Definitions

  • Field of the invention generally speaking is the field of electrical engineering and it specifically relates to the complex electronic system allowing the permanent locating of the position of laptop computers and implementation of the process of protection of data in them.
  • the invention is marked with the basic classification symbol H04M 11/04 that defines telephone communication systems combined with alarm systems, as well as with the secondary classification symbol G08B 21/20 that relates to alarms reacting to the presence and absence of persons or G08B 21/24 defining warning alarms.
  • the subject device resolves the problem of protection of data in case of laptop computer disappearance, it can be marked with yet another secondary classification symbol A45C 13/24 defining alarms against losses.
  • the art problem resolved by the invention consists of the following: How to design a device constantly giving the owner of the laptop computer the position of his computer and in case of loss or theft, as required, allows locking or destruction of data in it and such a device should be small by dimensions and should not reduce laptop computer performances, or rather the process of locating and giving commands for locking and destruction of data should be simple, quick, automatic and safe and it should function in all areas covered by GSM network and (A)GPS.
  • Laptop computers are increasingly becoming dominant and used allowing their owners rational time use. Despite small dimensions they now have all functions as desktop computers so that they contain various data in the fields of science, technology, finance and even defense, or data representing business, military, political and other secrets and therefore they should be adequately safeguarded.
  • BIOS boot password and supervisor password
  • the tracking problem is of a technical nature, first of all because the computer can be tracked only if connected to Internet and only via the IP address with a note that the tracking system operates in some countries only; - various alarm types are effective only in cases when the device is satisfactorily near the owner so that he/she can receive a warning and take specific measures for computer and data protection.
  • the device based on commands by the laptop owner, after a simple process, performs instant locking or destruction of all data in the computer, or, as required, destroys the hard disk.
  • the process of laptop protection that together with the subject device is this whole invention, is allowed with suitable software tracking operation of the device in its passive state (when the laptop is with the owner) and activates operation of the device warning the owner, implements location commands and as required data protection commands.
  • Fundamental nature of the invention is also reflected in the way of device application that for the protection of laptops and data in them is implemented through the following process:
  • a sensor assembly for alarm activation reacts based on the separation of the laptop and its owner
  • An assembly for sending warning signals about theft or loss of laptops through GPS, AGPS and GSM sends data about this to the operative center and to the owner of the missing laptop;
  • the operative center sends a message or a call to the computer owner to his mobile phone about the current position of the missing device;
  • the owner decides whether to implement a process of data protection or thinks that the laptop is in a safe position
  • the owner sends a command via his mobile phone, or with a simple call locks data, brings the device back in the passive state or as required destroys data in it;
  • the operative center after the planned time directly activates the assembly for data protection after which locking of the hard disk is done or its destruction.
  • the device in respect of other known and applied solutions, has more advantages of which the most important are the following:
  • the device is simple, reliable and has a module structure providing compatibility for building in new elements improving its hardware and software;
  • FIG. 1 shows a simplified diagrammatic display of device functioning that disables access to laptop data in case of their loss or theft.
  • - Figure 2 shows a simplified diagrammatic display of device functioning that disables access to laptop data in case of their loss or theft with the integrated control module in the hard disk.
  • FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the device according to the invention in which (A)GPS and GSM functions are integrated in the BIOS hard disk.
  • FIG. 4 shows the method of connecting the control module with other device assemblies according to the subject invention.
  • the device 1 for disabling access to laptop data in case of their loss pr theft consists of the following: assembly 2 of sensors alarming the forbidden separation of the laptop from the owner, assembly 3 for communication with the operative center 8 and the location of the current position of laptops made of GSM module 4 and (A)GPS mosule 5, assembly 6 providing the function of data protection on hard disk 9, control module 10 and autonomous supply battery 7.
  • control module 10 which in this example of the invention is made as a microcontroller AT89C55WD, according to the author's idea, consist of the following: a. Signal processing, SMS messages or calls b. SMS message sending to the center c. SMS message sending to the mobile phone.
  • Data protection in the process of communication is realized with the user name, password, telephone number and PIN code.
  • Feeding protection is performed with a special safeguard of the battery 7 (physical locking, etc.).
  • Device operation is provided by a special software package compatible with the operative center software to which the device is connected and is adjustable to changes associated with technology development (A)GPS and GSM networks, mobile telephones and new laptops.
  • A technology development
  • GSM Global System for Mobile communications
  • Device 1 for laptop data protection in case of their loss or theft, as seen in figure 3, is possible to be made so that it consists of the assembly 2 of sensors for alarming forbidden separation of laptop computers from their owners, the assembly 3 for communication with the operative center 8 and the location of the current position of laptop computers consisting of GSM module 4 and (A)GPS module 5, the assembly 6 for providing the function of data protection on the hard disk 9, control module 10 and the battery for autonomous supply 7 when functions allowing communication through (A)GPS and GSM networks are integrated in the laptop hard disk BIOS (9).
  • Process of laptop data protection according to example 2 is carried out based on the same procedure as in example 1.
