A method and an apparatus includes a terminal device that recognizes a sequence of click operations made by the user according to a maneuver prompted on a terminal device. The sequence of click operations carries operation information from which a click pattern characteristic, such as a characteristic code, can be determined. Upon receiving the determined click pattern characteristic, a server verifies the user input by matching the click pattern characteristic with a verification code set or stored by the server. The click pattern characteristic may be based on recognizing clicking or tapping operations performed by the user at a specified time and/or in a designated area.

Method and apparatus for information verification

Exchanging information via a designated application includes establishing a voice communication link with a client device; sending a launch command associated with a designated application to the client device via the voice communication link, wherein upon receiving the launch command, the client device is caused to launch the designated application; and exchanging information with the client device through the designated application.

Launching a designated application using a set of signals

The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus of account login to solve the problem of low efficiency of account login in existing technologies. A client of the method captures an image of a first credential of a user, recognizes user information of the user that is included in the captured image, includes the recognized user information into a login request, and sends the login request to a server for logging into an account that corresponds to the user information. Through this method, a user does not need to input his/her username when using a client for account login, but perform the account login by directly capturing an image of a first credential using an image capturing device of the client, thus effectively improving the efficiency of account login.

Method and apparatus of account login

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for user verification. A terminal device recognizes a sequence of click operations made by the user according to a maneuver prompted on a terminal device. The sequence of click operations carries operation information from which a click pattern characteristic, such as a characteristic code, can be determined. Upon receiving the determined click pattern characteristic, a server verifies the user input by matching the click pattern characteristic with a verification code set or stored by the server. The click pattern characteristic may be based on recognizing clicking or tapping operations performed by the user at a specified time and/or in a designated area. The method enables user verification on devices that lowers the rate of errors in the user input of verification codes.

Exchanging information via a designated application includes establishing a voice communication link with a client device, sending a launch command associated with a designated application to the client device via the voice communication link, wherein the launch command is configured to cause the designated application to be launched at the client device; and exchanging information with the client device using the designated application, wherein the designated application is configured to receive input information and the input information is received from the client device.
