Abstract
The described embodiments relate generally to methods, systems and devices for maintaining data integrity of a removable media card of a handheld electronic device, particularly when such media card is removed from such device.
Claims20
A method for maintaining data integrity on removable storage media of an electronic device, the device having:
- a media port configured to releasably receive the storage media;
- a movable barrier;
- and
- a detector configured to detect when the barrier is moved,
- the steps of the method comprising:
- detecting when the barrier is moved to an open position;
- and
- more frequently updating the data stored on the removable storage media in response to the detecting.
5 more elements
An electronic device, comprising:
- a media port configured to releasably receive storage media;
- a moveable barrier;
- a detector configured to detect when the barrier is moved;
- a processor operatively coupled to the media port and to the detector wherein the processor is configured to request input upon the detector detecting when the barrier is moved.
