SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOCATING APPLICATION SPECIFIC DATA
First Claim
1. A system for locating for application-specific data comprising:
- (a) at least one data storage device, having unidentified data stored therein;
(b) at least one processor operatively coupled to the at least one data storage device, the at least one processor configured to;
(i) access unidentified data from at least one data storage device;
(ii) examine the unidentified data to detect at least one application-specific data pattern associated with at least one application;
(iii) for each detected application-specific data pattern, execute an application-specific validation process to determine whether the unidentified data includes valid data associated with a corresponding application; and
(iv) if it is determined that the unidentified data includes valid data associated with the corresponding application, then recover the valid data.

Abstract
A system and a method for locating application-specific data that has been previously deleted and located in an address of the data storage device marked as being available for storing new data. The method includes accessing unidentified data from at least one data storage device; examining the unidentified data to detect at least one application-specific data pattern associated with at least one application; for each detected application-specific data pattern, executing an application-specific validation process to determine whether the unidentified data includes valid data associated with a corresponding application; and if it is determined that the unidentified data includes valid data associated with the corresponding application, then recovering the valid data.

16. A computer-implemented method for locating application-specific data, the method comprising:
-
(a) accessing unidentified data from at least one data storage device; (b) examining the unidentified data to detect at least one application-specific data pattern associated with at least one application; (c) for each detected application-specific data pattern, executing an application-specific validation process to determine whether the unidentified data includes valid data associated with a corresponding application; and (d) if it is determined that the unidentified data includes valid data associated with the corresponding application, then recovering the valid data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
