Abstract

The invention relates to an anti-theft device for electronic devices, especially mobile devices such as a personal computer or PDA's, using a time switching device in connection with a password request.

Description

移动电子设备的防盗Anti-theft of mobile electronic devices

本发明涉及在口令检索与定时装置结合应用的情况下用于电子设备、特别是如移动个人计算机或PDA的移动设备的防盗。The present invention relates to the protection against theft of electronic equipment, in particular mobile equipment such as mobile personal computers or PDAs, in the case of a combination of password retrieval and timing means.

在教育机构中数据处理的电子设备暂时租给举办教育活动的用户。对此采用目前简单的口令保护用于防盗。如果借方没有故意把电子设备与口令一起转交给第三者，则该口令对相应的用户是已知的并且该口令当然仅仅用作防盗。Electronic equipment for data processing in educational institutions is temporarily rented to users conducting educational events. Adopt present simple password protection for this to be used for anti-theft. If the borrower has not intentionally handed over the electronic device together with the password to a third party, then the password is known to the respective user and of course only serves as protection against theft.

本发明基于以下技术问题，超越简单的口令保护，预先规定一个口令保护，即使通过借方告知简单口令保护的口令，则该口令保护也仍然起作用。The present invention is based on the following technical problems, surpasses the simple password protection, predefines a password protection, even if the password of the simple password protection is notified by the borrower, then the password protection still works.

由此解决该技术问题，即在经过预定时间之后禁止设备运行并且仅仅输入口令该设备才能再度正常运行，通过输入正确的口令复位定时装置。This solves the technical problem of disabling the operation of the device after a predetermined time has elapsed and enabling normal operation of the device again only by entering a password, by resetting the timer by entering the correct password.

建议一个用于移动电子设备的防盗装置，其超越简单的口令保护设置一个定时装置，该定时装置在经过确定时间之后禁止该设备，仅仅通过已知定时装置的口令的人员才能重新激活被禁止的设备。在通常情况下该人员不是借方本身而是教育机构的代表。Suggest an anti-theft device for mobile electronic equipment that goes beyond simple password protection by setting a timer that disables the device after a certain time has elapsed, reactivating the disabled only by a person who knows the password of the timer equipment. Normally this person is not the borrower itself but a representative of the educational institution.

教育机构的代表配置定时单元并且以口令字保护。如果达到限定的时间，则由于禁止而使设备不能运行并且用户或者借方不能再使用该设备。为了开启必须把该设备送交教育机构的代表。A representative of the educational institution configures the timing unit and protects it with a password. If the defined time has elapsed, the device is rendered inoperable due to the prohibition and the user or borrower can no longer use the device. In order to switch on the device must be delivered to a representative of the educational institution.

用于移动电子设备的防盗装置可以有益地集成在设备的不同区域。对此建议：An anti-theft device for a mobile electronic device can advantageously be integrated in different areas of the device. Suggestions for this:

1.定时装置集成在设备自己的BIOS内，1. The timing device is integrated in the device's own BIOS,

2.定时装置集成在设备自己的电源内，2. The timing device is integrated in the power supply of the equipment itself,

3.定时装置集成在设备的操作系统内。3. The timing device is integrated in the operating system of the device.

下面根据在附图中示出的实施例描述本发明。唯一的图指出了用于移动电子设备的防盗装置的方框图。The invention is described below on the basis of the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings. The only figure indicates a block diagram of an anti-theft device for mobile electronic equipment.

对此在时刻T＝0启动用于移动电子设备的防盗装置，在该时刻已经过了定时装置的时间T并且禁止该设备。为了再激活该设备必须输入口令，在使用错误口令的情况下设备保持禁止，直到输入正确的口令。For this purpose, the antitheft device for the mobile electronic device is activated at time T=0, at which point the time T of the timer device has elapsed and the device is disabled. In order to reactivate the device, a password must be entered; in the case of an incorrect password, the device remains disabled until the correct password is entered.

如果输入正确的口令则释放设备，定时装置的计时器再度被置零。If the correct password is input, the device is released, and the timer of the timing device is reset to zero again.

通过根据本发明的定时装置该设备不关心借用者非法出售或故意转交给第三者的情况。此外在定期呈送设备时在教育机构授权的情况下可以更新设备的软件和硬件。By means of the timing device according to the invention the device is not concerned about illegal sale by the borrower or intentional transfer to a third party. Furthermore, the software and hardware of the device can be updated with the authorization of the educational institution when the device is regularly presented.
