Embodiment Construction
[0029] The present invention is now described in the context of SyncML being used to synchronize two or more devices acting as clients in a client / server model and synchronizing the respective data stores of one device acting as a server, and the present invention Used as a synchronization service. In addition to using SyncML, it should be understood that the present invention is equally applicable to synchronization according to other current or future protocols or formats, such as IrMC level 4, HotSync, IntelliSync, PCSync, MAL, and the like. It should also be understood that although the invention is described here for having a server device, running a service, and synchronizing two client devices, the invention also includes situations involving only two devices at a time, one acting as a server and the other as a as a client.
[0030] The essence of the present invention lies in the scanning module that the server device is in charge of, referred to herein as the synchro...

A method and apparatus by which a user of two or more client devices (10 11) each hosting a data store (10c 11c) can have the data stores kept synchronized by a server (12) (in some cases operated asasynchronizing service) in a way acceptable to the user even though at least one of the two data stores (10c) includes a data component (such as a field of a record) that is not in the other data stor e (11c) (or for which a correspondence from the one data store (10c) to the other data store (11c) in respect to the data component has not yet been set, including possibly a null correspondence). Anysuch so-called problem field is monitored by a sync field scanner (12g) usually hosted by the server, which alerts the user that a data component is a problem field only when the user first providesa value for the data component. The invention provides that, if possible, the sync field scanner (12g) automatically suggests to the user how to accommodate the problem field that occurs in one datasto re (10c) but not in the data store (11c).System by which a user of two (or more) client devices (10 11) each hosting a data store (10c 11c) can have the data stores kept synchronized by a server (12) (e.g. a server operated as a synchronizing service) in a way acceptable to the user even though one of the data stores (10c) includes a data component (such as a field of a record) that is not in the other data store (11c) (or for which a correspondence, including possibly a null correspondence, from the one data store (10c) to the other data store (11c) in respect to the data component has notyetbeen set). Any such so-called problem field is monitored by a sync field scanner (12g) usually hosted by the server, which alerts the user that a data component is a problem field only when the userfirst provides a value for the data component.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to synchronizing data stores on different devices including telecommunications and computing devices. More specifically, the invention relates to synchronizing data stores on different devices, each device having a data store in which one or more data components differ. Background technique [0002] Currently, it is possible for people engaged in business to utilize the data storage on a mobile phone or palmtop (handheld) computer to use an email application and a calendar application on the mobile phone or palmtop (i.e., with application for tracking appointments) and have the assistant use the same application on the desktop, thereby tracking emails the assistant sends and receives on behalf of the merchant, and tracking the merchant's appointments using the data storage on the desktop. Therefore, when changing any one of the data stores (the data store on the mobile device and the data store on the desktop), the data s...
