Information processing device, information processing method, and computer program

Abstract

The invention discloses an information processing device, an information processing method, and a computer program. An information processing device includes a display that displays an input screen including a plurality of images, an image selecting section that selects at least one image within the input screen in accordance with an input operation from a user, and a controller that controls the information processing device on a basis of the image selected by the image selecting section. There is provided an information processing method including displaying an input screen including a plurality of images, selecting at least one image within the input screen in accordance with an input operation from a user, and controlling operation of an information processing device on a basis of the selected image. By using the device and the method, a risk of the inputted information being discovered by a third person who is behind or near the user can be prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology disclosed in the present invention relates to, for example, an information processing device, an information processing method, and a computer program that perform user authentication at the start of use. Background technique [0002] Currently, various types of information processing devices have been developed and widely used. Examples of such information processing devices include multifunctional terminals such as personal computers (PCs), tablets, and smartphones, and head-mounted displays worn on the user's head or face. Most of these information processing devices are frequently used by users in their daily lives, and therefore, these information processing devices store various information such as secret information. Thus, security control such as checking the authenticity of the user when starting to use the information processing device becomes more important. [0003] In the field of information processing, authentication met...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in order to read information about biometrics such as the iris or retina from the user, expensive devices specifically designed for this are necessary

Incorporating this type of authentication device into information equipment that users often use in their daily lives leads to many disadvantages in terms of cost

Also, the devices used to read the iris, retina, etc. serve little purpose other than authentication, and once authenticated, these devices don't have any chance of being used for the day-to-day execution of the application
