Method And Computer Program Product For Providing Authentication To Control Access To A Computer System Using Interaction With An Output

Abstract

A system and method for authentication to control access to a computer system includes receiving a first input from a measuring device formed as part of a mobile computing and/or communication device, and comparing the first input to a previously measured and recorded input. If the first input is equivalent to the previously measured and recorded input, an output may be created on the mobile device, which may be in the form of displaying dynamic images or playing audible sounds. At any moment in time during the output, a second input may be made and compared so that, if the second input occurs at a time equivalent to a predetermined time in the output, access to the second computer system is permitted.

1 . A method of providing authentication to control access to a computer system comprising the steps:
 using at least one data capture device of a computing device to capture first data;   identifying a matching object in the first data;   testing the matching object against at least one first standard to determine a first match;   upon successfully determining the first match, displaying, on a display portion of said computing device, second data being captured by the data capture device, the second data including the matching object;   creating one or more dynamic images and displaying the one or more dynamic images superimposed on the second data being captured by the data capture device and displayed;   recording an interaction between the matching object and the one or more dynamic images to determine a second match;   testing the recording against a stored recording to determine a second match; and   allowing or denying access on the basis of said first and second matches.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said computing device comprises a mobile computing and/or communication device. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said dynamic images superimposed on the second data being captured by the data capture device are advertisements. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said second data is a video. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said matching object is a biometric object. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 3 , wherein a user of said computer device is rewarded for using said authentication method. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein said user authorises information about the computer systems the use of said authentication method provides access to be fed back to a third party. 
     
     
         8 . A computer product comprising a processor and non-transient memory, the processor being configured to execute a program stored in the non-transient memory and transmitted on a data carrier to provide authentication to control access to a computer system, comprising:
 first computer code for using at least one data capture device of a computing device to capture first data;   second computer code for identifying a matching object in the first data;   third computer code for testing the matching object against at least one first standard to determine a first match;   fourth computer code for, upon successfully determining the first match, displaying, on a display portion of said computing device, second data being captured by the data capture device, the second data including the matching object;   fifth computer code for creating one or more dynamic images and displaying the one or more dynamic images superimposed on the second data being captured by the data capture device and displayed;   sixth computer code for recording an interaction between the matching object and the one or more dynamic images to determine a second match;   seventh computer code for testing the recording against a stored recording to determine a second match; and   eighth computer code for allowing or denying access on the basis of said first and second matches.   
     
     
         9 . A method of providing authentication to control access, comprising the steps:
 using at least one data capture device of a computing device to capture first data;   identifying a matching object in the first data;   testing the matching object against at least one first standard to determine a first match;   upon successfully determining the first match, displaying, on a display portion of said computing device, second data being captured by the data capture device, the second data including the matching object;   creating one or more dynamic images and displaying the one or more dynamic images superimposed on the second data being captured by the data capture device and displayed;   recording an interaction between the matching object and the one or more dynamic images to determine a second match, the interaction modifying at least one property of the one or more dynamic images superimposed on the second data;   testing the interaction against a stored interaction to determine a second match; and   allowing or denying access on the basis of said first and second matches,   the control access controls access to one or more functions in a computer application implemented by the computer product.   
     
     
         10 . A computer product comprising a processor and non-transient memory, the processor being configured to execute a program stored in the non-transient memory and transmitted on a data carrier to provide authentication to control access, the program comprising:
 first computer code for using at least one data capture device of a computing device to capture first data;   second computer code for identifying a matching object in the first data;   third computer code for testing the matching object against at least one first standard to determine a first match;   fourth computer code for, upon successfully determining the first match, displaying, on a display portion of said computing device, second data being captured by the data capture device, the second data including the matching object;   fifth computer code for creating one or more dynamic images and displaying the one or more dynamic images superimposed on the second data being captured by the data capture device and displayed;   sixth computer code for recording an interaction between the matching object and the one or more dynamic images to determine a second match, the interaction modifying at least one property of the one or more dynamic images superimposed on the second data;   seventh computer code for testing the interaction against a stored interaction to determine a second match; and   eighth computer code for allowing or denying access on the basis of said first and second matches,   wherein the control access controls access to one or more functions in a computer application implemented by the computer product.
