Abstract

In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for performing a synchronization of data. These mechanisms and methods for performing a synchronization of data can enable a more efficient synchronization, time and resource savings, an enhanced user experience, etc.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computer system, cause operations comprising:

receiving an indication that a user has successfully logged into an application installed on a mobile device; and

performing a synchronization of data of a service with data used by the application installed on the mobile device;

wherein the synchronization is performed, at least in part, in response to an event other than the user logging into the application.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein performing the synchronization includes performing the synchronization in response to an indication that the application is running on the mobile device.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein performing the synchronization includes performing the synchronization at a predetermined interval.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein performing the synchronization includes receiving, from the application, a request to perform the synchronization.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein performing the synchronization includes determining whether the user has previously logged into the application.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein performing the synchronization includes, in response to determining that the user has previously logged into the application, requesting one or more uncommitted modifications of data used by the application installed on the mobile device.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein performing the synchronization includes determining whether dataset changes have occurred with respect to the user.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein performing the synchronization includes, in response to determining that no dataset changes have occurred with respect to the user, performing an incremental synchronization with the application.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein performing the synchronization includes, in response to determining that no dataset changes have occurred with respect to the user, performing a full synchronization with the mobile device.

20. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a system, an indication that a user has successfully logged into an application installed on a mobile device; and

performing, by the system, a synchronization of data of a service with data used by the application installed on the mobile device;

wherein the synchronization is performed, at least in part, in response to an event other than the user logging into the application.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the event is a key event.

22. The method of claim 20, wherein the synchronization is a runtime synchronization performed while the application is running on the mobile device.

23. The method of claim 22, wherein the runtime synchronization is performed at a predetermined interval.

24. The method of claim 20, wherein the synchronization is performed in response to receiving, from the application, a request to perform the synchronization.

25. The method of claim 20, herein the synchronization is performed in response to an indication that the application is running on the mobile device.

26. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that includes one or more stored sequences of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to carry out operations comprising;

receiving an indication that a user has successfully logged into an application installed on a mobile device; and

performing a synchronization of data of a service with data used by the application installed on the mobile device;

wherein the synchronization is performed, at least in part, in response to an event other than the user logging into the application.

27. The apparatus of claim 26, wherein performing the synchronization includes performing the synchronization in response to an indication that the application is running on the mobile device.

28. The apparatus of claim 26, wherein performing the synchronization includes determining whether the user has previously logged into the application.

29. The apparatus of claim 26, wherein performing the synchronization includes, in response to determining that the user has previously logged into the application, requesting one or more uncommitted modifications of data used by the application installed on the mobile device.

30. The apparatus of claim 26, wherein performing the synchronization includes, in response to determining that no dataset changes have occurred with respect to the user, performing an incremental synchronization with the application.
