  • System and methods for communicating between multiple devices for synchronization
    Patent number: 6487560
    Abstract: A system and methods for synchronizing information in datasets via a communication medium are provided that are suitable for synchronizing even across communication mediums that are susceptible to high latency, non-FIFO (non-First-In-First-Out) delivery order, or other adverse characteristics. According to an aspect of the invention, a computer-implemented method is for synchronizing user data in a first dataset with user data in at least a second dataset via a communication medium. The user data in the first dataset and the user data in the second dataset are capable of having been independently modified prior to the synchronization.
    Type: Grant

  • SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR SYNCHRONIZING DATASETS USING VERSION INDICATORS TO DETECT OBSOLETE CHANGES
    Publication number: 20020156798
    Abstract: A system and methods for synchronizing information in datasets via a communication medium are provided that are suitable for synchronizing even across communication mediums that are susceptible to high latency, non-FIFO (non-First-In-First-Out) delivery order, or other adverse characteristics. According to an aspect of the invention, in an information processing system, a method for synchronizing a first dataset with at least a second dataset via a communication medium includes a step of storing information that is indicative of a first version of user data of the first dataset, wherein the first version has been involved in prior use for synchronizing with the second dataset.
