Graphical User-ID with Partial Match Scheme and Application for Mobile Web-Services

In recent years, biometric technologies for user identification are advancing rapidly. And, the traditional text-based user ID and password is used. It is difficult to user to input texts, causes much time to input a text. To decrease the problem, we proposed Graphical User IDEntifier Scheme (GUIDES) and Graphical user-ID suggestion. This scheme can give a user a user-ID similar to the user-specified user-ID when the user specifies the same user-id that has already been registered. We showed effectiveness of GUIDES including suggestion scheme. In this paper, we propose a new method, called Graphical userID with Partial Match Scheme. This scheme can input userID that is not the correct registered user-ID but similar to it when authenticating user-ID.
