LOGIN METHOD BASED ON DIRECTION OF GAZE
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having computer readable instructions stored thereon for user authentication at a computing device, the instructions when executed by a processor direct the computing device to:
- display a plurality of objects on a display screen, the plurality of objects comprising objects that are part of a passcode, the passcode comprising a plurality of objects;
generate a plurality of trigger signals at set intervals;
in response to each trigger signal, cause an image sensor to capture an image;
analyse each image to,determine a direction of gaze;
determine the object on the display screen that corresponds to the direction of gaze; and
determine whether the object that corresponds to the direction of the gaze matches an object in the passcode; and
after the images have been analysed, determine if a threshold for matches has been exceeded and if the threshold has been exceeded indicate positive authentication.

Abstract
A method of authenticating a user of a computing device is proposed, together with computing device on which the method is implemented. A plurality of objects is displayed on a display screen. The plurality of objects includes at least objects that make up a plurality of objects of the user'"'"'s passcode. In response to a trigger signal an image of the user'"'"'s face is captured while looking at one of the objects on the display screen. A determination of which object is in the direction of the user'"'"'s gaze is made from the image and whether or not the gaze is on an object which is part of the passcode. A plurality of trigger signals may be generated to capture a plurality of images.

10. A method of user authentication at a computing device, the method comprising:
-
displaying a plurality of objects on a display screen, the plurality of objects comprising objects that are part of a passcode, the passcode comprising a plurality of objects; generating a plurality of trigger signals at set intervals; in response to each trigger signal, causing an image sensor to capture an image; analysing each image to, determine a direction of gaze; determine the object on the display screen that corresponds to the direction of gaze; and determine whether the object that corresponds to the direction of the gaze matches an object in the passcode; and after the images have been analysed, determining if a threshold for matches has been exceeded and if the threshold has been exceeded indicating positive authentication. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computing device comprising:
-
a processor; a display; an image sensor; an input interface; and one or more computer readable media having computer readable instructions stored thereon for user authentication at the computing device, the instructions when executed by a processor direct the computing device to; display a plurality of objects on a display screen, the plurality of objects comprising objects that are part of a passcode, the passcode comprising a plurality of objects; generate a plurality of trigger signals at set intervals; in response to each trigger signal, cause an image sensor to capture an image; analyse each image to, determine a direction of gaze; determine the object on the display screen that corresponds to the direction of gaze; and determine whether the object that corresponds to the direction of the gaze matches an object in the passcode; and after the images have been analysed, determine if a threshold for matches has been exceeded and if the threshold has been exceeded indicate positive authentication. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
