Abstract: A database synchronization system is disclosed. In the database synchronization system, a synchronization database (355) is created. The synchronization database stores a relative sent time that specifies when each database last attempted to send records to each other database, a relative receive time that specifies when each database last attempted to received records from each other database, and a relative record modified time that specifies when each record in each database was last created or modified. The synchronization system operates by comparing each record modified time to the relative sent time and the relative receive time. Records are only sent from a first database (31 5) to a second database (325) if the relative record modified time for that record designates a later time than the relative sent time that specifies when the first database last sent records to the second database and the relative record modified time specifies an earlier time than the relative receive time that specifies the time the first database last received records from the second database. To eliminate possible loops, identical records are discarded.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种数据库同步系统。 在数据库同步系统中，创建同步数据库（355）。 同步数据库存储相对发送的时间，指定每个数据库上次尝试向每个其他数据库发送记录的时间，相对接收时间，指定每个数据库上次尝试从每个数据库接收记录的时间，以及指定的相对记录修改时间 当每个数据库中的每个记录最后创建或修改时。 同步系统通过将每个记录修改时间与相对发送时间和相对接收时间进行比较来操作。 如果该记录的相对记录修改时间指定比指定何时第一个数据库最后发送记录到第二个数据库的相对发送时间的更晚的时间，则记录仅从第一数据库（31 5）发送到第二数据库（325） 并且相对记录修改时间指定比指定第一数据库最后从第二数据库接收记录的时间的相对接收时间更早的时间。 为了消除可能的循环，丢弃相同的记录。

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for utilizing bookmarks on a wireless client device (100). By operating a button on the device keypad (108), one of a plurality of bookmarks is selected. A compact request is then transmitted to a proxy server device (116) for the document or file represented by the selected bookmark and the universal resource locator thereof is obtained. Thereafter, a non-compact request for that document or file, including the universal resource locator, is prepared and forwarded to a remote server identified by at least a portion of the universal resource locator. Particular keys on the keypad can be assigned bookmarks whereby pressing and holding the assigned key generates the bookmark.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved techniques for reducing delays faced by users of mobile devices (100) due to unavailability of wireless networks.
In one technique, the mobile device can connect to a remote server through a network and has an application (102) that executes on the device. An asynchronous message manager (110) manages the sending of outgoing messages produced from the application that are to be sent to the remote server through the network and have been stored in an asynchronous message queue. Thus processing at the device can continue while the asynchronous request is processed in the background. In another technique, a content channel including resources can be loaded into a reserved portion of a cache memory of the device from the remote server through the wireless network provided it will fit. Thus, these resources are guaranteed to be locally available, regardless of availability of the wireless network. In another technique, lists displayed at the mobile device are manipulated by local processing on the device with changes being thereafter notified over the wireless network These various techniques can be used separately or in combination.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for caching credential information within a communication system. A set of client devices (106, 107) communicate using a first communication network (102) to access resources (205, 206, 207), available on a second data network (104), within a protected realm (230) where the protected realm requires credentials. A credential caching proxy server (114) intercepts and caches (214) a client's credentials when a credential is first sent from the wireless user agent to a protected server. The cached credential is then used for all subsequent requests to resources within the same protected realm. Alternatively, the proxy server sends a special request to a client device requesting a credential for a particular resource.
