Abstract:
The present invention provides a computer implemented method, a system, and a computer program product for verifying a writing of a user. In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention includes in response to receiving a writing on a pressure sensing touchpad logically coupled a computer system, recording a position and a pressure of one or more points of the writing via a pressure sensing touchscreen, executing a set of logical operations normalizing the writing, comparing the normalized writing to one or more stored writing parameters, executing a set of logical operations determining the normalized writing is within a tolerance of writing parameter deviation limits, thereby verifying the writing, and in response to determining the writing is within the tolerance of writing parameter deviation limits, storing, by the computer system, a value indicating that the writing is valid.

Handwriting verification methods and related computer systems, and handwriting-based user authentication methods and related computer systems are disclosed. A handwriting verification method comprises obtaining a handwriting test sample containing a plurality of available parameters, extracting geometric parameters, deriving geometric features comprising an x-position value and a y-position value for each of a plurality of feature points in the test sample, performing feature matching between geometric features of the test sample and a reference sample, determining a handwriting verification result based at least in part on the feature matching, and outputting the handwriting verification result. Techniques and tools for generating and preserving electronic handwriting data also are disclosed. Raw handwriting data is converted to a streamed format that preserves the original content of the raw handwriting data. Techniques and tools for inserting electronic handwriting data into a digital image also are disclosed.

A marking analysis system includes a marking data storage unit to store a plurality of marking data indicating a plurality of positions marked by a user in a book so as to correspond respectively to a plurality of users, a marking distribution analysis unit that analyzes the marking data and calculates a marking frequency for each of a plurality of unit areas in the book, and generates marking distribution characteristic data indicating a distribution of the marking frequency with respect to a position in the unit area, a marking distribution characteristic data storage unit to store the marking distribution characteristic data, and a similar user retrieval unit that, when determining that the distribution of the marking frequency indicated by the marking distribution characteristic data of a target user selected as a processing target and the distribution of the marking frequency indicated by the marking distribution characteristic data of another user are similar, extracts the another user as a similar user who is similar to the target user.
Abstract:
A method for training a classifier for authenticating signatures hand-drawn on an electronic input element includes receiving a set of multiple signature properties of each of multiple signatures documented over a time range of a common user, each set of multiple signature properties is associated with a time period during which a respective signature was documented at the time range, wherein the plurality of signatures were hand-drawn and digitally recorded using an electronic input element; generating a signature authenticating classifier for authenticating additional signatures of the common user based on the set of multiple signature properties of each of the plurality of signatures, wherein a weight assigned to each the set of multiple signature properties or a portion thereof decreases overtime, the weight is used for the generation of the classifier; and providing the signature authenticating classifier for authenticating the additional signatures.
Abstract:
A system for enhancing reading performance operates on a network-connected server with software executing from a non transitory medium at the server providing an interactive interface for a user connected to the server via a browser link. There is a data repository coupled to the server. The interactive interface provides a word search exercise for the user for improving the user's reading performance, displays a passage comprising a first number of words and a search list with a second number of words that each appear at least once in the passage, the second number smaller than the first number, and when the user clicks on every word in the passage for a word that appears in the search list, that word is indicated in the list as found, until all the words in the search list have been indicated as found.
Abstract:
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that generate a teaching data set for use by a handwriting recognizer. Ink input is received from various ink sources, such as implicit field data, scripted untruthed ink, scripted truth ink, and/or ink from at least one other language in the same script as the target language for the recognizer. The ink input is used with various machine learning methods and/or other algorithmic methods to generate a teaching ink data set. Examples of the various machine learning methods include a character and/or word n-gram distribution leveling method, an allograph method, a subject diversity method, and a print and cursive data selection method. The teaching ink data is used by a handwriting trainer to produce the handwriting recognizer for the target language.
Abstract:
The device includes a neural network with an input layer 3, an internal layer 4, and an output layer 5. This network is designed to classify data vectors to classes, the synaptic weights in the network being determined through programming on the basis of specimens whose classes are known. Each class is defined during programming as corresponding to a set of neurons of which each represents a domain which contains a fixed number of specimens. The network includes a number of neurons and synaptic weights which have been determined as a function of the classes thus defined.
Abstract:
Provided is a segment-based handwritten signature authentication system and method and, more specifically, to a segment-based handwritten signature authentication system and method, in which handwritten signature authentication based on segments is performed by using handwritten signature characteristics information based on segments disjointed by a user's signing behavior.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums for implementing gesture-based signature authentication. In one embodiment, a method may involve recording a first gesture-based signature and storing the recorded first gesture-based signature. Then the method compares the first gesture-based signature with a second gesture-based signature. Then the method verifies the first gesture-based signature as authentic when the first gesture-based signature is substantially similar to the second gesture-based signature.

Handwriting verification methods and related computer systems, and handwriting-based user authentication methods and related computer systems are disclosed. A handwriting verification method comprises obtaining a handwriting test sample containing a plurality of available parameters, extracting geometric parameters, deriving geometric features comprising an x-position value and a y-position value for each of a plurality of feature points in the test sample, performing feature matching between geometric features of the test sample and a reference sample, determining a handwriting verification result based at least in part on the feature matching, and outputting the handwriting verification result. The geometric features may further comprise values derived from the geometric parameters, such as direction and curvature values. The handwriting verification result can be further based on a count of unlinked feature points. Handwriting-based user authentication methods can employ such handwriting verification methods, or other handwriting verification methods.
