Patent ID: 10282131

Abstract:
Enablement of backup and restoration of specific data (SD) without creating a new firmware. An electronic device includes a system control, data-acquisition, and data-restoration sections. The system-control section downloads, from an application-providing-server, an application having an SD backup-procedure and a data-restoration-procedure of the SD based on the backup-procedure and the data restoration-procedure. A storage-section stores the downloaded application. The data-acquisition section executes the application to acquire the SD. The data-restoration section executes the application to restore the SD. The system control section causes, during the backup-procedure, transmit the SD acquired by the data-actuation-section to a backup-server and delete, thereafter, the application stored in the storage device. The system control section causes, during the data-restoration-procedure, to download the SD from the backup-server to use the downloaded SD, and to delete the application after the data-restoration section completes the restoration of the SD.
