Abstract
The invention relates to a contactless log-on system for computers, comprising a data carrier containing an ID code, a code detecting device to detect said code and a transmitter device sending out an ID signal to the detecting device. The transmitter device section of the transponder system is characterized in that the detecting device is arranged in a computer input/output device or a mouse pad and is connected to the computer interface in such a way that no additional computer interface is used. The log-on system also comprises a contactless data carrier and a code detecting device, preferably a transceiver antenna, which is connected to the computer and which communicates in a contactless manner with the data carrier. In order to identify the user, the contactless data carrier which is located on the wrist is brought into the range of the antenna by moving it close to said antenna. The data carrier's built-in transmission system is activated by the field of the antenna and sends out an ID code. The antenna subsequently receives the log-on signal (ID code) which is transmitted to the computer.
Description
Contact-less log-on system for computers The invention concerns a contact-less log-on system for computers, in particular for identification of the user, having a data carrier as a storage medium for a password (identification code) and a transmission device in order to gain access to the computer.
In the case of modern operating systems such as for example WINDOWS
NT. WINDOWS 95. NOUELL, UNIX etc, log-on with user name and password is necessary in order to gain access to the computer. In addition, further passwords are required for many scientific programs or in dealing with confidential information such as for example telebanking. In practice therefore i t i s a 1 most i mposs i bl a to make a note of a 11 passwords and keep them completely secret on a long-term basis.
Therefore various system manufacturers offer log-on devices which operate with magnetic cards or contact chip cards and which facilitate identification at the computer. Those systems however generally presuppose modifications to i:he computer or expansion thereof.
The risk involved in systems of that kind is that any person who is in possession of the log-on card can gain access to the computer. With the known card-form data carriers there is a relatively high danger of loss or misuse by third parties as data carriers of that kind can be relatively easily forgotten, lost or stolen.
Such a system is disclosed in DE 43 26 735 A1 which serves to safeguard a computer installation from unauthorised access. In that case, a chip card reading device is arranged in the casing of a mouse so that there i s no need for a separate i tem of equi pment i n order to carry out a 1 og-on procedure. That arrangement however suffers from the above-indicated disadvantages such as for example the loss of the chip card.
Japanese patent application No 5-41 226 discloses a computer security system which operates in a contact-less mode and which blocks access to the computer when the user moves away from the work station. The system includes a transponder which is incorporated into the nameplate or name tag. pass or the 1 i ke of the user and whi ch emi is an i denti fi cati on code to a recei vi ng AMENDED PAGE

dev i ce . The rece-i vi ng dev i ce i s i n the form of an i ndependent uni t whi ch i s provided for the external connection to a specific interface already present on the computer. Besides the amount of space required for setting up the additional item of equipment, a specific interface is additionally occupied, which is therefore no longer available for other items of equipment and devices.
European patent EP-A-0 496 344 discloses a computer log-on system as set forth in the classifying portion of claim 1. In that system the detection device is in the form of an antenna which extends in a substantially areal configuration and which is arranged in a cover or a support of the keyboard. The construction illustrated therein includes with that support a farther additional member for which furthermore an additional interface must be set up.
DE 40 15 482 Cl also discloses a system of the general kind set forth for the identification of users on computers. In that system the detection device which receives the identification signal emitted by the transmitting device is for example incorporated into a desk support. In that arrangement the detection device is connected to an electronic unit which as a special processor card including the associated security program occupies its own expansion slot in the computer.
Therefore the object of the present invention is to provide a contact-less log-on system for computers. which can be subsequently fitted as inexpensively as possible and which does not require any additional space.
A further object of the invention is to provide a contact-less log-on process which is as simple as possible and which affords a high level of security.
That objeca is attained by the features recited in the independent claims.

