprising:
- providing data collection data that causes computing devices to collect active data;
- receiving interest data including active data and passive data from a computing device attempting access to a protected page of a website;
- performing an assessment comprising assessing the received interest data including at least some active data and at least some passive data in conjunction with model data relating to prior sessions involving human interactions with the website;
- and
- generating a probability value based on the assessment, wherein the probability value represents a likelihood that an operator of the computing device is a human being rather than an autonomic computer application.
A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by at least one machine, configure the at least one machine to perform operations comprising:
- provide data collection data that causes computing devices to collect active data;
- receive interest data including active data and passive data from a computing device attempting access to a protected page of a website;
- perform an assessment comprising assessing the received interest data including at least some active data and at least some passive data in conjunction with model data relating to prior sessions involving human interactions with the website;
- and
- generate a probability value based on the assessment, wherein the probability value represents a likelihood that an operator of the computing device is a human being rather than an autonomic computer application.
A server system comprising:
- a processing device configured to execute computer instructions;
- a non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon the computer instructions, which when executed by the processing device, cause a server of the server system to:
- provide data collection data that causes computing devices to collect active data;
- receive interest data including active data and passive data from a computing device attempting access to a protected page of a website;
- perform an assessment comprising assessing the received interest data including at least some active data and at least some passive data in conjunction with model data relating to prior sessions involving human interactions with the website;
- and
- generate a probability value based on the assessment, wherein the probability value represents a likelihood that an operator of the computing device is a human being rather than an autonomic computer application.
