Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing an image or pictographic based login procedure for computer systems or networks. While useful in non-electronic ink environments, such systems and methods may find particular usefulness in login procedures for pen-based computing systems and/or other systems that accept electronic ink input.
- GUIs graphical user interfaces
- Typical computer systems are optimized for accepting user input from one or more discrete input devices, such as a keyboard for entering text and a pointing device, such as a mouse with one or more buttons, for operating the user interface.
- a GUI is the user interface for the Windows® computer operating system (available from Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash.).
- the ubiquitous keyboard and mouse interface provides for fast creation and modification of documents, spreadsheets, database fields, drawings, photos, web pages, emails, and the like.
- pen-based computing systems such as tablet personal computers (“tablet PCs”), personal digital assistants (“PDAs”), and the like
- user input advantageously may be introduced as “electronic ink” using an electronic “pen” or stylus (e.g., mimicking writing with a pen or pencil on a piece of paper).
- pen-based computing systems all user input is capable of being entered and manipulated using an electronic pen input device, and the user interface is fully controllable using only the electronic pen.
- a pen-based computer system As pen-based computing systems become more popular, many computer activities such as access in a computer system become more difficult to implement. For example, in a computer system in which a user logs into an individualized account or inputs security information to enter a restricted site, a pen-based computer system creates difficulties for the user to conveniently and efficiently maneuver the pen or stylus to accomplish the task.
- a display is presented to the user containing a field in which the user enters a userid and a field in which the user enters a corresponding password.
- a user inputs information via a keyboard. Therefore, if inputting data via a keyboard is problematic (e.g., a keyboard is not available or not conveniently accessible), a user may not be able to input data as necessary. In such a system lacking a conveniently available keyboard, a user would be unable to successfully access information because of the inability to enter authentication information into the system.
- a user In the traditional method of gaining access to a private account, a user typically enters a password via a keyboard.
- a password that has a higher level of security i.e., a completely random string of characters that is not otherwise associated with the user
- the user often forgets the password and must expend effort in having the password reset, obtaining the password from a system administrator, etc.
- the user may select a password that is easy to remember, such as the user's date of birth.
- passwords are easy to “crack” and provide very little security to the user. This defeats the purpose of having the security system in the first place.
- Such systems and methods may include: (a) displaying a first image on a computer display screen; (b) receiving a first user input indicating a portion of the first image (e.g., via an electronic ink input system); (c) determining if the first user input corresponds to a first acceptable user input for user authentication (e.g., via a computer processor system); and (d) proceeding with a user authentication procedure when the first user input corresponds to the first acceptable user input for user authentication.
- systems and methods in accordance with examples of this invention may further include: displaying a second image on the computer display screen; receiving a second user input indicating a portion of the second image; and determining if the second user input corresponds to a second acceptable user input for authentication. If desired, user access to the computer system or network may be allowed when the first and/or second user inputs correspond to the acceptable user inputs for user authentication.
- aspects of the invention further relate to computer-readable media including computer-executable instructions stored thereon for providing image or pictographic based authentication procedures for computer systems or networks like those described above.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example general-purpose digital computing environment in which at least some aspects of the present invention may be implemented
- FIG. 2 illustrates an example pen-based personal computing environment in which at least some aspects of the present invention may be implemented
- FIG. 3 illustrates an example of one aspect of the present invention in which an image is selected for use as an authentication tool
- FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C illustrate an example of one aspect of the invention in which a user selects a portion of an image on a display in a user authentication procedure.
- aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for an image or pictographic login procedure.

- the digitizer 165 is shown apart from the monitor 107 in FIG. 1 , the usable input area of the digitizer 165 may be co-extensive with the display area of the monitor 107 . Further still, the digitizer 165 may be integrated in the monitor 107 , or it may exist as a separate device overlaying or otherwise appended to the monitor 107 .
- the computer 100 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 109 .
- the remote computer 109 can be a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and it typically may include many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 100 , although for simplicity, only a memory storage device 111 has been illustrated in FIG. 1 .

- program modules depicted relative to the personal computer 100 may be stored in a remote memory storage device.
