Abstract

An access method that a user can use to log into a computer system via a wireless authentication device. The access method includes: the wireless authentication device enters within the sensing range of an authentication module of the system. The authentication module of the system senses the wireless authentication device and generates access request message. The authentication module transmits an authentication request message to the wireless authentication device. The authentication module receives a set of access codes from the wireless authentication device. An authentication procedure is processed, allowing the system to be accessed by the user.

Claims

1. An access method for a wireless authentication login system that allows a user to login to a computer system via a wireless authentication device, the access method comprising:

entering within a sensing range of the computer system, wherein the wireless authentication device enters the sensing range of an authentication module of the computer system;

generating an access request message, wherein the authentication module of the computer system senses the wireless authentication device within the sensing range and generating the access request message;

transmitting an authentication request message, wherein the authentication module transmits the authentication request message to the wireless authentication device;

receiving a set of access codes, wherein the authentication module receives the set of access codes from the wireless authentication device;

processing an authentication procedure; and

logging into the computer system.

2. The access method as claimed in claim 1, wherein before the wireless authentication device enters the sensing range of the computer system, the computer system is in a standby mode, which also detects if the wireless authentication device enters within the sensing range.

3. The access method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the computer system is a multi-user operation computer system.

4. The access method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of getting within the sensing range of the computer system, the wireless authentication device includes a wireless module to couple with the authentication module in an inductive or an electromagnetic manner.

5. The access method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the computer system is a local or a remote computer host.

6. The access method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of processing an authentication procedure further includes:

comparing the set of access codes with the user'"'"'s information;

judging whether the set of access codes is valid;

judging whether the user'"'"'s information is valid; and

providing a wireless connection relationship between the wireless authentication device and the authentication module.

7. The access method as claimed in claim 6, further including a logout procedure if the wireless connection is invalid.

8. The access method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the computer system returns to standby mode if the set of access codes is invalid.

9. The access method as claimed in claim 6, further providing a warning message showing an access error has occurred if the user'"'"'s information is invalid.

10. The access method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the computer system goes back to standby mode if the set of access codes is invalid.

11. The access method as claimed in claim 6, further providing a warning message showing an access error has occurred if the set of access codes is invalid.

12. An access method for a wireless authentication login computer system comprising:

entering within an sensing range of the computer system, wherein the wireless authentication device that a user possesses enters the sensing range of an authentication module of the computer system;

generating an access request message, wherein the authentication module of the computer system senses the wireless authentication device and generating the access request message;

transmitting an authentication request message, wherein the authentication module transmits the authentication request message to the wireless authentication device;

receiving a set of access codes, wherein the authentication module receives the set of access codes from the wireless authentication device;

comparing the set of access codes with a user'"'"'s information;

judging whether the set of access codes is valid;

judging whether the user'"'"'s information is valid;

providing a wireless connection relationship between the wireless authentication device and the authentication module; and

logging into the computer system.

13. The access method as claimed in claim 12, wherein before entering into the sensing range of the computer system, the computer system is in standby mode, which also detects if the wireless authentication device enters within the sensing range.

14. The access method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the computer system is a multi-user operation computer system.

15. The access method as claimed in claim 12, further including a logout procedure if the wireless connection relationship is invalid.

16. The access method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the computer system goes back to standby mode while the set of access codes is invalid.

17. The access method as claimed in claim 12, further providing a warning message showing an access error has occurred if the user'"'"'s information is invalid.

18. The access method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the computer system goes back to standby mode if the set of access codes is invalid.

19. The access method as claimed in claim 12, wherein in the step of entering into the sensing range of the computer system, the wireless authentication device includes a wireless module to couple with the authentication module in an inductive or an electro-magnetic manner.
