Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes identifying critical data on a primary storage of a mobile device, where the primary storage is powered by a primary battery component. The critical data is backed up from the primary storage to a secondary storage. A charge level of the primary battery component is detected. It is determined that the charge level of the primary battery component is less than a minimum threshold. The mobile device is switched from a primary mode to a secondary mode, based on the charge level being less than the minimum threshold. A secondary battery component powers the secondary storage in the secondary mode, and the critical data is accessible on the secondary storage in the secondary mode.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying critical data on a primary storage of a mobile device, wherein the mobile device includes a plurality of internal devices including the primary storage that receive power from the primary battery component during the primary mode;
- backing up the critical data from the primary storage to a secondary storage;
- detecting a charge level of the primary battery component;
- determining that the charge level of the primary battery component is less than a minimum threshold;
- switching the mobile device from a primary mode to a secondary mode, based on the charge level being less than the minimum threshold;
- predicting temporary data that will be accessed during a critical period extending until an expected recharge time of the mobile device;
- and
- adding the temporary data to the critical data, wherein the temporary data is backed up from the primary storage to the secondary storage,
- wherein a secondary battery component only powers fewer than all of the plurality of internal devices including the secondary storage during the secondary mode.
A system comprising:
- a memory having computer-readable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors for executing the computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions comprising:
- identifying critical data on a primary storage of a mobile device, wherein the mobile device includes a plurality of internal devices including the primary storage that receive power from the primary battery component during the primary mode;
- backing up the critical data from the primary storage to a secondary storage;
- detecting a charge level of the primary battery component;
- determining that the charge level of the primary battery component is less than a minimum threshold;
