1. A port blocking module of an electronic device, the port blocking module comprising:
a module frame which is formed to correspond to size and shape of a port of an electronic device and has a shape of a frame having opposite open ends;
a locking module having a locking module body fixedly installed inside the module frame, a first locking member connected to the locking module body to be elastically transformable such that the first locking member selectively comes into contact with a terminal part inside the port, and a second locking member connected to the locking module body to be elastically transformable such that the second locking member is disposed by being spaced apart from the first locking member; and
a pattern module which is installed to be movable between a locking position and an unlocking position inside and outside the module frame, the pattern module being configured to interfere with the first locking member such that the first locking member is in close contact with the terminal part and to be lock-coupled to the second locking member when the pattern module is inserted into the locking position, and having a key recess into which an unlocking key for separating the second locking member is inserted.
