Technical Field

The invention relates to a password verification device and an electronic device.

Background

Generally, when using an automatic teller machine (CD) or an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM), a password is input to perform user authentication. In inputting such a password, it is often required to input a plurality of digits using a numeric keypad in which the digits of 0 to 9 are arranged in a matrix. If the arrangement of the numeric keypad is fixed, there is a problem that other people easily presume (deduce) the password from the movement of the finger or hand of the user (operator).

In order to solve this problem, a method has been proposed in which a numeric keypad is displayed on a display screen formed of a touch panel or the like, and the key arrangement of the numeric keypad is changed at random for a predetermined time.

Disclosure of Invention

Even if the key arrangement of the numeric keypad (input key group) is changed at random as in the above proposed method, in the case where another person peeps the display screen, the person can easily identify the key selected by the user and steal the password.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to prevent a password from being easily inferred by another person even if a display screen displaying an input key group is viewed by another person.

A password authentication device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a display device, a display control unit, an input operation unit, a line-of-sight detection unit, an operation target specification unit, a password acquisition unit, and a password authentication unit.

The display device has a display screen. The display control unit causes the display screen to display a plurality of input key groups formed of a plurality of soft keys for inputting a password for user authentication. The input operation unit is provided at a place different from the plurality of input key groups, and is configured to allow a user to select a soft key on the display screen by an operation to input a password. The sight line detection unit detects a sight line direction of a user who performs an operation of the input operation unit. The operation object specifying unit specifies an input key group to which a user points his/her sight line based on the sight line direction detected by the sight line detecting unit. The password acquisition unit acquires the password input by the input operation unit by recognizing that the operation in the input operation unit is an operation on the input key group specified by the operation target specifying unit. The password authentication unit performs authentication of the password acquired by the password acquisition unit.

An electronic device according to another aspect of the present invention includes the above-described password authentication device.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

EXAMPLE 1

Fig. 1 is an external view showing an example of an electronic device 1 including a password authentication apparatus 100 according to an embodiment. The electronic device 1 is an automated teller machine (hereinafter, referred to as an ATM) installed in a financial institution or the like for performing a transaction involving cash such as a deposit transaction or a withdrawal transaction with a customer. The electronic device 1 is not limited to the ATM, and may be, for example, a mobile terminal or an image forming apparatus.

The ATM includes a main body 2 having a rectangular box shape in appearance, and a receiving unit 3 extending upward from a rear end of the main body 2. A card slot 4 for inserting a debit card and a passbook insertion slot 5 for inserting a passbook are arranged on the front side surface of the receiving unit 3. A mirror 6 for illuminating a person standing behind a user (operator) is provided on the upper side of the passbook insertion slot 5. A depositing and dispensing port 7 for depositing and dispensing banknotes, a display screen 101 constituting a part of the password verification apparatus 100, a touch panel 102, and a line-of-sight detection sensor 103 are provided on the upper surface of the main body 2.

[ constitution of password authentication device ]

As shown in fig. 2, the password authentication apparatus 100 includes a control unit 104 and a storage unit 105 in addition to the display screen 101, the touch panel 102, and the line-of-sight detection sensor 103.

The display screen 101 is a part of a display device 106 integrated in the main body 2. When the user is requested to input the password, the display screen displays numeric keypads T1 to T3 as shown in fig. 3. Each of the numeric keypads T1 to T3 is formed by a plurality of soft keys into which numerals "0" to "9" and signs such as "+", "#" can be input, respectively. The numeric keypads T1 to T3 correspond to the input key groups, respectively.

In addition to the 3-digit keypad, information 101a prompting the input of a password and an input box 101b are displayed on the display screen 101. Characters of the password are hidden and displayed on the input box. The image displayed on the display screen 101 is controlled by a control unit 104 described later.

The touch panel 102 has a known structure including a capacitive touch sensor. The touch panel 102 is provided in a front area (lower side in fig. 3) of the display screen 101. The touch panel 102 has a touch surface 102a exposed from the upper surface of the main body 2 of the ATM.

