First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of generating a graphical password, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining from a user input device when a user has selected a grid data point of a two dimensional grid mapped to the input device;
determining a value associated with a haptic input state when the grid point has been selected;
generating a tuple comprising coordinates associated with the two dimensional grid and the value associated with the haptic input state; and
generating a password from more than one generated tuple.

Abstract
A system and method of generating a graphical password is provided. User input into from input device is acquired based upon a grid point of a two dimensional grid mapped to the input device. A haptic input state of a haptic input device is acquired when the grid point when selected by the user. A tuple is generated based upon positional coordinates of the input device at the grid point and a value associated with the haptic input state of the haptic input device. A password can then be generated comprising multiple tuples.

12. A graphical password system comprising:
-
a graphical input device defining an input grid with defined data entry points; a haptic input device mapped to user entry in the graphical input device for generating a value for a haptic input characteristic; a haptic input analysis module for determining when a user contacts one of the defined data entry points and for generating a tuple comprising coordinates of the data entry point and a value associated with the state of the haptic input device at that particular data entry point; and a password module for generating a password comprising more than one of the generated tuples. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
