Abstract

To provide an authentication technology acquiring high security with a simple configuration. In an information processing device utilizing a user's input operation for authentication, an input frame is displayed to the user, the user is prompted to input a keyword to within the input frame, a magnitude of the input by the user is judged, and the inputted keyword is judged, results of the judgments are used as authentication information for the authentication. A magnitude of the input may be a size of the input frame and a size of a character, which are designated by the user.

Claims (37)

1. An information processing device utilizing a user's input operation for authentication, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to operate in accordance with executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform:

generating a plurality of input frame data having different sizes, the input frame data prompting the user to input a keyword;

judging a magnitude of the input by the user, the magnitude defined with a size of the input frame designated by the user from the input frames having different sizes;

judging the inputted keyword; and

judging a position of the input frame inputted by the user, the position of the input frame judged by coordinates of the input frame,

wherein results of the judgments are used as authentication information for the authentication.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to operate in accordance with executable instructions that, when executed, further cause the processor to perform conducting the authentication on the basis of the authentication information.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to operate in accordance with executable instructions that, when executed, further cause the processor to perform transmitting the authentication information to an authentication device, the authentication device conducting the authentication on the basis of the authentication information.

4. An information processing device setting a user's input operation used for authentication, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to operate in accordance with executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform:

setting a keyword used when authenticating;

setting a position of an input frame used when authenticating, the position of the input frame defined by coordinates of the input frame; and

setting a magnitude of the input used when authenticating, the magnitude defined with a size of the input frame designated by the user from the input frames having different sizes.

5. An authentication method of utilizing a user's input operation for authentication, comprising:

displaying a plurality of input frames having different sizes;

prompting the user to input a keyword to within the input frame;

judging a magnitude of the input by the user, the magnitude defined with a size of the input frame designated by the user from the input frames having different sizes;

judging the inputted keyword; and

judging a position of the input frame inputted by the user, the position of the input frame judged by coordinates of the input frame,

wherein results of the judgments are used as authentication information for the authentication.

6. An authentication setting method, of setting a user's input operation used for authentication, executed in a computer, comprising:

setting, using a processor in the computer, a keyword used when authenticating;

setting, using the processor, a position of an input frame when authenticating, the position of the input frame defined by coordinates of the input frame; and

setting, using the processor, a magnitude of the input used when authenticating, the magnitude defined with a size of an input frame designated by the user from the input frames having different sizes.

7. A computer readable, non-transitory medium recorded with a program making a computer utilizing a user's input operation for authentication, execute:

generating a plurality of input frame data having different sizes, the input frame data prompting the user to input a keyword;

judging a magnitude of the input by the user, the magnitude defined with a size of the input frame designated by the user from the input frames having different sizes;

judging the inputted keyword; and

judging a position of the input frame inputted by the user, the position of the input frame judged by coordinates of the input frame,

wherein results of the judgments are used as authentication information for the authentication.

8. A computer readable, non-transitory medium recorded with a program making a computer setting a user's input operation used for authentication, execute:

setting a keyword used when authenticating;

setting a position of an input frame used when authenticating, the position of the input frame defined by coordinates of the input frame; and

setting a magnitude of the input used when authenticating, the magnitude defined with a size of the input frame designated by the user from the input frames having different sizes.
