Abstract:
1. A method for automatically controlling access between a computer and a communication network, which method comprises the steps of: monitoring user activity by monitoring physical signal existence from at least one input/output device adapted for communication with the computer, and wherein a detection of physical signal existence from the input/output device is an indication of user activity; monitoring net related user activity by monitoring signal activity from the computer, and wherein a detection of physical signal existence from the computer is an indication of net related user activity; automatically allowing access from at least one of the computer to the communication network and access from the communication network to the computer, upon first detecting user activity and subsequently detecting net related user activity; a first monitoring mode prohibiting access between the computer and the communication network, the first monitoring mode comprises step of: a second monitoring mode, allowing access between the computer and the communication network, the second monitoring mode comprises step of: wherein the method is performed by a processing unit within a communication network access controller that is adapted for connection between an interface and the communication network through which interface the computer is connected to said communication network, the communication network access controller is further connected to one or more input/output devices, and which controller being in the first monitoring mode is adapted for interrupting the communication between the computer and the communication network by interrupting the physical connection of the computer to the communication network.
