Methods and apparatus for power state based backup
First Claim
1. A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instructions therein, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a wireless device, power from a first power source through wire or inductive pad;
monitoring the power received;
backing up data from the device to a server in a network through an OTA (over the air) wireless interface, the data being transmitted to the server to back up data on the device;
determining, while backing up the data, that power to the device has changed to a second power source as a result of the power from the first power source being disconnected from the device;
automatically, and without user request, terminating the backing up of the data in the device in response to the determining that the power has been disconnected;
detecting that power to the device has changed back to the first power source as a result of a reconnection of the device to the first power source after the backing up the data has been terminated; and
resuming the backing up the data in response to the detected change back to the first power source.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus that receive, at a wireless device, power through wire or inductive pad are described. The received power is monitored to back up data from the device to a server in a network through an OTA (over the air) wireless interface. The data is transmitted to the server to back up the data on the device. While backing up the data, whether the power has been removed from the device is determined. The backing up of the data in the device can be terminated automatically and without user request, in response to the determination that the power has been removed.

1. A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instructions therein, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a wireless device, power from a first power source through wire or inductive pad; monitoring the power received; backing up data from the device to a server in a network through an OTA (over the air) wireless interface, the data being transmitted to the server to back up data on the device; determining, while backing up the data, that power to the device has changed to a second power source as a result of the power from the first power source being disconnected from the device; automatically, and without user request, terminating the backing up of the data in the device in response to the determining that the power has been disconnected; detecting that power to the device has changed back to the first power source as a result of a reconnection of the device to the first power source after the backing up the data has been terminated; and resuming the backing up the data in response to the detected change back to the first power source. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instructions therein, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
monitoring a state of a first power source to a device, the state indicating whether the first power source is available; backing up data from the device to a server in a network through a wireless interface to transmit the data to the server via a plurality of backup operations; detecting that the power to the device has changed to a second power source as a result of the first power source being disconnected from the device, according to the state monitored when at least a remaining one of the backup operations has not been performed; and terminating, and without user request, the backing up of the data in the device without performing the remaining operations in response to the detection that the first power source is disconnected; detecting that the first power source is reconnected to the device, according to the state monitored after the backing up the data has been terminated; and resuming the backing up the data without performing the backup operations which have been performed. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, at a wireless device, power from a first power source through wire or inductive pad; monitoring the power received; backing up data from the device to a server in a network through an OTA (over the air) wireless interface, the data being transmitted to the server to back up data on the device; determining, while backing up the data, that power to the device has changed to a second power source as a result of the power from the first power source being disconnected from the device; automatically, and without user request, terminating the backing up of the data in the device in response to the determining that the power has been disconnected; detecting that power to the device has changed back to the first power source as a result of a reconnection of the device to the first power source after the backing up the data has been terminated; and resuming the backing up the data in response to the detected change back to the first power source.
