ELECTRONIC DEVICE SYSTEM RESTORATION BY TAPPING MECHANISM

摘要

Technology disclosed herein includes a method for system restoration between computing devices by a tapping mechanism. A first device detects (e.g., via NFC) a second device in proximity. The first device transmits a user credential of the first device to the second device. Either directly or via a cloud storage service, the first device instructs the second device to download a copy of system data of the first device from the cloud storage service, instead of from the first device. The second device is able to restore a system state of the first device on the second device, using the user credential and the system data.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
detecting, at a first computing device, that a second computing device is in proximity to the first computing device; transmitting, from the first computing device to the second computing device, a user credential of the first computing device; and sending, from the first computing device to the second computing device, a location where a cloud storage service stores a copy of system data of the first computing device such that the second computing device can restore a system state of the first computing device on the second computing device; wherein the system data are stored in the first computing device, and the copy of the system data are backed up in the cloud storage service.
