Abstract

A password processing method is provided. According to an embodiment, an object is displayed, and moved in at least one direction according to the user'"'"'s motion. The password is processed in accordance with a combination of motions of the object in the at least one direction.

Claims

1. A method of processing a password, comprising:

displaying an object;

moving the object in at least one direction according to user'"'"'s motion; and

generating a password according to a combination of motions of the object in the at least one direction.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the motions of the object comprise at least one of rotation and displacement.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the generation of the password comprises:

generating the password according to a time period of the motions of the object.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the user'"'"'s motion comprises at least one of touch, stroke, and gesture.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the display of the object comprises:

combining the object with actual image data; and

displaying the combined image.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the display of the combined image comprises:

displaying a hand shape that is either a graphical image or an actual image.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein a user does not touch a screen displaying the object.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the object comprises at least one of a triangle, a tetragon, a hexagon, a circle, a star, a hexahedron, a tetrahedron, an octahedron, and a sphere.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the generation of the password comprises:

coding information on the motions of the object that is accumulated in sequence.

10. A computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform the method of claim 1.

11. A device of processing information, the device comprising:

a display unit configured to display an object; and

a processing unit configured to move the object in at least one direction according to user'"'"'s motion, and to generate a password according to a combination of motions of the object in the at least one direction.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the motions of the object comprise at least one of rotation and displacement.

13. The device of claim 11, wherein the processing unit is further configured to generate the password according to a time period of the motions of the object.

14. The device of claim 11, wherein the user'"'"'s motion comprises at least one of touch, stroke, and gesture.

15. The device of claim 11, wherein the processing unit is further configured to combine the object with actual image data, and to display the combined image.

16. The device of claim 15, wherein the processing unit is further configured to display a hand shape that is either a graphical image or an actual image.

17. The device of claim 11, wherein a user does not touch a screen displaying the object.

18. The device of claim 11, wherein the object comprises at least one of a triangle, a tetragon, a hexagon, a circle, a star, a hexahedron, a tetrahedron, an octahedron, and a sphere.

19. The device of claim 11, wherein the processing unit is further configured to code information on the motions of the object that is accumulated in sequence.
