In step 302, the computer genre 12 of the catheter software 125 is executed. It is judged that the synchronization between Wei Wei and the electric system (3) is a violation of the computer system (4). If the synchronization occurs, the step ship is executed, and the =, (4) and (4) tendering devices (10) receive the main record and the score record.

(setting) The server connection is attempted only if the user sets the appropriate flag in the handheld computing device 110 to enable the server connection. If the synchronization of the server flag is not set, the computer system 120 performs Step 318. If the synchronization of the server flag has been set, the computer system 120 then proceeds to determine if the servo is in step 31.

If the game has been enabled for the game and the score pattern, the computer system 12 is in step ,, and then it is determined whether the connection through the communication network 13 is very high. In some embodiments, in order to begin processing, the connection to the game scoring device 14: must be present at the time of synchronization. In the example, if the electric job 12G is connected to the rating network on the synchronization day, or if the game scoring device 140 is in a state of no response, the data is not redeemed. In this example, the producer must synchronize again to try again. When the handheld computing device 110 restores (10), all records must be restored to the handheld computing device (10) during synchronization. In some implementations, the conflicting method is defeated. For the main recording and local scores, the handheld computing device 110 takes precedence over the computer system 120; for the server-based score, the computer system takes precedence over the handheld computing device. If the connection has been established, computer system 120 transmits the game score to the game scoring server just in step 314. If the connection is not established, then in the step, the training system (10) stores the main records and score records to prepare for future synchronization. In one embodiment, the game transmitted to the game scoring server HQ is split into a uniform resource • address (Uniform Resource Loc., URL) (or web address) format. In this embodiment, the uploaded game score is sent a URL, and _ the query string with the specific name/value parameter, to the game scoring server 140, which has a specific name/value parameter query string description A score of one of the specific games played on the user device. The server component that handles this query string can be a Java Servlet. This servlet should be written to handle HTTP Post or HTTP Get messages for a particular url in the same way. In other words, the doGet〇 and doP〇St() methods of the applet should be written to call the same logic program.