mouse support and is plugged into an interface of the computer so that no additional interface of the computer has to be occupied. A computer input/output unit which is equipped in that way such as for example keyboard or a mouse and in particular such a mouse support can be inexpensively retro=fitted.
The log-on system according to the invention further includes a contact-less data carrier which is preferably disposed at or in a watch and a code detection device preferably a transmitting/receiving antenna whi ch i s connected to the computer and communi Gates i n a contact-1 ess mode with the data carrier. For identification of the user, the contact-less data carrier which is to be found at the wrist is brought into the region of i nfl uence of the antenna by bei ng moved i nto the proxi mi ty of the antenna .
The transmission system which is incorporated in the data carrier, for example a transpc>nder, is activated by the field of the antenna and thereby emits the identification code. The antenna thereupon receives the log-on signal (identific:ation code) which is transmitted into the computer. That terminates the log-on procedure.
The transmission system in the data carrier, in accordance with the invention, may use any desired wire-less transmission technology. It as thus also possible for, example to provide for infra-red transmission, ultrasound transmission and the like, in each case with suitable transmitting and receiving devices.
The data carrier according to the invention includes a storage medium for storing the identification code, a laser-programmed storage means preferably being used. The programmed information can be predetermined for example by a laser-programmed serial number which affords the advantage that it can already be inserted at the time of production, thereby excluding multiple allocations. That stored number is transmitted upon computer log-on by the transponder system and detected by the antenna.
The transmission system disposed in the data carrier is preferably an electromagnetic t;ransponder system which is activated by the energy of the antenna and then emits the ID-code.

An even hi gher stage of securi ty i s afforded by a 1 og-on system wi th variable ID-code which changes automatically for example at each log-on operation. For that purpose, the password is firstly read out of a programmable storage means or memory, as described above. Then, software in the computer, preferably on the random principle, produces a new password whi ch i s sent by the antenna to the data carri er and stored i n the storage means thereof. At; the next log-on operation, that new password is compared to the new password stored in the computer. Misuse which has occurred in the meantime can be 'immediately discovered if the password in the data carrier is no longer in conformity with that of the computer as in that case the computer has already produced a new different password. The following example makes the procedure involved clear. The number 15 is stored both in the data carrier and also in the computer. During log-on the number 15 is read out of the storage means in the data carrier and transmitted to the computer. After a piece of software has compared the two numbers and. upon conformity. has enabled access, the computer produces a new random number, for example 82, <jnd passes it to the data carrier, in the storage means of wh i ch i t i s stored . In i:he next 1 og-on operati on the number 82 i s compared in the computer.
The code detection device according to the invention is preferably plugged into an existing interface of the computer together with an input/output unit so that no further interface is lost for other applications. The antenna can be connected to the computer for example together with the mouse, the monitor or the keyboard.
The log-on system according to the invention requires the smallest amount of space on the working surface for the antenna according to the invention is forrned as an integral component of the computer. Particularly suitable for that purpose is the mouse support in which the antenna can be simply disposed. In this case the mouse support would be connected to the mouse port of the computer. The antenna therefore does not require either an additional interface or port, or any further space on the working surface.
The mouse is then connected for example to a plug on the mouse support.
Accordingly the log-on system affords the advantage that it can be easily AMENDED PAGE
retro-fitted and the PC only has to be supplemented by a mouse support, a software package and the data carrier.
Similarly it is possible to envisage a configuration in which the antenna is pluggec: as a separate unit into the keyboard or monitor interface 5 or port or is already installed for example in a special keyboard. An antenna which i~; installed in a computer monitor would also be a possibility.
The identification procedure by means of a contact-less data carrier preferably takes place in a similar manner to identification by means of a password. For log-on on the first occasion, the password is inputted twice or the contact-less data carrier is twice moved past the antenna. The change i n the password c~3n be effected for exampl a by movi ng the of d contact-1 ess data carrier past, followed by the new data carrier, and so forth.
For uses in which the highest level of security is necessary, in addition to the contact-less identification it is also possible to apply another known log-on procedure, such as for example the input of a password.
Embodiments according to the invention are described in greater detail hereinafter by way of example with reference to Figures 1 and 2 in which:
Figure 1 shows a diagrammatic structure of the log-on system according to the invention, and Figure 2 shows a data carrier according to the invention fixed to the strap or bracelet of a watch.
