Patent ID: 8925071

Claim:
A computer implemented method to authorize an access to an application, comprising: a processor of a computer, generating a plurality of geometrical patterns including a plurality of instances of arrangements of one or more first nodes, and one or more second nodes, wherein the plurality of geometric patterns are associated with a plurality of input types; upon receiving a trigger to access the application, rendering at least one geometrical pattern and at least one instance of the one or more first nodes and the one or more second nodes corresponding to the rendered at least one geometrical pattern, on a user interface, wherein the at least one geometrical pattern comprises an arrangement of the one or more first nodes and at least one second node from the one or more second nodes as a rotary dial; based on an input type associated with the rendered at least one geometrical pattern, receiving a selection of the one or more first nodes and the at least one second node from the one or more second nodes as an authorizing key, wherein the input type associated with the rendered rotary dial, comprises: a drag gesture to select the one or more first nodes, wherein the drag gesture is associated with a first direction and a second direction of movement, to drop the selected one or more first nodes at a drop zone, via a drop gesture; and upon receiving the selection, authorizing the access to the application by matching the authorizing key with an authorizing passcode stored in a memory of the computer.
