Abstract
This invention describes a hand held digital transmitter to transmit a signal as light (visible and invisible) or sound (audible and inaudible) or other digitized code for alphanumeric in any language, special characters or symbols or graphic or pictures or any combination thereof, to the computer system that is equipped with a compatible digital receiver and transmitter card. This card can transmit and receive the said signals and codes and a software driver and/or firmware for the operation, management and maintenance of this security system. Upon verification, of the transmitted code, by the computer system, access is granted. The computer system then transmits a randomly selected new code of any combination of the codes or signals stated above to the transmitter for storage in the said transmitter. The said transmission from the computer cannot be stored in any other hand held transmitter located within range of the transmission.

5. A system for providing access authorization to a processor, comprising:
-
a security device for transmitting a current signal upon user command once only along a communications interface and for receiving a subsequent signal along the communications interface; and security means associated with the processor for; a. precluding user access to the processor until the security means receives a signal along the communications interface that matches the current signal; and b. thereafter generating and transmitting along the communications interface the subsequent signal for authorizing a subsequent user access of the processor. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of providing access authorization to a processor, comprising the acts of:
-
a. providing to a user a security device; b. restricting access to the processor by the user until a security means associated with the processor receives a signal along a communications interface that matches the current signal; c. upon user input at the security device, transmitting once only the current signal along the communications interface; d. thereafter generating at the security means a subsequent signal for authorizing a subsequent user access of the processor; and e. the security means transmitting the subsequent signal to the security device along the communications interface.

20. A security device for providing access authorization to a processor, adapted to transmit, upon user command, a current signal once only along a communications interface and thereafter to receive a subsequent signal along the communications interface, and;
whereby security means associated with the processor may; a. preclude user access to the processor until the security means receives a signal along the communications interface that matches the current signal; and b. thereafter generate and transmit along the communications interface the subsequent signal for authorizing a subsequent user access of the processor.

21. A security means associated with a processor for:
-
a. precluding user access to the processor until the security means receives a current signal along a communications interface that matches a current signal; and b. thereafter generating and transmitting along the communications interface a subsequent signal for authorizing a subsequent user access of the processor; whereby a security device configured to transmit, upon user command, the current signal once only along the communications interface and thereafter to receive the subsequent signal along the communications interface may provide access authorization to the processor.
