Dynamic handwriting verification and handwriting-based user authentication
First Claim
1. A handwriting verification method executed in a computer system, the method comprising:
- obtaining a test sample and a reference sample each containing a plurality of feature points, wherein each of the feature points includes;
(i) geometric features including an x-coordinate value and a y-coordinate value, and(ii) a non-geometric feature;
finding mappings between feature points of the test sample and feature points of the reference sample based on the geometric features of the test sample and reference sample, wherein the finding mappings comprises finding mappings between one or more of evenly distributed feature points in the test sample and one or more evenly distributed feature points in the reference sample; and
after the finding mappings, comparing the non-geometric features of each of the mapped feature points of the test sample and the reference sample.

Abstract
Handwriting verification methods and related computer systems, and handwriting-based user authentication methods and related computer systems are disclosed. A handwriting verification method comprises obtaining a handwriting test sample containing a plurality of available parameters, extracting geometric parameters, deriving geometric features comprising an x-position value and a y-position value for each of a plurality of feature points in the test sample, performing feature matching between geometric features of the test sample and a reference sample, determining a handwriting verification result based at least in part on the feature matching, and outputting the handwriting verification result. The geometric features may further comprise values derived from the geometric parameters, such as direction and curvature values. The handwriting verification result can be further based on a count of unlinked feature points. Handwriting-based user authentication methods can employ such handwriting verification methods, or other handwriting verification methods.
