System and method of managing memory at a portable computing device and a portable computing device docking station

Abstract

A method of managing a portable computing device (PCD) memory and a PCD docking station memory is disclosed and may include determining whether any changes in the PCD memory have occurred since a previous backup when the PCD is docked with the PCD docking station and backing up the PCD memory to the PCD docking station memory when changes in the PCD memory have occurred. Further, the method may include determining a memory requirement for each application stored on the PCD memory and determining whether any application memory requirement equals a transfer condition. Also, the method may include transferring each application associated with the application memory requirement that equals the transfer condition from the PCD memory to the PCD docking station memory and deleting each transferred application from the PCD memory.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
