The effect. In addition, through the above application, the storage unit 13 can be further formatted into a plurality of storage areas, such as three storage areas A, B, and c, and the user can separately set the allowable access location and access rights for each storage area. As shown in Fig. 4, the storage area a can only be written and read at the positions G1 and G2, and can only be read at the position G3, and the storage area B can only be written and read at the position G3. Can only be read at position G4, storage area 201211823 c can only be written and read at positions G5, G6, can only be read at the location port. When the location-enabled storage device of the embodiment is a flash drive, the storage unit 13 uses flash memory. The following describes how to set access rights based on the location information. Since the flash memory in the flash drive is cut into a plurality of memory blocks, each block has a fixed memory space, for example, if the file is stored in a flash drive, if the size of the file exceeds (4) 128kbyteS, the building will be scattered and stored in multiple memory blocks. These memory blocks may be continuous or scattered. Therefore, for the management of these standards and blocks, there are built-in files in the flash drive. For the table, as shown in FIG. 5, the physical address of each block of the record storage file and the logical address corresponding to each physical address are used, whereby when the file is read, the flash drive is based on The logical address of the file finds the corresponding physical address and the file is read out smoothly. Therefore, the control unit can execute the preset application, and as shown in step 41 of FIG. 6, it is judged that the user φ - J 鲫 the user wants to store a file in the storage unit 13: - "Step 42 of Figure 6" Ask the user whether to set the file to allow the D-noon access location. If yes, proceed with the step to ask the user whether to use the location under * as the location to allow access to the broadcast. If yes, proceed to the step... You can set the access rights at this location, such as taking a case or writing a file and reading the file at the same time, as shown in Figure 7. For example, the standard A can be written or read at position G1, but only at position G2. Can read 'and the right case β can be written or read at position 2 but in 201211823 • set 3, this is taken 4 . Record the set location and access rights in the mapping table or store them separately. Finally, after the setting of the access authority is completed, the step 45' is performed to store the file in the storage unit 13. In step 42, if the user chooses not to set the allowed access location, step 45 is performed to directly store the file; and in step 43, if the user selects to input another location as the allowed access location, step 46 is performed. The user is required to input another location before proceeding to step 44. Of course, in step 46, the user can record the location to be entered in advance and then input it in a duplicate manner. Therefore, when the user does not open the file in the set position, the control unit determines that the location information received by the location information receiving unit does not match the set location information of the allowed access, and refuses to open the file, and the protection file is not in the file. Allowing places other than the access location to be opened. In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned geographic location to set the access rights of the files in the storage unit, the flash memory can be formatted into a plurality of storage areas as shown in FIG. 4 like a hard disk, and are respectively set by geographic location. Call for access to each storage area. Furthermore, the location information receiving unit 12 described above can also use a wireless network communication module that can communicate with a wireless network access point device (AP) located at a fixed location in addition to the GPS. For example, the existing wireless network card is implemented, because the wireless network card needs to access the Internet through the wireless network access point device, so when the wireless network access point device receives the signal from the wireless network card, it will know The wireless network card enters the communication range of several meters around it. Therefore, the location information receiving unit 12 of the present embodiment 9201211823 can be designed to periodically obtain the wireless, the address of the peripheral access point device itself, and the control unit. " The access rights of the storage unit 13 can be determined according to this address or the address of other wireless network access point devices recorded in advance, as described above. Therefore, when the control unit i 4 that locates the storage package 1 determines that the location of the wireless network access point device received by the location information receiving unit 12 matches the set address f, the storage unit is prohibited. 13 is accessed, that is, only when the wireless network access point device corresponding to the set address is received, the storage unit 13 is opened for access, and the protection location is enabled in the storage device 钃1. The purpose of information security. Therefore, if the location-enabled storage device is integrated into a personal digital assistant (PDA), the location information receiving unit 12 can use the personal digital assistant's own wireless network communication module to obtain the location of the wireless network access point device. Let the information. In addition, the location information receiving unit 12 can also apply a wireless communication module that can communicate with the mobile phone base station, for example, an existing SM/GPRS mobile communication module, and the location information is connected to the base port.
