1. A device comprising:
- a non-volatile reserve memory;
a detector configured to characterize a physical stimulus or an operation of a component of the device;
one or more data processors; and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed on the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform actions including;
determining that a failure-risk condition is satisfied, wherein the determination is made based on the characterization of the physical stimulus or operation of the component of the device;
identifying a current setting of the device, wherein the current setting includes one identified based on application of a learning technique; and
in response to determining that the failure-risk condition is satisfied, backing up data that includes the current setting in the non-volatile reserved memory.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for detecting failure-risk events at devices and facilitating local and/or remote data back-up and/or device operations. In some instances, a device characterizes a stimulus sensed at the device or an operation of a component of the device. A determination is made that a failure-risk condition is satisfied based on the characterization. In response to determining that the failure-risk condition is satisfied, the device initiates a data backing up of data in a non-volatile reserved memory or facilitates transmission of an alert communication from the device to another device.
