Method and system for procssing password inputted by the matching of cells

Abstract

A password system is disclosed. A method for authenticating a user in the disclosed password system is described. The password system of the present invention is an advanced password system implemented by a password input method capable of preventing a password from being revealed to others who directly watches a password input procedure. A user interface proper to the above method is provided. The user interface provides at least more than two boards. The cells aligned on two boards are matched through a matching unit provided to a user. At this time, the cells matched for the password input are concurrently matched with the cells adapted to disguise the same, so that a third party person cannot recognize whether which cell is used for a password input.

1 . A password input method by the matching of cells, comprising the steps of: 
 a step in which a matching board and a reference board are displayed on a user interface;    a step in which a user selects a certain cell on the matching board; and    a step in which a certain cell of the matching board selected by the user through a computation is matched with a cell including a password symbol of the reference board.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a cell of the matching board selected by the user is matched with a cell including a password symbol of the reference board, the cell of the matching board that the user does not select is concurrently matched with the cell having the symbol that is not the password symbol of the reference board.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein in order to match a certain cell of the matching board with the cell including the password of the reference board, a computation is performed with respect to the matching board.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein said computation performed with respect to the matching board is a movement of the matching board.  
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the symbols included in the cells of the reference board are displayed in a recovery extraction sequence or a sequence of their sizes.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the cells of the matching board are all different from each other or are all same or a part of the same is different.  
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the cell of the matching board is matched with the cell of the reference board using an input apparatus.  
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein when a computation is performed with respect to the matching board, a cell of the matching board being out of a range of the reference board is rotated and moved.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a completion of the matching between a cell that a user selects from the matching board and a cell including a password symbol of the reference board is informed to a system.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein when a procedure for matching a cell that a user selects from the matching board and a password symbol of the reference board is completed, the cell that the user selects from the matching board is informed to the system.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said step for informing the cell that the user selects from the matching board to the system includes: 
 a step in which at least more than one cell including the special symbol is displayed on the reference board; and    a step in which the cell that the user selects from the matching board is matched with the cell including the special symbol of the reference board.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein when a cell that the user selected from the matching board is matched with a cell including a special symbol of the reference board, the other cells including the special symbols of the reference board do not match with any cell of the matching board.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of reference boards are not overlapped from each other, and at the same time, are displayed on a user interface.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the symbols of the reference board sequentially matched with each cell of the matching board are the candidates of the password for thereby performing a user authentication process.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the symbols of the reference board sequentially matched with the cells of the matching board matched with the cells including the special symbols are grouped and processed as the password.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein when a user selects a cell of the matching symbol, the user selects a certain cell including one password symbol being in his password.  
   
   
       17 . A method for inputting a password by the matching of cells, comprising the steps of: 
 a step in which a matching board and a reference board are displayed on a user interface;    a step in which a computation is performed with respect to the matching board; and    a step in which a user selects a cell of the reference board matching with a cell including a password symbol of the matching board.    
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein a computation performed with respect to the matching board is not shown on a user interface.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein a user transfers a certain signal so that the matching board is not shown on the user interface.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the matching board is disappeared after a certain time is passed after the matching board is shown on the user interface.
