Abstract

A method of generating an image code includes receiving a site identification (ID) of an access site, receiving a user ID and a password for accessing the access site, and generating an image code for establishing a login to the access site based upon the user ID and the password.

Claims

1. A method of generating an image code, the method comprising:

receiving a site identification (ID) of an access site;

receiving a user ID and a password for accessing the access site; and

generating an image code for establishing a login to the access site based upon the user ID and the password.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the image code comprises one or more pieces of information relating to the access site.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the site ID of the access site comprises a portion or all of a website address.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the login comprises a login through an initial screen and a login when booting an operating system.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the login comprises a login when returning from a standby screen to a previous user screen.

6. A method for performing login using an image code, the method comprising:

connecting to a site to which access requires a login;

obtaining an image code via a camera;

obtaining information from the image code;

identifying in the information a site identification (ID) corresponding to the site; and

initiating a login to the site based on a user ID and password included in the image code and which correspond to the site ID.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the image code comprises one or more pieces of information relating to the access site.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the login comprises a login through an initial screen.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the login comprises a login when booting an operating system and a login when a terminal returns from a standby screen to a previous user screen.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the login comprises a login through an image code agent installed in a terminal.

11. The method of claim 6, wherein the site ID comprises a portion or all of a website address.

12. A terminal for login using an image code, the terminal comprising:

an image code generator for generating an image code for a login;

an image code recognition device for obtaining information from the image code; and

a controller for identifying in the information a site identification (ID) corresponding to a site, and if the site ID is identified, initiating a login to the site based on a user ID and password included in the image code and which correspond to the site ID.

13. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the site ID comprises a portion or all of a website address.

14. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the login comprises a login through an initial screen.

15. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the login comprises a login when booting an operation system and a login when returning from a standby screen to a previous user screen.

16. A terminal for generating an image code, the terminal comprising:

means for receiving a site ID of an access site;

means for receiving a user identification (ID) and a password for accessing the access site; and

means for generating an image code for establishing a login to the access site based upon the user ID and the password.

17. The terminal of claim 16, wherein the image code comprises one or more pieces of information relating to the access site.

18. The terminal of claim 16, wherein the site ID of the access site comprises a portion or all of a website address.

19. The terminal of claim 16, wherein the login comprises a login through an initial screen and a login when booting an operating system.

20. The terminal of claim 16, wherein the login comprises a login when returning from a standby screen to a previous user screen.
