Method of automatically backing up and restoring PIMS data of mobile communication terminal
First Claim
1. A method of automatically backing up and restoring Personal Information Management System (PIMS) data of a mobile communication terminal, comprising the steps of:
- providing a mobile communication terminal comprising an automatic PIMS data backup/restoration processor, a PIMS data backup/restoration protocol encoder/decoder, and a PIMS data transmission/reception unit, and a backup/restoration server of a service provider, comprising a PIMS data transmission/reception unit, a PIMS data backup/restoration protocol encoder/decoder, an automatic PIMS data backup/restoration processor and a PIMS data storage unit;
when user PIMS data is updated in the mobile communication terminal, encoding update-related data and user authentication information, transmitting them to the backup/restoration server while the user is not engaging in wireless communication, thereby storing them in the backup/restoration server; and
when a user request is made, encoding user authentication information, transmitting it to the backup/restoration server, receiving PIMS data of a corresponding user from the backup/restoration server after user authentication, and restoring and storing the PIMS data in the mobile communication terminal.

Abstract
A method of automatically backing up and restoring PIMS data stored in a mobile communication terminal is disclosed which allows the users of mobile communication terminals to conveniently restore previously maintained PIMS data in new mobile communication terminals without any loss of the data even when damage, loss or replacement of the mobile communication terminal occurs. To accomplish the above object, the invention encodes update-related information and user authentication information, transmits them to a PMIS data backup/restoration server while the user is not engaging in wireless communication, and stores them when the PIMS data of a user is updated in a mobile communication terminal.
