Password entry using 3D image with spatial alignment
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having computer readable instructions stored thereon for authenticating a user of a computing device, the computing device having a memory storing a base image and an overlay image, the base image having a particular base image reference point, and the overlay image comprising a plurality of objects and having a particular overlay image reference point, the instructions, which when executed by a processor direct the computing device to:
- generate a modified base image having the particular base image reference point;
generate a modified overlay image having the plurality of objects and the particular overlay image reference point;
display, on a display, the modified base image overlaid by the modified overlay image;
receive an input for moving one of the modified base image and the modified overlay image;
move the one of the modified base image and the modified overlay image in response to the input; and
in response to alignment of the particular base image reference point with the particular overlay image reference point on the display, indicate positive authentication, the particular base image reference point or the particular overlay image reference point having coordinates in three dimensions.

Abstract
A method of authenticating a user of a computing device is proposed, together with computing device on which the method is implemented. In the method a modified base image is overlaid with a modified overlay image on a display. At least one of the modified base image and modified overlay image is moved by the user. Positive authentication is indicated in response to the base image reference point on the modified base image being aligned, at least one of the base image reference point and the overlay image reference point having coordinates in three dimensions.

8. A method of authenticating a user of a computing device, the computing device having a memory storing a base image and an overlay image, the base image having a particular base image reference point, and the overlay image comprising a plurality of objects and having a particular overlay image reference point, the method comprising:
-
generating a modified base image having the particular base image reference point; generating a modified overlay image having the plurality of objects and having the particular overlay image reference point; displaying, on a display, the modified base image overlaid by the modified overlay image; receiving an input for moving one of the modified base image and the modified overlay image; moving the one of the modified base image and the modified overlay image in response to the input; and in response to alignment of the particular base image reference point with the particular overlay image reference point on the display, indicating positive authentication, the particular base image reference point or the particular overlay image reference point having coordinates in three dimensions. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computing device comprising:
-
a processor; a display; and one or more computer readable media having computer readable instructions stored thereon for authenticating a user of the computing device, the computing device having a memory storing a base image and an overlay image, the base image having a particular base image reference point, and the overlay image comprising a plurality of objects and having a particular overlay image reference point, the instructions, when executed by the processor direct the computing device to;
generate a modified base image having the particular base image reference point;
generate a modified overlay image having the plurality of objects and the particular overlay image reference point;
display, on the display, the modified base image overlaid by the modified overlay image;
receive an input for moving one of the modified base image and the modified overlay image;
move the one of the modified base image and the modified overlay image in response to the input;
assign a security level requirement for authenticating the user; and
in response to alignment of the particular base image reference point with the particular overlay image reference point on the display, indicate positive authentication, the particular base image reference point or the particular overlay image reference point having coordinates in three dimensions. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
