Mobile Terminal System Setting Backup via Network Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience and loss of personalized settings when upgrading or reinstalling mobile terminals, as system settings like wallpapers, ringtones, and voice messages are often lost, especially when using or returning borrowed devices.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a mobile terminal and server that includes a parameter backup module to compress and transmit system setting parameters to a network server for backup, and a recovery control module to restore these settings from the server, ensuring seamless recovery of the mobile terminal's state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If system settings are stored locally on the mobile terminal, then the terminal can quickly access and use settings, but the settings are lost when the terminal is replaced, upgraded, or reset
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between multiple mobile terminals to store system setting parameters. When a terminal is replaced or upgraded, the new terminal can retrieve settings from the server through network communication, eliminating local storage dependency while maintaining settings availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of system setting parameters and stores it on a remote server. This copy can be retrieved by new terminals, allowing settings to be replicated across different devices without being tied to the original terminal's local storage.
2Loss of time
If system settings are backed up to a remote server, then settings can be recovered on new terminals, but network communication is required which increases time and complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs backup of system setting parameters to the server proactively, before the terminal is replaced or upgraded. This preliminary action ensures that when recovery is needed, the settings are already available on the server, reducing recovery time and avoiding last-minute communication delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent compresses system setting parameters into a compact data format before transmission. This parameter transformation reduces the amount of data that needs to be communicated over the network, thereby reducing transmission time and communication complexity.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a system for backing up and recovering data, which comprises a mobile terminal and a server. The mobile terminal comprises: a parameter backup module, being configured to receive a backup request for backing up system setting parameters of the mobile terminal, and enable the mobile terminal to transmit the system setting parameters to a network server according to the backup request so that the system setting parameters are backed up by the network server; a request-for-recovery module, being configured to receive a recovery request for recovering the system setting parameters to the mobile terminal and enable the mobile terminal to transmit the recovery request to the network server; and a recovery control module, being configured to receive the system setting parameters that are transmitted by the network server according to the recovery request and control to recover a system state of the mobile terminal to a state that is set by the system setting parameters. In this way, the present disclosure can back up the system setting parameters of the mobile terminal to the server, and recover the system setting parameters from the server to the mobile terminal during a data recovery. Thus, the present disclosure brings great convenience and a new experience to users.
