This operation state is displayed on the display 16.

  FIG. 2 is a block circuit diagram showing a circuit function of the charging system 10 for a portable communication terminal with a data backup function. In FIG. 2, the mobile communication terminal 11 includes a backup memory 19 that stores various data, a radio unit 20 that makes and receives calls and transmits / receives data, and a control that controls various components of the mobile communication terminal 11. A unit 21, a battery 22, a charging terminal 23 connected to the charger 12 for data backup, and a data terminal 24 for data transmission / reception with respect to the charger 12 are provided.

When the charger 12 is connected to the mobile communication terminal 11, the charger 12 temporarily supplies power to the battery 22 of the mobile communication terminal 11 to charge and the data read from the memory 19 of the mobile communication terminal 11. Flash memory 26a to be stored, backup memory 26b to store the data stored in the flash memory 26a as backup data, a communication control calculation unit 27 for controlling each component of the charger 12, and mobile communication A charging terminal 28 connected to the battery 22 of the terminal 11, a data terminal 29 for data transmission / reception with respect to the mobile communication terminal 11, and an operation unit 30 provided with the cross key 14, the determination key 15, and the like are provided.

  Further, the charging terminal 28 and the data terminal 29 are disposed in the receiving recess 13, and when the mobile communication terminal 11 is received in the receiving recess 13, the charging terminal 23 and the charging terminal 28, the data terminal 24 and the data The terminal 29 is connected to each other.

  The communication control calculation unit 27 is configured by a microcomputer (commonly called “microcomputer”), and the data stored in the memory 19 of the mobile communication terminal 11 is transferred via the flash memory 26a by the procedure of a program incorporated in advance. Thus, the backup process finally stored in the backup memory 26b and the restore process for restoring the memory 19 of the mobile communication terminal 11 from the backup memory 26b again are performed.

  Next, backup processing for storing data stored in the memory 19 of the mobile communication terminal 11 in the backup memory 26b, and restore operation for restoring data from the backup memory 26b to the memory 19 of the mobile communication terminal 11 again Will be described.

  In order to perform backup processing and restoration processing using the charger 12, it is necessary to perform initial registration of the mobile communication terminal 11 with respect to the charger 12 and selection of a processing mode. These operations can be performed by using the cross key 14 and the enter key 15 shown in FIG. 1 of the operation unit 30 and following the guide displayed on the display 16 shown in FIG. Further, even when initial registration and processing mode are not selected, an operation only for charging can be performed.

(Initial registration process)
Initial registration of the mobile communication terminal 11 with respect to the charger 12 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the user switches the charger 12 to the initial registration request mode using the cross key 14 and the enter key 15 (step S1).

  Subsequently, the mobile communication terminal 11 is inserted and disposed in the receiving recess 13 of the charger 12 (step S2). FIG. 1 shows a state in which the mobile communication terminal 11 is disposed in the receiving recess 13 of the charger 12. Thereby, the charging terminal 28 of the charger 12 and the charging terminal 23 of the portable communication terminal 11 are connected, and further, the data terminal 29 of the charger 12 and the data terminal 24 of the portable communication terminal 11 are connected.

  When the mobile communication terminal 11 is placed in the receiving recess 13, an initial registration request signal is sent to the communication control calculation unit 27 (step S3). The communication control calculation unit 27 determines whether or not there is a remaining capacity for storing data in the backup memory 26b (step S4), and if not, displays that fact on the display 16 and ends.

  On the other hand, if there is a remaining capacity, the portable communication terminal 11 is requested for a portable identification signal (step S5), an ID signal is received from the portable communication terminal 11 (step S6), and ID registration is performed (step S7). ). The ID signal here is, for example, a telephone number or a mail address held by the control unit 21 of the mobile communication terminal 11.

Subsequently, registration of a password (password) is requested, and when the password is registered, the initial registration is completed (steps S8, S9, S10). The mobile communication terminal 11 is now connected to the charger 12
Can be used to receive data backup processing and data restoration processing.

