Abstract

See full text

In a main embodiment, select and summary (S&S) indices (213, 228) are used to provide user flexibility in reviewing and requesting otherwise filtered data. Both the user's remote unit (201) and communication server (220) maintain S&S indices containing identifying (summary) information about data which has not been fully transferred between the communication server and remote unit. As new data is filtered for transfer (704-706), identifying information is captured (710) for any non-qualifying data by either a host unit or the communication server. This information is stored (714) in the communication server's S&S index, and transferred (718) via update messaging to the remote unit. When reviewing its updates or S&S index, the user may request (722) such of the data that it desires partial or full transfers of for further review. Thus, a cost efficient review mechanism is provided to users for determining whether to transfer data that otherwise fails selected filter parameters.
