Abstract
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.
