Memory lock system with manipulatable input device and method of operation thereof

摘要

A memory lock system is provided that includes: providing a controller; providing a connector connected to the controller for providing data to the controller; providing a memory connected to the controller for receiving and storing information from the controller; and manipulating an input device connected to the controller to unlock or lock data transfer between the connector and the controller, in the controller, between the connector and the memory, or in the memory.

1. A method of operation of a memory lock system comprising:
providing a micro-controller having an internal storage; providing a connector connected to the micro-controller for providing data to the micro-controller from a connector to an external computer; providing a memory connected to the micro-controller and configured for receiving and storing information provided to the memory exclusively from the micro-controller; and while the micro-controller is in a data transfer locked state where access to the memory is prevented by the micro-controller and at the same time access by the external computer to the micro-controller is prevented by the micro-controller, mechanically manipulating an electromechanical input device that is connected to the micro-controller to thereby input a combination into the micro-controller for thereby unlocking data transfer between the micro-controller and the memory and for also thereby unlocking data transfer between the micro-controller and the external computer then connected to the micro-controller by way of the connector so that when the data transfer is so unlocked, the micro-controller is made accessible to the then connected external computer for enabling a transferring of information between the memory and the computer to which the memory lock system is attached by way of the connector, wherein the input device can be further mechanically manipulated after the unlocking for inputting a new combination to change the combination stored in the internal storage of the micro-controller and used to unlock the data transfer.
