System for and method of web signature recognition system based on object map
First Claim
1. A method of validating an identity of a user using a pointing device comprising the steps of:
- displaying a background image, positioning at least one object on said background image, operating said pointing device to provide data relative to said background image, sampling a plurality of events corresponding to positions of said cursor while performing said step of operating to provide a sampled pointing device (PD) signature including a set of position vectors, comparing said sampled PD signature to a stored PD signature representing the identity of the user, and validating said identity of said user in response to said comparing step.

Abstract
The present invention includes a system and a method of validating an identity of a user using a pointing device by comparing a sampled mouse signature with an authenticated mouse signature. The method includes presenting a virtual pad including a background graphic image, a plurality of objects positioned on the background graphic image to a user. The user moves the pointing device to manipulate a cursor on the background graphic image. The method includes a step of sampling a plurality of events corresponding to positions of the cursor to provide a sampled mouse signature including a set of position vectors. The present invention includes comparing the sampled mouse signature to a stored mouse signature representing the identity of a user, and validating the identity of a user in response to the comparing step.

17. A software system stored on a computer readable medium for validating a user'"'"'s identity comprising software configured to perform the steps of:
-
displaying an object map to a user;
receiving a signal from an input device manipulated by a user;
sampling a plurality of events corresponding to positions of said cursor to provide a sampled signature including a set of position vectors;
processing said position vectors to provide signature characteristics;
comparing said signature characteristics to characteristics of a stored signature representing the user'"'"'s identity;
validating said user'"'"'s identity in response to said comparing step. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A signature recognition system comprising:
-
a user computer system including a pointing device and a display screen, said user computer system operational to display a virtual pad on said display screen, respond to a positioning of said pointing device to position a cursor on said virtual pad, and provide a collection of vectors describing an operation of said pointing device with respect to said cursor; and
a verification server in communication with said user computer system for receiving said collection of vectors, processing said vectors, comparing said processed vectors to exemplar signature data and, in response, providing signature recognition data. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
