Abstract
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Diebstahlschutz für elektronische Geräte unter der Verwendung einer Zeitschalteinrichtung, in Verbindung mit einer Passwortabfrage, insbesondere von mobilen Geräten wie mobile Personalcomputer oder PDAs.The invention relates to theft protection for electronic devices using a time switch in conjunction with a password request, in particular from mobile devices such as mobile personal computers or PDAs.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Diebstahlschutz für elektronische Geräte unter der Verwendung einer Zeitschalteinrichtung, in Verbindung mit einer Passwortabfrage, insbesondere von mobilen Geräten wie mobile Personal Computer oder PDA's. The invention relates to theft protection for electronic devices using a timer, in connection with a password request, in particular from mobile devices such as mobile personal computers or PDAs.
In Bildungseinrichtungen werden zeitweise elektronische Geräte der Datenverarbeitung, an die Teilnehmer einer Bildungsveranstaltung verliehen. Als Diebstahlschutz kam dabei bisher ein einfacher Passwortschutz zum Einsatz. Das Passwort war dem jeweiligen Anwender bekannt und wirkte als Diebstahlschutz nur dann, wenn das elektronische Gerät mit Passwort vom Entleihenden nicht bewußt an einen Dritten weitergegeben wurde. In educational institutions, electronic systems are sometimes used Data processing equipment to the participants of a Educational event awarded. So far, theft protection came a simple password protection to use. The password was known to the respective user and acted as Theft protection only if the electronic device with password not deliberately passed on to a third party by the user has been.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, über den einfachen Passwortschutz hinaus, einen Passwortschutz vorzusehen, der auch dann wirkt, wenn das Passwort des einfachen Passwortschutzes durch den Entleihenden weitergegeben wird. The invention is based on the simple task Password protection beyond to provide password protection that works even if the password of the simple Password protection is passed on by the user.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß nach Ablauf einer definierten Zeit, der Betrieb des Gerätes gesperrt wird und nur durch die Eingabe eines Passwortes wieder freigegeben wird, und die Zeitschalteinrichtung durch die Eingabe des richtigen Passwortes zurückgesetzt wird. This object is achieved in that after a defined time, the operation of the device is blocked and only is released again by entering a password, and the timer device by entering the correct one Password is reset.
Es ist ein Diebstahlschutz für mobile elektronische Geräte vorgeschlagen, der über den einfachen Passwortschutz hinaus eine Zeitschalteinrichtung vorsieht, die nach Ablauf einer bestimmten Zeit das Gerät sperrt und das gesperrte Gerät nur durch denjenigen wieder aktiviert werden kann, dem das Passwort der Zeitschalteinrichtung bekannt ist. Im Regelfall ist dies nicht der Entleihende selbst, sondern ein Beauftragter der Bildungseinrichtung. It is an anti-theft device for mobile electronic devices suggested that beyond simple password protection provides a time switch which, after a locks the device for a certain time and the locked device only can be reactivated by the person who Password of the time switch device is known. As a rule is this is not the borrower himself, but an agent the educational institution.
Die Zeitschalteinrichtung wird vom Beauftragten der Bildungseinrichtung konfiguriert und mit einem Passwort geschützt. Ist das Ende der definierten Zeit erreicht, wird der Betrieb des Gerätes durch eine Sperre unmöglich und der Anwender bzw. der Entleihende kann das Gerät nicht mehr nutzen. Das Gerät muß zur Entsperrung dem Beauftragten der Bildungseinrichtung vorgelegt werden. The timer is operated by the representative of Educational institution configured and password protected. If the end of the defined time is reached, the operation will lock is impossible and the user or the user can no longer use the device. The device must be released to the representative of the educational institution be presented.
Der Diebstahlschutz für mobile elektronische Geräte kann
vorteilhafterweise in verschiedene Bereiche des Gerätes
integriert werden. Es bieten sich dazu an:
- 1. die Integration der Zeitschalteinrichtung in dem geräteeigenen BIOS,
- 2. die Integration der Zeitschalteinrichtung in der geräteeigenen Stromversorgung,
- 3. die Integration der Zeitschalteinrichtung in dem Betriebssystem des Gerätes.
- 1. the integration of the time switch device in the device's own BIOS,
- 2. the integration of the time switch device in the device's own power supply,
- 3. the integration of the time switch device in the operating system of the device.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung an Hand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels beschrieben. Es zeigt die einzige Figur ein Blockschaltdiagramm für einen Diebstahlschutz für mobile elektronische Geräte. In the following, the invention will be described with reference to one in the Drawing shown embodiment described. It shows the only figure is a block diagram for one Theft protection for mobile electronic devices.
Der Diebstahlschutz für mobile elektronische Geräte startet hierbei im Zeitpunkt T = 0, bei dem die Zeit T der Zeitschalteinrichtung abgelaufen und das Gerät gesperrt ist. Zur Reaktivierung des Geräts ist die Angabe eines Passwortes notwendig, bei Verwendung eines falschen Passwortes bleibt das Gerät gesperrt, so lange, bis das richtige Passwort eingegeben wird. Theft protection for mobile electronic devices starts here at time T = 0, at which time T is the Time switch device expired and the device is locked. to The device is reactivated by entering a password necessary, if an incorrect password is used, that remains Device locked until the correct password is entered.
Ist das korrekte Passwort eingegeben, wird das Gerät freigeschaltet und ein Zeitzähler für die Zeitschalteinrichtung wieder auf "Null" gesetzt. If the correct password is entered, the device will unlocked and a time counter for the time switch reset to "zero".
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Zeitschalteinrichtung wird das Gerät, für den illegalen Verkauf oder die bewußte Weitergabe durch den Entleiher an einen Dritten, uninteressant. Des weiteren ergibt sich die Gelegenheit, bei einer regelmäßigen Vorlage des Gerätes bei dem Beauftragten der Bildungseinrichtung die Soft- und Hardware des Gerätes zu aktualisieren. By the time switch device according to the invention Device, for the illegal sale or the conscious transfer by the borrower to a third party, uninteresting. Of Another opportunity arises at a regular Presentation of the device to the representative of Educational institution to update the software and hardware of the device.
