Abstract
Mechanisms of synchronization between different types of application, using communication between client and server devices, are described. As an example, synchronization between a script running in a browser and a native application may be implemented using a lock service on a server. Mechanisms for synchronization also allow for applications on different client devices to be automatically synchronized. Identifiers may be automatically used by a synchronization mechanism implemented by a service. Identifiers may include user, machine, application or other identifiers. Messages and protocols between the client devices and server services to create, use, and destroy a lock are described.
