Detailed Implementation

[0018] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” or “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0019] For ease of understanding, the specific process of the embodiments of the present invention is described below. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The first aspect of the present invention provides a method for remotely viewing data on an iOS device, comprising: S100. PC-based backup software is built based on the official iOS backup protocol and a software web service is provided. Specifically, the main inventive point of this invention is to use the backup function of the iOS system to export iOS device data and provide cloud web services for users to remotely view iOS device data. The data backup process of the iOS device complies with the official iOS protocol and will not damage the device system, thus having higher security.

[0020] In an optional embodiment of step S100 of the present invention, the step of building PC-side backup software based on the official iOS backup protocol and providing software web services includes: parsing the backup data format of the iOS device from the official iOS backup protocol; building PC-side backup software based on the backup data format, capable of realizing local storage and management functions for iOS device backup data; and developing a matching software web service with a user interface and data management functions based on the remote access and management interface for the backup data provided by the PC-side backup software. Specifically, the core of the technical solution of the present invention lies in the PC-side backup software based on the official iOS backup protocol and providing web services. The PC-side backup software can realize a complete process covering reading, storing, and providing remote access to data from the iOS system.

[0021] S200. Connect the iOS device to the PC device with the PC backup software installed via a wired trusted connection. In this invention, when the iOS device needs to back up data to the PC device, a trusted connection with the PC device needs to be established so that the iOS device and the PC device can transfer data to each other.

[0022] In an optional embodiment of step S200 of the present invention, connecting the iOS device to a PC device with the PC-side backup software installed via wired trust includes: physically connecting the iOS device to the PC device via a USB data cable; automatically popping up a trust prompt interface after the USB connection is detected on the iOS device; displaying the name and icon information of the PC device on the trust prompt interface of the iOS device; selecting to trust the PC device on the iOS device to establish a trust connection relationship; initializing the backup environment in response to the PC-side backup software detecting the establishment of the trust connection relationship; and displaying the identification information and backup status of the iOS device in the PC-side backup software.

[0023] Specifically, the process of establishing a trusted connection between an iOS device and a PC device according to this invention can be as follows: The user connects the physical port of the iOS device to the USB port of the PC device using a USB data cable (supporting Lightning or USB-C interfaces). After detecting the USB connection event, the PC device sends a device enumeration request to the USB bus. The iOS device responds to the enumeration and returns a device identifier (such as PID / VID). After the iOS device's connection management module (located in the operating system kernel layer) detects that the USB connection is successful, it sends an interrupt signal to the system UI service layer. The system UI service layer calls the TrustPromptController class, which automatically overlays a semi-transparent pop-up window on the lock screen or the top-level system window. This pop-up window has a higher priority than the normal application interface. The iOS device requests device description information from the PC device via the USB control protocol, including the PC device name and device icon. The PC device icon is dynamically loaded in the left area of ​​the trust prompt interface, and the device name text is displayed in the right area. After the user clicks the "Trust" button in the interface: the iOS device's key management module generates a temporary RSA-2048 key pair; the public key is encrypted and transmitted to the PC device via the USB CDC-ECM protocol; and a com.apple.mobiletrust field is created in the iOS device's key chain to store the mapping relationship between the PC device's unique device identifier (UDID) and the public key.

[0024] S300. Authorize the PC backup software to perform backup using the account information of the iOS device. In this invention, in addition to the login software's own account password, the PC backup software also integrates the iOS backup account login mechanism, thereby enabling the PC backup software to have the permission to obtain backup data from the iOS device. Therefore, before backing up the data from the iOS device to the local PC device, it is necessary to log in to the iOS device's account information to grant the software permission.

[0025] In an optional embodiment of step S300 of the present invention, the step of authorizing the PC-side backup software to perform backup using the account information of the iOS device includes: obtaining Apple ID account information through the iOS device; verifying the validity of the Apple ID account information in the PC-side backup software; generating a backup authorization token based on the verification result; storing the backup authorization token in the local secure storage area of ​​the PC-side backup software; verifying the validity of the backup authorization token before each backup operation, and restricting the scope of the backup operation according to the permission level of the backup authorization token.

