摘要:
Mobile devices such as cell phones, “smart” phones, personal data assistants (PDA's) and the like are equipped for accessing and storing all types of media, including movies, music, software applications, as well as copious amounts of associated data. Accordingly, a need exists for methods, apparatuses and computer program products that assist mobile device users in archiving data, configuring the data, and restoring the data to the same device, or a new mobile device running the same or different operating system. Embodiments of the claimed invention address the above needs and/or achieve other advantages by providing systems for archiving data on a mobile electronic device on a plurality of data storage media, and by providing similar means of restoring the archived data to the same or different mobile device.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing users/customers instantaneous access to mobile payment transaction history data. As such the mobile payment user can track mobile payment spending and budget accordingly. In addition, embodiments provide for the user to search transaction history to identify specific mobile payment transactions for the purpose of identifying when, where and the amount of a prior mobile payment transaction. Moreover, the user is provided the ability to verify that no unauthorized transactions occurred in the event that the user re-acquires possession of a mobile payment device that was previously lost, misappropriated or misplaced, or, if unauthorized transactions did occur, the ability to quickly identify the location and amount of such unauthorized transactions.
