Abstract

Provided is an imaging device having an information protection function, comprising an imaging control unit, an interface control unit, and at least two interfaces, and further comprising a changeover switch unit provided between the interfaces and the interface control unit, configured to change over the physical communication or physical isolation between the interfaces and the interface control unit. The imaging device provided in the solution maintains the physical communication or physical isolation between the interfaces and the interface control unit via the changeover switch unit, reduces the possibility of communicating between the interfaces via the interface control unit, thus avoiding the leakage of user data via the communicated interfaces, and reducing potential network security risk.
