Description

POS DEVICE MEMORY MODULE PROTECTION AND ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a control unit embedded within a memory module of a POS device to protect stored fiscal information therein against unauthorized access.
Protection of data stored in card payment systems has a significant importance. Different security measures are taken as defined according to international standards to prevent unauthorized access to the memory module. To this end, the POS system may get blocked in the event that an unauthorized access attempt is detected.
In card payment systems, the transaction history data is saved on memory modules as imposed by fiscal authorities, such data needed to be preserved for a certain time duration. In order for preventing non-authorized treatment of the data preserved on the memory module, it is necessary to take several security measures involving electromechanical access detection systems by which unauthorized access to the contained data can be detected.
A conventional memory module may comprise a memory medium and a security enclosure enclosing the memory medium. A connector establishes signal communication between the memory module and an electronic card of the POS device.
Several techniques are applied to prevent unauthorized access to the memory module. Among others, a prior art publication in the technical field of the invention may be referred to as EP2523158, which discloses a data storage device having an electronic processing unit designed as a microcontroller, and a program memory is provided for storing a fiscal data operation program. The memory cells of a fiscal memory are non-rewritable, where the fiscal data is read by the electronic processing unit in the non-volatile memory. An interface is provided for communication with a structural unit. The microcontroller and the fiscal memory are molded into mini-housing that formed by a hardened casting compound.
The present invention provides a POS device memory module involving an access protection control unit as defined by the characterizing features in Claim 1 and subsequent Claims.
Primary object of the present invention is to provide a POS device memory module involving an access protection control unit effective in protecting unauthorized access to the memory unit and in preventing data manipulation thereof.
The present invention proposes a point-of-sale (POS) system to effect payment transactions. It comprises a bottom body unit with a memory module and an upper body unit with a main board. If the upper and bottom body units are assembled to each other, the two connectors of the memory module and the main board come into contact with each other to enable access to a memory unit of the memory module. On the other hand, contact of the memory module connector with the main board connector is lost if one attempts to separate the upper and bottom body units.
An access protection control unit of the memory module is provided to control access to the memory unit by selectively enabling data flow through an access line. A data bus between the memory module and the main board and an access line between the access protection control unit and the memory unit are therefore simultaneously opened if an unauthorized access attempt is detected. In this case, the access protection control unit blocks access to the memory unit by way of automatically driving a switching means through an access control data bus
To reestablish the contact and reauthenticate a previously disconnected main board, the access protection control unit of the memory module confirms an associated security code of the main board before granting access to the memory unit.
Accompanying drawings are given solely for the purpose of exemplifying a POS device memory module, whose advantages over prior art were outlined above and will be explained in brief hereinafter.
The drawings are not meant to delimit the scope of protection as identified in the Claims, nor should they be referred to alone in an effort to interpret the scope identified in the Claims without recourse to the technical disclosure in the description of the present invention.
Fig. 1 demonstrates a general perspective view of an upper body unit of a POS system together with a bottom body unit thereof in an unassembled manner according to the present invention.
Fig. 2 demonstrates a general perspective view of the bottom body unit of the POS system together with a memory module according to the present invention.
Fig. 3 demonstrates a general block diagram of the memory module according to which the access protection control unit executes the method of operation according to the present invention.

The present invention relates to an access protection control unit (3) of a memory module (1) restricting unauthorized access to an embedded memory unit (5) by preventing access to the stored fiscal data.
The present invention relates to a security arrangement to protect the memory module (1) of a POS system from unauthorized access. The memory module (1) of the POS system is embedded within a housing portion of a bottom body unit (10) of the POS system so as to communicate with a main board (11) located in an upper body unit (9) of the POS system.
The memory module (1) is mountable in the POS device to establish a direct connection with the main board (11) such that access to the memory module (1) by a fraudulent attempt by way of removing the same is detectable. According to the present invention, in case an attempt of tampering with the POS system occurs, the electrical contact between a memory module connector (12) and a main board connector (13), normally in electrical communication with each other if the upper and bottom body units (9, 10) are appropriately joined to each other, is cut and the information in relation to the signal interruption is recorded in the memory module (1).
Therefore a pair of connectors, namely the memory module connector (12) and the main board connector (13) provides electrical connection between the memory module (1) and the main board (11) when two separate parts forming the POS system are assembled to each other.
