A tool for redundancy and recovery for a mobile device. Responsive to the mobile device unsuccessfully powering up, the tool activates a recovery functionality via a physical reset switch on the mobile device. Responsive to activating the recovery functionality, the tool scavenges for at least one resource to support a device functionality for the mobile device, wherein scavenging includes siphoning charge from a battery, a processor complex, or a wiring harness within a main module of the mobile device to accumulate sufficient energy to restore and power the one or more features available on the mobile device.

A method for dynamically modifying a mobile device. The method includes a computer processor identifying a plurality of profiles on a mobile device. The method further includes a computer processor receiving one or more inputs on the mobile device. The method further includes a computer processor identifying at least one trigger that corresponds to the received one or more inputs, wherein the at least one trigger is associated with at least one profile of the plurality of profiles. The method further includes a computer processor determining if the at least one trigger activates a response, based at least in part, on data included in the at least one profile that is associated with the at least one trigger. The method further includes a computer processor responding to the determination that the at least one trigger activates a response and applying the response to the mobile device.

Mobile computing device reconfiguration is response to environmental factors including downloading hardware and software associated with multiple users of the mobile device

A modular electronic device including a master core and a plurality of communication radio modules is provided. The modular electronic device maximizes communication performance by receiving a request for network operations from a mobile operating system of the modular electronic device; polling a table to determine a capacity of each communication radio module; and assigning the network operations to a module of the communication radio modules with a highest available capacity to maximize the communication performance of the modular electronic device.

Electronic devices with distributed radios

A tool for redundancy and recovery for a mobile device. The tool probes for one or more available resources on the mobile device, wherein probing for the one or more available resources includes gathering diagnostic information related to the one or more available resources. The tool determines a device functionality for the mobile device, wherein the device functionality is an energy conscious recovery plan including one or more features available on the mobile device. The tool scavenges for at least one resource to support the device functionality for the mobile device. The tool restores the device functionality for the mobile device, wherein restoring the device functionality includes utilizing the at least one resource and one or more energy conscious techniques.

Apparatus, systems and methods for maintaining connection to a wireless service provider on a mobile device. A mobile computing device having stored data and a morph engine is connected to a wireless service provider selected from a plurality of wireless service providers accessible by the mobile device. Triggering data is received at the mobile computing device, whereby the morph engine thereof compares this triggering data against the stored data to determine an optimal wireless service provider that maintains a wireless signal connection on the mobile device. The optimal wireless service provider is identified from the plurality of other wireless service providers, and the wireless signal connection on the mobile device is switched from the first wireless service provider to the optimal wireless service provider to maintain the wireless signal connection.
