MULTISERVICE UNIT (UMS) ALLOWING THE PROVISION OF REMOTE SERVICES (I) WHICH CANNOT BE ATTACKED BY REMOTE THIRD PARTIES, (II) WHICH IS NON INTRUSIVE, AND (III) WHICH IS INDEPENDENT OF THE CONFIGURATION OF THE HOST SYSTEM

摘要

Device (UMS) for ensuring the backup and system restoral of a computer (“host computer”), and for ensuring secure links with service providers known to an authorized third party and which links are based on particular functionalities for routing service calls, characterized in that it consists of the following components: (i) an identification device (1) allowing activation of the UMS and control of the operations by said UMS; (ii) a microcontroller (2) controlling the general functioning of the UMS and of each of its components, and controlling the physical access ways to the peripherals; (iii) a service unit (3) containing the instruction sets for what may be achieved by the UMS; (iv) a storage unit (6), itself decomposed into several parts containing respectively: (a) a peripheral wherein is installed the bootable partition of the UMS; (b) a peripheral wherein is housed a copy of the medium (a); (c) a slave peripheral wherein are installed tools for remote control managed under the control of the host computer and of its operating system; and (d) a peripheral of the maintenance tools and imprints (system/data) of the host computer; (v) a switching interface (7) allowing individual control of the power supply of each component of the storage unit (6) and of the service unit (3); (vi) a port (5) for communication with the host computer; and (vii) an interface (8) for switching input/output and reading/writing of the communication port (5).
