Real time backup system for information based on a user's actions and gestures for computer users
First Claim
1. A system for backing-up data generated on a computer device by a user, the system comprising:
- means for recording physical actions taken by the user at a first location to generate data on the computer device;
means for transforming the recording of the physical actions to transmittable information that identifies said physical actions;
a server located at a second location, remote from the first location; and
means for sending said transmittable information to the server; and
wherein the server includes means to use the information sent to the server to interpret the user'"'"'s physical actions to generate a backup copy of the data generated by the user on the computer device at the first location.

Abstract
This invention involves tracking and backing all the information that a user generates on its computer devices (including embedded devices) in real time. The local user server records all user actions and gestures (via various means that include TV cameras). All of this information (user actions and saved files in a computer) is then sent to a remote server via the Internet. This remote server has a virtual map of all the embedded devices on a computer that the person uses. The remote server immediately starts to interpret the user'"'"'s actions (including user gestures). In one implementation, the invention stores user actions that are related to data generation (e.g. actions that called some links where data is stored, or executed some programs that generated data). In another variant, the remote server generates and downloads the same files that are downloaded on the local user computer devices. For example, if a person begins to download a program, the server may also download the same program on a remote backup server. This way, if the user loses this program, it can be retrieved automatically through a provided server on the Internet. If user'"'"'s files are backed up by regular backup periodically, relevant data that were stored by real time backup servers can be eliminated.
