PASSWORD PROCESSING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method to process a password, the method comprising:
- controlling, by a processor, a display to display one or more computer-generated objects;
receiving, by the processor, input effective to select a particular computer-generated object from amongst the displayed one or more computer-generated objects;
receiving, by the processor, input corresponding to a plurality of detected motions, the plurality of detected motions being effective to move and rotate the particular computer-generated object on the display in at least one direction in accordance with the plurality of detected motions, each of the detected motions having a corresponding time period of a plurality of time periods; and
authenticating a user based on the password, which corresponds to the plurality of detected motions and the plurality of time periods, wherein authenticating the user includes indicating an authentication failure when the plurality of detected motions is different from an expected input or any corresponding time period of the plurality of time periods is outside of an allowable time range.

Abstract
A device to process information is provided. According to an embodiment, a display unit is configured to display computer-generated objects. A processor is configured to receive selection input effective to select a particular computer-generated object from amongst the computer-generated objects. Manipulation input corresponding to detected motions is received. The particular computer-generated object is moved and rotated in its entirety in response to the manipulation input and in accordance with the detected motions. Each of the detected motions has a corresponding time period. A password is generated using the detected motions and the time periods. A user is authenticated by use of the generated password and an identified unrevealed authentication. The authentication of the user includes an indication of an authentication failure when the detected motions are different from an expected input and any of the corresponding time periods are outside of an allowable time range.

12. A method to process a password, the method comprising:
-
controlling, by a processor, a display to display one or more computer-generated objects; receiving, by the processor, input effective to select a particular computer-generated object from amongst the displayed one or more computer-generated objects; receiving, by the processor, input corresponding to a plurality of detected motions, the plurality of detected motions being effective to move the particular computer-generated object on the display in at least one direction in accordance with the plurality of detected motions, each of the detected motions having a corresponding time period; and generating, by the processor, the password using the plurality of detected motions and their corresponding time period, wherein an authentication failure based on the password occurs when the plurality of detected motions is different from an expected input or any corresponding time period is outside of an allowable time range. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
