Abstract:
1. A self-contained, stand-alone, modular, expandable, and flexible data access device that controls data delivery to a computer system and controls data transmittal through the device and to and from the computer system: a plurality of individual processing modules, each processing module being adapted for independently processing and executing specified computer security functions utilizing internal or shared resources; a base module that does not allow for direct connection to a user data entry device is adapted for providing exclusive access to a computer system being protected and includes an operating system for controlling the functions and cooperation of the processing modules with the base module and includes power and data connectors on said base module to which said processing modules may be mated to provide physical support and data connectivity for each of the individual processing modules that are programmed to execute specific data analysis functions relating to access to external computer networks, so that the processing modules are directly attached to the base module, the base module being removably, electronically connected to and physically supported from a modem module that provides exclusive connectivity incoming and outgoing data that will pass exclusively through the base module, such that the processing modules are physically supported on the base module and the modem is also plugged directly into the base module, allowing utilization of internal or shared resources amongst the base module and the processing modules; and electrical power connection to said processing modules, the electrical power connection being provided through the base module; and a data line switch for providing electronic data communication between said processing modules and said base module, wherein said means for electronic data communication comprises a connector mechanism that is housed in said base module and allows the plurality of individual processing modules to be plugged directly into the base module, supporting the individual processing modules against the base module and leaving the individual processing modules visible and accessible by projecting from the base module; where said computer system access device will house a power supply and a data processor with an operating system and software applications to store, update, and perform all necessary functions to control, monitor, processes, and manage all incoming and outgoing data and programmed to function as a stand-alone multi functional primary source of electronic data management and electronic data processing for all incoming and outgoing data types as tailored by the modules attached to the base unit and programmed to control the data line switch depending on data transmission programming obtained from the processing modules thereby allowing the base unit to function as a source of electronic data management and electronic data processing for all incoming and outgoing data types transmitted through the modem, creating a self-contained, stand-alone device that protects access to the computer system.