- network connections shown are examples and other techniques for establishing a communications link between the computers can be used.
- the existence of any of various well-known protocols such as TCP/IP, Ethernet, FTP, HTTP, UDP, and the like is presumed, and the system can be operated in a client-server configuration to permit a user to retrieve web pages from a web-based server.
- Any of various conventional web browsers can be used to display and manipulate data on web pages.
- FIG. 1 environment shows one example environment
- other computing environments also may be used in systems and methods according to this invention.
- one or more examples of the present invention may use an environment having fewer than all of the various aspects shown in FIG. 1 and described above, and these aspects may appear in various combinations and subcombinations that will be apparent to one of ordinary skill. Additional features from those shown in FIG. 1 also may be included in environments useful with this invention.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a pen-based personal computer (“PC”) 201 that may be used in accordance with various aspects of the present invention. Any or all of the features, subsystems, and functions in the system of FIG. 1 can be included in the computer of FIG. 2 .
- the pen-based personal computer system 201 includes a large display surface 202 , e.g., a digitizing flat panel display, such as a liquid crystal display (“LCD”) screen, on which a plurality of windows 203 is displayed.
- a digitizing flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display (“LCD”) screen
- LCD liquid crystal display
- stylus 204 a user can select, highlight, and write on the digitizing display area and thereby enter electronic ink data into the system.
- suitable digitizing display panels include electromagnetic pen digitizers, such as pen digitizers available from Mutoh Co.
- the pen-based computing system 201 interprets gestures made using stylus 204 in order to manipulate data, enter text as electronic ink, and execute conventional computer application tasks, such as creating, editing, and modifying spreadsheets, word processing programs, and the like.
- the stylus 204 may be equipped with buttons or other features to augment its capabilities.
- a stylus 204 could be implemented as a “pencil” or “pen,” in which one end constitutes a writing portion and the other end constitutes an “eraser” end 205 , and which, when moved across the display, indicates portions of electronic ink on the display that are to be erased.
- Other types of input devices such as a mouse, trackball, keyboard, or the like also may be used.
- a user's own finger could be used as an input device, e.g., for selecting or indicating portions of the displayed image on a touch-sensitive or proximity-sensitive display. Consequently, the term “user input device,” as used herein, is intended to have a broad definition and encompasses many variations on well-known input devices.
- electronic ink e.g., of the type described above
- pen-based computing systems that accept user input via an electronic pen and/or display at least some forms of input as “electronic ink,” e.g., of the type described above, have increased in popularity.
- Use of electronic ink input as opposed to conventional pen and paper is advantageous in many respects.
- electronic ink input may be electronically stored, filed, and cataloged for future use, which enables it to be easily maintained, located, and shared with others.
- electronic ink input can be recognized and converted to conventional machine-generated text (e.g., text insertable into, readable by, and useful by conventional computers), it can be electronically stored, searched, and otherwise used on the computer, for example, in conventional word processing documents and programs, in spreadsheets, in email programs, in document management programs, in web browsers, and the like.
- Handwriting recognition systems are commercially available that allow handwritten electronic ink input to be converted to machine-generated text.
- One example of a handwriting recognizer is that provided with the Windows XP Tablet PC EditionTM operating system (available from Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash.), although other handwriting recognizers also are known and may be used in computer systems in accordance with this invention.
- pen-based computer operating systems provide an ink platform through direct modification of GINA.dll or as a set of component object model (“COM”) services that an operating system and/or an application program can use to capture, manipulate, recognize, and store ink and/or other pen actions or events.
- the ink platform also may include a mark-up language including a language like the extensible markup language (“XML”). Additional examples of the ink platform may use the distributed component object model (“DCOM”) implementation. Yet further implementations may be used including the Win32 programming model and the .Net programming model from Microsoft Corporation. Such platforms are commercially available and known in the art.
- Electronic ink data may be stored in an ink serialized format (“ISF”) or in any other suitable or desired manner, including in conventional manners known to those skilled in the art.
