Abstract
Description
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method for enhancing the security of a computer using a portable device and reducing the energy consumed by the computer.
Generally, a computer provides a computer security function such as log on / off to prevent unauthorized use of a third party other than a predetermined user. Logon means that the computer is available, and logoff means that the computer is not available. When the computer is in the logoff state, the logon state is changed only when a user having a right to use the computer inputs a preset password. If the computer is not used for a predetermined period of time, .
However, this security scheme has a security problem because the third party can also use the computer when the third party can infer the password. As a method for solving such a problem, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2014-0137552 (published on Dec. 3, 2014) entitled " Security function providing method, terminal and recording medium " And a security process corresponding thereto is performed.
However, there is still a security problem with this security feature as the third party can unlock the password at once if the password has already been exposed to a third party.
In general, a computer operates in a power saving mode to save energy consumed by the computer when the computer is in a logoff state. However, since the power saving mode is performed in the logoff state, the energy saving effect decreases as the time for logoff is set longer. On the contrary, if the time for logoff is set to a short time, the energy saving effect is increased. However, since the user logs off without using the computer for a while, the number of times of inputting the password for logging on increases, . Accordingly, there is a need for a method that can enhance the security of a computer and effectively reduce the energy consumed by the computer.
Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] The present invention provides a system and an apparatus capable of enhancing the security of a computer and effectively saving energy consumed by a computer when a computer user is left out.

An authentication module included in a portable device including a communication module for short-range wireless communication authenticates a user who wishes to use the computer (S310). For example, the authentication module may authenticate a user who has a right to use the computer by using a wireless communication function provided in the portable device, or may perform user authentication based on a preset password for personal authentication . If the user authentication is successful, the authentication module can transmit and receive a short-range wireless signal to / from a security device mounted or connected to the computer using the communication module provided in the portable device (S320). The communication module may include, for example, a Bluetooth module, a WiFi module, an NFC module, and an RFID module.
For example, the authentication module can send and receive a Bluetooth signal including a code for pairing between the portable device and the security device through the Bluetooth module. Here, the code may include a user ID, an ID of the portable device, and a phone number of the portable device. In addition, the authentication module can transmit / receive a signal including a predetermined password (or code) via a WiFi module, an NFC module, an RFID module, or the like.
The security device may detect the presence of the portable device based on the local wireless signal transmitted from the portable device (S330). If the authentication of the portable device is successful based on a code (or a password) included in the short-range wireless signal, the security device performs a log-on / off function for security of the computer and energy consumed by the computer in cooperation with the portable device You can control the power saving mode to save.
For example, when a short-range wireless signal is detected from a portable device connected to the security device, the security device determines that the portable device exists in the vicinity of the security device, and when a password for log- It is possible to control the computer to be able to log on and control the timer for the power saving mode to start or restart (S340). However, when the short-range wireless signal is not received from the portable device for a predetermined time or longer, if the disconnection state with the portable device is maintained for a predetermined time or longer, the corresponding computer is controlled to be logged off and the timer expires, (Step S350).
On the other hand, the security device can store the history information of the log on / off of the corresponding computer in a memory connected to a separate battery, so that the history of the log on / off of the corresponding computer can be confirmed later.
In addition, when the strength of the short range wireless signal from the portable device becomes lower than a reference value in a state where interlocking between the security device and the portable device is maintained, the security device performs a user authentication The user can be informed that the security mode is operating by controlling the buzzer included in the security device to set a security of the computer and a signal indicating that the security is turned off.
The foregoing description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are intended to illustrate rather than limit the scope of the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. The scope of protection of the present invention should be construed according to the following claims, and all technical ideas within the scope of equivalents should be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention.
