System and method for providing comprehensive backup of modular mobile devices
First Claim
1. A system for backing up device data from a modular mobile device, the system comprising:
- a plurality of interconnected hardware modules that are configured to be attachable and removable from the modular mobile device;
electronic memory configured to store configuration and setting parameters associated with each of the plurality of interconnected hardware modules; and
a processor configured to;
monitor the configuration andsetting parameters to detect additions and modifications to the configuration and setting parameters associated with each of the plurality of interconnected hardware modules by comparing previous configurations setting parameters stored in the memory of the modular mobile device with the detected additions and modifications;
transmit the detected additions and modifications to a data storage device; and
execute a data backup indicating a current state of the configuration and setting parameters associated with each of the plurality of hardware modules.

Abstract
A system and method for backup and recovery of user mobile device modules, settings and configurations. An example system includes a modular mobile device and a number of interconnected modules that can be connected to the mobile device. The device includes memory that stores configuration and setting parameters associated with each of the modules. In operation, a backup software utility monitors the configuration and setting parameters to detect additions and modifications and the transmits the detected additions and modifications to remote data storage to generate a data backup indicating a current state of the configuration and setting parameters. As a result, the modular mobile device can always return to a previous state for each module if it is replaced or the software is reinstalled, for example.
