Abstract
A method of password authentication by eye tracking for a computing device of a virtual reality (VR) system is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining a user's focus point, displaying at least a graphical unlocking pattern for the user by a head-mounted display (HMD) of the VR system, determining whether the user's focus point is at the graphical unlocking patterns within a time interval or following a preconfigured focal sequence, and determining a password authentication operation is unlocked when the focus point at the graphical unlocking patterns within the time interval or following the preconfigured focal sequence.
Claims13
A method of password authentication by eye tracking for a computing device of a virtual reality (VR) system, the method comprising:
- obtaining a user's focus point;
- displaying at least a graphical unlocking pattern of a password authentication operation for the user by a head-mounted display (HMD) of the VR system;
- determining whether the user's focus point is at the graphical unlocking patterns within a time interval or following a preconfigured focal sequence;
- and
- determining the password authentication operation is unlocked when the focus point at the graphical unlocking patterns within the time interval or following the preconfigured focal sequence.
A virtual reality system for password authentication by eye tracking, the virtual reality system comprising:
- a computing device, for executing a software system to generate virtual reality images;
- a head-mounted display (HMD), connecting to the computing device, for displaying a virtual reality image to a user;
- and
- at least an eye tracking device, connecting to the computing device, for detecting a user's focus point;
- wherein the computing device includes:
- a processing means for executing a program;
- and
- a storage unit coupled to the processing means for storing the program;
- wherein the program instructs the processing means to perform the following steps:
- obtaining a user's focus point from the eye tracking device;
- displaying at least a graphical unlocking pattern of a password authentication operation for the user by the HMD;
- determining whether the user's focus point is at the graphical unlocking patterns within a time interval or following a preconfigured focal sequence;
- and
- determining the password authentication operation is unlocked when the focus point is at the graphical unlocking patterns within the time interval or following the preconfigured focal sequence.
