Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A determination is made at a first computing device of whether there is a synchronization conflict between a change to a first synchronized item at the first computing device and a change to a second synchronized item at a second computing device. If a synchronization conflict exists, rule-based conflict resolution is performed to automatically resolve the synchronization conflict. The rule-based conflict resolution is based at least in part on a type of the change made to the first synchronized item, a type of the change made to the second synchronized item, and a set of multiple rules. A notification of the resolution is then sent to the second computing device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A device capable of resolving synchronization conflict, the device comprising: one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon multiple instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processors to: determine a synchronization conflict exists between a first item of a synchronized document at a first user computing device and a second item of a synchronized document at a second user c…
