METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR SYNCHRONIZING OF DATA PROVIDING FOR THE HANDLING OF AN INTERRUPTED SYNCHRONIZATION PROCESS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2004023233

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method, a network device and a system for allowing for resuming of a a preceding incomplete synchronization session, wherein the preceding incomplete synchronization has been interrupted during its performing. In principle the resuming of the preceding incomplete synchronization session is based on the following operations according to the inventive concept. A communication connection for synchronization of data between a first and a second device is established (steps 250-251). The first and the second device each comprise a predefined set of data records to be synchronized. A first and a second updat identifier are communicated between the first and the second device. The first uptdate identifier specifies a preceding incomplete synchronization session having been performed between them and the second update identifier specifies a preceding incomplete synchronization session having been performed between them. Synchronization related information is exchanged between the first and the second device (steps 252-254).
