Method of using device motion in a password

摘要

Processing a password in a mobile computing device may be accomplished by sensing movement of the mobile computing device by an accelerometer of the mobile computing device in three dimensional space; capturing first directional motion information representing the movement as at least a portion of an entered password; comparing the entered password to a password previously stored in the mobile computing device, the stored password comprising second captured directional motion information; and allowing access to the mobile computing device by a user when the entered password matches the stored password. The movement of the mobile computing device required for the password may be set by the user during a password training phase of operating the mobile computing device.
