  • Universally usable human-interaction proof
    Patent number: 8245277
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for generating a universally usable, completely automated public turing test to tell a computer and a human apart (CAPTCHA). The universally usable CAPTCHA uses contextually related pictures and sounds to present concepts to a user. The pictures allow the CAPTCHA to be used by someone who could see, and the audio would allow the CAPTCHA to be used by someone who could not see. This combination of sound and images should make the CAPTCHA more universally usable for a larger population of users than previously known CAPTCHAs.