[0026] Specifically, the backup authorization process of the PC-side backup software of this invention can be as follows: When a user uses the PC-side backup software for the first time through an iOS device, the software prompts the user to enter their Apple ID and related password information. The PC-side backup software receives and parses the user's Apple ID and password. The software calls Apple's verification API and sends a request to Apple's account server via an HTTPS connection to verify the validity of the entered Apple ID account information. If the verification is successful, the PC-side backup software receives a valid session token, indicating that the user's Apple ID identity has been confirmed. After the Apple ID account information is verified, the PC-side backup software generates a backup authorization token based on the user's permissions. This token contains the user's backup permission level, verification timestamp, and validity period information, and is encrypted using the AES encryption algorithm to ensure the security of the token data. The backup authorization token is stored in the local secure storage area of ​​the PC-side backup software, ensuring that only authorized programs can access and use the token. Before each backup operation is initiated, the PC-side backup software automatically checks the validity of the locally stored backup authorization token. If the token has not expired and verification is successful, the software will continue to perform subsequent backup operations; if the token expires or has been revoked, the software will interrupt the backup operation and prompt the user to re-authenticate. Based on the permission information contained in the token, the PC-side backup software will determine the scope of backup operations that the user is allowed to perform.

[0027] S400: In the PC-side backup software, select the items that need to be backed up on the iOS device, back up the data of the items to the PC device, and enable the WIFI backup function of the iOS device to achieve automatic update of the backup data; The main purpose of this step of the present invention is to configure which data of the iOS device needs to be backed up by the PC-side backup software, and to configure the iOS device to actively update the backup of this data to the PC device after connecting to the same WIFI as the PC device, so that the backup information can be dynamically updated.

[0028] In an optional embodiment of step S400 of the present invention, the step of selecting the items to be backed up on the iOS device in the PC-side backup software and backing up the data of the items to the PC device includes: displaying a list of backable items of the iOS device on the user interface of the PC-side backup software, the list of items including contacts, SMS messages, call logs, photos, videos, applications, documents, and health data; receiving the items to be backed up selected by the user through a selection box, generating a backup task list, the backup task list including the priority and backup order of each item; storing the backup data of each item in a designated location on the PC device according to a preset file structure, and generating an independent metadata file for each item; generating a backup report after the backup is completed, the backup report including a backup item list, data integrity verification results, and storage location information.

[0029] Specifically, in this invention, the PC-based backup software retrieves backupable items from the iOS device, generating a list of backupable items. These items include contacts, SMS messages, call logs, photos, videos, applications, documents, and health data. Each item has a selection box next to it, allowing users to choose which items to back up. The system monitors and records user selections in real time. Once the user confirms the selection, the PC-based backup software generates a backup task list, which includes the priority (based on user selection or default settings) and backup order for each backup item. Based on the generated backup task list, the software creates folders and files in a designated location on the PC device according to a preset file structure (such as a tree structure). Data for each selected backup item is stored in a predefined format; for example, contacts are stored in CSV format, SMS messages in JSON format, call logs in Excel format, and photos and videos in their original format. Applications are stored to confirm the backup application's status, generating relevant metadata files. Documents are stored in categorized formats such as PDF and DOCX, and health data is stored in XML format. After all backup operations are complete, the software automatically generates a backup report. The report includes: a backup item list: clearly listing all backup items selected by the user; data integrity verification results: verifying backup data using SHA-256 or MD5 algorithms to ensure data integrity; and storage location information: providing the specific storage path of the backup data on the PC for easy retrieval by the user.

[0030] In an optional embodiment of step S400 of the present invention, enabling the WIFI backup function of the iOS device to achieve automatic update of backup data includes: enabling the WIFI backup function of the iOS device; in response to the iOS device and the PC device accessing the same WIFI network, triggering the iOS device to automatically perform backup update to the PC device; receiving the backup data update information of the iOS device through the PC-side backup software; automatically identifying the items that need to be updated according to a preset incremental backup strategy, and performing incremental data transmission via WiFi; adopting a breakpoint resume mechanism during data transmission, and automatically updating the metadata information of the backup data and generating an update log after the incremental update is completed.

