  • a first step includes establishing a communication connection for synchronization of data between a first device and a second device each comprising a set of data to be synchronized.
  • a second step includes transmitting a first update identifier and a second update identifier, the first update identifier denoting a preceding complete synchronization event having been performed between the first device and the second device, a value of the first update identifier having been stored at least in the first device, the second update identifier denoting a preceding incomplete synchronization event having been started between the first device and the second device, a value of the second update identifier having been stored at least in the first device.
  • Transfer at the lower layer can be performed according to the underlying network using e.g. short messages SMS (short message service) or other signaling type transmission methods (e.g. USSD; unstructured supplementary service data), circuit-switched data calls, packet-switched data transfer services as well as paging message service, messages provided via cell broadcast and the like.

  • the SyncML packages is simply a conceptual framework for one or more SyncML messages that are physically exchanged between the synchronizing devices and that are required to convey a set of synchronization information and commands. Not all SyncML packages are involved in any of the types of synchronization provided by the SyncML standard. The exact number of the SyncML messages depends on the amount of information to be conveyed. A coarse overview of the SyncML packages is described in the following list. A detailed description can be obtained from the SyncML standard documents.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé, un dispositif réseau et un système permettant de reprendre une session de synchronisation incomplète précédente, cette session de synchronisation incomplète précédente ayant été interrompue pendant son exécution. En principe, la reprise de la session de synchronisation incomplète précédente est fondée sur les opérations suivantes, selon le concept de l'invention. Une connexion de communication pour la synchronisation de données entre un premier et un second dispositif est établie. Lesdits premier et second dispositifs comprennent chacun un ensemble prédéfini d'enregistrements de données à synchroniser. Deux identificateurs de mise à jour sont communiqués entre le premier et le second dispositif. Le premier identificateur de mise à jour spécifie une session de synchronisation complète précédente ayant été réalisée entre eux et le second identificateur de mise à jour spécifie une session de synchronisation incomplète précédente ayant été réalisée entre eux. Des informations associées à la synchronisation sont échangées entre le premier et le second dispositif.
