US 8,804,204 B2 · Password generating system and method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

Abstract

A password generating system includes a scanner, a coordinate obtaining unit, a writing information obtaining unit, a track obtaining unit, a dividing unit, a converter, and an output unit. The scanner includes a stylus part performing writing on a print medium with a code indicating coordinates in a password setting region. The scanner scans the code. The coordinate obtaining unit obtains the coordinates from the code. The writing information obtaining unit obtains writing information specifying the order of writing. The track obtaining unit obtains the track of writing based on the obtained coordinates and writing information. The dividing unit divides obtained tracks into units convertible to symbols. The converter converts the track in each unit into a symbol. The output unit obtains a symbol string by arranging obtained symbols in an order based on the order of writing, and outputs the symbol string as a password.

Dependent claims

A password generating system comprising:

a scanner including a stylus part that performs writing on a print medium on which a code indicating coordinates is added at least to a password setting region, the scanner scanning the code at a writing position at the time of writing performed with the stylus part in the password setting region;
a coordinate obtaining unit that obtains the coordinates from the code;
a writing information obtaining unit that obtains writing information that specifies the order of writing;
a track obtaining unit that obtains the track of writing in the password setting region, on the basis of the coordinates obtained by the coordinate obtaining unit and the writing information obtained by the writing information obtaining unit;
a dividing unit that divides a plurality of tracks obtained by the track obtaining unit into units convertible to symbols;
a converter that converts the track in each of the units, obtained by division performed by the diving unit, into a symbol;
and
an output unit that obtains a symbol string by arranging a plurality of symbols, obtained by conversion performed by the converter, in an order based on the order of writing, and outputs the symbol string as a password.
