CHICAGO — ComputerProx has announced the ProxMat, a USB-based pressure-sensitive mat for automated workstation locking. Placed on the floor in front of a workstation or kiosk, the ProxMat allows the machine to sign off the user or lock the workstation as soon as the user steps away.
"The ProxMat is an enabling technology," said Tom Crowley, vice president of ComputerProx. "By automating the session-ending process, users are assured none of their personal information is left behind."
ProxMat connects via USB and the operating system identifies it as a keyboard. No additional drivers are needed. The developer simply defines the keystrokes used to end the session and, using the ComputerProx Keyboard Interface Technology, programs them into the ProxMat.
