Abstract

A method and system for sensing identity-distinguishable applied to a computer are provided. The computer includes a detecting unit and a logging-in/out unit. The detecting unit is used for detecting an identifying chip having an identifying data. The logging-in/out unit is used for logging in the computer system by a personal identification data matching with the identifying data. The identity-distinguishable sensing method includes the following steps. Firstly, the identifying chip is detected. Next, the computer is logged in by the personal identification data matching with the identifying data.

Claims

1. An identity-distinguishable sensing method for being applied in a computer, comprising the steps of:

detecting an identifying chip having an identifying data; and

logging in the computer by a personal identification data matching with the identifying data.

2. The identity-distinguishable sensing method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:

determining an on/off status of the computer, wherein the computer is actuated to enter a start-up status if the computer is determined as having been shut down.

3. The identity-distinguishable sensing method according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

determining a log-in status of the computer; and

determining whether a logged-in personal identification data matches with the identifying data if the computer is already logged in.

4. The identity-distinguishable sensing method according to claim 3, further comprising the steps of:

logging out the computer if the logged-in personal identification data does not match with the identifying data; and

logging in the computer by the personal identification data matching with the identifying data.

5. The identity-distinguishable sensing method according to claim 1, wherein the step of detecting the identifying chip comprises:

using a radio frequency sensor to sense whether a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip is located in a detecting area.

6. The identity-distinguishable sensing method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:

continually detecting the identifying chip.

7. The identity-distinguishable sensing method according to claim 6, further comprising step:

shutting down the computer if the identifying chip is not detected.

8. The identity-distinguishable sensing method according to claim 6, further comprising the step of:

logging out the computer if the identifying chip is not detected.

9. An identity-distinguishable computer, comprising:

a detecting unit used for detecting an identifying chip having an identifying data; and

a logging-in/out unit used for logging in the computer by a personal identification data matching with the identifying data.

10. The computer according to claim 9, further comprising:

a determining unit used for determining an on/off status of the computer as the identifying chip is detected by the detecting unit.

11. The computer according to claim 10, further comprising:

a switch unit used for actuating the computer to enter a start-up status as the determining unit determines that the computer is shut down.

12. The computer according to claim 11, wherein the switch unit is further used for shutting down the computer as the identifying chip is not detected by the detecting unit.

13. The computer according to claim 10, wherein the determining unit is further used for determining a log-in status of the computer as the computer is determined as having been started up.

14. The computer according to claim 13, wherein the determining unit is further used for determining whether a logged-in personal identification data matches with the identifying data as the computer is determined as having been logged in.

15. The computer according to claim 14, wherein the logging-in/out unit is further used for logging out the computer as the determining unit determines that the logged-in personal identification data does not match with the identifying data.

16. The computer according to claim 9, wherein the identifying chip is a radio frequency identification chip.

17. The computer according to claim 9, further comprising:

a storage unit used for storing a plurality of items of personal identification data matching with the identifying data.

18. An identity-distinguishable sensing system, comprising:

an identifying chip having an identifying data; and

a computer, comprising;

a detecting unit used for detecting the identifying chip; and

a logging-in/out unit used for logging in the computer by a personal identification data matching with the identifying data.

19. The identity-distinguishable sensing system according to claim 18, wherein the computer further comprises:

a determining unit used for determining an on/off status of the computer as the identifying chip is detected by the detecting unit.

20. The identity-distinguishable sensing system according to claim 19, wherein the computer further comprises:

a switch unit used for actuating the computer to enter a start-up status as the determining unit determines that the computer is shut down.

21. The identity-distinguishable sensing system according to claim 18, wherein the identifying chip is a radio frequency identification chip.

22. The identity-distinguishable sensing system according to claim 18, wherein the computer further comprises:

a storage unit used for storing a plurality of items of personal identification data matching with the identifying data.
