  • Synchronization of data on survey devices
    Patent number: 8051108
    Abstract: Tools for synchronizing survey data between one or more survey devices and a surveying office application. The disclosed tools can help to ensure that each of the devices, and the office application, have consistent data. An exemplary tool might detect a change to data in an office application, identify any affected files on one or more survey devices, and ensure that the affected files are updated with the appropriate information. Conversely, in other aspects, a data inconsistency (which might be caused by a data change in the office application and/or on one or more of the survey devices) might be detected, and tools might be provided to enable a user to ensure that the correct version of the data is maintained by the system.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 1, 2011
    Assignee: Trimble Navigation Limited
    Inventors: Charles V. Gebben, Gregory A. Kessinger, Gary D. Lantaff, Quan E. Mueller
