Problems solved by technology

Moreover, due to the low cost of fixed telephone terminals, the addition of means allowing synchronization runs the risk of increasing the price of these terminals in a daunting manner
[0005] Additionally, existing synchronization devices such as the SyncML standard require bandwidth and processing power that exceed the current capacity of landline telephones

Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 The shown system according to the invention comprises a server 10 having an input / output 12 for connection to a wired or wireless fixed telephone terminal 16 via a fixed telephone network 14 . In practice, the server 10 is connected to the network 14 via an F-SMSC (Fixed SMS Center) server.

[0035] Furthermore, the server 10 may be connected to the Internet via, for example, a SyncML interface for receiving and broadcasting telephone directory or address book data. These data originate from or are transmitted to the mobile phone 22, computer 24 and personal digital assistant 26 (PDA "Personal Digital Assistant"), possibly via other synchronization servers.

[0036] The phone 16 is an SMS phone, ie it is capable of sending and receiving SMS messages. For transmitting and receiving SMS messages, each telephone terminal 16 includes a sub-address so that the terminal can be distinguished from different terminals connected to the same line (ie, having the same ca...

Abstract

The invention relates to a terminal and server for the synchronisation of contact data. More specifically, the invention relates to a fixed telephone terminal (16) comprising a telephone directory and means for transmitting and receiving SMS messages. According to the invention, the terminal also comprises: means for converting data from the telephone directory into SMS messages in order to transmit same to a server (10), and / or means for receiving SMS messages from the server, said messages representing data from the directory, and means for converting the SMS messages received into input for the directory. In one embodiment of the invention, the terminal also comprises means for requesting the automatic synchronisation or manual synchronisation of the directory.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for synchronizing content data, particularly names and phone numbers, between various types of terminals. Background technique [0002] Electronic address books or telephone directories are now commonly used in both private and business domains. Typically, users have multiple databases of this type: on their computer, on their mobile phone, on their landline, and on their electronic diary or personal assistant. Of course, it is preferred that modifications made to the address book on one of the terminals be transferred to the other terminal in a simple manner. This operation is often called synchronization. [0003] This synchronization is common to mobile phones, computers and personal assistants. For example, according to a standard known as "SyncML" that is independent of the transmission device, or according to a dedicated interface (for example, "HotSync" for personal assistants in the "PalmOS" operatin...
