Abstract

Systems and methods for generating a secure locking interface on a touch-screen display of a computing device are disclosed. The system comprises a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, cause the processor to perform operations comprising associating a first attribute and a second attribute to at least one alphanumeric code upon receiving an authentication request for authenticating a user. The first attribute and the second attribute include at least one of colors, shapes, special characters, and images. Further, the operations comprise rendering an alphanumeric interface to the touch-screen display. The alphanumeric interface has the at least one alphanumeric code with the first attribute and the second attribute associated. Further, the operations comprise rendering a keypad interface to the touch-screen display, wherein the keypad interface has an input key for each of the first attribute and the second attribute.

Claims

1. A method for generating a secure locking interface on a touch-screen display, the method comprising:

associating, by a touch screen management computing device, a first attribute and a second attribute to at least one alphanumeric code upon receiving an authentication request for authenticating a user, wherein the first attribute is a color and the second attribute is a shape, the associating comprising randomly selecting the color from a plurality of colors and the shape from a plurality of shapes for each authorization request;

rendering, by the touch screen management computing device, an alphanumeric display, to the touch-screen display, wherein the alphanumeric display is a non-input display that displays the at least one alphanumeric code with the first attribute and the second attribute associated; and

rendering, by the touch screen management computing device, a keypad interface, to the touch-screen display, wherein the keypad interface has an input key for each of the first attribute and the second attribute, and wherein the keypad interface is rendered separate from the alphanumeric display.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

obtaining, by the touch screen management computing device, a user input

through the input key, wherein the user input indicates a selection of the first attribute and the second attribute by the user;

determining, by the touch screen management computing device, an input alphanumeric code corresponding to a combination of the first attribute and the second attribute based on the user input; and

authenticating, by the touch screen management computing device, the user based on the input alphanumeric code.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the at least one alphanumeric code has a unique combination of the first attributes and the second attribute.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein one or more alphanumeric codes of the at least one alphanumeric code have a same combination of the first attribute and the second attribute, wherein a sequence of the first attribute and the second attribute is different for each of the or more alphanumeric codes.

5. A touch screen management computing device, comprising:

a processor coupled to a memory and configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory, comprising;

associating a first attribute and a second attribute to at least one alphanumeric code upon receiving an authentication request for authenticating a user, wherein the first attribute is a color and the second attribute is a shape, the associating comprising randomly selecting the color from a plurality of colors and the shape from a plurality of shapes for each authorization request;

rendering an alphanumeric display, to a touch-screen display, wherein the alphanumeric display is a non-input display that displays the at least one alphanumeric code with the first attribute and the second attribute associated; and

rendering a keypad interface, to the touch-screen display, wherein the keypad interface has an input key for each of the first attribute and the second attribute, and wherein the keypad interface is rendered separate from the alphanumeric display.

6. The device of claim 5, wherein the processor is further configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory further comprising:

obtaining a user input through the input key, wherein the user input indicates a selection of the first attribute and the second attribute by the user;

determining an input alphanumeric code corresponding to a combination of the first attribute and the second attribute based on the user input; and

authenticating the user based on the input alphanumeric code.

7. The device of claim 5, wherein each of the at least one alphanumeric code has a unique combination of the first attributes and the second attribute.

8. The device of claim 5, wherein one or more alphanumeric codes of the at least one alphanumeric code have a same combination of the first attribute and the second attribute, wherein a sequence of the first attribute and the second attribute is different for each of the or more alphanumeric codes.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for generating a secure locking interface on a touch-screen display comprising machine executable code which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

associating a first attribute and a second attribute to at least one alphanumeric code upon receiving an authentication request for authenticating a user, wherein the first attribute is a color and the second attribute is a shape, the associating comprising randomly selecting the color from a plurality of colors and the shape from a plurality of shapes for each authorization request;

rendering an alphanumeric display, to the touch-screen display, wherein the alphanumeric display is a non-input display that displays the at least one alphanumeric code with the first attribute and the second attribute associated; and

rendering a keypad interface, to the touch-screen display, wherein the keypad interface has an input key for each of the first attribute and the second attribute, and wherein the keypad interface is rendered separate from the alphanumeric display.

10. The medium of claim 9, wherein the medium further comprises machine executable code which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform steps further comprising:

obtaining a user input through the input key, wherein the user input indicates a selection of the first attribute and the second attribute by the user;

determining an input alphanumeric code corresponding to a combination of the first attribute and the second attribute based on the user input; and

authenticating the user based on the input alphanumeric code.

11. The medium of claim 9, wherein each of the at least one alphanumeric code has a unique combination of the first attributes and the second attribute.

12. The medium of claim 9, wherein one or more alphanumeric codes of the at least one alphanumeric code have a same combination of the first attribute and the second attribute, wherein a sequence of the first attribute and the second attribute is different for each of the or more alphanumeric codes.
