Abstract

Self-contained data storage and synchronization system with starter chip card, consisting of memory module, microcontroller, secure element and interfaces for USB-C and / or Bluetooth.

Description

Technical field:

[0001] Digital data storage, security infrastructure, self-sufficiency systems, hardware-based authentication. The invention relates to a completely self-sufficient, cloud-free system that is controlled via a starter chip card and authorizes devices, data, and controls. State of the art / Initial situation:

[0002] Current systems store data centrally in the cloud. Users have no physical control over their data, high costs are incurred through subscriptions, and security risks exist due to centralized storage.

[0003] Existing physical storage media (USB stick, external hard drive) do not offer hardware-based security and device authorization, nor multi-device control. Purpose of the invention:

[0004] Provision of a self-sufficient system that: *Data is stored offline *Devices (PC, mobile phone, drones, vehicles) authorized *Enables synchronization between devices *Uses starter chip card as secure access control *Can store large amounts of technical data *Scalable and modular *Works independently of external cloud providers Solution approach:

[0005] Hardware components: SSD / flash memory, microcontroller, USB-C / Bluetooth interface, secure element for starter chip card *Standalone storage: Data remains locally on the device, synchronizing directly between authorized devices. *Access control: Only users and devices authorized with a starter chip card *Scalability: Modules can be expanded or duplicated. *Compatibility: PC, mobile phone, drones, vehicles, machine controls, AI applications Advantages of the invention: 1. Complete data sovereignty without the cloud 2. Reduction of ongoing costs through the elimination of subscription models 3. Security through physical release 4. Easy expandability and modularity 5. Suitable for private users, industry and public authorities 6. Supports autonomy of drones, vehicles, machine controls and AI applications. Types of embodiment: *Stationary device (HomeCloud module) *Mobile device (pocket module) *Vehicle-integrated module *Drone-integrated module *Industrial control module *Cl accelerator / computing node module

[0006] All variants use the same security core. Functional logic: 1. Insert card / contactless presentation - Starter chip card verified 2. Activation - Device, data or function becomes active. 3. Access is logged (locally, no external storage). 4. Usage - Reading, writing, and synchronizing data, controlling devices 5. Withdrawal - Removal of the card - Device immediately deactivated
