Abstract

A method for user passcode authentication. The method includes accessing a user information database with predefined user input option parameters and generating a random arrangement of input options from the predefined user input option parameters. The method includes manifesting the random arrangement of input options on an interactive display interface and receiving a selection of the interactive display interface input options. The method also includes comparing the received selection of interactive display interface options to the predefined user input option parameters.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for user passcode authentication, comprising:
 accessing a user information database comprising predefined user input option parameters;   generating a random arrangement of input options comprising the predefined user input option parameters;   manifesting the random arrangement of input options on an interactive display interface;   receiving a selection of the interactive display interface input options; and   comparing the received selection of interactive display interface options to the predefined user input option parameters.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein:
 the input option parameters comprise a plurality of variable properties. 
 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of variable properties comprise at least one of a group comprising: numbers, characters, symbols, colors, patterns, sounds, textures, topology, location, orientation, or relative position with respect to the interface. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein each property is assigned a property interface representation. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein each property is assigned a system interpretation value. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the properties are organized into property sets. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein each property set is assigned a set identifier. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising randomly shuffling the input options after comparing the received selection of interactive display interface options to the predefined user input option parameters. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the predefined user input parameters is static. 
     
     
         10 . A method for user passcode creation comprising:
 receiving a selected passcode comprising an arrangement of inputs comprising two or more different properties from a group comprising numbers, characters, symbols, colors, patterns, sounds, textures, topology, location, orientation, or relative position with respect to the interface, the passcode being received on a user interface; and   storing the selected passcode in a user database.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 ,
 wherein the input properties are arranged with respect to a plurality of keys, each key comprising at least two different properties.   
     
     
         12 . The Method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 re-associating the input properties such that none of the properties previously associated as a group with any key remain as a group in their new association;   receiving a second arrangement of selected properties from the re-associated keys; and   comparing the selected passcode properties to the second arrangement of selected properties.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein a set identifier of each property is stored as a property pattern with the passcode. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein each property is assigned a system interpretation value. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the properties are organized into property sets. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein each property set is assigned a set identifier. 
     
     
         17 . A system for passcode validation comprising:
 a user interface display comprising a plurality of keys, each key comprising at least two different dynamic property options;   a database in communication with the user interface, the database configured to receive selected property option information from the user interface display, and the database configured to send variable property option information to the user interface display.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the at least two different dynamic property options comprise at least two options from a group comprising numbers, characters, symbols, colors, patterns, sounds, textures, topology, location, orientation, or relative position with respect to the interface. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the database sends variable arrangements of the at least two different dynamic property options after the database has received a selected property option information from the user interface display. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 17 , further comprising an operating system to select at least one random property option from the database and transmit the at least one random property option to the user interface display.
