Description

1. Intelligent circuit breaker for computer equipment

2. Access security and simultaneous commissioning for electrical devices C secondary claim )

The invention relates to an intelligent circuit breaker that enables authorized commissioning of a computer and intelligent access control to software on computers in one step.

The components of the invention are a specifically shaped memory plug-in module and a socket with dimensions such that only the appropriate memory plug-in module can be inserted in the correct position.

After inserting the memory module, the switch for commissioning the device is turned on.

The plug-in module is equipped with a memory module and the socket contains a reading unit for reading and processing the data on the memory module.

The invention relates to the simultaneous commissioning and access control of electrical devices. It works as explained under 1. but without software access control.

(Secondary claim)

Intelligent key switch according to claim 1

The external shape of the memory module and the socket are designed in such a way that only the corresponding memory module can be inserted in the correct position.
When the memory plug-in module fully engages, the opposite function of the main switch is achieved (open, closed). The memory plug-in module can be completely pulled out or left plugged into the socket after the switching function has been changed.

If this application is required, the memory of the plug-in module is equipped with an EEPROM, like a chip card. The socket contains a transmission device for accessing data from the EEPROM.

Securing and commissioning according to claim 2

The external shape of the plug-in module and the socket are designed in such a way that only the corresponding plug-in module can be inserted in the correct position.

When the plug-in module clicks into place completely, the opposite function of the main switch is achieved (open, closed).

The plug-in module can be completely removed or left plugged into the socket after the switching function has been changed.

State of the art

Computer systems are usually put into operation with a switch that anyone can activate.

Access control to the device is not possible in this case.

Illegal access to a computer can only be prevented with an additional key.

Specific access control to certain software areas is regulated by a software program using passwords.

problem

The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem that no controlled start-up of a computer and no software-area-specific access control to a computer is possible in one function.

There is therefore no way to prevent access by inexperienced persons immediately when the device is switched on and at the same time for certain software areas

Furthermore, the practice of password access to certain software areas by requiring the user to enter passwords should be eliminated.

There are also time advantages.

With this invention, the user’s ability to remember things is also not important, as the corresponding functions are taken over by the integrated EEPROM.

There is also no possibility of putting an electrical device into operation using a specifically shaped, removable plug-in module.

The plug-in module can remain in the socket or be removed completely. The switch function is only achieved after a slight resistance has been overcome when the plug is pushed in.

Invention.

The invention relates to the commissioning of an electrical device with the aid of a specially shaped plug-in module.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a synthesis between controlled commissioning of a computer exclusively for authorized persons who are in possession of the specially shaped memory plug-in module

and specific access options to software areas, combined in one function.

Title of the application :

Electrical equipment, in particular:

Computer with intelligent protection switch.

Formulation of the claims :

Claim 1.)

"Electrical device, characterized in that it has a specially shaped socket on the device as an operating switch, into which a suitable plug-in module can be inserted for the switching process."

Claim 2.)

"Intelligent electrical operating switch according to claim 1, in particular for computers.

Characterized in that the device to be put into operation contains a reading device in the socket.

A memory module, the content of which can be freely defined, attached to the plug-in module can be read out for applications of certain software after the device has been put into operation by the specific plug-in module."

Claims (1)

Advantageous effects of the invention The invention achieves in the specified application that absolute access control is possible without any problems. With the specifically shaped memory plug-in module, the electrical device can only be put into operation by authorized persons. Furthermore, the integrated EEPROM, which is read when the memory module is inserted into a computer, allows the relevant user access to the specific software area.
