Fig. 1 is a structural representation, shows that computer platform axternal communication port of the present invention licenses the application structure of interface and the basic structure of Object Oriented OO component model thereof.
Embodiment
Embodiment
Below be conjunction with figs., describe the method that computer platform axternal communication port of the present invention licenses and the embodiment of interface in detail.
Fig. 1 promptly shows the application structure of the interface 100 that computer platform axternal communication port of the present invention is licensed and the basic structure of Object Oriented OO component model (object-oriented componentmodel) thereof.As shown in the figure, be to carry in interface 100 practical applications that computer platform axternal communication port of the present invention is licensed to computer platform 10, desktop PC for example, notebook computer, Tablet PC, network workstation etc., and this computer platform 10 is equipped with axternal communication port 20, USB (universal serial bus) (Universal SerialBus for example, USB) communication port or live wire formula (Fire Wire) communication port, this axternal communication port 20 provided license function, judge whereby whether the user of this computer platform 10 has the right of axternal communication port 20 on this computer platform 10 of legal use; If have, then this axternal communication port 20 is set at upstate, the external communication function that the user can utilize this axternal communication port 20 to provide for example overlaps axternal communication port 20 to movable flashing dish 30; Otherwise, then this axternal communication port 20 being set at disabled status, the user only can use operating system and the application program on this computer platform 10, but the external communication function that can't utilize this axternal communication port 20 to provide.
In the specific implementation, the interface 100 that computer platform axternal communication port of the present invention is licensed can for example be realized with computer program, and the code of this computer program is integrated in BIOS (the Basic Input/Output System) boot program of computer platform 10.
The basic structure of the Object Oriented OO component model of the interface 100 that computer platform axternal communication port of the present invention is licensed (object-oriented component model) comprises at least: (a) start respond module 110; (b) the password load module 120; (c) the cryptographic check module 130; And (d) communication port is enabled module 140.
Start respond module 110 can respond this start incident 111 and send password input active information to password load module 120 when computer platform 10 starts (when just producing start incident 111 on this computer platform 10).
Password load module 120 can respond the password input active information that above-mentioned start respond module 110 is sent, display password data input interface on the screen 11 of this computer platform 10 (for example window or dialog box) allows the user input password (just sending password incoming event 121 by the user).
Cryptographic check module 130 can respond the password incoming event 121 that above-mentioned user controls, and the password of user's input and the legal authorization password list of building in advance 131 are compared, and checks whereby whether the password of these password incoming event 121 inputs is legal password; If then send the axternal communication port active information; If not, then send the axternal communication port blocking information.In addition, cryptographic check module 130 also can and then have timing function, can the keying material input interface be displayed on reach preset time length (for example being 1 minute) on this computer platform 10 after, if do not receive any password incoming event yet, (just the user of start needs to input password in this preset time length, otherwise password load module 120 sends the axternal communication port blocking information automatically after overtime then also to send the axternal communication port blocking information.
Communication port is enabled module 140 and can be sent under the situation of axternal communication port active information in above-mentioned cryptographic check module 130, and the axternal communication port 20 on this computer platform 10 is set at state of activation; Otherwise but send in cryptographic check module 130 under the situation of axternal communication port blocking information, then axternal communication port 20 is set at disabled status.
The method that computer platform axternal communication port of the present invention is licensed in actual application is: when the user will use this computer platform 10, then this user can make computer platform 10 carry out boot program (for example directly opening the power supply of this computer platform 10).This start incident 111 promptly can make start respond module 110 responsively send password input active information to password load module 120, make password load module 120 display password data input interface on the screen 11 of this computer platform 10, allow the user for example by keyboard 12 its legal passwords of input.After finishing the password input service, the user (just sends after the password incoming event 121), can make cryptographic check module 130 that the password of user's input is compared with the legal authorization password list of building in advance 131, check whereby whether the password that the user inputs is the password of legal authorization; If then send the axternal communication port active information; Otherwise if not, then send the axternal communication port blocking information.In addition, if the user does not import password in preset time length (for example being 1 minute), then password load module 120 also can send the axternal communication port blocking information after overtime.
After cryptographic check module 130 is sent the axternal communication port active information, can make communication port enable module 140 axternal communication port 20 on this computer platform 10 is set at state of activation, allow the user after computer platform 10 starts are finished, the external communication function that can utilize this axternal communication port 20 to provide for example overlaps axternal communication port 20 to movable flashing dish 30.
Otherwise, if cryptographic check module 130 is sent the axternal communication port blocking information, then it makes communication port enable module 140 axternal communication port 20 is set at disabled status, allow the user after computer platform 10 starts are finished, only can use operating system and application program on this computer platform 10, the external communication function that can't utilize this axternal communication port 20 to provide.
Generally speaking, the invention provides method and interface that a kind of computer platform axternal communication port of novelty is licensed, be applied in and carry, and this computer platform is equipped with axternal communication port, the axternal communication port on this computer platform is provided license function to computer platform; And when its characteristics are the computer platform start, adopt password input mode to judge whether the user of this computer platform has the right of the axternal communication port on this computer platform of legal use; If then allow the user after the computer platform start is finished, the external communication function that can utilize axternal communication port to provide; Otherwise, then allow the user after the computer platform start is finished, only can use operating system and application program on this computer platform, but the external communication function that can't utilize axternal communication port to provide.These characteristics can allow incorporated business or government bodies be used for preventing confidential data in its inner computer from unlawfully being copied by axternal communication port.Therefore the present invention has splendid progressive and practicality.
