Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Mechanisms and methods are provided for optimizing data synchronization between clients and database systems. These mechanisms and methods provide optimizations for synchronization requests, by either breaking a synchronization request into multiple smaller requests, or by executing different code routines for differing client types, or by pre-caching data that a user is anticipated to want at a future point. Such optimization techniques can enable clients with varying capacities (e.g., mobile client vs. full desktop client) to optimally utilize their respective device capabilities.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of synchronizing user data based on client type, the method comprising: receiving a client request to synchronize the client with updates from a database; determining a client type based on the request; selecting, based on the determined client type, a routine from a plurality of routines to retrieve data associated with the update from the database; invoking the selected routine to retrieve the data from the database; receiving data f…
