  • Patent number: 11381556
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for information interaction, and a method and an apparatus for associating human biometric data with an account are disclosed. The information interaction method includes: acquiring, when an information interaction operation with a user account of an information interaction party is triggered, human biometric data of a user acting as the information interaction party; suspending the information interaction operation when determining that no matching user account exists according to the human biometric data, and uploading the human biometric data to a server by a device to establish an association relationship between the user account of the user and the human biometric data; and resuming the information interaction operation when a user account matching the human biometric data sent by the server is received, and completing the information interaction operation with the user account matching the human biometric data.

  • Patent number: 10448247
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus includes a terminal device that recognizes a sequence of click operations made by the user according to a maneuver prompted on a terminal device. The sequence of click operations carries operation information from which a click pattern characteristic, such as a characteristic code, can be determined. Upon receiving the determined click pattern characteristic, a server verifies the user input by matching the click pattern characteristic with a verification code set or stored by the server. The click pattern characteristic may be based on recognizing clicking or tapping operations performed by the user at a specified time and/or in a designated area.

  • Patent number: 10027641
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus of account login to solve the problem of low efficiency of account login in existing technologies. A client of the method captures an image of a first credential of a user, recognizes user information of the user that is included in the captured image, includes the recognized user information into a login request, and sends the login request to a server for logging into an account that corresponds to the user information. Through this method, a user does not need to input his/her username when using a client for account login, but perform the account login by directly capturing an image of a first credential using an image capturing device of the client, thus effectively improving the efficiency of account login.
