First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining that a time between a last synchronization of a synchronization data at a computing device and a present time has exceeded a threshold value, the synchronization data for synchronizing a second computing device with the computing device and, in response;
deleting the synchronization data; and
thereafter,detecting that the second computing device is in communication with the computing device; and
, in response;
determining that the second computing device is a new computing device to be synchronized with the computing device;
receiving and storing new data from the second computing device;
storing new synchronization data for synchronizing the second computing device with the computing device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing synchronization configuration files at a computing device is provided. It is determined that at least one configuration file has expired, the at least one configuration file associated with a second computing device and comprising data for synchronizing the second computing device with the computing device. A location of the at least one configuration file is then determined. The at least one configuration file is then deleted at the location.

10. A computing device comprising:
-
a processor, a memory storing synchronization data for synchronizing a second computing device with the computing device and a communication interface, the processor enabled to; determine that a time between a last synchronization of the synchronization data and a present time has exceeded a threshold value, and, in response; delete the synchronization data at the memory; and
thereafter,detect that the second computing device is in communication with the computing device via the communication interface; and
, in response;determine that the second computing device is a new computing device to be synchronized with the computing device; receive and store new data from the second computing device; storing new synchronization data for synchronizing the second computing device with the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
