## Abstract

A method for storing large amounts of data on a wireless device, said method comprising the steps of placing a wireless device on a wireless transmission unit; initializing the wireless device for transmission of data; authenticating the wireless device with an associated account or profile; verifying the storage capacity of the wireless device; determining what wireless standard is implemented by the device; and transmitting data to the wireless device; whereby the transmitted information may be later viewed and or accessed locally from the wireless device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for storing large amounts of data on a wireless device, said method comprising the steps of:
placing a wireless device on a wireless transmission unit, wherein the wireless device comprises a wireless power source that is a small form factor battery that is 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm wide and has a capacity of at least 120 mA;
initializing the wireless device for transmission of data;
authenticating the wireless device with an associated account or profile;
verifying the storage capacity of the wireless device;
determining what wireless standard is implemented by the device; and
transmitting data to the wireless device;
whereby the transmitted data is available to be later viewed and or accessed locally from the wireless device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein data uploaded to said wireless device is performed at a remote facility, wherein the remote facility is a kiosk.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein said data associated with said wireless device comprises media capable of playback.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein said wireless transmission unit further serves as a wireless charging station.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:
charging the wireless device to increase the stored amount of power; and
updating the associated account to reflect most recent transfer or access of data.

### Claim 6

A portable system for personal data storage comprising:
a wireless transceiver;
flash storage;
a processor;
a wireless power source, wherein the wireless power source is a small form factor battery that is 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm wide and has a capacity of at least 120 mA; and
an enclosure that is completely sealed without any ports.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The portable system of claim 6, further comprising an external display.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The portable system of claim 7, wherein the wireless power source comprises of either Qi or A4WP.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The portable system of claim 7, wherein the external display is an LCD, OLED, or lower power screen.

### Claim 11 (depends on 6)

The portable system of claim 6, further comprising a Bluetooth communication device.

### Claim 12 (depends on 6)

The portable system of claim 6, further comprising a fingerprint scanner.

### Claim 13

A method of wirelessly charging and wirelessly transferring significant amounts of playback capable media, comprising the steps of:
placing a wireless device on a wireless transmission unit;
authenticating a wireless device based on device information and associated user profile;
determining an amount of available storage;
charging the wireless device, wherein the wireless device comprises a wireless power source that is a small form factor battery that is 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm wide and has a capacity of at least 120 mA;
receiving, via at least one wireless transmission unit, communication signals from at least one transceiver;
uploading requested information for playback.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)
