Non-volatile storage device with contactless interface

1. An integrated storage device for storing a data package received wirelessly from a remote base station, comprising:

(a) a primary non-volatile storage medium which is accessible when electrically connected via a wired power link to an appliance power supply of an appliance;

(b) a secondary non-volatile storage device;

(c) an antenna, configured to wirelessly receive from the remote base station:

(i) the data package; and

(ii) electrical energy for powering said secondary non-volatile storage device for storing the data package: and

(d) a processor arrangement permanently operationally connected to said secondary non-volatile storage device and said primary non-volatile storage medium, said processor arrangement being configured for automatically copying the data package from said secondary non-volatile storage device to said primary non-volatile storage medium after said primary non-volatile storage medium is electrically connected to said appliance power supply.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

(e) a housing, wherein said secondary non-volatile storage device, said primary non-volatile storage medium and said processor arrangement are disposed in said housing.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein said primary non-volatile storage medium is configured to store at least one megabyte of data.

4. A method for storing data in an integrated storage device, the storage device including a primary non-volatile storage medium, a secondary non-volatile storage device and an antenna, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) wirelessly receiving an electrical energy via the antenna;

(b) powering the secondary non-volatile storage device using said electrical energy;

(c) wirelessly receiving a data package from a remote base station via the antenna;

(d) storing said data package in the secondary non-volatile storage device when the secondary non-volatile storage device is powered only by said electrical energy;

(e) electrically connecting the primary non-volatile storage medium to an appliance power supply of an appliance via a wired power link; and

(f) after said step of electrically connecting, automatically copying said data package from the secondary non-volatile storage device to the primary non-volatile storage medium using electrical power of said appliance power supply.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising the step of:

(g) reading a user identification from the secondary non-volatile storage device, by said remote base station, said step of receiving said data package being contingent on verification of said user identification by said remote base station.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said data package includes a transaction log item.

7. The method of claim 4 , further comprising the step of:

(g) at least partially configuring at least one of the storage device and said appliance using said data package, when the storage device is electrically connected to said appliance power supply.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising the step of:

(h) packaging the storage device, wherein said steps of receiving a data package and storing said data package are performed after said step of packaging.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein said data package includes a configuration data set.

10. The method of claim 4 , further comprising the step of:

(g) operationally connecting the storage device to said appliance, wherein said appliance is a camera.

11. The method of claim 4 , further comprising the step of:

(g) operationally connecting the storage device to said appliance, wherein said appliance is a cellular telephone.

12. The method of claim 4 , further comprising the step of:

(g) operationally connecting the storage device to said appliance, wherein said appliance is a personal processing system.
