Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and system for allowing use of a Portal by Mobile Devices in a disconnected mode. The inventive system and method provide means to automatically create a Mobile Device specific content topology at the server side based on an existing user-defined connected content topology, user selectable options as well as dynamically changeable technical parameters, e.g. bandwidth, time, location, type of the target Mobile Device, downloads this Mobile Device specific content topology including its associated data to a target Mobile Device, and uses that Mobile Device specific content topology with its data by a local disconnected Portal frame work of a target Mobile Device in a disconnected mode. The Mobile Device specific content topology will be updated by a synchronization mechanism during connected mode.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of Network portals and in particular to a method and system for restricting access rights on user profile information using a new notion of peer groups, wherein a given user's peer group is defined to be the set of users containing all the members of all the user's communities, wherein the individual communities are defined within the web portal wherein on said web portal a plurality of composite applications are implemented, wherein each composite application (19; 50) has a predetermined number of users working with said composite application building a community for that composite application, characterized by the steps of: a) building a filter based on the peer group of the requesting user by collecting the communities of all composite applications which said user is member of (650, 660, 670) b) using said filter as an additional constraint when selecting (680) user information from the user registry in order to limit all query results to user profile information associated to members of the given user's peer group and, c) displaying the result to the user (690).
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a new synchronization architecture for synchronization of data between different clients by using a central synchronization server linked to a Back End data store which additionally provides a cache for permanently buffering incoming updates into a permanent store by assigning an unique cache identifier (ID). Write conflicts between the synchronization server writing new entries to the cache and updates replicated from backend to cache are solved using a blocking mechanism based on the cache IDs, so that the backend updates are blocked as long as incoming updates from the clients having the same cache ID are not completely written into the cache during a synchronization session. The present invention is preferably suited for a synchronization architecture having a high number of clients connected with the central synchronization server as blocking of the Back End data store, and the connection and the transport to the Back End data store are minimized.
Abstract:
A system for exchange of data between a plurality of clients and at least one back end data store by using a central synchronization server having a connection to the clients. The clients generate data to be synchronized. The system includes a sync engine connected to the central synchronization server for performing synchronization with the central synchronization server, a single back end neutral interface associated with and connected to the sync engine, and a component assigned to each of the at least one back end data store. Each of the components include a back end dependent part having an interface with the single back end neutral interface and an interface with the assigned back end data store.
