Decoding information to allow access to computerized systems
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- decoding, using a processor, machine-readable information encoded in each of a plurality of physical objects, wherein each instance of machine-readable information includes identifying information;
determining, using the processor, an order in which the encoded physical objects are presented for evaluation via the identifying information; and
comparing, using the processor, the order to a predetermined sequence to determine whether to allow access to a computerized system.

Abstract
The presently claimed invention relates generally to gaining access to secure systems. One claim recites an apparatus including: an image or video sensor for capturing image or video data; and a multi-purpose computer processor configured to: decode machine-readable information encoded in captured image or video data representing a plurality of physical objects, each instance of machine-readable information includes identifying information; determine an order in which the physical objects are presented to the image or video sensor for evaluation via the identifying information; and comparing the order to a predetermined sequence to determine whether to allow access to a remotely located computerized system. The apparatus may be housed, e.g., in a cell phone. Other combinations and claims are provided as well.
