Appeal No. 95-3991
Application 08/233,546
JERRY SMITH, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134
from the examiner's rejection of claims 21, 23 and 33-37,
which constitute all the claims remaining in the application.
The disclosed invention pertains to a method and
apparatus for enhancing security with respect to
identification of a user of a business terminal.
Specifically, the invention considers three different security
measures. First, the invention alters the keyboard
configuration on a touch-screen display to make finger pattern
movement irrelevant to an observer. Second, the invention
alters the location of the keyboard on a touch-screen display
to make surreptitious copying more difficult. Finally, the
disclosed invention checks a signature input by the user as a
form of identification in addition to the standard personal
identification number.
