Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005111808A2] For low fidelity devices without time-date fields, the present invention provides for formatting, identifying and storing time-date information (350) corresponding to remote property values in a standard format (305) on the remote device. The time-date information is parsable by several devices and used in resolving conflicts between property values. Other example embodiments provide for determined if a value for a property on a remote device has changed since a last sync between the remote device and a local machine by comparing a remote representation (320) of a property value to a local representation associated with the same property value. Still other example embodiments provide for preserving memory resources by selecting property values to be assigned time-date information used in resolving conflicts between sync values. The property values may be selected based on, e.g., the available resources of a remote device or based on historical information.
