Benefits of technology

[0007] Aspects of the invention relate to providing a system and method that promote easy activation of new servers for client devices (which may or may not include portable devices or mobile devices). In the first aspect, the client may automatically create a new profile for a newly uncovered server based on preconfigured profiles. The preconfigured profiles may or may not be hidden from a user. These and other aspects are described below.

Problems solved by technology

Despite the ease of interoperability once a client and a server has been authenticated and initialized with respect to each other, the initial setup process between a client and a new server can be difficult.
This manual interaction may prohibit the adoption of SyncML as a usable standard among various platforms.
Further, user experience is often poor for devices requiring profiles.
Otherwise, the SyncML-enabled cell phone may continually attempt to sync with the server in the car yet timeout because of the lack of an appropriate profile on the client.
This is a poor user experience.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Aspects of the present invention are described below that relate to automatic retrieval of preconfigured, hidden profiles for a new server so as to be able to synchronize information with a client. For the purposes of explanation, equivalent parts as described herein are referenced by the same reference numerals.

[0020] It is noted that various connections are set forth between elements in the following description. It is noted that these connections in general and, unless specified otherwise, may be direct or indirect and that this specification is not intended to be limiting in this respect.

[0021]FIG. 1 shows the various devices between which synchronization based on the synchronization markup language (SyncML) may occur. A certain database content of preferably mobile terminals may be harmonized with database content provided by designated devices. Conventionally, mobile terminals act as synchronization clients harmonizing or synchronizing certain pre-defined data with th...

Abstract

A system and method for storing and retrieving preconfigured, hidden SyncML server profiles on a client is described. Conventionally, users of client devices need to manually configure the devices to allow for synchronization with new servers via SyncML. Preconfigured SyncML profiles allow a client to synchronize with a SyncML server without having to generate a new SyncML profile, thereby improving user experience. The preconfigured SyncML profiles may be hidden from a user or displayable to a user.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] Aspects of the invention relate generally to a method and device for handling synchronization related information between portable and / or mobile devices and databases. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Users desire to keep data synchronized on their portable devices. Data of portable terminals, such as portable computers, PDA terminals (personal digital assistant), mobile stations or pagers, can be synchronized with network applications, applications of desktop computers, or with other databases of the telecommunications system. In particular, data of calendar and e-mail applications are typically synchronized between desktop computers or other databases and portable devices. Also, additional devices may include the ability to synchronize information. For instance, a digital camera may be able to synchronize pictures with a central picture managing server, providing an easy way to upload images from a digital camera. [0003] To improve synchronization o...
