Message transfer from a source device via a mobile terminal device to a third device and data synchronization between terminal devices
First Claim
1. A method of synchronizing data between first and second terminal devices, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining data to be synchronized in a first terminal device;
formatting the data to be synchronized into a synchronization format;
inserting the formatted data to be synchronized into at least one messaging transport protocol message in the first terminal device including identifiers associated with the synchronization format; and
transmitting the at least one messaging transport protocol message including identifiers associated with the synchronization format from the first terminal device to a second terminal device via a mobile network.

Abstract
A technique for transferring a data message between a first terminal device and a second terminal device via an intermediate terminal device includes: entering a data message into the first terminal device; transmitting the data message from the first terminal device to the intermediate terminal device; formatting the data message into at least one SMS (Short Message Service) message in the intermediate terminal device; and transmitting the at least one SMS message from the intermediate terminal device to the second terminal device. Formatting the data message may include formatting the data in a SyncML format. The intermediate terminal device may include a mobile terminal and the data message may be transferred from the first terminal device to the intermediate terminal device via a short range communication link which may include an IR or Bluetooth communication link.
