Abstract
One embodiment provides a method for ensuring device security via swipe pattern recognition, the method comprising: utilizing at least one processor to execute computer code that performs the steps of: receiving, using a touch device, at least one swipe input of a user; determining, using the at least one processor, if the at least one swipe input matches a known swipe pattern of the user, the match requiring exceeding a match confidence level; and responsive to said determining, executing an action associated with the touch device. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims20
A method for ensuring device security via swipe pattern recognition, the method comprising:
- utilizing at least one processor to execute computer code that performs the steps of:
- receiving, using a touch device, at least one swipe input of a user;
- determining, using the at least one processor, if the at least one swipe input matches a known swipe pattern of the user, the match requiring exceeding a match confidence level;
- and
- responsive to said determining, executing an action associated with the touch device.
An apparatus for ensuring device security via swipe pattern recognition, the apparatus comprising:
- a touch surface;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith and executable by the at least one processor, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code that receives, using the touch surface, at least one swipe input;
- computer readable program code that determines, using the at least one processor, if the at least one swipe input matches a known swipe pattern, the match requiring exceeding a match confidence level;
- and
- computer readable program code that, responsive to said determination, executes an action associated with the apparatus.
A computer program product for ensuring device security via swipe pattern recognition, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code that receives, using a touch device, at least one swipe input;
- computer readable program code that determines, using at least one processor, if the at least one swipe input matches a known swipe pattern, the match requiring exceeding a match confidence level;
- and
- computer readable program code that responsive to said determination, executes an action associated with the touch device.
A method of passive privacy preserving authentication for touch devices, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a touch device, a sequence of strokes;
- grouping, based on stoke characteristics, similar strokes;
- generating, based on the grouped similar strokes, a user alphabet;
- receiving, at the touch surface, at least one additional stroke;
- determining, using a processor, if the at least one additional stroke shares one or more characteristics with the user alphabet;
- and
- responsive to determining whether the at least one additional stoke does not share one or more characteristics with the user alphabet, securing the touch device.
