Using game controller movement to authenticate a user

摘要

A gaming console specific input is used authenticate a user. The input is converted to a numeric value, encrypted and sent to a network entity for verification. The input may be a predetermined movement of a game controller. The movement may be detected using an accelerometer in the controller. The conversion may include converting the movement into separate motion vectors and a time vector. Several different types of input may be combined. The input may be used to authenticate the user of a financial application. The encryption may involve public or private key schemes and may use a hash algorithm.