[0031] Specifically, in this invention, the steps for enabling the Wi-Fi backup function of the iOS device can be exemplarily as follows: After connecting the device to the computer via USB cable, open iTunes, click the device icon > Summary > check "Sync with this device over Wi-Fi" > Apply. Subsequently, the device and computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, charged, and locked, and automatic backup is performed. After receiving a backup data update request from the iOS device, the PC backup software parses the request content to understand the data items that need to be updated, as well as the timestamp and data version of the original backup. Then, according to the preset incremental backup strategy, the PC backup software compares the current data of the iOS device with the differences from the previous backup. If any newly added or modified data items (such as new photos, new text messages, etc.) are detected, the system will automatically mark these items as needing backup updates. During data transmission, if a network interruption or unexpected disconnection occurs, the system will activate the breakpoint resume mechanism. After the data transmission is completed, the PC backup software will automatically update the metadata information of the backup data, including the file version number, last modified time, file size, etc., for subsequent backup management.

[0032] S500. Upload the backup data to the cloud to form a device backup record. In this invention, the backup data can be uploaded to the cloud by a timed trigger, a PC software startup trigger, or a passive trigger after a request is sent by the cloud. The main contents of the device backup record include device name, device model, data type, backup status, and backup time. Users can view the relevant backup data by clicking on each device backup record.

[0033] S600. Remotely accessing the device backup records via the software web service. In an optional embodiment of step S600 of the present invention, remotely accessing the device backup records via the software web service includes: receiving user account login on the web interface of the software web service, displaying a list of all backup devices of the user on the web interface; providing a backup record retrieval function for each backup device, the retrieval function supporting filtering by time, project type, and backup status; receiving the user's remote access to the backup records via the web interface, generating an interface display of the backup records consistent with the iOS device; providing an export function for the backup records, supporting the export of the backup records in a structured format.

[0034] Specifically, users enter their account information, including username and password, on the web service login page. After successful login, the system automatically queries and retrieves information on all registered backup devices associated with that user. On the homepage area of ​​the web interface, the system displays all of the user's backup devices in a list format, including device name, type, model, and last backup time. Each backup device list item has a quick access button, allowing users to easily select a device for further operations. For each backup device, the web interface provides a backup record search function; users can find a corresponding search box next to each device. This search function supports filtering by time, project type, and backup status: after the user selects a backup device and enters filter criteria, the system receives the request and analyzes the selected search parameters. The system retrieves backup records that meet the criteria from the server and organizes the results. Based on the search results, the system generates a backup record display interface consistent with the iOS device, with an interface style identical to the mobile application, ensuring a consistent browsing experience across different devices.

[0035] In summary, the main functional points of the technical solution of this invention are as follows: 1. Back up iPhone data to local storage. Manual backup: Connect your iPhone to your PC using PC software, trust the connection, and once connected, back up all data to your local storage via wired or Wi-Fi using Apple's official backup protocol (you may need to enter your lock screen password for authorization). Automatic backup: After closing the PC program, start the automatic backup service. It will automatically back up data to your local storage upon detecting a subsequent device connection.

[0036] 2. Preview Data. The system enumerates iTunes backups, local backups, iCloud backups, and automatic backups. Users can select specific backups to scan. Once the scan is complete, they can see data of various types, such as SMS records and social media chat logs. Users can also search by keywords to quickly find the data they want.

[0037] 3. Data Export. Users can filter and search for data and export it to a remote access terminal in a specified format.

[0038] 4. Data Upload to the Cloud. Before manually uploading data, users need to bind the device to be uploaded to the PC software (data cannot be uploaded normally without binding a device). The default setting supports uploading information such as SMS and contacts to the cloud. Users can select the data type according to their needs. After selection, the data upload to the cloud will begin. The upload status will be recorded after the upload is completed. Automatic upload means that after the user selects the upload type, the automatic detection service will periodically check if there are any updated data on the bound device. If updated data is found, the updated data will be uploaded to the cloud.

[0039] 5. After the data is uploaded to the cloud, users can log in through a web browser by entering their account and password to view the uploaded data.

[0040] After the backup configuration is set up on the PC, the child's mobile phone will automatically back up the data to the PC device when it is connected to the home Wi-Fi. Parents can then view the data directly on the PC device, or access the data via mobile web. This allows them to view the data on their child's device anytime, anywhere, without causing annoyance by rummaging through the device, and without compromising the stability of the device system or causing concerns about privacy leaks.
