Abstract

A system and method for determining whether a user of a computer is a human, comprising: generating dynamic request code asking the user for information; sending the dynamic request code to the computer; receiving validation code as an answer to the dynamic request code; and determining whether or not the validation code was generated by a human.

Claims

1. A computerized method of determining whether a user of a computer is a human, comprising:

generating dynamic request code asking the user for information;

sending the dynamic request code to the computer;

receiving validation code as an answer to the dynamic request code; and

determining whether or not the validation code was generated by a human.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein a validation badge is sent with the validation code.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the information requested by the dynamic request code relates to a transparent pane display.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the information requested by the dynamic request code relates to mouse movement.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the information requested by the dynamic request code relates to browser activity.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the information requested by the dynamic request code relates to steal click information.

7. A system for determining whether a user of a computer is a human, comprising a computer with an application for:

generating dynamic request code asking the user for information;

sending the dynamic request code to the computer;

receiving validation code as an answer to the dynamic request code; and

determining whether or not the validation code was generated by a human.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein a validation badge is sent with the validation code.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the information requested by the dynamic request code relates to a transparent pane display.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the information requested by the dynamic request code relates to mouse movement.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein the information requested by the dynamic request code relates to browser activity.

12. The system of claim 7, wherein the information requested by the dynamic request code relates to steal click information.