(Data backup processing)
Next, an operation (backup process) when data stored in the memory 19 of the mobile communication terminal 11 is stored in the backup memory 26 will be described with reference to FIG. First, to execute the backup process, the user switches the charger 12 to the backup process mode using the cross key 14 and the enter key 15 (step S11).

  Subsequently, the user inserts the mobile communication terminal 11 into the receiving recess 13 of the charger 12 (step S12). When power is supplied from the charger 12, the control unit 21 of the mobile communication terminal 11 detects the remaining amount of the battery 22, and starts charging processing if charging is necessary.

  On the other hand, the communication control calculation unit 27 of the charger 12 automatically requests a portable identification signal from the portable communication terminal 11 inserted and arranged in the receiving recess 13 (step S13). When the received ID signal is received (step S14), registration determination is performed (step S15).

  If any data matches in the registration determination, it is regarded as the mobile communication terminal 11 registered in the charger 12, and a data request signal is automatically issued from the charger 12 (step S16). When the mobile communication terminal 11 receives the data request signal, it starts data transfer. The charger 12 receives the data (step S17), and once stores the data in the flash memory 26a. Therefore, data is protected even if the mobile communication terminal 11 is disconnected from the charger 12 during data transfer.

  The data stored in the flash memory 26a is then stored as backup data in the backup memory 26b in the charger 12, and the backup process ends (step S18). Here, the data backup is not to save only the current data of the mobile communication terminal 11, but even if it does not exist in the current data, all the data existing in the past and before the data is deleted. Save without.

  In the registration determination in step S14, if any data does not match, the data is not backed up, and if the initial registration shown in FIG. 3 is completed, the backup process can be performed.

(Data restoration processing)
Next, an operation (restoration process) when data backed up in the backup memory 26b of the charger 12 is restored to the memory 19 of the mobile communication terminal 11 will be described with reference to FIG. First, to execute the restore process, the user switches the charger 12 to the restore process mode using the cross key 14 and the enter key 15 (step S21).

  Subsequently, the user inserts the mobile communication terminal 11 into the receiving recess 13 of the charger 12 (step S22). When power is supplied from the charger 12, the control unit 21 of the mobile communication terminal 11 detects the remaining amount of the battery 22, and starts charging processing if charging is necessary.

  On the other hand, the communication control calculation unit 27 of the charger 12 automatically requests a portable identification signal and a password from the portable communication terminal 11 inserted and arranged in the receiving recess 13 (step S23). An ID signal composed of a portable identification signal and a password sent from the terminal is received (step S24), and the ID signal data is determined after the reception (step S25).

In the ID signal data determination in step S25, when the ID signal data matches the registered data, it is regarded as a user who normally owns the mobile communication terminal 11, and is stored in the backup memory 26b of the charger 12. Is transferred to the memory 19 of the mobile communication terminal 11 (step S26), and the data is restored to the memory 19 of the mobile communication terminal 11 (steps S27 and S28).

  If any data does not match in the registration determination in step S25, data transfer to the mobile communication terminal 11 is not performed, and that effect is displayed on the display 16. This makes data acquisition by a third party impossible.

  Therefore, according to the charging system in this embodiment, it is possible to smoothly back up the data of a plurality of mobile communication terminals 11 without mixing the data, so that one charger 12 is replaced with a plurality of mobile communication terminals 11. Can be shared. In addition, since the backup data from the determined storage location is restored to the determined mobile communication terminal 11, data protection for a third party can be performed.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, even when the owner replaces a new mobile phone (mobile communication terminal) when restoring the backup data, the data can be restored smoothly without being mixed. In this case, the communication control calculation unit of the charger 12 performs ID signal data determination without requesting a portable identification signal. In other words, the identification of the owner is performed only with a password or fingerprint authentication without identifying the mobile phone.

  For example, when the owner newly purchases a mobile phone, the owner is identified by a password or fingerprint authentication instead of the mobile phone, and is stored in the backup memory of the charger 12. Various kinds of data can be directly taken into the memory of a new mobile phone purchased by the owner.

    According to the present invention, by connecting the charger 12 and a personal computer with a USB cable or the like, various data stored in the mobile phone can be centrally managed by the personal computer.

  It should be noted that the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention naturally extends to the modified ones.
