Embodiment Construction

[0024] I. System overview

[0025] Systems and methods for implementing a conflict resolution manager are provided. The Conflict Resolution Manager can be used to resolve conflicts that occur during synchronization operations.

[0026] The system may include a terminal 200 including a synchronization manager 201 . Terminal 200 may be connected to one or more devices 202, 204 via couplings 206, 208, respectively. The respective devices 202, 204 may be or include, for example, mobile communication devices, laptop computers, gaming devices, cameras, computer terminals, and the like. Device 202 may include one or more files 210a, 212a, and device 204 may include one or more files 214a, 216a. Files 210a, 212a, 214a, 216a may be, for example, versions of files 210b, 212b, 214b, 216b stored on terminal 200, respectively. Accordingly, files 210a, 212a, 214a, 216a may be the same as or similar to files 210b, 212b, 214b, 216b, respectively.

Abstract

A system and method are provided for implementing conflict resolution in a sync manager. In case of a conflict, the sync operation creates and stores a conflict object, and resumes the sync operation without requiring user input. The sync operation can thus be completed without user input and the user may choose to resolve outstanding conflicts, either on-line or off-line, at a convenient time. Furthermore, the invention provides a platform for developing standardized, user-friendly sync operations. In addition, the invention presents a centralized location that allows a user to quickly and easily resolve conflicts originating from many devices.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for content resolution, and more particularly to systems and methods for providing user-friendly content resolution within a synchronization manager. Background technique [0002] Computer users in the current environment may use many different computing devices. For example, a computer user may use a stationary computer terminal, a laptop, and a Blackberry or other mobile device. Often, these computing devices are used to store similar or related information. For example, a calendar storing a user's appointment schedule may be presented on stationary computer terminals, laptop computers and mobile devices. As another example, a document may be stored on a stationary computer terminal and copied to a laptop computer where the user may edit the document. [0003] After updating or changing information on one device, a user may wish to transfer the updated information to another device...
