Method and apparatus for providing an interface for triggering device action
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of an identification of one or more triggering devices based on a detected proximity of a mobile device to the one or more triggering devices;
causing presentation of a location-based user interface depicting one or more representations of the one or more triggering devices;
determining one or more interactions with the location-based user interface to cause an initiation of an association of a backup operation with the one or more triggering devices; and
in response to the identification of the one or more triggering devices based on the detected proximity of the mobile device and in response to the association of the backup operation with the one or more triggering devices, initiating a backup of data from the mobile device to another device.

Abstract
An approach is provided for causing, at least in part, an identification of one or more triggering devices. A processor may then cause, at least in part, an association of the one or more actions with the one or more triggering devices based, at least in part, on the identification wherein the one or more actions are initiated based, at least in part, on a detection of the one or more triggering devices.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; receiving an indication of an identification of one or more triggering devices based on a detected proximity of a mobile device to the one or more triggering devices; causing presentation of a location-based user interface depicting one or more representations of the one or more triggering devices; determining one or more interactions with the location-based user interface to cause an initiation of an association of a backup operation with the one or more triggering devices, and in response to the identification of the one or more triggering devices based on the detected proximity of the mobile device and in response to the association of the backup operation with the one or more triggering devices, initiating a backup of data from the mobile device to another device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17)

18. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising program code instructions to:
-
receive an indication of an identification of one or more triggering devices based on a detected proximity of a mobile device to the one or more triggering devices; cause presentation of a location-based user interface depicting one or more representations of the one or more triggering devices; determine one or more interactions with the location-based user interface to cause an initiation of an association of a backup operation with the one or more triggering devices, and in response to the identification of the one or more triggering devices based on the detected proximity of the mobile device and in response to the association of the backup operation with the one or more triggering devices, initiate a backup of data from the mobile device to another device.
