Virtual Reality Payment Authentication Interface Scattering Characters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In virtual reality environments, the standardized arrangement of alphanumeric characters on traditional PIN pads makes it easy for observers to detect a user's PIN number, posing a security risk as users are less aware of their surroundings.
Innovation Solution
A virtual reality payment authentication interface that randomly scatters alphanumeric characters throughout the environment, increasing difficulty levels based on transaction amounts, making it difficult for observers to discern the user's input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a standardized PIN pad configuration is used in virtual reality, then ease of operation is improved, but security is worsened due to observers easily detecting user input
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a traditional 2D PIN pad interface to a 3D virtual reality environment where authentication characters are scattered throughout spatial space. Users interact with floating virtual characters by reaching out and touching them with their hands, transforming the flat keypad interaction into a three-dimensional spatial interaction that prevents shoulder surfing while maintaining ease of use.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual reality interface dynamically adjusts the position, orientation, and distribution of authentication characters in three-dimensional space. The system can change character positions between attempts and adapt to different user interactions, making it difficult for observers to predict or detect the authentication sequence while preserving user convenience.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If alphanumeric characters are scattered randomly in virtual reality, then security is improved by preventing observer detection, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a universal virtual hand interaction model that works across different authentication scenarios and character distributions. The same hand-tracking and selection mechanisms handle various authentication types (PIN, password, biometric verification), reducing overall system complexity despite the randomized character arrangement in three-dimensional space.
Solution Approach 2:
The virtual reality system automatically manages character positioning, user guidance, and authentication validation without requiring complex external controls. The interface self-adjusts to user actions, providing contextual hints and maintaining secure authentication sequences automatically, thereby reducing the perceived complexity for users while enhancing security.

AI summary
A method of generating a virtual reality payment authentication entry interface includes receiving, over a computer network, a request for payment authorization; identifying a virtual reality interface; generating a plurality of payment authentication characters in the virtual reality interface; receiving user input associated with at least one character of the plurality of payment authentication characters in the virtual reality interface; and generating a payment authorization response to the request for payment authorization based on the received user input.
