Definitions

  • This invention relates to a data transfer system for transferring data between a cellular communication device and a data storage device.
  • data refers to data stored within a cellular communication device. Typically such data includes contact names, telephone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses and the like.
  • Data is stored within the memory of a cellular telephone and/or in the SIM card of the cellular telephone.
  • the amount of data stored in cellular telephones generally increases. Consequently, if a cellular telephone is stolen or lost, or if the data is erased accidentally, it is often a cause of great inconvenience to the user of the cellular telephone.
  • a system for transferring data between a communication device and a data storage device includes a cellular communication network which can communicate with the communication device and the data storage device, and a computer programme for providing an interface between data stored in the communication device and the data storage device so that data stored in the communication device can be downloaded onto the data storage device and retrieved from the data storage device via the cellular communication network.
  • the communication device may be a cellular telephone and the data storage device may be a computer.
  • the cellular communication network may be a GSM network, satellite network, GPRS network or a radio trunking network.
  • a method of operating a data back-up system for data stored in a communication device includes the steps of providing a data storage device which can communicate with the communication device via a cellular communication network, establishing communication between the data storage device and the communication device, downloading the data from the communication device to the data storage device and, if required, uploading the data from the data storage device to the communication device via the cellular communication network.
  • the method may include the step of sending the communication device a message to enquire if the user of the communication device wishes to backup the data. Such a message may be sent at specific predetermined intervals.
  • the method may include the step of downloading or uploading the data from or to the communication device via a computer interface programme.
  • the communication device may be a cellular telephone and the data storage device may be a computer.
  • the data which has been backed-up may be sent to an electronic address such as an email address.
  • the method may include the step of receiving an electronic address from the user via the cellular communication network, and transmitting the data from the data storage device to a computer which has the given electronic address. A hard copy of the data can be printed out by the computer if required.
  • the data may be transmitted in a compressed format.
  • a data transfer or back-up system 10 includes a cellular network 12 which can communicate with a cellular telephone 14 and a data storage computer 16.
  • the network 12 sends the cellular telephone 14 a message at monthly intervals, or at other suitable intervals, enquiring whether or not the user of the telephone wishes to back-up his data. If the user elects to back-up the data, the telephone calls a number which connects it to the data storage computer 16. The data is then downloaded onto the data storage computer via a computer programme. The computer programme enables the data to be downloaded from the SIM card and/or from the memory in the telephone. It will be appreciated that the user of the cellular telephone 14 could initiate the downloading of the data to the data storage computer.
  • the user can telephone the data storage computer, enter an appropriate identity code and retrieve the data from the data storage computer.
  • an email address can be communicated to the data storage computer to which the data can be sent so that it can be printed out.
  • the data can be transmitted from the email address to the data storage device from where it can be retrieved by the telephone via the cellular network.
  • fresh data contained on a computer which a user wishes to store in his telephone can be sent via the computer to the data storage device from where it can be retrieved by the telephone via the cellular network.
