Abstract

A synchronization system for a widget and a corresponding application includes a display and a processor. The processor includes a background management module, an application window module, a widget, and a widget management module. The application layer is adapted to store application data, and tell the background management module to download updated data corresponding to the application via a network, after determining a storage time of the application data is greater than a reference time. The application window module is adapted to obtain the application data or the updated data from the application layer and display the application data or the updated data. The widget is displayed. The widget management module is adapted to obtain the widget data of the application data or the updated data from the application layer and send the widget data to the widget.

Claims

1. A synchronization system for a widget and a corresponding application, comprising:

a display; and

a processor, the processor comprising;

a background management module;

an application layer, the application layer adapted to store an application data of an application and inform the background management module to download an updated data corresponding to the application via network after determining a storage time of the application data is greater than a reference time;

an application window module, the application window module adapted to obtain the updated data from the application layer and display the updated data on the display;

a widget, the widget adapted to display a widget data of the application data or the updated data on the display; and

a widget management module, adapted to obtain the widget data of the updated data from the application layer and send the widget data to the widget.

2. The synchronization system of claim 1, wherein the application layer is adapted to determine if the storage time of the application data is greater than the reference time after receiving a request for obtaining the widget data from the widget management module or obtaining the application data from the application window module and obtaining the application data from the application window module.

3. The synchronization system of claim 1, wherein the application layer comprises a storing module and an updating module;

the storing module is adapted to store the updated data;

the updating module is adapted to send the updated data to the application window module and the widget after determining the storage time of the application data is less than the reference time.

4. The synchronization system of claim 1, wherein the widget management module is adapted to send the widget data to the widget via broadcast.

5. A data synchronization method, comprising:

providing an application layer, the application layer provides an application data of an application to an application window module and a widget;

downloading an updated data corresponding to the application via a background management module after determining a storage time of the application data is greater than a reference time, and

sending the updated data to the application layer.

6. The data synchronization method of claim 5, further comprising receiving a request for obtaining a widget data from a widget management module and obtaining the application data from the application window module before determining if the storage time of the application data is less than the reference time.

7. The data synchronization method of claim 5, wherein the application layer comprises a storing module and an updating module;

the storing module stores the updated data;

the updating module sends the updated data to the application window module and the widget after determining the storage time of the application data is less than the reference time.

8. The data synchronization method of claim 5, wherein the widget obtains a widget data of the application data via broadcast sent by a widget management module.

9. A data synchronization method, comprising:

providing a background management module, an application layer, an application window module, a widget, and a widget management module;

downloading an updated data corresponding to an application via the background management module after determining a storage time of an application data of the application is greater than a reference time, and

sending the updated data via the background management module to the application layer; and

obtaining the updated data via the application window module and obtaining a widget data of the updated data and sending the widget data to the widget via the widget management module.
