20110072498 | TEARING AND CONFORMAL TRANSFORMATION HUMAN INTERACTIVE PROOF - The HIP creation technique described herein pertains to a technique for creating a human interactive proof (HIP) by applying tearing and/or a conformal transformation to a string of characters while maintaining readability of text. In one embodiment, the technique tears a character string into two or more pieces and applies conformal transformation to warp the pieces in order to create a HIP. The transformation changes the shape and orientation of the characters but preserves angles of the characters which makes it easy for humans to recognize the characters after the transformation. Other embodiments of the technique create HIPs by applying tearing only to a string of characters, or by applying conformal transformation only to the character string. | 03-24-2011 |

As such, the OHIP splits an image including one or more visual objects into two or more partial images to form a HIP. The partial images may also be further split into groups of sub-partial images, and/or the partial images (or the sub-partial images) may be moved, so that at any given alignment position, a user can recognize only some visual objects. A user is instructed to reassemble the partial images at one or more predetermined alignment positions using a GUI, and the user is asked to identify information regarding one or more visible objects. | 11-17-2011 |
