CPC Class H04W

A computer-implemented method includes selecting a prompt from a plurality of prompts stored in a prompt database, wherein the prompt comprises instructions to draw a mark, and wherein other prompts of the plurality of prompts comprise instructions to draw other marks different from the mark. The method also includes the steps of providing the prompt to a user as part of a logon process for an online account session, identifying behavioral characteristics of the user while the user draws the mark, comparing the behavioral characteristics to a behavioral profile previously developed based on prior behavioral characteristics of the user, and providing access to the online account session in response to determining that a variation between the behavioral characteristics and the behavioral profile is within a threshold.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a touch display, a pressure sensing circuit, a fingerprint sensor, a processor, and a memory. The memory is configured to store fingerprint data associated with a plurality of reference fingerprints. The processor is configured to, when pressure is applied by the finger in the fingerprint sensing area, receive first data associated with the pressure from the pressure sensing circuit and receive second data associated with the fingerprint of the finger from the fingerprint sensor, identify a selected function corresponding to the second data based on comparing result of the second data and the reference fingerprint data, and execute the selected function.

A method for authentication based on image location and image analysis, comprises: identifying a request of a user to access a resource; determining a location and view point of a device; selecting, based on the location and the view point, at least one three-dimensional model, geometrically mapping objects around the location; capturing an image at the location by a camera of the device; presenting the image on a display of the device; identifying in the at least one first image a set of objects corresponding to a plurality of user selections made by the user with reference to the image when the image is presented on the display; performing a match between the set of objects and a predefined set of objects in the three-dimensional model using the three-dimensional model and the view point; and authenticating the request based on an outcome of the match.

A mobile communication system based on images, enabling communication between a plurality of mobile devices and servers, wherein the images have associated additional properties in the nature of voice, audio, data and other information. The system further enabling the formation of one or more image networks wherein the images are stored, organized, connected and linked to each other by one or more methods inclusive of one to one connection between images, a hierarchical connection between images and or other methods of connection between images to facilitate efficient image based communication between mobile devices, stationary devices and servers based on the mobile device identification, mobile device specific profiles and user specific profiles. The imaged base network system further having the ability to learn and form intelligent association between objects, people and other entities; between images and the associated data relating to both animate and inanimate entities for intelligent image based communication in a network.
