Access and usage control procedure for program-controlled equipment and devices e.g. computers, involves evaluating signals of selected equipment units and then generating access- or usage key-code from dynamic identification key-code

摘要

Program-controlled equipment and devices which operate with special handling instructions or programs for processing signals and data in order to carry out special tasks, such as a mechanical movement, or to organize and present information. Are prone to receiving an identification and access key (code) for unsanctioned multiple use of the equipment or device, as a result of the permanent connection of the identification key and the access key to the corresponding programs or as a result of the identification being generated and stored by the equipment or device itself. At any time-point, an identification key (code) is now generated, via device technology and software, by the analysis and evaluation of the signals of selected equipment and device units and then from the dynamic identification key (code) is generated the access- or usage-key (code), by the equipment or device, according to the manufacturer or supplier rules and regulations, for storage in its electronic memory.
