Secure RFID backup/restore for computing/pervasive devices
First Claim
1. An RFID-based data backup and recovery system for a computing device having a data storage device, said system comprising:
- an RFID device provided in said computing device adapted for receiving and sending RFID signals, and in response to receipt of an RFID signal, said device generating an activation signal representing an instruction to backup data storage device contents; and
, control means responsive to said activation signal received from said RFID device for invoking logic to initiate a physical copying and transmission of contents of said data storage device to a remote storage device for backed up storage therein.

Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for backing up contents of a data storage device provided in a computing device. The system is an RFID-based system comprising: an RFID device provided in the computing device and adapted for receiving and sending RFID signals, and in response to receipt of an RFID signal, the device generating an activation signal representing an instruction to backup data storage device contents of said data storage device contents in response to receipt of an RFID signal; and, a control means responsive to the activation signal received from the RFID device for invoking logic to initiate a physical copying and transmission of contents of said data storage device to a remote storage device for full or incremental backed up storage therein. By applying GPS and RFID object movement can be detected and alerts triggered and data signals generated that invokes logic to yield both a disk or data backup and purge operation.
