摘要:
A sync community may include a group of synchronization endpoints. When two synchronization endpoints of the sync community synchronize with one another, a synchronization data conflict may be detected when the two synchronization endpoints make a change to a same particular data item and the two synchronization endpoints were unaware of the changes to the same particular data item made by the other respective synchronization endpoint at the time the changes were made. Resolution of the detected synchronization data conflict may be delayed and data indicative of the detected synchronization data conflict may be propagated to other synchronization endpoints during a synchronization operation.

With the addition of directional information in the environment, a variety of service(s) can be provided on top of user identification or interaction with specific object(s) of interest by pointing at the objects. Sometimes either the device user and/or the publishers of content associated with a POI with which a user interacts will wish to delay the interaction with the POI and associated content. For such scenarios, items discovered through direction-based location services can be designated for later interaction, e.g., according to pre-defined criteria that define explicitly or implicitly when the later interaction will occur. Device users are thus provided with relevant content about endpoints of direction based services at relevant times, which may not be the time of initial contact with the POI.

With the addition of directional information in the environment, a variety of service(s) can be provided on top of user identification or interaction with specific object(s) of interest by pointing at the objects. Sometimes either the device user and/or the publishers of content cannot complete a content exchange associated with a point of interest (POI) fast enough for the content to remain relevant. Thus, POIs and content for POIs can be predicted for users based on a variety of factors, such as an analysis of their present path and directional changes, rates of changes, or other factors, such that there is no noticeable, or minimal, latency between information being available with respect to such POIs and a request made via the user's device for such POI information.

With the addition of directional information and gesture based input in a location based services environment, a variety of service(s) can be provided on top of user identification or interaction with specific object(s) of interest. For instance,

Mobile endpoints are provided that enable direction based pointing services including a positional component for receiving positional information as a function of a location of the portable electronic device, a directional component that outputs direction information as a function of an orientation of the portable electronic device and a location based engine that processes the positional information and the direction information to determine a subset of points of interest relative to the portable electronic device as a function of at least the positional information and the direction information. Devices can include compass(es), e.g., magnetic or gyroscopic, to determine a direction and GPS systems for determining location. A component for determining acceleration can also optionally be included.
摘要:
Direction based pointing services are enabled for a portable electronic device including a positional component for receiving positional information as a function of a location of the portable electronic device, a directional component that outputs direction information as a function of an orientation of the portable electronic device and a location based engine that processes the positional information and the direction information to determine points of interest relative to the portable electronic device as a function of at least the positional information and the direction information. A set of scenarios with respect to movable endpoints of interest in the system emerge.

The subject invention relates to systems and/or methods that perform an authoritative and/or a non-authoritative restore of items in a data store. Backups are provided that include data associated with items and metadata related to the items that can include a history of operations and previous synchronizations to enable replications to converge after restoration. The operations that can be performed on the items include, for example, create, delete, update, move, etc. The items in the backups can be restored along with the metadata, which can be utilized to enable synchronization partners to converge based on a desired type of restoration.
摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and method for detecting conflicts and applying conflict resolutions during manual and automatic conflict resolution operations. Several embodiments are directed to preventing both: (a) non-convergence of conflict resolutions, where partners can end up in a divergent steady state (i.e. have different data in the absence of outstanding conflicts); and (b) a non-terminating ping-pong of conflict resolutions between partners (which can occur with certain inefficient solutions that continuously update metadata for each conflict resolution without end). Certain specific embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method for maintaining knowledge that guarantees convergence of data, even when different partners apply different conflict resolutions.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods for synchronizing mixed elements (MEs) comprising structure data and unstructured filestreams between peer computer systems in a hardware/software interface system environment that does not permit snapshotting of large unstructured ME filestreams during synchronization. For several such embodiments, the method comprises synchronizing the ME in two steps, one for snapshotting the structured data component of the ME (as well as the cv of the filestream but not the filestream itself) and one for locking and transmitting the filestream to the receiving sync peer if and only if, after being locked, it is determined that the filestream is unchanged from the time of the ME data component snapshot.
摘要:
An event-handling system assigns multiple devices in an enterprise to a group. At least one event-handling policy is assigned to the group of devices. The event-handling policy assigned to the group is associated with each of the multiple devices in the group. A current state of each device is evaluated before the event-handling policy is applied to the device. A particular device may be assigned to two or more groups. The event-handling policy may define how the device is configured or the types of events that are provided to each device.
