pcProx® Mat

Overview

The pressure sensitive pcProx Mat eliminates the security risks and privacy concerns associated by automatically securing a workstation based on user presence. The mat is designed to be positioned in front of workstations or kiosks, where a user would normally sit or stand. Using pressure sensitive technology, the pcProx Mat is able to automatically detect user presence and enable both logon and logoff capabilities. Upon a user’s arrival, the pcProx Mat can be configured to automatically open a logon window to the workstation. Once the user walks away, the mat will then automatically lock the workstation until the next user. By automating the logon/logoff process, the pcProx Mat easily enforces company security policies while providing a cost and energy saving solution.

Through Keyboard Interface Technology (KIT) the pcProx Mat sends commands via the USB interface directly to the computer. KIT essentially turns the mat into a pre-programmed USB keyboard, making for simple user interaction. For example, under Windows XP®, the pcProx Mat can send the “CTL - ALT - DEL” sequence when the user approaches a workstation to ready the computer for password entry. When the user steps off the mat, it sends the “Windows Key + L” key sequence, thus locking the system.
