Separation of conflict resolution from synchronization
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A conflict resolution system comprising the following computer-implemented components:
- an interface component that facilitates receipt of conflict resolution requests from one or more synchronization components; and
a conflict resolution component that resolves conflicts identified in the requests, the conflict resolution component is independent of the one or more synchronization components.

Abstract
The subject disclosure pertains to separation of conflict resolution from a synchronization system or methodology. Upon detection of a synchronization conflict, a request can be generated by a synchronization component and transmitted to a conflict resolution component that is independent and detached from one or more synchronization components. The conflict resolution component resolves the conflict, generates a resolution response, and transmits the responses back to the requesting synchronization component for implementation, among other things.

10. A synchronization methodology comprising the following computer implemented acts:
-
detecting a synchronization conflict between at least a first and second item resident on at least a first and second component;
generating a conflict resolution request; and
communicating the request to a remote entity independent of the at least first and second components. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
