Description

本発明は、パソコンや制御機器などの電子機器に装着されたコネクター(機器側のコネクター)からの各種データの漏洩やコネクター(機器側のコネクター)の悪戯を防止するのに使用するコネクターロック装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a connector lock device used to prevent leakage of various data from a connector (connector on the device side) attached to an electronic device such as a personal computer or a control device and mischief of the connector (connector on the device side). ..

今日、パソコンの普及が急速に進み、パソコン内部にはさまざまな情報が大量に記録、蓄積されており、他面で、これらの情報を盗み出すために、パソコンへの不正アクセス、情報漏洩があとを経たない現状である。
このパソコンへの不正アクセスの中でも、近年、問題の一つになっていたのが、USBポートへのアクセスによる情報の漏洩である。USBポートは、周知のとおり、USBメモリなどの外部記憶装置を接続すれば、パソコン内部のデータを簡単にコピーすることができるので、USBポートへのアクセスを阻止する措置が必要になっている。
Today, the spread of personal computers is rapidly advancing, and a large amount of various information is recorded and accumulated inside the personal computer. On the other hand, in order to steal this information, unauthorized access to the personal computer and information leakage may occur. The current situation is that it has not passed.
Among the unauthorized access to the personal computer, one of the problems in recent years is the leakage of information due to the access to the USB port. As is well known, the USB port can easily copy the data inside the personal computer by connecting an external storage device such as a USB memory, so it is necessary to take measures to prevent access to the USB port.

そこで、本願発明者は、USBポートに挿入ケースを差し込んでこれを塞ぎ、USBポートの外枠の任意の面のスリットに挿入ケースに設けたロック爪を係合させることによりロックして、情報の漏洩を防止するUSBポートロック装置を特許文献1により提案したところである。 Therefore, the inventor of the present application inserts an insertion case into the USB port to close it, and engages a lock claw provided in the insertion case with a slit on an arbitrary surface of the outer frame of the USB port to lock the information. Patent Document 1 has proposed a USB port lock device that prevents leakage.

ところが、近年、パソコンや制御機器などの電子機器の背面の「D-Sub(D-Subminiature)」と称されるコネクターや、「DVI(Digital Visual Interfase)」と呼ばれるコネクターからもまた、各種のデータが抜き取られることが分かってきた。
これらのコネクターはパソコンや制御機器の筐体に両端にねじ部を併設されて装備されるコネクター(機器側のコネクター)で、この機器側のコネクターにケーブル側のコネクターを接続し、このケーブル側のコネクターの両端に併設される各取付ねじを機器側のコネクター両端の各ねじ部に締結することにより機器側のコネクターとケーブル側のコネクターとの接続を固定する形式になっており、USBポートとは異なる構造のため、上記のロック装置では対応できない。
また、これまでのところ、この種のコネクターを塞ぎロックするコネクターロック装置は存在していないものとみられる。このため、かかるコネクターロック装置と関連性を有する技術の蓄積がなく、記載すべき先行技術文献はない。
However, in recent years, various data have also been obtained from the connector called "D-Sub (D-Subminiature)" on the back of electronic devices such as personal computers and control devices, and the connector called "DVI (Digital Visual Interfase)". Has been found to be extracted.
These connectors are connectors (connectors on the device side) that are installed on the housing of a personal computer or control device with screws on both ends. Connect the connector on the cable side to the connector on the device side, and connect the connector on the cable side to this cable side. By fastening each mounting screw attached to both ends of the connector to each screw part at both ends of the connector on the device side, the connection between the connector on the device side and the connector on the cable side is fixed. What is a USB port? Due to the different structure, the above locking device cannot handle it.
Also, so far, it seems that there is no connector lock device that closes and locks this type of connector. Therefore, there is no accumulation of technologies related to such a connector lock device, and there is no prior art document to be described.
