A system for synchronizing data of wireless devices includes an application server (), a communication tower (), and a plurality of mobile terminals (). Each mobile terminal includes a data type distinguishing module (), a data filter generating module (), and a data transferring module (). The server includes a domain managing module () for executing a data filter received from any mobile terminal, and for generating a sync response. A related method includes the steps of: (a) identifying a type of data to be synchronal; (b) generating a sync request in accordance with the type of data to be synchronal, and sending the sync request to the server; (c) generating a sync response based on data stored in the server, and sending the sync response to the mobile terminal; and (d) updating data stored in the mobile terminal in accordance with the sync response.

System and method for synchronizing data of wireless devices

A method is provided to synchronize a local data storage on a wireless computing device with a remote data storage located on a server based upon user defined business logic stored on the server and corresponding to a particular data object. The method employs a synchronization message that includes a data object to be updated, a corresponding action that has been performed on the data object and an old data object corresponding to the data object prior to when the action was performed. The user can define, by means of the business logic, validation, processing and conflict resolution functionality specific to a particular type of data object. The method includes provisions for both on-line and off-line synchronization.

Hybrid replication scheme with data and actions for wireless devices

A method and system for an automated distinguished name lookup is provided for use in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory operation. A user provides input via a dialog window for an identifier string which is not a distinguished name. An LDAP search filter string is generated that contains at least a portion of the identifier string. A directory search is requested using the LDAP search filter string. In response to the requested directory search, one or more distinguished names are received. In response to receiving a single distinguished name for the requested directory search, the received distinguished name is automatically applied in the LDAP directory operation. In response to receiving a plurality of distinguished names for the requested directory search, the plurality of distinguished names are presented to the user, and the user may select one of the plurality of distinguished names. The selected distinguished name is then applied in the LDAP directory operation, which may perform an authentication process for the user using a distinguished name received in response to the requested directory search. The user may also configure a dialog window for entry attributes and filters to be used while searching for potential distinguished names.