The operation of the touch surface 102a is roughly classified into two types, i.e., a finger movement operation and a finger pressing operation. The movement operation is an operation of moving a finger while making contact with the touch surface 102a to select a desired soft key. The pressing operation is an operation for confirming the selection by pressing the touch surface 102a with a finger. When the user selects any of the soft keys on the display screen 101 by a finger movement operation, the user performs a pressing operation to input a character corresponding to the selected soft key. In addition, the periphery of the touch pad 102 is preferably surrounded by an opaque covering in the form of an elongated strip. Therefore, the track of the finger on the touch control surface 102a is not easy to be found by other people, and the password can be prevented from being stolen.

The line-of-sight detection sensor 103 is provided between the display screen 101 and the touch panel 102. The line-of-sight detection sensor 103 includes, for example, an infrared camera and a microcomputer for image analysis. The infrared camera photographs the left and right eyeballs of the user, and the microcomputer performs image analysis on the photographed images to calculate the direction of the user's sight line. The visual line detection sensor 103 outputs information on the visual line direction of the user calculated by the microcomputer to the control section 104.

The control section 104 is a microcomputer formed of a CPU, ROM, RAM, and the like. The control unit 104 is connected to the touch panel 102, the visual line detection sensor 103, the storage unit 105, and the display device 106 so as to be able to receive and transmit signals. The control unit 104 controls the display contents of the display screen 101 of the display device 106 based on the operation information from the touch panel 102 and the sight line information from the sight line detection sensor 103.

Specifically, the control unit 104 includes a display control unit 104a, an operation target specifying unit 104b, a password acquisition unit 104c, a password verification unit 104d, and an invalidation unit 104 e.

When the user is requested to input the password, the display controller 104a displays 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3 (input key group) on the display screen 101 of the display device 106 as shown in fig. 3.

The operation target specification unit 104b specifies, as an operation target, a numeric keypad to which the user is directed by the line of sight in the 3-numeric keypads T1 to T3, based on the information from the line of sight detection sensor 103.

The password acquisition unit 104c determines that the operation performed on the touch panel 102 (touch surface 102a) is an operation on the numeric keypad (any of the 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3) of the operation target specified by the operation target specifying unit 104b, and acquires the input password (character string) input through the touch panel 102.

The password authentication unit 104d performs authentication as to whether or not the input password acquired by the password acquisition unit 104c matches the registered password stored in the storage unit 105. The password authentication unit 104d permits cash withdrawal from the ATM if the authentication is successful, and prohibits cash withdrawal if the authentication is unsuccessful.

The invalidation unit 104e invalidates the input operation performed by the touch panel 102 when the user's line of sight is not directed to any of the 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3 based on the information from the line of sight detection sensor 103.

The storage unit 105 is constituted by a hard disk connected to the control unit 104. The storage unit 105 stores user information (for example, an account number, a user ID, and the like) of each user and a registration password bound to the user information. In the present embodiment, the registration password is formed of, for example, four digits, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be a combination of letters and numbers or a combination of various symbols.

The various processes in the display control unit 104a, the operation target specifying unit 104b, the password acquisition unit 104c, the password authentication unit 104d, and the invalidation unit 104e are realized by the CPU of the control unit 104 executing a password authentication program stored in the ROM.

[ description of password authentication processing ]

Next, a specific example of the password authentication process executed by the control unit 104 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of fig. 4 and 5.

In step S1, it is determined whether or not a debit card is inserted from the card slot 4, and if it is determined to be NO, the process returns, and if it is determined to be YES, the process proceeds to step S2.

In step S2, the user information (e.g., account number and user ID) stored in the debit card is read.

In step S3, the display device 106 is instructed to display 3 keypads T1 to T3 on the display screen 101.

In step S4, it is assumed that the 3-digit keyboards T1 to T3 are highlighted by selecting keys located at predetermined positions (in the present embodiment, filled-in display). The predetermined position is determined randomly, for example, based on a random number process. The predetermined position may be a predetermined fixed position such as row 2, column 1, or the like.

