Method and apparatus for information verification

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for user verification. A terminal device recognizes a sequence of click operations made by the user according to a maneuver prompted on a terminal device. The sequence of click operations carries operation information from which a click pattern characteristic, such as a characteristic code, can be determined. Upon receiving the determined click pattern characteristic, a server verifies the user input by matching the click pattern characteristic with a verification code set or stored by the server. The click pattern characteristic may be based on recognizing clicking or tapping operations performed by the user at a specified time and/or in a designated area. The method enables user verification on devices that lowers the rate of errors in the user input of verification codes.

主权项

1. A method for verifying information, the method comprising:
generating a random challenge code by a server; sending information to a terminal device by the server prompting entry of the random challenge code, the random challenge code including alphanumerical digits for performing a sequence of click operations; recognizing, at the terminal device, the sequence of click operations made by a user on an input device according to the information prompted on the terminal device, the information including corresponding relations between each click operation and each alphanumerical digit of the random challenge code; determining a click pattern characteristic of the sequence of click operations made by the user, the click pattern characteristic comprising at least one of the following features:
a count of clicks in the sequence, a click duration of each click in the sequence, and an order of the clicks in the sequence, and the click pattern characteristic encoded using a coding scheme comprising:
defining at least two ranges of click duration, andassigning an alphanumerical digit to each predefined range of click duration;ordefining at least two ranges of inter-click interval; andassigning an alphanumerical digit to each predefined range of inter-click interval; and verifying the user, at a server, by matching the click pattern characteristic with a verification code set or stored by the server.
