Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer-readable media for granting access to a component of a computing device in response to receiving input based on a presentation of a plurality of object coordinates on a screen of a remote device. An arrangement of objects that are referenced by a coordinate system are identified. A plurality of object coordinates of the arrangement of objects is provided to the remote device. Input is received that is based on the plurality of object coordinates. When the input provided is accurate based on the arrangement of objects, access is granted to the component of the computing device.

Claims (29)

1. Non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, facilitate a method of granting access to a component of a computing device in response to receiving, from a remote device, input based on a presentation of a plurality of object coordinates on a screen of the remote device, the method comprising:

identifying an arrangement of objects that are referenced by a coordinate system;

providing, to the remote device, a plurality of object coordinates, as defined by the coordinate system, to be presented on the screen of the remote device, wherein each object coordinate of the plurality of object coordinates is based on the arrangement of objects, the arrangement of objects including a dynamic object;

receiving, at the computing device, input that is based on the plurality of object coordinates presented on the screen of the remote device, wherein the input illustrates a location-based relationship between the object coordinates of the plurality of object coordinates and the arrangement of objects and wherein the remote device is a mobile device; and

granting access to the component of the computing device when the input provided is accurate based on the arrangement of objects.

2. The computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the arrangement of objects comprises a presentation of images on a screen of the computing device.

3. The computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is a secured device.

4. The computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the accuracy of the input is assessed based on location-based relationships between the object coordinates of the plurality of object coordinates.

5. The computer-readable media of claim 2 , wherein the presentation of images on the screen of the computing device is dynamic.

6. The computer-readable media of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of object coordinates provided to the remote device are updated based on the dynamic presentation of images on the screen of the computing device.

7. Non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, facilitate a method of granting access to a component of a computing device in response to receiving, from a remote device, input based on a presentation of a plurality of object coordinates on a screen of the remote device, the method comprising:

identifying an arrangement of objects that are referenced by graphical axes of a coordinate system;

providing, to the remote device, a plurality of object coordinates to be presented on the screen of the remote device, wherein each object coordinate of the plurality of object coordinates is based on the arrangement of objects, and wherein each object coordinate is mapped to at least one key of the keyboard, wherein the arrangement of objects includes a dynamic object;

receiving, at the computing device, input that is based on the plurality of object coordinates presented on the screen of the remote device, wherein the input comprises the at least one key associated with each object coordinate of the plurality of object coordinates, wherein the input illustrates a location-based relationship between the object coordinates of the plurality of object coordinates and the arrangement of objects and wherein the remote device is a mobile device; and

granting access to the component of the computing device when the input provided is accurate based on the arrangement of objects.

8. The computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the input comprises graphical coordinates of the objects of the plurality of object coordinates.

9. The computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the component is a login screen.

10. The computer-readable media of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving a second input by way of the remote device, wherein the second input is based on spatial relationships between object coordinates of the plurality of object coordinates as presented on the screen of the remote device; and

granting access to a second component of the computing device when the second input provided is inaccurate based on the arrangement of objects.

11. The computer-readable media of claim 10 , wherein the component is a false login screen.

12. The computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the computing device is a secured device.

13. A method of granting access to a component of a secured device in response to receiving, from a remote device, input based on a presentation of a plurality of object coordinates on a screen of the remote device, the method comprising:

identifying an arrangement of objects that are referenced by graphical axes of a coordinate system;

providing, to the remote device, a plurality of object coordinates to be presented on the screen of the remote device, wherein each object coordinate of the plurality of object coordinates is based on the arrangement of objects, wherein each object coordinate is mapped to at least one key of the keyboard, and wherein the arrangement of objects includes a dynamic object;

receiving, at the secured device, input that is based on the plurality of object coordinates presented on the screen of the remote device, wherein the input comprises the at least one key associated with each object coordinate of the plurality of object coordinates, wherein the input illustrates a location-based relationship between the object coordinates of the plurality of object coordinates and the arrangement of objects and wherein the remote device is a mobile device; and

granting access to the component of the secured device when the input provided is accurate based on the arrangement of objects.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein each graphical indicator of each graphical axis corresponds to the at least one key mapped to the graphical axis.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein each graphical indicator of each graphical axis differs from the at least one key mapped to the graphical axis.