According to the present invention, the main board (11) and the memory module (1) are originally paired to communicate with each other while the POS system is assembled and factory tested. To this end, the main board (11) of the upper body unit (9) is authenticated by the access protection control unit (3) of the memory module (1) by a security code. The communication between the memory module (1) and the main board (11) through a data bus (2) is therefore preserved as long as no attempt for separating the upper body unit (9) from the bottom body unit (10) takes place. If the communication between the memory module connector (12) and the main board connector (13) is interrupted, reestablishment of the secure communication with access rights to the memory unit (5) is realized as delineated hereinafter.
In the event the communication between the memory module (1) and the main board (11) is cut, the access protection control unit (3) selectively enables or disables access to the memory unit (5) by way of selectively effectuating data flow between the main board (11) and the memory unit (5) by driving a switching means (6) through an access control data bus (4). When the switching means (6) opens an access line (7), no data can be read and/or written as the access protection control unit (3) itself has no access to the memory unit (5) as long as the switching means (6) keeps the access line (7) open.
According to the present invention, when the communication between the memory module (1) and the main board (11) is cut, the access protection control unit (3) automatically drives the switching means (6) through the access control data bus (4) so that the access line (7) is blocked.
Therefore, the access line (7) remains blocked until the security code that is unique to the specific main board (11) and the POS device is confirmed. Access of the POS system main board (11) to the memory module (1) is enabled if the unique security code is provided upon which access permission can be granted.
It is to be noted that the memory module (1) attached to the bottom body unit (10) connects to the main board (11) in the upper body unit (9) of the POS system by contact of respective connectors. The memory module connector (12) and the main board connector (13) provide electrical connection between the memory module (1) and the main board (11) only when the two separate parts forming the POS system are fixedly assembled to each other. Therefore interruption of the connectors’ contacts being directly associated with an unauthorized access attempt, the access protection control unit (3) automatically drives the switching means (6), disabling the access line (7) to ensure data protection. Tampering with the POS system is therefore effectively prevented and if the electrical contact between memory module pins of the memory module connector (12) and main board pins of the main board connector (13) is reestablished, the access line (7) remains blocked until the correct security code is entered into the system.
In a more specific manner, the POS system operates in the manner that the main board (11) can normally read and write data on the memory unit (5) through the data bus (2) and the access line (7). In this case, the access protection control unit (3) acts as a closed switch connecting the data bus (2) with the access line (7). In the event that access to the memory unit (5) is disallowed, the access protection control unit (3) automatically opens the switching means (6) so that the main board (11) can no more read or write data on the memory unit (5).
The memory module (1) typically comprises an internal battery (8) to power the access protection control unit (3) and other components.
Consequently, the present invention provides a point-of-sale (POS) system to effect payment transactions, the POS system comprising a bottom body unit (10) containing a memory module (1) and an upper body unit (9) containing a main board (11) such that the memory module (1) and the main board (11) communicate when the upper and bottom body units (9, 10) are assembled to each other.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the memory module (1) establishes electrical communication with the main board (11) of the POS system by means of a memory module connector (12) in contact with a main board connector (13).
An access protection control unit (3) of the memory module (1) selectively enables or disables access to the memory unit (5) by way of selectively effectuating data flow through a data bus (2) and an access line (7) between the main board (11) and a memory unit (5).
In a further embodiment of the present invention, communication between the memory unit (5) and the main board (11) is preserved and the access protection control unit (3) acts as a closed switch connecting the data bus (2) with the access line (7) if no attempt for separating the upper body unit (9) from the bottom body unit (10) is detected.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, the access protection control unit (3) blocks access to the memory unit (5) when the communication between the memory module (1) and the main board (11) is interrupted.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, the access protection control unit (3) automatically drives a switching means (6) through an access control data bus (4) when the communication between the memory module (1) and the main board (11) is interrupted.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, the main board (11) of the upper body unit (9) is authenticated by the access protection control unit (3) of the memory module (1) by a security code.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, if the communication between the memory module connector (12) and the main board connector (13) is interrupted, the access line (7) remains blocked until the security code that is unique to the main board (11) is confirmed.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, the access protection control unit (3) has no access to the memory unit (5) if the switching means (6) keeps the access line (7) open.
The present invention therefore advantageously eliminates the risk of tempering with the POS system by immediately cancelling access rights of the main board (11) in the upper body unit (9) of the POS system as electrical connection between the memory module (1) and the main board (11) is established only when the upper and bottom body units forming the POS system are fixedly assembled. When the read and/or write access rights of the main board (11) are cancelled, the switching means (6) remains open so does the access line (7) to protect data security. The fact that the access protection control unit (3) cannot provide access to the memory unit (5) as long as the switching means (6) as a separate physical device blocks access is advantageous in that security is improved against manipulation of the fiscal data.
