Method and system for verification of human presence at a mobile device

Abstract

A method and system is provided for verifying human presence at a mobile device. The method includes receiving a request for verification. Further, the method includes sending a Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) challenge to the mobile device. Further, the method includes receiving a response to the CAPTCHA challenge. Finally, the method includes verifying the human presence by matching the response received to the CAPTCHA challenge sent.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for verification of human presence at a communication device, the method comprising:
 receiving a request for verification;   sending a Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) challenge to the communication device;   receiving a response to the CAPTCHA challenge; and   verifying the human presence by matching the response received to the CAPTCHA challenge sent.   
     
     
         2 . The method recited in  claim 1 , wherein sending the CAPTCHA challenge comprises generating the CAPTCHA challenge. 
     
     
         3 . The method recited in  claim 1 , wherein the CAPTCHA challenge is generated by a third party server. 
     
     
         4 . The method recited in  claim 1 , wherein the CAPTCHA challenge is sent via a multi-media message (MMS), a SMS, a voice call, an Email, and a video call. 
     
     
         5 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the CAPTCHA challenge is one or more of an image, a video, a question, a motion, an interaction, an audio and a vibration. 
     
     
         6 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the response is one or more of a text, a voice, a motion and an interaction. 
     
     
         7 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the communication device is one of a desktop, a laptop, a mobile phone, a tablet PC, a netbook, an e-book reader and a PDA. 
     
     
         8 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the request for verification is received over internet. 
     
     
         9 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the request for verification is received from a web server. 
     
     
         10 . A system for verification of human presence at a communication device, the system comprising:
 a request reception module for receiving a request for verification;   a code module for sending a Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) challenge to the communication device;   a response reception module for receiving a response to the CAPTCHA challenge; and   a verification module for verifying the human presence by matching the response received to the CAPTCHA challenge sent.   
     
     
         11 . The system recited in  claim 1 , wherein the code module comprises a code generation module for generating the CAPTCHA challenge. 
     
     
         12 . The system recited in  claim 1 , wherein the code module comprises a code reception module for sending the CAPTCHA challenge generated by a third party server. 
     
     
         13 . The system recited in  claim 1 , wherein the code module is capable of sending the CAPTCHA challenge via a multi-media message (MMS), a SMS, a voice call, an Email and a video call. 
     
     
         14 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the CAPTCHA challenge is one or more of an image, a video, a question, a motion, an interaction, an audio and a vibration. 
     
     
         15 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the response reception module is capable of receiving the response via one or more of a text, a voice, a motion and an interaction. 
     
     
         16 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the communication device is one of a desktop, a laptop, a mobile phone, a tablet PC, a netbook, an e-book reader and a PDA.
