  • Publication number: 20240134964
    Abstract: A computer having a transformable architecture and a method of transforming virtual computers are disclosed. A computer architecture can be transformed such that a user can use a plurality of virtual computers, and thus a data storage unit of a computer transforms a file system according to architecture information selected by an input of the user, and an OS and an application program execute available resource information and the like and provide same to a main unit including a CPU and a memory, thereby safely protecting personal information. The data storage unit actively controls a computer architecture, and thus an access to pieces of information forming inactivated another virtual computer is impossible. Accordingly, security is greatly enhanced.

  • Patent number: 11941264
    Abstract: A data storage apparatus with a variable computer file system is disclosed. The variable computer file system adopts the concept of a dedicated sub-file system and is activated or deactivated according to whether authentication is granted. Each dedicated sub-file system is activated or deactivated according to whether authentication is granted, and is recognized by a host computer. Deactivated dedicated sub-file systems cannot be recognized or accessed by the host computer. Accordingly, since a third party accessing the host computer cannot access a dedicated sub-file system without possessing a means for activating the dedicated sub-file system, security is greatly strengthened.

  • Publication number: 20220374534
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a file system protection technology, which is applied to an auxiliary storage device (20), and to an apparatus and method for protecting a file system in a manner of blocking or warning about, in advance, an access to a file system or a change of the file system and identifying permission of a user as necessary. A control device (60) is connected to a host interface (30), a data storage device (40), and a user input device (50) to control an operation mode of the auxiliary storage device or manage and protect a file system object to be protected, according to a user command. When the operation mode of the auxiliary storage device is a management mode, the user can designate file system objects to be protected by the user and set a protection type, wherein information set by the user is stored in an object DB (70) to be protected.
