  • the SPD process 150 can be of two types. In order to synchronize the NPD 130b in the PDR 125 or WAS 115 with the PD-M 140 comprising of the resultant SPD-M 140a, a mobile synchronization process (“MS process”) 150a is followed. In MS process 150a the NPD 130a is synchronized with the PD-M 140, to result in SPD-M 140a.

  • the present invention prescribes, as identified above, the SPD process 150 comprising of MS process 150a and SS process 150b.
  • MS process 150a synchronizes the NPD 130b in the PDR 125 or WAS 115 with the PD-M 140 to result in SPD-M 140a. It is noteworthy that all such processes can be performed only if the MD 105 is connected to the Internet 110. Synchronization takes place with the aid of known automated processing tools for such purposes. Similarly, the SS process is similar to the MS process, but for that the NPD-M 140b in the MDR 135 is synchronized with the PD 130 to result in SPD 130a. In MS process 150a synchronization is performed by downloading the NPD 130b onto the MDR 135.
  • both these processes can be performed automatically at a pre-determined times and or intervals, depending upon the implementer's choice.
  • FIG. 3.1. is a screenshot illustrating an aspect of the system relating to a user being enabled to upload and synchronize the personal data onto the PDR 125 or WAS 115 (refer Fig. 2).
  • a log-on screen is displayed for the user to login to upload all or selected personal data onto the PDR 125 or WAS 115 (refer Fig. 2).
  • This screen prompts the user to enter his / her User Name and Password, which can be remembered for future communications.
  • the login details are then authenticated by the WAS 115 or PDR 125, as the case may be. Following description assumes that the user has logged in to the PDR 125 or the WAS 115.

  • AU such selected personal data is sent in a specific format like CSV (Comma Separated Value) to the PDR 125 or WAS 115 via the Internet 110 (refer Fig. 1). Only fixed numbers of personal data at a time can be configured if required.
  • the personal data so synchronized is identified by appropriate manner as described above and is the resultant SPD 130a (refer Fig. 1). In accordance with the present invention, these synchronized SPD 130a will not be considered for synchronization the next time, unless specified otherwise by the user. In accordance with one of the objects of the present invention, this communication can happen in a secure way by using protocols like HTTPS.
  • the SS process 150b can be performed in an automated manner.
  • the uploading of the personal data onto the PDR 125 or the WAS 115 can be performed automatically after a pre-determined intervals, hi such mode, however, only NPD-M 140b (refer Fig. 1) will be synchronized to the PDR 125 or WAS 115 using the Internet 110.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une fonctionnalité destinée à télécharger vers l'amont et vers l'aval une liste de contact, des tâches et des rendez-vous d'un site Web ou d'une application Web sur un dispositif mobile ou PDA au moyen de protocoles basés sur Internet de type HTTP ou HTTPS. Il peut faire appel à un GPRS ou même un WIFI à condition que le dispositif mobile prenne en charge la même fonctionnalité. Ici l'utilisateur peut se connecter au site Web ou à l'application Web via le dispositif mobile. Ce dispositif mobile possède une application qui communique avec une application Web. L'application affiche des contacts courant, des tâches et des rendez-vous du dispositif mobile. L'utilisateur peut choisir de télécharger en amont soit tous les contacts, toutes les tâches et tous les rendez-vous ou d'en sélectionner directement dans l'application Web. Les contacts, les tâches ou les rendez-vous peuvent également être téléchargés en aval à partir de l'application Web. Celle-ci offre également une fonction de synchronisation automatique de tous les contacts, toutes les tâches et tous les rendez-vous.