In step S5, it is determined whether the user' S line of sight is directed to any of the 3 keypads T1 to T3 based on the information from the line of sight detection sensor 103. If the determination at step S5 is NO, the process proceeds to step S6, where the characters of the password are not input even if the touch surface 102a of the touch pad 102 is pressed (i.e., the operation input from the touch pad 102 is invalidated), and the process returns to step S5. On the other hand, if the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S7.

In step S7, the 1 numeric keypad pointed by the user 'S line of sight in the 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3 is specified as the user' S operation target.

In step S8, it is determined whether or not the finger movement operation is performed on the touch surface 102a of the touch pad 102. If the determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S10 described later, and if the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, the selection key of the user is specified and highlighted in the numeric keypad (any of the 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3) of the operation target specified in step S7. The specific designation of the selection key is performed as follows: with the key position assumed to be selected in step S4 as a reference, a position in the touch surface 102a that is exactly distant from the finger in the same direction as the direction in which the finger is moved by a distance corresponding to the distance in which the finger is moved is calculated. The highlight display of the selection key is performed by the fill display of the key, but the highlight display is not limited to this, and for example, the outline of the key may be displayed by a thick line.

On the other hand, among the numeric keypads other than the numeric keypad to be operated (for example, numeric keypads T2 and T3 in the case where the numeric keypad T1 is an operation object), a soft key positioned in a direction different from the finger moving direction on the touch panel 102a is selected and highlighted. Specifically, in the numeric keypad other than the operation target, the key located at the position apart from the finger movement direction by the predetermined distance in the touch surface 102a is specified and highlighted with reference to the key assumed to be selected in step S4. In addition, the predetermined distance may be made to correspond to the finger movement distance on the touch surface 102 a.

In step S10, it is determined whether or not a pressing operation (i.e., a selection confirmation operation of the selection key) is performed on the touch surface 102a of the touch panel 102, and if it is determined to be NO, the process returns to step S7, and if it is determined to be YES, the process proceeds to step S11 (see fig. 5).

In step S11, the numeric keypad of the operation target specified in step S7 accepts as an input character a character corresponding to the selection key selected at the time of the pressing operation (at the time of the selection determination operation) in step S10.

In step S12, it is determined whether or not the number of input characters that have been accepted has reached a preset number of characters (the number of characters of the registered password), and if it is determined that the number of input characters has reached NO, the process proceeds to step S13, and the key arrangement of each numeric keypad T1 to T3 is randomly changed, and the process returns to step S3. On the other hand, if the determination at step S12 is YES, the process proceeds to step S14, and the input character string for which the acceptance has been completed is acquired as the input password.

In step S15, it is determined whether or not the input password acquired in step S12 matches the registered password corresponding to the user information read in step S2. If the determination is NO, the password authentication is determined to have failed, the process proceeds to step S16, information prompting re-input of the password is displayed on the display screen 101, and the process returns to step S3. On the other hand, if the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S17, where the shutter of the deposit/withdrawal port 7 is opened to allow cash to be withdrawn, and then the process returns.

[ description of input operation of password ]

An example of password input operation in the ATM configured as described above will be described with reference to fig. 6A to 6D. Fig. 6A and 6B show a procedure in which the user inputs a first character (first character) of the password while looking at the numeric keypad T2 at the center, and fig. 6C and 6D show a procedure in which the user inputs a second character of the password while looking at the numeric keypad T1 at the left side. In the figures, the two-dot chain line arrows shown in the touch panel 102a indicate the movement paths of the fingers, and the one-dot chain line arrows shown in the numeric keypads T1 to T3 indicate the movement paths of the selection keys (highlighted keys).

First, when the user inserts a debit card into the card slot 4, 3 numeric keypads T1-T3 are displayed as shown in fig. 6A. The numeric keys and the sign keys (an example of a soft key) in the numeric keypads T1 to T3 are randomly (irregularly) arranged, not in the order of numbers. It is assumed that the keys located at predetermined positions among the numeric keypads T1 to T3 are selected and highlighted (steps S1 to S4).

