Abstract

See full text

A wireless hot-sync system includes a personal digital assistant (PDA) having a transceiver for communicating over a wireless link, a hot-sync server having a transceiver for communicating with the PDA over the wireless link and a network interface for communicating with devices on a local area network (LAN), and a host system connected to the LAN. Upon receipt a hot-sync request from the PDA via the wireless link, the hot-sync server opens a network connection with the host system to establish a wireless hot-sync channel. The PDA and the host system exchange packets containing synchronization data, which is used by each device to update a local data set to bring it into correspondence with the data set of the other device. Upon completion of the wireless hot-sync, the hot-sync server closes the network connection and disables the hot-sync channel.
