(54) Title: SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISTINGUISHING AMONG HUMAN USERS AND SOFTWARE ROBOTS FIG. 6 (57) : A technique for distinguishing between a human user and a software robot. The technique includes: receiving a first communication from a device different from the at least one computer; identifying, from the first communication, a request to access a web resource; transmitting software code and location information to the device, wherein the location information specifies a plurality of locations encoding a visual representation of a challenge text, and wherein the software code, when executed by an Internet browser, causes a plurality of graphical elements to be displayed at the plurality of locations in a webpage so that the webpage displays the challenge text; receiving a second communication from the device; identifying, from the second communication, a response text; and providing the device with access to the web resource based on a comparison between the challenge text and the response text.
