Description

The present invention relates to a chart with characters used to create a new character string such as a password by combining a plurality of characters.

In financial services using information communication systems and membership services such as community sites, character strings individually assigned to each user such as IDs and passwords are used. In particular, passwords are often devised and set by the user himself / herself so that only the user of the service can know the password for the purpose of suppressing unauthorized use by a third party.

By the way, in this character string setting, since the user himself / herself forgets the set character string, a character string that is easy to guess associated with the date of birth, telephone number, address, and the like may be set. However, a character string that is easy to guess increases the possibility of unauthorized use by a third party when the user's personal information is known.

In addition, it has been attempted to devise and set a character string that is difficult for a third party to guess and easy to remember, but there are concerns that the character string set by this method may be forgotten and many types Because it is difficult to do, a single or a few kinds of character strings may be diverted. However, when a single or a few types of character strings are diverted, if a character string used in a service is known to a third party, the service cannot be used illegally by that third party. In other words, there is a high possibility that other services will be illegally used.

In addition, it is difficult for a third party to guess, and it is also possible to devise and set different character strings for multiple services, but there is a concern that you forget which character string was set for which service From time to time, there may be a record in the notebook so as not to forget it. However, when a record is left in a notebook or the like, if the record is made known to a third party due to loss or theft, the possibility of unauthorized use of a plurality of services by the third party increases.

Furthermore, in the operation of the above-mentioned character string, since the possibility of unauthorized use by a third party can be reduced by periodically changing the character string, the periodic change of the character string is received from the service provider. Although it is recommended, it is necessary to devise a new character string many times in order to change the character string many times, and it is a burden on the service user to devise several kinds of new character strings. It becomes. For this reason, it may lead to continuous use without periodically changing the character string, and by using the same character string for a long time, the character string may be decoded by a third party. Increasing the possibility of unauthorized use of the service by the third party.

In addition, it is a burden for the service user to memorize a newly set character string every time when the character string is changed periodically. It may lead to recording in a notebook etc. not to forget the line. For this reason, by using a small number of types of character strings for a long time, the possibility of a third party decoding the character string increases, and the possibility of unauthorized use of the service by the third party increases. Further, leaving a record in a notebook or the like may cause the record to be known to a third party due to loss or theft, and increases the possibility of unauthorized use of the service by the third party.

Therefore, a means has been proposed that uses a random number table in which character strings are arranged in a matrix as in Patent Document 1, making it difficult for a third party to decipher and making it easy to set a new character string. However, in the random number table proposed in Patent Document 1, in order to store and record which element is selected and the character string is set, two pieces of information of the number of rows and the number of columns of each element, In other words, two-dimensional coordinates are required, and since the selected order must be stored and recorded, information of information amount that is twice the number of selected elements is stored and recorded. This leads to a burden on users.

  JP2013-8212A

In order to solve the conventional problems, the present invention is difficult to decipher, easily generates and reproduces various types of character strings, and easily stores and records selected elements and their order. The purpose is to provide attached charts.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention constructs a chart with letters as follows.

Prepare a sufficient number of frames to create many kinds of character strings, and enter characters randomly in the frames. And, assuming the figure and chart that you can distinguish the position of the display surface by name, shape, and positional relationship, such as the operation panel and chart that people who create character strings usually use for different purposes, The frame is arranged so that the position of the frame can be distinguished by the name, shape, and positional relationship in the figure or diagram. At this time, on the surface on which the frame is arranged, an assumed figure or chart may be displayed in an overlapping manner or may not be displayed.

An arbitrary random character string can be created by selecting an arbitrary frame from among the frames arranged to distinguish the positions. If a frame is arranged assuming an operation panel that the user knows the operation procedure, select a frame based on the operation procedure, or assume a figure or design that the user himself is fond of. When the frame is arranged, the user can select a place where he / she thinks, and can select a frame at a position that is easy for the user to memorize.

Since the character string in this frame is random, the character string created by combining them is also random, and it is difficult for a third party to analogize the character string directly. When there are a plurality of methods for selecting the frame, a plurality of character strings that are difficult to guess can be easily created. Furthermore, by using a diagram with characters with different characters in the frame in a diagram with characters with the same frame arrangement, characters created by selecting the frame at the same position simply by replacing the diagram with the characters Since the columns change, it becomes easy to create many kinds of character strings, and the character strings can be easily changed periodically without changing the storage frame.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily store and record, but it is difficult to analogize, and it is possible to easily generate and reproduce various types of random character strings. Even if a record left unforgettable is lost or stolen, the character string is not directly known to a third party by managing the record and the chart with characters separately. Furthermore, it is possible to easily change the password periodically by switching the chart with characters.