In this state, the user is assumed to look at the numeric keypad T2 at the center, and the touch panel 102a on the touch panel 102 moves the finger to the upper right of the figure (see the dot-dash arrow of the touch panel 102 a). In this case, as shown in fig. 6B, the numeric keypad T2 of the operation target pointed by the user' S line of sight is highlighted with the numeric keypad "1" located at the position corresponding to the movement direction and the movement distance of the finger specified as the key selected by the user with reference to the numeric keypad "9" assumed to be selected (steps S7 to S9). On the other hand, with respect to the numeric keypads T1 and T3 to be left and right as non-operation targets, numeric keys "5" and "3" located in a direction different from the moving direction of the finger are selected and highlighted with reference to the numeric keys "2" and "4" assumed to be selected, respectively (steps S7 to S9). In this state, the user presses the touch surface 102a of the touch pad 102, and the numeric key "1" selected by the numeric keypad T2 at the center of the operation target is input as the first character of the password (steps S10 and S11).

After the input of the first character is completed, as shown in fig. 6C, the key arrangement of each of the numeric keypads T1 to T3 on the display screen 101 is randomly changed to a key arrangement different from that when the first character is input (step S13), and the positions of the keys supposed to be selected (highlighted) by each of the numeric keypads T1 to T3 are also randomly changed (step S4).

In this state, it is assumed that the user directs his/her sight line to the left numeric keypad T1, and then the finger is moved to the left on the touch panel 102 on the touch surface 102a (see the dot-dash arrow on the touch surface 102a in fig. 6C). In this case, the numeric keypad T1 of the operation target pointed by the user' S line of sight is highlighted with the numeric keypad "3" located at the position corresponding to the finger movement direction and movement distance specified as the key selected by the user, based on the symbol key "+" assumed to be selected (steps S7 to S9). On the other hand, with respect to the numeric keypads T2 and T3 on the center and right of the non-operation object, the sign key "#" and the numeric key "6" located in a direction different from (a direction irrelevant to) the moving direction of the finger are selected and highlighted with reference to the numeric key "1" and the numeric key "3" assumed to be selected, respectively (steps S7 to S9). In this state, the user presses the touch surface 102a of the touch pad 102, and the numeric keypad "3" selected by the numeric keypad T1 on the left side as the operation target can be input as the second character of the password. Further, characters after the third character may be input in the same manner.

[ Effect ]

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the user is requested to input a password, the control unit 104 displays the 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3 on the display screen 101. The control unit 104 is configured as follows: the numeric keypad pointed to by the user's sight line specified by the sight line detection sensor 103 is specified as a numeric keypad of an operation object, and the password input through the touch surface 102a of the touch panel 102 is acquired.

Therefore, even if another person around the user (operator) can peep into the display screen 101, it is not possible to determine which numeric keypad of the 3-numeric keypads T1 to T3 the user has performed the input operation (the finger moving operation and the finger pressing operation) as the operation target. This can significantly reduce the risk of password leakage compared to the conventional password authentication apparatus 100 in which only one numeric keypad is displayed on the display screen 101.

The control unit 104 is configured as follows: when a finger is moved on the touch surface 102a of the touch pad 102, a specific numeric keypad (any of the 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3 to which the line of sight of the user points) specified as an operation object of the user is highlighted by specifying a key selected by the user based on the movement direction and the movement distance of the finger on the touch surface 102a with reference to a predetermined soft key assumed to be selected in advance, and a soft key positioned in a direction different from the movement direction of the finger on the touch surface 102a is highlighted by selecting a soft key on the other numeric keypad.

By making the moving directions of the selection keys (highlighted keys) different from each other in the numeric keypads T1 to T3 of the display screen 101 in this way, the moving path of the user's finger can be prevented from being estimated based on the moving path of the selection key on the display screen 101. Thereby, the risk of revealing the password can be further reduced.

In the present embodiment, the control unit 104 is configured as follows: when the line of sight detected by the line of sight detection sensor 103 is not directed to any of the 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3, the password input by the touch panel 102 is invalidated.

