System and method for synchronisation of data between service portals and access platforms for services using such a synchronization system
First Claim
1. A system for synchronizing data between service portals each hosting at least one personal information manager (PIM) service, each of said portals being accessible by means of remote access terminals, the system comprising first data synchronization means adapted to establish a correspondence between data stored in the portals, wherein the first synchronization means includes a client-server architecture, the client and the server of said architecture respectively comprising a module hosted in one of said portals and communicating with a server implementing the personal information manager service of said portal, and a synchronization module hosted within at least the other portal and communicating with a server hosting a different personal information manager service, said modules communicating via a computer network.

Abstract
A system for synchronizing data between service portals, each hosting at least one personal information manager (PIM) service and each of the portals being accessible by means of remote access terminals. The system includes first data synchronization means adapted to establish a correspondence between data stored in the portals. The first synchronization means includes a client-server architecture. The client and the server of the architecture respectively comprise a module hosted in one of the portals and communicating with a server implementing the personal information manager service of the portal, and a synchronization module hosted within at least the other portal and communicating with a server hosting a different personal information manager service. The modules communicate via a computer network.

- 8. An access platform for services of a first service portal hosting at least one personal information manager (PIM) service, the first service portal comprising a set of at least one server providing access to said services, accessible to remote access terminals and associated with storage means in which personal information is loaded, and a synchronization system between service portals including the first portal, each of said portals being accessible by means of remote access terminals and hosting at least one personal information manager service, wherein the synchronization system comprises first data synchronization means adapted to establish a correspondence between data stored in the portals, wherein the first synchronization means includes a client-server architecture, the client and the server of said architecture respectively comprising a module hosted in the first portal and communicating with a server of said set, and a synchronization module hosted within at least one other portal and communicating with a server hosting a different personal information manager service said modules communicating via a computer network.

10. A method of synchronizing data between service portals each hosting at least one personal information manager (PIM) service, the method comprising the steps of:
-
generating a synchronization command using a man-machine interface supplied by a synchronization client of a client-server architecture hosted, on the one hand, in one of said portals and, on the other hand, in at least one other portal, said command conveying information relating to data to be synchronized; and
implementing the synchronization of data between the portals using a synchronization server hosted in said other portal(s) and indicated in the synchronization command. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
