ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF BACKING UP SECURE ELEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17848905 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF BACKING UP SECURE ELEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a secure element for storing content applications and backup data. The device also has a processor and memory for executing instructions. When a backup request is received from an external device, the device loads encrypted backup data from the secure element and transmits it to the external device. Once the backup is completed, the backup data is set to an unavailable state.

  • The electronic device has a secure element for storing content applications and backup data.
  • It can receive backup requests from external devices.
  • The device can load encrypted backup data from the secure element.
  • It can transmit the backup data to the external device.
  • The device can receive messages about backup completion from the external device.
  • It can set the backup data to an unavailable state.

Potential Applications

  • Data backup and recovery for electronic devices.
  • Secure storage and transfer of content applications and backup data.

Problems Solved

  • Ensures the availability and integrity of backup data.
  • Provides a secure method for transferring backup data to external devices.

Benefits

  • Simplifies the backup process for electronic devices.
  • Protects sensitive content applications and backup data.
  • Enables efficient and secure data recovery.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a secure element storing at least one content application and backup data associated with the at least one content application; a memory storing instructions; and a processor electrically connected to the secure element and the memory and configured to executed the instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor causes the processor to perform a plurality of operations comprising: when receiving a message requesting a backup operation from an external electronic device, loading encrypted backup data from the secure element, transmitting the backup data to the external electronic device, and when receiving a message about backup completion from the external electronic device, setting the backup data to an unavailable state.
