Abstract

A method for restoring automatically an original setting in a mobile device is disclosed in which a monitoring module is included, comprising the steps of memorizing a plurality of initial communication settings by the monitoring module when a SIM card is inserted in the mobile device as a spare copy of parameters, examining a plurality of APs parameters stored in the mobile device, comparing the spare copy of parameters and the plurality of APs parameters, and executing automatically an initial setting process on the mobile device and overwriting the plurality of APs parameters stored in the mobile device. As such, the previous basic settings of the mobile device may be rapidly restored in a simple manner and the mobile device may be restored back to a normally state.

Claims

1. A method for restoring automatically an original setting in a mobile device, comprising the steps of:

memorizing a plurality of initial communications settings and APs parameters from a subscriber information module (SIM) card when said SIM card is inserted in said mobile device as a spare copy of parameters;

examining a plurality of access points (APs) parameters stored in said mobile device;

comparing said spare copy of parameters and said plurality of APs parameters on said mobile device to obtain a comparison result; and

executing automatically an initial setting process on said mobile device and overwriting said plurality of APs parameters on said mobile device with the spare copy of parameters when said comparison result shows a different between said spare copy of parameters and said plurality of APs parameters.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said mobile device is provided with a monitoring module used to memorize said spare copy of parameters.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said mobile device is provided with a monitoring module used to memorize said spare copy of parameters and execute automatically the following steps after said initial setting process is performed:

examining said plurality of APs parameters stored in said mobile device;

comparing said spare copy of parameters and said plurality of APs parameters; and

executing automatically an initial setting process on said mobile device and overwriting said plurality of APs parameters on said mobile device with said spare copy of parameters when said comparison result shows a different between said spare copy of parameters and said plurality of APs parameters.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein said mobile device is provided with a monitoring module used to memorize said spare copy of parameters and execute automatically each of said steps in said method based on a regular manner on a specific period basis.
