Claims
- 1. Method with which users enter instructions, said instructions being entered with sequences of several voluntary movements of eye parts, wherein the individual sequence required for entering a certain instruction is entered by every user in a learning phase and repeated for entering this instruction, so that the sequence is individual for each user.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said sequence comprises a plurality of viewing directions.
- 3. The method of claim 2, wherein an image is reproduced to said user and wherein said viewing directions correspond to predefined image parts.
- 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said image is three-dimensional.
- 5. The method of claim 3, wherein said image parts correspond to a virtual keyboard.
- 6. The method of claim 3, wherein said image is represented on a screen.
- 7. The method of claim 3, wherein said image is reproduced with a VRD device.
- 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said sequence comprises different focussing distances.
- 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said sequence comprises at least one blink.
- 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said sequence comprises at least one voluntary squinting eye movement.
- 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said sequence is converted as digital code.
- 12. The method of claim 11, wherein said digital code is signed electronically.
- 13. The method of claim 11, wherein said code is signed electronically with said user's private key.
- 14. The method of claim 11, wherein said code is signed with the user's biometric characteristics.
- 15. The method of claim 14, wherein said biometric characteristics of the user comprise eye characteristics.
- 16. The method of claim 15, wherein said biometric characteristics of the user comprise eye characteristics of eye parts of both eyes.
- 17. The method of claim 1, wherein a parameter dependent on the body temperature is measured and is linked with said sequence.
- 18. The method of claim 1, wherein a parameter dependent on the warming of the retina is measured and linked with said sequence.
- 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the reaction of the iris to light variations is measured and linked as parameter with said sequence.
- 20. The method of claim 1, wherein said sequence is determined through a portable terminal, said sequence being transmitted through a mobile radio part in said terminal over a mobile radio network to a remote server.
- 21. The method of claim 20, wherein said server is administered by a service provider and wherein the connection between said mobile radio part and said server is encrypted end-to-end.
- 22. The method of claim 21, wherein said sequence is compared in said server with a sequence stored by the user in advance, and wherein said instruction is only then carried out when the entered and the stored sequences correspond.
- 23. The method of claim 1, wherein a plurality of different individual sequences is provided for each user, each sequence corresponding to another instruction.
- 24. The method of claim 1, wherein said sequence is determined through a portable terminal and is compared with a sequence stored in this terminal.
- 25. Terminal, comprising
means for determining the sequences of voluntary movements of eye parts, means for encoding and encrypting said sequences, and means for sending said encoded sequences over a mobile radio network to a remote server.
- 26. Server in a communication network, having a database in which a plurality of individual sequences of voluntary movements of eye parts are contained, each sequence corresponding to a certain instruction of a certain user.
