System for and method of web signature recognition system based on object map
First Claim
1. A method of validating an identity of a user using a pointing device comprising the steps of:
- providing data for the display of a background image, the background image providing a user with visual reference points to help the user to remember and create their signature,providing data for positioning at least one object on said background image,receiving a sampled pointing device (PD) signature including a set of position vectors, said PD signature generated by sampling a plurality of events corresponding to positions of a cursor while operating said pointing device to provide data relative to said background image,comparing said sampled PD signature to a stored PD signature representing the identity of the user, andvalidating said identity of said user in response to said comparing step.

Abstract
The present invention includes a system and a method of validating an identity of a user using a pointing device by comparing a sampled mouse signature with an authenticated mouse signature. The method includes presenting a virtual pad including a background graphic image, a plurality of objects positioned on the background graphic image to a user. The user moves the pointing device to manipulate a cursor on the background graphic image. The method includes a step of sampling a plurality of events corresponding to positions of the cursor to provide a sampled mouse signature including a set of position vectors. The present invention includes comparing the sampled mouse signature to a stored mouse signature representing the identity of a user, and validating the identity of a user in response to the comparing step.

20. A software stored on a computer readable medium for validating a user'"'"'s identity comprising software configured to perform the steps of:
-
providing data for the display of an object map to a user; receiving data representing signature characteristics generated by processing a set of position vectors resulting from user manipulation of a cursor to draw lines or reposition or click on one or more icons positioned on a background image, the background image providing the user with visual reference points to help the user remember and create their signature, using an input device to provide a sample of a plurality of events corresponding to positions of said cursor so as to further provide a sampled signature including said set of position vectors; comparing said signature characteristics to characteristics of a stored signature representing the user'"'"'s identity; validating said user'"'"'s identity in response to said comparing step. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A verification server for use in a signature recognition system including a user computer system having a pointing device and a display screen, the user computer system operational to (i) display a virtual pad on said display screen, (ii) respond to a positioning of said pointing device to position a cursor on said virtual pad, and (iii) provide a collection of vectors describing an operation of said pointing device with respect to said cursor;
- said verification server comprising;
an interface in communication with said user computer system for receiving said collection of vectors associated with drawing lines or the reposition or click on one or more icon positioned on a background image, the background image providing the user with visual reference points to help the user remember and create their signature, a signature recognition engine configured to (i) process said vectors, (ii) compare said processed vectors to exemplar signature data and, in response, (iii) provide signature recognition data. - View Dependent Claims (27)
