First Claim
1. A method of synchronising three or more electronic devices, said method comprising:
- a) selecting at least one category of record for synchronisation;
b) storing an original value and a changed value of each changed record from a selected record category;
c) establishing an electronic connection between at least two devices;
d) comparing the records of the selected record categories;
e) determining any changed record;
f) identifying the updated device with the changed record having an original value the same as the value of the record in the other previous device; and
g) changing the value of the record in the previous device to the changed value.
