Feb 2, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/670881

Inventors:

Sidd Goyal - Boston MA, US
Francis Thomas Riddle - Portsmouth NH, US
Frank Judge - Haverhill MA, US

Assignee:

PALM, INC. - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709248

Abstract:

A method of synchronizing data elements between devices can include receiving at a first device, from only one of multiple peer devices with which the first device is configured to synchronize, a request to synchronize data between the first device and the only one peer device; identifying data elements stored in the first device that have changed since a previous synchronization operation between the first device and the only one peer device; and transmitting, directly and solely to the only one peer device, for each of the identified data elements, a local data identifier and a corresponding change to be applied to a data element in the only one peer device that corresponds to the local data identifier. In some implementations, each local data identifier is transmitted in a format in which it is maintained in the first device.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

715752

Abstract:

A system and a method are provided for displaying message history while composing a message. The method includes displaying a message composition application comprising a first recipient field, a message history display area, and a message composition field; detecting an input into the first recipient field for specifying a recipient; and upon detecting that the recipient has been specified: displaying a second recipient field; navigating application focus from the first recipient field to the second recipient field; and displaying a message history associated with the recipient in the message history display area.