- ISF ink serialized format
- aspects of this invention may be used in conjunction with other types of pen-based computing systems and/or other devices that accept data as electronic ink and/or that accept, process, or display electronic pen or stylus input, such as: hand-held or palm-top computing systems; personal digital assistants; pocket personal computers; mobile and cellular telephones, pagers, and other communication devices; watches; appliances; and any other devices or systems that include monitors or other display devices and/or digitizers that present printed or graphical information to users and/or allow input using an electronic pen or stylus or that can process electronic ink collected by another device (e.g., a conventional desktop computer that can process electronic ink collected by a tablet PC).
- a conventional desktop computer that can process electronic ink collected by a tablet PC
- aspects of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods that may utilize an image in user authorization or authentication (e.g., secure website logins, computer system or network logins, and/or other security situations).
- a user may select a preferred image, for example from a menu of possible image choices or a personal image provided by the user, which is presented to the user on a display.
- the selected image when displayed to the user, may be used in any authorization or authentication procedure in which the identity of the user needs to be ascertained. For example, when a user logs onto a computer system, it is typically desired that security of the system be maintained so that user data is not compromised by other users. Thus, methods and systems are desired that safeguard individual user accounts for the respective user.
- the image selected conforms to predetermined characteristics and specifications to be optimized for use as a user authentication tool.
- the predetermined characteristics and specification of the selected image may be selected, for example, on the needs of the user in any given system or network and may include, but is not limited to, image complexity, size or resolution.
- the image may contain a medium to high level of complexity such that a user may easily select a predetermined area in the image when a portion of the image is selected by the user for authentication.
- increased complexity of the image increases accuracy of selection of the predetermined portion of the image, allowing the user to accurately pinpoint the portion of the image corresponding to the login selection.
- a complex image also is advantageous from a security standpoint in that it prevents or inhibits unauthorized users from easily guessing the portion of the image to be indicated for successful login or authentication.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an example of one aspect of the present invention in which an image is selected for use as an authentication tool.
- a selection of images is presented to a user on a display such that the user may select a desired image for use in the authentication procedure.
- Any number of images in any order or format may be used.
- a display of multiple images may be presented on a display in a grid format (e.g., as thumbnail images) as illustrated in FIG. 3 .
- a user could electronically page through a library of images (e.g., using a “NEXT” or “PREVIOUS” button) and select the authentication image from this library.
- a user may import his/her own image, if desired.
- a user-provided image should conform to minimum resolution and complexity standards to ensure that the image provides a high level of security and privacy in the login process.
- FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C illustrate an example of one aspect of the invention in which a user selects a portion of an image on a display in a first step of user authentication according to the present invention.
- FIG. 4A is an image previously selected by the user as a pictographic login image of the present invention, and when a procedure requiring user authentication is initiated (e.g., a computer is turned on, access to a secure website or data file is requested, etc.), this image is displayed to this user.
- the image has sufficient complexity and resolution to provide accuracy in selection of a portion of the image, reproducibility of selection of the proper portion of the image, and facility of the user to identify the desired portion of the image to select.
- the image selected in this example is an image of snow-covered mountains.
- FIG. 4B is the display of FIG. 4A after the user has selected a portion of the image for login or authentication purposes.
- User selection of a portion of the image may be accomplished by any variety of input devices such as but not limited to a mouse, a pen, a stylus, a finger, etc.
- the user For proper authentication, the user must select the area of the image that has been designated as the area of the image to select for successful log in.
- the area of the image to select for log-in has been previously selected by the user, and that same area of the image must be subsequently selected to successfully complete the log-in or authentication procedure.
- There are many other features of the selection of the image portion that may optionally be used to increase privacy and security.
- the shape used to select the portion of the image may also be set to require user input in a certain shape such that the user must not only select the proper portion of the image, but he/she also must select the portion of the image using a predetermined shape.
- the predetermined shape used in the present example is a circle although the invention is not limited to any particular shape. Any shape may be used, and optionally required, for authentication, without departing from the invention.
- Another potential method of enhancing security is to require preselected input characteristics relating to additional features of the image selection before authentication may be granted.
- the direction of drawing the selection may be pre-selected such that the user may have to draw the image selection in a particular order or direction.
