Patent application titled "Automatic back-up device for mobile devices

DESCRIPTION

The invention object of the present patent application relates to a device for automatic black-up integrated or associated with an AC / DC adapter for powering a battery recharging circuit of mobile devices of the smart-phone or tablet type, called backup device. automatic being equipped with a suitable housing for the association of a generic device such as flash-USB or external memory in general and equipped with appropriate software to allow the automatic process of copying and saving the base memory and the expanded memory of the associated mobile device simultaneously with the battery charging process.

It is known that mobile devices of the smart-phone or tablet or similar type are equipped with an internal recharging circuit for batteries associated or integrated with the device, said circuit being notoriously electrically powered by common AC / DC adapter devices to which the mobile device is periodically connected.

Furthermore, it is known that mobile devices such as smart-phones or tablets or the like are equipped with a basic memory and an expanded memory for storing data.

Generally the process of saving and storing said data - known by the term backup - is carried out by automatically transferring said data to online platforms - so-called automatic backup - carried out thanks to the installation of appropriate algorithms that periodically process the data and they allow automatic or manual transfer to external memory units of the type, by way of example but not limited to, USB memory units or computers.

The manual backup procedure first of all requires the direct association or by means of suitable means of connecting the USB memory drives or computers to the mobile device in which the data is present.

To activate the backup process it is therefore necessary to act directly on the commands that allow the transfer operation from the mobile device to the external unit.

Although it is an effective solution for what concerns the procedure of data saving, the manual transfer of data from mobile device to external unit inevitably requires a direct interaction of the operator.

In the state of the art, improved battery charger-type devices are known, said devices providing for a series of modifications suitable for the simultaneous connection of several devices for the recharging process and suitable for supplying electrical energy to more than one device connected thereto. None of them have ports to house memory units: any USB ports are only used to connect the charge signal (+ Vdc) and the reference signal (OVdc).

The aim of the invention, which is the subject of the present patent application, is therefore to describe a device of the AC / DC adapter type for powering the recharging circuit which allows the circuit power supply function and the contextual backup process on an external memory associated with it.

A further object of the invention which is the subject of the present patent application is to provide an improved AC / DC adapter device such as to allow data to be backed up every time the adapter device is connected to the electrical network and to the mobile device.

A further object of the invention which is the subject of the present patent application is to provide an improved AC / DC adapter device such as to allow the backup process to be obtained without requiring an interaction between user and mobile device.

The invention which is the subject of the present patent application is by way of example, but is not limited to, illustrated in the attached Tables in which:
