Abstract

The present invention targets at providing a digital key featuring encryption and web guide. When users electrically connect the digital key to a computer, the computer can automatically execute to activate a browser program and automatically key in (simultaneously read) a specific web address and specific log-on data without users'"'"' operation so as to prevent the attack tricks of unscrupulous persons from stealing information at user end and secure digital information security at user end. Additionally, users don'"'"'t need to memorize specific log-on data and won'"'"'t forget or lose log-on information, thereby rendering sufficient convenience.

Claims

1. A digital key featuring encryption and web guide electrically connected to a computer and comprising:

a USB communication interface unit adapted to electrically connect with a socket of the computer;

a memory unit provided to read or write digital data and having a web address and specific log-on data; and

a control unit electrically connected between the memory unit and the USB communication interface unit for executing commands and controlling to input and output data and having an HID (human interface device) module and an automatic key-in module;

wherein when the USB communication interface unit is electrically connected with the socket of the computer, the control unit sends an HID connection request to the computer, the automatic key-in module is then used to activate a default browser program and sequentially key in the web address stored in the memory unit, after a web page corresponding to the web address is opened, the specific log-on data is keyed in a hidden column of the web page.

2. The digital key as claimed in claim 1, wherein the specific log-on data are generated by a compiler program and have a user ID and a password.

3. A digital key featuring encryption and web guide electrically connected to a computer and comprising:

a USB communication interface unit adapted to electrically connect with a socket of the computer;

a memory unit provided to read or write digital data and having;

a web address;

specific log-on data; and

an executable program executed to simultaneously call a default browser and read the web address and the specific log-on data;

a control unit electrically connected between the memory unit and the USB communication interface unit for executing commands and controlling to input and output data;

wherein when the USB communication interface unit is electrically connected the socket of the computer, a virtual device module of the control unit sends a virtual device connection request to the computer so that the computer automatically executes the executable program, the executable program has a step of activating a default browser program and simultaneously reading the web address and the specific log-on data.

4. The digital key as claimed in claim 3, wherein the specific log-on data are generated by a compiler program and have a user ID and a password.

5. The digital key as claimed in claim 3, wherein the virtual device module is one of a CD player, a hard drive and a floppy drive.
