Abstract

A data security system, and a method of operation thereof, includes a data security transceiver or receiver; an authentication subsystem operatively connected to the data security transceiver or receiver; and a storage subsystem connected to the authentication subsystem.

Claims

1. A method of operation of a data security system comprising:

providing a mobile device with a data security system application for connectivity with the data security system;

starting the data security system application; and

maintaining connectivity of the data security system with the mobile device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein maintaining the connectivity maintains the connectivity when the data security system is within a predetermined proximity to the mobile device.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein maintaining the connectivity maintains the connectivity when the data security system is within a predetermined proximity to the mobile device for a predetermined period of time.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein establishing the connectivity includes using bi-directional communication between the data security system and the mobile device.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein establishing the connectivity includes using uni-directional communication between the data security system and the mobile device.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising communication between the mobile device with the data security system application and a server containing a user management database.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising providing security information in a security controller in the data security system.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

providing a server with identification of a specified data security system;

providing the data security system with a specific identification; and

unlocking the data security system when the identification of the specified data security system is the same as the specific identification of the data security system.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein providing a mobile device with the data security system application provides a data security system administrator'"'"'s application and further includes:

setting an administrator'"'"'s password in the mobile device;

transmitting the administrator'"'"'s password from the mobile device to the data security system; and

setting the administrator'"'"'s password in the data security system and unlocking the data security system.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

providing an unlock request along with a mobile device identification from the mobile device to the data security system; and

receiving the unlock request in the data security system and unlocking the data security system.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

entering a user name or password in the mobile device;

determining when the user name or password is valid in a server after receiving the user name or password from the mobile device;

communicating from the server to the mobile device when the user name or password is valid; and

communicating from the mobile device to the data security system when the user name or password is valid to unlock the data security system.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

entering a user name or password in the mobile device;

determining when the user name or password is valid in a server after receiving the user name or password from the mobile device;

communicating from the server to the mobile device when the user name or password is valid;

determining when the identification number is valid in the server after receiving identification number from the mobile device; and

unlocking the data security system through the mobile device when the server determines the identification number is valid.

13. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

providing a valid location of the mobile device to a server;

determining in the server when the mobile device is in the valid location; and

unlocking the data security system through the mobile device when the server determines the mobile device is in the valid location.

14. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

providing a current time of operation for the data security system at the mobile device to a server;

determining in the server when the mobile device is within the current time; and

unlocking the data security system through the mobile device when the server determines the mobile device has the current time.

15. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

providing a command in a server;

providing the command to the mobile device from the server in response to a command waiting signal from the mobile device; and

performing the command in the data security system through the mobile device when the command is provided from the server.

16. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

providing a change password command in a server;

providing the change password command to the mobile device from the server in response to a change password signal from the mobile device; and

unlocking the data security system with the changed password in the data security system.

17. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising connecting the data security system to a host computer for power and to be discoverable by the host computer.

18. A data security system comprising:

a data security transceiver or receiver;

an authentication subsystem operatively connected to the data security transceiver or receiver; and

a storage subsystem connected to the authentication subsystem.

19. The system as claimed in claim 18 further comprising a security controller connected to the data security transceiver or the receiver and to the authentication subsystem.

20. The system as claimed in claim 18 further comprising a mobile device having a data security system application operating with the security controller for maintaining connectivity when the data security system is within a predetermined proximity to the mobile device.

21. The system as claimed in claim 18 further comprising a mobile device having a data security system application operating with the security controller for maintaining connectivity when the data security system is within a predetermined proximity to the mobile device for a predetermined period of time.

22. The system as claimed in claim 18 further comprising a mobile device having a mobile transceiver or receiver for maintaining connectivity includes using bi-directional communication between the data security system and the mobile device.

23. The system as claimed in claim 18 further comprising a mobile device having a mobile transceiver or receiver for maintaining connectivity includes using uni-directional communication between the data security system and the mobile device.

24. The system as claimed in claim 18 further comprising a wired or wireless connection communication between a mobile device with a data security system application and a server containing a user management database.

25. The system as claimed in claim 18 wherein the data security system includes an external communication channel for connection to a host computer.
