Abstract

An authentication method and system with an enhanced security based on eye recognition includes registering eye information extracted from an input image through a pre-registration process; receiving an eye recognition request; verifying whether a web login request associated with login information that is mapped to the eye information is present in response to receiving an eye recognition request; and performing an eye recognition in response to the web login request associated with the login information being verified to be present.

Claims

1. An authentication method at an electronic device comprising a processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions, the authentication method comprising:

registering an eye information extracted from an input image through a pre-registration process;

receiving an eye recognition request;

verifying whether a web login request, associated with a login information that is mapped to the eye information, is present in response to receiving the eye recognition request; and

performing an eye recognition in response to the web login request associated with the login information being verified to be present.

2. The authentication method of claim 1, wherein registering the eye information further comprises mapping the eye information to the login information, and storing the mapped eye information on the electronic device.

3. The authentication method of claim 1, wherein verifying whether the web login request is present further comprises verifying whether the login information corresponds to a second login information associated with a web login request to a server.

4. The authentication method of claim 1, wherein the verifying whether the web login request is present further comprises verifying whether a second login information corresponding to the login information is present among a plurality of second login information that are stored in a standby queue for a login authentication on a server.

5. The authentication method of claim 3, wherein receiving the eye recognition request further comprises:

extracting a second eye information from an image acquired through a camera in response to the login information corresponding to the second login information; and

transmitting, to the server, an eye recognition result acquired by comparing the second eye information to the eye information,

wherein the server is configured to authenticate the web login request associated with the second login information based on the eye recognition result.

6. An authentication method at a server comprising a processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions, the authentication method comprising:

receiving a login request based on an eye recognition and a login information for a webpage associated with the server;

receiving, from an electronic device corresponding to the login information, an eye recognition result performed at the electronic device; and

authenticating a login to the webpage corresponding to the login information based on the eye recognition result.

7. The authentication method of claim 6, further comprising:

storing the login information in a standby queue for a login authentication in response to the login request based on the eye recognition; and

deleting the login information from the standby queue in response to the eye recognition result being received from the electronic device.

8. The authentication method of claim 6, further comprising:

storing the login information in a standby queue for a login authentication in response to the login request based on the eye recognition; and

transmitting, to the electronic device, a result of verifying whether the login information is present in the standby queue in response to a request from the electronic device,

wherein, in response to the login information being verified to be present in the standby queue, the electronic device is configured to perform the eye recognition.

9. An authentication system configured as a computer, the authentication system comprising:

a processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to;

register an eye information extracted from an input image through a pre-registration process;

receive an eye recognition request;

verify whether a web login request associated with a login information that is mapped to the eye information is present in response to receiving an eye recognition request; and

perform an eye recognition in response to the web login request associated with the login information being verified to be present.

10. The authentication system of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to map the eye information to the login information, and to store the mapped eye information.

11. The authentication system of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to verify whether the login information corresponds to a second login information that requests associated with a web login request to a server.

12. The authentication system of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to verify whether a second login information corresponding to the login information is present among a plurality of second login information that are stored in a standby queue for a login authentication on a server.

13. The authentication system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to

extract a second eye information from an image acquired through a camera in response to the login information corresponding to the second login information;

transmit, to the server, an eye recognition result acquired by comparing the second eye information to the eye information,

wherein the server is configured to authenticate the web login request associated with the second login information based on the eye recognition result.

14. An authentication system configured as a computer, the authentication system comprising:

a processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to;

receive a login request based on an eye recognition and a login information associated with a webpage associated with the computer; and

receive, from an electronic device corresponding to the login information, an eye recognition result performed at the electronic device; and

authenticate a login to the webpage corresponding to the login information based on the eye recognition result.

15. The authentication system of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to store the login information in a standby queue for a login authentication in response to the login request based on the eye recognition, and to delete the login information from the standby queue in response to the eye recognition result being received from the electronic device.

16. The authentication system of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to

store the login information in a standby queue for a login authentication in response to the login request based on the eye recognition;

and

transmit, to the electronic device, a result of verifying whether the login information is present in the standby queue in response to a request from the electronic device,

wherein, in response to the login information being verified to be present in the standby queue, the electronic device is configured to perform the eye recognition.
