Cognitive-based loon process for computing device
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium tangibly embodying a computer-readable program, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computer or other computing device with internet and/or intranet connectivity causes the computer or other computing device to:
- prompt the user with a set of one or more random cognitive logon variables;
receive input from the user in the form of a response to each variable;
determine the accuracy of each response received from the user;
transform the accurate responses into cognitive logon credentials;
generate data output regarding the accuracy of the user'"'"'s responses and other associated information;
initiate prescribed actions based on the accuracy of the user'"'"'s responses, including instructing the computer system to grant or deny the user access to all or part of the computer system; and
store data in, and retrieve data from, a target storage area.

Abstract
A method of user logon to a computing device or computer system that, distinct from requiring entry of a set of known logon credentials such as a username and password, introduces an additional thought-directed user interface whereby the user must respond to one or more prompts that measure the user'"'"'s cognitive function at the time of logon or during an active logon session. The user'"'"'s responses to these prompts are evaluated for several purposes, including determining whether the user demonstrates the required level of cognitive function to gain access to the computer system or continue an active logon session. The user'"'"'s responses and associated data may also be stored and retrieved at a later time for various purposes, including determining whether and to what extent the user'"'"'s level of cognitive function is improving, diminishing, or remaining static over time.
