Peripheral device, authorized device, peripheral device management method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses a peripheral device, an authorization device, a peripheral device management method and a system. The invention completes the functions of authorization and equipment management through the establishment of communication between the peripheral hardware and the authorized equipment. Wherein the authorization device is a device independent of the host computer using the peripheral device. The present invention can achieve the ability to manage the peripherals in short-distance and remote conditions without depending on the application environment and network environment of the host device using the peripherals. Thereby reducing the steps in the use scenario and reducing the dependence on the use environment, realizing plug-and-management-and-use of peripherals anytime and anywhere.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technology for managing peripherals, specifically, a peripheral, an authorized device, and a method and system for managing peripherals. Background technique [0002] With the full popularity of computers and other intelligent hardware in various industries, peripherals that can be used in computers and intelligent hardware, including but not limited to storage devices, input and output devices, electrical equipment (such as USB reading lights, USB fans, etc.), Display equipment, scanning equipment, printing equipment, network equipment, encryption equipment, etc. also showed explosive growth. With the increasing integration of computers and their peripheral devices, the portability of peripheral devices continues to increase, and the external dimensions continue to shrink, resulting in an increasing risk of peripheral devices being lost inadvertently. Common phenomena such as the U Inserting the disk into a temporar...

Problems solved by technology

For usage scenarios often encountered in business scenarios, such as only allowing some files in the flash drive to be displayed, or permission control such as file modification and file copying is not allowed, it cannot be completed

[0009] 2) The physical keys of the flash disk must be operated when using it. If the flash disk is delivered to others for use, the user must physically touch the flash disk

[0012] 1) The computer using the IronKey peripheral must be connected to the Internet. If the computer is not connected to the Internet, the device cannot be authorized and managed

[0013] 2) The use of IronKey mobile storage requires installation of special drivers and applications on the computer that uses it, which not only brings barriers to system compatibility, but also complicates the user's use process. In order to use such external For example, in some strictly managed computer environments, users often do not install new devices or application permissions

This makes it necessary to log in to the management host to complete the management work. Therefore, if you cannot connect and log in to the management host, or the management host is offline, you cannot authorize and manage the device

[0015] 4) It is only applicable to the equipment of IronKey's own manufacturer, and cannot authorize and manage the equipment of other manufacturers, and does not have universal applicability
