When the email is transmitted, the corresponding email material is taken out according to the mail storage location 130f. 上Note that although a single client device is taken as an example, the same situation can be applied to different client devices. In other words, when users use different client devices to send and receive emails, they can use different devices. Establish individual tagging databases. This embodiment will explain how to use these tagging materials and databases to achieve the purpose of email data synchronization. Figure 5 shows that in this embodiment, when two client devices perform A block diagram of the hardware architecture when electronic and document data are synchronized. As shown in the figure, the client device 10 and the client device 20 are connected to synchronize e-mail data. As mentioned earlier, the client device 10 includes a central processing unit 100, a communication circuit 101, an input device 102, an output device 103, a storage device and a memory 105. In addition, the client device 20 also includes a central processing unit 200, a communication circuit 201, an input device 202, an output device 203, a storage device outline, and a main memory such as 5. The part connected between the two is the communication circuit and 2G1 ', which can use parallel port, serial port or infrared communication to achieve the actual connection.

At this time, the tag databases of the client devices 10 and 20 and their corresponding email databases are stored in the storage devices 104 and 204, respectively. When the client device 20 issues a f-mail material synchronization instruction, that is, after the user issues a synchronization instruction through the input device 202, the central processing unit 200 will transmit this instruction to the communication palace 201 and 101 ' Client-side equipment 10. After the central processing unit 100 of the client device 10 receives the synchronization instruction, it will read the tag database (corresponding to the client device 10) in the storage device 104 and transfer it to the client device. 20. When the central processing unit 200 receives the sent tag database (corresponding to the client device 10), it will first store it in the main memory 205, and then store it in its own storage device 204. The readout tag database (corresponding to the client device 20) is similarly stored in the main memory 205, and finally the two tag databases are compared. In the above processing process, the user-end device 20 is mainly used as a device for comparing mark data, so all the mark databases are sent to the user-end device 20. However, the device for comparing the marked data may also be set on the client device 10. In other words, when the client device 20 issues a synchronization instruction, it also superimposes its corresponding tag database to the client device 10; then the client device 10 2 transmits the tag δ material library and its own tag data. The library also stores in the memory body 105 'ready for comparison. The following description still uses the client terminal as the comparison device. ,,, α, < When the central processing unit 200 of the client device 20 compares the rubber post, according to the relevant information in it, determine all the current data stored in the rain end. Then ’first update the standard data stored in the main memory 205. ^ The standard is applicable to Chinese national standards.
