Embodiment Construction

[0022] Before describing in detail specific embodiments of the present invention, the underlying concepts described in the examples need to be clarified.

[0023] When a client personal computer (also called client PC) is connected to the authenticated server through a network such as LAN, it can be used normally. In one embodiment, when the client PC is taken out of the environment, its system startup will be disabled. This boot prohibition function is realized by a BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) in the client PC and a program managed by an operating system (OS). The BIOS performs processes such as checking the expiration date. Other processes, such as information acquisition and date update through communication with the server, are performed by programs managed by the OS. In this way, the start-up prohibition function can be easily realized.

[0024] The server sets an expiration date in the client PC. Whenever a client PC connects to the server, the server sends the ...

Abstract

An information processing device, the device comprising a communication unit (21) configured to communicate with a management device that manages the information processing device; a management unit (211) configured to receive information from the management device based on the communication unit to manage the available time of the information processing device; and a control unit (22) configured to limit the use of the information processing device based on the available time managed by the management unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device facilitating an anti-theft mechanism of a client personal computer provided on a network such as a LAN. Background technique [0002] There are various methods of securing data in personal computers provided on a network such as a LAN. [0003] The Kensington lock anti-theft mechanism is an anti-theft mechanism of a main part of a client's personal computer (client PC). The Kensington lock is effective for restricting use of the personal computer by an external user (not a specific third party). However, the Kensington lock is difficult to use in a normal usage environment because it must be accompanied by a physical binding. If the Kensington lock is applied on a small device that is easy to carry, such as a mobile PC, its locking mechanism will be complicated and cause problems in normal use. In addition, the protection of the equipment itself needs to be considered in addition to e...
