System and method of consulting device information

Abstract

System and method for negotiating device information and device thereof are disclosed by the present invention. The system includes a server and a client interacting with each other, and the system further includes a device information server which is configured to store device information, respectively perform an information interaction with the client and the server, and respectively provide the device information to the client and the server. The method includes the processes as follows: sending, by a network entity initiating a data synchronization process, a data synchronization initialization request carrying the identifier of the network entity initiating a data synchronization process to a destination network entity of the data synchronization process; accessing, by the destination network entity of the data synchronization process, the network entity for storing device information according to the identifier, acquiring the device information corresponding to the identifier according to the stored corresponding relation and the stored device information, and sending out a response to the network entity initiating the data synchronization process. With the system, method and device thereof provided by the present invention, the data transmission flow is decreased and the time for the data synchronization is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a technology for processing equipment information during data synchronization, in particular to a system and method for negotiating equipment information during data synchronization. Background technique [0002] The SyncML initiative was created in February 2000 in order to synchronize personal information and corporate data between multiple platforms and networks. The purpose of creating SyncML initiative is to enable users, equipment developers, infrastructure developers, data providers, application software developers, and service providers to work together, so that any client can access any network data anytime, anywhere. [0003] The typical application of SyncML is data synchronization between mobile devices and network service devices. In addition, it can also be used for data synchronization between two peer devices, such as data synchronization between two computers. figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of data synchro...

Problems solved by technology

[0033] This kind of device information negotiation process in the data synchronization initialization stage has disadvantages: First, most of the device information is static information, which has been fixed since the client leaves the factory or when the client is synchronized. Transmission during information negotiation wastes the bandwidth of the data synchronization network and prolongs the time of data synchronization, increasing the traffic charges of users using the client; secondly, the SyncMLInitialization Message in The command cannot accurately obtain a specific element or attribute value of the device information; finally, there is no negotiation mechanism for the dynamic information in the device information, such as a client that supports pluggable storage devices. When changing, cannot negotiate with the server
