Abstract

A remote cell phone back-up system which provides constant real-time redundant automatic back-up storage of all information contained in the cell phone at the wireless service provider and/or at a modular unit in a user'"'"'s home or office. The remote cell phone back-up system automatically stores voice messages, missed calls, text messages, ring tones, phone numbers, email addresses, photographs, music and all data normally stored within the cell phone. The data may be accessed by phone or Internet connection.

Claims

1. A cellular telephone back-up system which provides constant real-time redundant automatic back-up of all information contained in the cell phone at a remote storage location, the system comprising:

an electronic storage and transmission device at a secure location separate from a user'"'"'s cellular telephone, the electronic storage and transmission device comprising a means for automatically receiving all wireless signals sent to the user'"'"'s cellular telephone and all information stored in a user'"'"'s cellular telephone at variable, pre-determined intervals with the user'"'"'s cellular telephone;

a means for automatically storing all information sent to a user'"'"'s cellular telephone and stored in the user'"'"'s cellular telephone at variable, predetermined intervals with the user'"'"'s cellular telephone;

a means for sending transmissions normally sent by a user'"'"'s cellular telephone to a cellular telephone service provider system for communication with the global telephone communication network;

a programmed means for carrying out all activities of the electronic storage and transmission device automatically in real time;

a security protocol to allow coded access to the electronic storage device by a user employing the user'"'"'s cellular telephone, an alternate telephone, and a computer modem via the Internet so that a user can access all information normally accessed via a user'"'"'s cellular telephone and perform all functions normally performed by a user'"'"'s cellular telephone using a telephone connection and an Internet connection without the user'"'"'s cellular telephone to provide a constant redundant automatic cellular telephone back-up system at a secure location separate from the cellular telephone so that a user maintains all cellular telephone interactions even when the user'"'"'s cellular telephone is not usable.

2. The system of claim 1 further comprising a programmable means for blocking use of the user'"'"'s cellular telephone in the event of loss of the cellular telephone by a user to prevent unauthorized use of the cellular telephone, the means for blocking comprising a coded means for signaling the user'"'"'s cellular telephone service provider to send transmissions only to the electronic storage device and not to the user'"'"'s cellular telephone and a means for signaling the user'"'"'s cellular telephone service provider to receive only transmissions from the electronic storage device and not from the user'"'"'s cellular telephone and in the event that the handset is recovered, the cellular telephone can be reconnected to the service provider network.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the programmed means for carrying out all activities of the electronic storage device automatically in real time comprises software and hardware communicating with the electronic storage device.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the electronic storage device is located at a user'"'"'s cellular telephone service provider location.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the electronic storage device is located at a user'"'"'s location.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the system comprises two electronic storage devices, one located at a user'"'"'s cellular telephone service provider'"'"'s location and the other located at a user'"'"'s location.
