Disclosed herein are mobile devices that are configured to send data to a memory station and to be charged by that same memory station. The mobile device receives a trigger signal from the memory station responsive to the beginning of a charge cycle, the trigger signal indicating to the mobile device to initiate the backup process. The disclosed systems and methods include starting a backup application on the mobile device responsive to the trigger signal. The trigger signal is generated and transmitted wirelessly by the memory station responsive to the memory station detecting the beginning of a charging cycle. In this way, the mobile device can automatically execute a backup program or application without user intervention.

Automatic data backup and charging of mobile devices

Disclosed herein are memory stations that are configured to charge a mobile device, to receive data for storage from the mobile device, and to transmit a trigger signal to the mobile device responsive to the beginning of a charge cycle to initiate the backup process. The disclosed systems and methods include starting a backup application on a mobile device responsive to a trigger signal. The trigger signal is generated and transmitted wirelessly by a memory station responsive to the memory station detecting the beginning of a charging cycle. In this way, the mobile device can automatically execute a backup program or application without user intervention. The disclosed memory stations and related methods beneficially enable seamless data backup while charging a mobile device. This can be accomplished with no user intervention.
