Cheat detection by comparing mouse input and frame buffer

A computer program product having a series of operating instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium that direct the operation of one or more processors to perform operations including:

• determining inferred motion data from image sequences received from a computing device, wherein the image sequences are from an interactive program executing on the computing device and the determining includes estimating per-frame camera pose of the image sequences, determining camera pose coordinates for each frame of the image sequence, and calculating an orientation change for the image sequence;
• comparing actual motion data to the inferred motion data determined from the image sequences, wherein the actual motion data is from a user input device and corresponds to interacting with the interactive program executing on the computing device;
• and
• determining possible cheating based on the comparing.

A monitor, comprising:

• a screen;
• an input port configured to receive actual motion data from a user input device, wherein the actual motion data corresponds to interacting with an interactive program on the screen;
• and
• one or more processors to perform operations including:
• receiving image data of the interactive program that includes image sequences of the interactive program to display on the screen;
• estimating inferred motion data from the image sequences determining per frame optic flow change using motion vectors, and estimating orientation of change using the per frame optic flow changes;
• comparing the actual motion data to the inferred motion data determined from the image sequences;
• and
• determining possible cheating based on the comparing.

A computing device for monitoring cheating, comprising:

• a screen;
• one or more interfaces to receive actual motion data from a user input device and image data, wherein the actual motion data corresponds to interacting with an interactive program, and the image data is from the interactive program and includes image sequences of the interactive program to display on a screen;
• and
• one or more processors to perform operations including:
• determining inferred motion data from the image sequences by estimating per-frame camera pose of the image sequences, determining camera pose coordinates for each frame of the image sequence, calculating an orientation change for the image sequence, and adjusting using mouse sensitivity;
• comparing the actual motion data to the inferred motion data determined from the image sequences;
• and
• determining possible cheating based on the comparing.

A cheat detection system for video game play, comprising:

• a computing device including an integrated screen and one or more processors that generates a cheat alert by comparing actual motion data from an input device used by a user playing a video game to inferred motion data determined from received image sequences of the video game displayed on the screen;
• and
• a streaming processor having one or more processors to perform operations including:
• receiving cheating alerts associated with a user executing the video game, wherein one type of the cheating alerts is the cheat alert generated by the computing device;
• and
• determining a likelihood of cheating by the user based on the cheating alerts received over a designated amount of time.