With this configuration, the input of the password is invalidated, and the user directs the line of sight to any one of the 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3 with a higher degree of attention. Further, the accuracy of detection of the user's gaze direction by the gaze detection sensor 103 can be improved.

In the present embodiment, the control unit 104 is configured as follows: every time a character of the password is input through the touch panel 102, the key arrangement of the soft keys of the numeric keypads T1 to T3 displayed on the display screen 101 is changed, and the virtual selection keys (keys as the starting reference of the selection operation) of the numeric keypads T1 to T3 are changed.

With this configuration, it is more difficult for others to deduce the password than in the case where the key arrangement of each numeric keypad T1 to T3 displayed on the display screen 101 and the selection keys are assumed to be fixed. This reduces the risk of password leakage as much as possible.

EXAMPLE 2

Fig. 7 and 8 correspond to fig. 1 and 2 in embodiment 2. This embodiment differs from embodiment 1 in that the configuration of the password authentication apparatus 100 includes an imaging camera 107 (an example of a person detection unit) that images persons around a user (operator). The other configurations than this are the same as those in embodiment 1, and therefore, detailed description thereof is omitted.

The imaging camera 107 is provided on the left side of the mirror 6 in the receiving unit 3 of the ATM. The photographing camera 107 transmits the photographed image to the control section 104 in the form of digital data. The control unit 104 determines whether or not a person is present around the user (for example, within a radius of 1 to 2 m) based on image data from the camera 107. When the control unit 104 determines that there is a person around the user based on the image data from the camera 107, as in embodiment 1, the 3-numeric keypad T1 to T3 is displayed on the display screen 101 and the password is requested to be input (the processing of steps S3 to S13 is executed), and when it determines that there is no person, only one numeric keypad T0 is displayed and the password is requested to be input as shown in fig. 9.

When the control unit 104 determines that there is no person around the user, it recognizes that the operation on the touch pad 102 is an operation on one of the numeric keypads T0 displayed on the display screen 101, and acquires the password input through the touch pad 102.

In the password authentication apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, only one numeric keypad T0 is displayed on the display screen 101, so that the user can input the password by operating the touch panel 102 while looking at only the numeric keypad T0. This reduces the sense of complication in the password input operation, compared with the case where 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3 are displayed on the display screen 101. In addition, from the viewpoint of reducing the user's sense of complexity, the keys of the numeric keypad T0 are preferably arranged regularly in the order of numbers. When the numeric keypad T0 is displayed, it is preferable that the key arrangement is not changed every time a password is input.

Other embodiments

In each of the above embodiments, the controller 104 moves the selection key in the direction different from the movement direction of the finger on the touch surface 102a in the numeric keypad other than the operation target among the 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3 displayed on the display screen 101, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the other numeric keypad, as in the numeric keypad to be operated, the keys located at the positions corresponding to the moving direction and the moving distance of the finger may be highlighted as the selection keys based on the virtual selection keys. Accordingly, in each of the numeric keypads T1 to T3, since the movement locus of the selection key is the same, even if the movement of the finger on the display screen 101 and the touch panel 102a is peeped by another person at the same time, it is difficult for another person to specify the numeric keypad of the operation target of the user in the 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3. This reduces the risk of password leakage as much as possible.

In the above embodiments, the touch panel 102 is used as the input operation unit, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a direction key, a joystick, or the like may be used. The input operation unit may be provided on the display screen. In this case, the display screen is preferably constituted by a touch panel or the like, and the input operation unit is preferably disposed as far as possible from the numeric keypads T1 to T3.

In the above embodiment, 3 numeric keypads T1 to T3 are displayed on the display screen 101 as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of numeric keypads may be 2, or 4 or more. In addition, as an example of the input key group, a numeric keypad capable of inputting numbers of 0 to 9 is used, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the input key group may be a keyboard or the like into which letters can be input.

In embodiment 2, the imaging camera 107 is used as a person detection unit for detecting persons around the user, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a person sensing sensor may be used, for example.
