Embodiment
About aforementioned and other technology contents, characteristics and effect of the present invention, in the detailed description of following cooperation two preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, can clearly present.Before the present invention is described in detail, be noted that in the following description content similarly assembly is to represent with identical numbering.
Consult Fig. 2, in first preferred embodiment that prevents the computer installation that camera function is stolen of the present invention, computer installation 1 have a central processing unit 10, one basic input and output (BIOS) module 11, one power supply unit 12, one peripheral control circuit 13, an one USB transmission interface 14 and a keyboard 15, and computer installation 1 connects a web camera 3, web camera 3 is transferred to peripheral controller 13 by USB transmission interface 14 with the signal of video signal of shooting with video-corder and uses for the subsequent applications program, and web camera 3 is also obtained the power Vcc of supplying with from power supply unit 12 by USB transmission interface 14.
The computer installation that is different from existing built-in web camera, computer installation 1 also comprise an embedded controller (Embedded Controller; Be called for short EC) 21, one on-off circuit 22 and a switch module 23.
Because embedded controller 21 all belongs to each producer's customization and externally not open with the communication of BIOS module 11, therefore utilize embedded controller be the characteristic of closed system and collocation on-off circuit Control Network video camera the power supply supply whether, can effectively block extraneous malicious intrusions and crack.
On-off circuit 22 connects the power Vcc of power supply units 12, and bridges between first pin 211 and the USB transmission interface 14, and on-off circuit 22 mainly is the control signal according to first pin 211, export/does not export this power Vcc to web camera 3.
Consult Fig. 3, the embedded controller 21 that this preferred embodiment is adopted is embedded keyboard controller, have a control module 210, a storer 213, an interface module 214, one first pin 211 and one second pin 212, wherein, interface module 214 is in order to handle the input function of keyboard 15, owing to be not emphasis of the present invention, seldom be described at this.
Consult Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the program in control module 210 pseudostatic rams 213 is to carry out the web camera power control method that prevents that camera function is stolen of the present invention; First pin 211 and second pin 212 are two GPIO pins of embedded controller 21.
Control module 210 has two kinds of control modes of software/hardware for on-off circuit 22, a kind of be utilize storer 213 software program gauge tap circuit 22 power supply whether, another kind is to be used to judge whether to make on-off circuit 22 power supplies to give web camera 3 from the hardware setting that connects switch module 23.
Aspect hardware controls, utilize the switching of switch module 23 at a conducting (ON) state or a not conducting (OFF) state, that is, control the high/low voltage level of second pin 212, and by the high/low voltage level notice control module 210 of second pin 212, make control module 210 use for on-off circuit 22 by the control signal of first pin, 211 output conducting/not conductings according to the conducting state or the not on-state of switch module 23.
Consult Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, the stolen web camera power control method of camera function that prevents of the present invention is carried out by computer installation 1, and this method comprises the steps: that embedded controller 21 exports a control signal according to the conducting/not on-state of switch module 23 and give on-off circuit 22 (step 401), then, the control signal of on-off circuit 22 not conductings of foundation not out-put supply Vcc is given web camera 3 (step 402), perhaps, on-off circuit 22 is given web camera 3 (step 403) according to the control signal of conducting with out-put supply Vcc.
Consult Fig. 5, in second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the assembly that computer installation 1 ' has comprises that the effect of central processing unit 10 ', BIOS module 11 ', power supply unit 12 ', peripheral control circuit 13 ', USB transmission interface 14 ', keyboard 15 ', embedded controller 21 ', on-off circuit 22 ', web camera 3 ' and each assembly and annexation roughly as Fig. 2, do not repeat to give unnecessary details.
What be different from first preferred embodiment is that computer installation 1 ' also has a display 16, and 21 ' need of embedded controller, one GPIO pin 212 ', and on-off circuit 22 ' is to accept manual switchover so that output/out-put supply Vcc gives web camera 3; By this, embedded controller 21 ' can detect the power Vcc supply status of web camera 3 and export one and supply the status signal of display 16 demonstrations of computer installation 1 ' by GPIO pin 211 '.
The power control method of second preferred embodiment is to carry out at computer installation 1 ', this method comprises the steps: at first, the power supply supply status of the on-off circuit 22 ' of embedded controller 21 ' bridge detection between power Vcc and web camera 3, then, embedded controller 21 ' supplies the status signal of display 16 demonstrations of computer installation 1 ' according to the power Vcc supply status output one of web camera 3, makes the user can directly learn the power Vcc supply status of web camera 3 in display 16.
In sum, the present invention prevents that the computer installation that camera function is stolen and the effect of web camera power control method are:
1. utilizing embedded controller 21 is power supply supplies of the characteristic of closed system and the on-off circuit Control Network video camera 3 of arranging in pairs or groups, therefore can effectively block extraneous malicious intrusions and crack.
2. utilize embedded controller 21 to detect the power Vcc supply status of web cameras 3 and show, the power Vcc supply status that the user can be known learn web camera 3 at the display 16 of computer installation 1 '.
3. utilize the GPIO pin and the on-off circuit 22,22 ' of embedded controller 21, the increase of cost is limited, but the user can be provided simple and safe environment for use, so can reach purpose of the present invention really.
The above-described content of thought, it only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, can not limit scope of the invention process with this, promptly every simple equivalent variations and modification of being done according to claims scope of the present invention and invention description content all still belongs in the scope that patent of the present invention contains.