- the direction of selecting the proper portion of the image may be optionally limited to drawing the selection in a clockwise direction or in a counter-clockwise direction.
- the system may require user input of the selection to start at a particular spot on the circle (e.g., the 8 o'clock position) in order to successfully authenticate. In these ways, the user may be required to draw the selection in a predetermined manner or authentication may not occur.
- the color of the electronic ink used for the selection may be optionally regulated in order to provide enhanced security.
- the user may be required to draw the selection of the image with a particular color of ink, e.g., red, selected from a color pallet included with the authentication image. If this option is included in the authentication procedure, a user selecting the proper portion of the image may still fail to gain access or authorization if the user draws the selection with an improperly selected color. In this way, security is further increased such that an unauthorized person would have great difficulty in accessing the private account, data, or other information of another user.
- a particular color of ink e.g., red
- the selection of the portion of the image by the user may not be the precise preselected area identified by the user during the security system set-up procedure. Due to variability and inaccuracies of the input by a human user, an authorized user may fail to draw a selection around the precise desired area in the image. Rather, due to human error or slight variations in selecting the proper portion of the image, the selection may be slightly skewed from the precise location of the portion of the image. The tolerance of the skew may depend on the individual system or network and may be calculated or adjusted based on the needs of the user, for example.
- the login and authentication method and system of the present invention provide for a tolerance in the selection of the portion of the image for user authorization.
- the authorization process will proceed. Only if the selection is outside a predetermined tolerance level from the predetermined area will the system not permit the user to log in (or at least to continue into the login procedure).
- This tolerance may depend on many factors such as the complexity of the image, the resolution of the image used for authentication, or the input means, to name a few.
- systems and methods according to at least some examples of this invention may allow a user and/or a system administrator to select the tolerance level to maximize security while permitting authentication within an acceptable range of the pre-selected input.
- the system and method of the present invention proceeds with the authorization procedure.
- Proceeding with the authorization procedure may include any number of outcomes depending on the needs of the user or the parameters of the computer system.
- the authorization procedure may proceed by completing the authorization process.
- the computer may complete other login procedures (e.g., open windows to secure information, launch programs designated in a start-up menu, etc.).
- the authorization procedure may proceed with other security and/or authentication steps that may be required by systems and methods according to at least some examples of this invention prior to full completion of authorization and login.
- another image may optionally be displayed as part of the authorization process. In this example as illustrated in FIG. 4C , an enlarged portion of the previous image is displayed on the screen. Alternatively, a different image altogether may be used.
- a second image is displayed after selection of the portion of the first image.
- the second image contains a portion that is further used for authentication of the user. For example, if the user properly selected the correct portion of the first image (as shown in FIG. 4B ), the second image may appear, and proper selection by the user of a pre-selected portion in the second image enables continued authentication and/or login. For added security, a second image optionally still will be displayed even if the correct portion of the first image was not properly selected in the first step. In this way, an unauthorized user trying to compromise the system will not be tipped off as to whether the first selection was correct or erroneous immediately after the selection of a portion of the first image.
- the user selects a portion of the second image.
- there may be additional features to enhance security in selection of the portion of the second image including, but not limited to, specifying the color of the ink used to make the selection, restricting the manner or shape used in selecting the portion of the image, etc. If the user properly selects a pre-determined portion of the second image within an acceptable tolerance, the authentication process may continue.
- the process repeats as described until the final image is properly processed and the proper portion of the final image is selected. If all of the selections were proper, the login and authentication process is complete and the user logs into the system under his Userid in his account. If any one selection was erroneous, login/authentication fails. A message may optionally be displayed to the user indicating that authorization has failed.
- a traditional display in which a user is requested to input a userid and/or a password may be combined with the authentication method of the present invention to enhance security.
- an unauthorized user may access the account if he/she is able to obtain the authorized user's password. By logging into the account improperly, the unauthorized user compromises security.
- multiple forms of security used in conjunction can further prevent an unauthorized user from improperly gaining access to another user's account information.
- information may be hidden within the image displayed.
- steganography may be used in which information is hidden in the image such that only the user knows of the existence of the information.