3 is an example of a chart with characters according to the first embodiment. This is an arrangement of push buttons of a general telephone. It is an example of the chart with a character of Example 2. FIG. This is a general calculator button layout (1 to 9). It is an example of the chart with a character of Example 3. This is a QWERTY layout of a general keyboard. It is an example of the chart with a character of Example 4. This is a general monthly calendar layout. It is an example of the chart with a character of Example 5. FIG. This is a general clock character array.

Embodiments of a chart with letters according to the present invention will be described below. The embodiment of the present invention shows a preferable embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 1 shows a chart 2 with characters on a rectangular display surface 1 assuming a general two-dimensional array of four rows and three columns (FIG. 2) in a push button array of a mobile phone or the like. The display surface 1 may be a screen such as a liquid crystal display or a card made of paper or the like. In the case of a card, the material of the card is not limited to paper, and any material that can be printed or printed, such as resin or metal, may be any size and is the same size as a business card (55 mm x 91 mm) or the same as a credit card. When the size is about 53.98 mm x 85.60 mm, it is easy to put in a pocket such as a wallet and can be carried easily. In addition, the size is not limited thereto. For example, when the size is the same as that of a postcard (100 mm × 148 mm), a passport (88 mm × 125 mm), etc., the visibility is good, and it is easy to carry and store. If the diagram 2 with characters in 4 rows and 3 columns is regarded as a push button of a mobile phone or the like, each element 3 can be read as each button. For example, in the case of FIG. 1, the number quoted from the telephone number “0120” By using this, a random character string “3w6s4a3w” can be generated and reproduced.

If the phone number already stored by the user is used to create and reproduce a random character string, it may not be necessary to leave a new record, but a notebook etc. so as not to forget the selected frame and its order. In the case of recording in the above, since each character representing the position of each element may be one character (in the case of “0120”, “0” frame, “1” frame, “2” frame, “0”) Frames, and each frame can be distinguished by one character), and the conventional two-dimensional coordinates are recorded (in the case of “0120” above, the 4th row, 2nd column frame, 1st row, 1st column frame, 1st row 2) Rather than (for example, ((4,2) (1,1) (1,2) (4,2)) must be recorded) to represent the column frame, the 4th row, the second column frame You can easily keep a record.

In addition, only the number representing the selected frame (“0120” in the above example) is recorded in the notebook, etc., and stored separately from the chart with letters, so that either this record or the chart with letters is lost. Even if it is stolen, the created random character string cannot be reproduced immediately.

In addition, the position (number) and order of the selected frames for creating and reproducing a random character string are fixed, and by using a diagram with characters with different character strings displayed, the same frame can be selected completely. Another random string can be obtained. For this reason, it is possible to easily change the character string periodically, and it is possible to reduce the possibility of unauthorized use of the service from a third party in reuse.

In FIG. 1, each element is composed of a total of two characters in which one alphabetic character is placed after one numeric character, but the order of the number and the alphabetic character is randomized, or the number of characters other than two characters is changed. Characterized charts can be created even with rules other than the number of characters and order.

FIG. 3 is an example of a chart with letters when numbers 1 to 9, which are general numerical arrays (FIG. 4), are arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns on a calculator. The usage is the same as in the previous embodiment, and a random character string can be generated and reproduced from an array of numbers from 1 to 9.

FIG. 5 is an example of a chart with characters when arranged in a QWERTY layout (FIG. 6) which is a general layout of English letters in a keyboard layout of a personal computer or the like. The usage is the same as in the previous embodiment, but in this embodiment, a random number array is generated and reproduced from an array of 24 alphabetic characters from A to Z instead of an array of numbers. For example, in the case of the chart with characters shown in FIG. 5, a random character string “5u7j6r2d” can be generated and reproduced from an English character array “ABCD”.

FIG. 7 is an example of a chart with characters when arranged in 5 rows and 7 columns, which is a general arrangement (FIG. 8), in a monthly calendar. In FIG. 7, a calendar in which Sunday is arranged at the left end in the month from 1st to 31st is assumed, but from 1st to 28th, from 1st to 29th, from 1st to 30th Assuming a month, assuming a month that starts on a day other than Sunday from Monday to Saturday, or assuming a calendar with the leftmost column as a day other than Sunday it can. The usage is the same as in the above embodiment, but a random character string can be generated and reproduced by selecting a frame corresponding to an arbitrary date such as a favorite date.

FIG. 9 is an example of a chart with letters arranged using 12 frames (FIG. 10) that are common in watches. Although there are 12 frames in FIG. 9, the number of frames may be a multiple of 12 or a divisor. The usage is the same as in the above embodiment, but a random character string can be generated and reproduced by selecting a frame corresponding to an arbitrary time such as a favorite time.

The present invention can reduce the possibility of unauthorized use of the above services by a third party, which is a concern when operating financial services such as Internet banking and membership services such as community sites.
