Abstract

Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-program products that assist a user in managing data on a mobile device. In one embodiment of the invention, the computer-implemented method receives data associated with a mobile device and stores the data in a database. The computer-implemented method then periodically updates the data in the database until the user desires to load the data onto the mobile device or onto a new mobile device. At the user'"'"'s request, the computer-implemented method loads the data onto the mobile device. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method determines the operating system of the mobile device and assists the user in conveniently transferring data from one mobile device to another mobile device. In further embodiments, the computer-implemented method augments the data with publicly or privately available information.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method of managing data on a mobile device, the method comprising:

receiving data from a user, wherein the data is associated with a first mobile device;

updating the data based on a trigger from the first mobile device, wherein the trigger is a predetermined level of change in the first mobile device;

establishing more than one profile for the user based on changes on the first mobile device;

receiving a request from the user to communicate the data to the first mobile device or a second mobile device;

identifying, using a computing device processor, the data associated with the user; and

communicating the data to the first mobile device or to the second mobile device.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining the operating system of the second mobile device; and

modifying, using a computing device processor, the data to load onto the operating system of the second mobile device.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising periodically updating the data.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising augmenting, via a computing device processor, the data for the first mobile device or the second mobile device based on the data received from the user.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein augmenting the data further comprises analyzing, via a computing device processor, the data received from the user, and determining an offer to provide to the user based on the analysis.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the profiles are established automatically based on use of the first mobile device during specific times.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein a business profile is established based on use of the first mobile device during a first time period and wherein a personal profile is established based on use of the first mobile device during a second time period.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising establishing a time stamp profile, wherein the user can load the time stamp profile on the first mobile device to reload a previous setting on the first mobile device.

4. (canceled)

7. (canceled)

11. A system for managing data on a mobile device, the system comprising:

a computing platform including a processor and a memory;

a data routine stored in the memory, executable by the processor and configured to receive data from a user, wherein the data is associated with a first mobile device;

a financial institution database stored in the memory and configured to store data associated with the first mobile device at the request of the user;

an identification routine stored in the memory, executable by the processor and configured to identify the data associated with the user in response to the request of the user;

an updating routine stored in the memory, executable by the processor, and configured to update the data based on a trigger from the first mobile device, wherein the trigger is a predetermined level of change in the first mobile device;

a profile routine stored in the memory, executable by the processor, and configured to establish more than one profile for the user based on changes on the first mobile device; and

a communication routine stored in the memory, executable by the processor and configured to communicate the data to the first mobile device or to a second mobile device.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising an operating system routine stored in the memory, executable by the processor, and configured to identify the operating system of the second mobile device and modify the data to load onto the operating system of the second mobile device.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the data routine is configured to periodically receive data from the first mobile device and store the data in the financial institution database.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the profiles are selected from the group consisting of a business profile, a personal profile, a travel profile, a shopping profile, and a high security profile.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the profile is determined based on the location of the user, wherein the location of the user is determined based on a geographic positioning device.

17. The system of claim 11, further comprising an augmentation routine stored in the memory, executable by the processor, and configured to augment the data that is communicated to the first mobile device or the second mobile device.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the data is augmented with offers that are determined to be of interest to the user based on the data received from the user.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the data is augmented with information, wherein the information is determined from a social networking site.

14. (canceled)

20. A computer program product for managing data on a mobile device, the computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising;

a set of codes for causing a computer to receive data from a user, wherein the data is associated with a first mobile device;

a set of codes for causing a computer to update the data based on a trigger from the first mobile device, wherein the trigger is a predetermined level of change in the first mobile device;

a set of codes for causing a computer to establish more than one profile for the user based on changes on the first mobile device;

a set of codes for causing a computer to receive a request from the user to communicate the data to the first mobile device or to a second mobile device;

a set of codes for causing a computer to identify the data associated with the user; and

a set of codes for causing a computer to communicate the data to the first mobile device or to a second mobile device.

21. The computer program product of claim 20, wherein the data include settings and files for the first mobile device.

22. The computer program product of claim 20, further comprising a set of codes for causing a computer to augment the data for the user.

23. The computer program product of claim 22, further comprising a set of codes for causing a computer to determine a business that the user has conducted a transaction at previously and a set of codes for causing a computer to augment the data with a coupon for the business.

25. The computer program product of claim 20, further comprising a set of codes for causing a computer to determine the operating system of the second mobile device and modify the data for loading onto the operating system of the second mobile device.

26. The computer program product of claim 20, wherein the data includes a mobile wallet application.

27. The computer program product of claim 20, wherein the computer identifies the data associated with the user based on an account of the user.

28. The computer program product of claim 20, wherein the data is communicated to the first mobile device or to the second mobile device in a compressed format.
