Method, system and apparatus for propagating data change notifications
First Claim
1. A method for propagating data change notifications, said method implementable at a computing device in communication with an intermediation server via a network, said method comprising:
- receiving, by said computing device, a data change notification from said intermediation server, said data change notification comprising an indication that a change has occurred to data at an originating content server;
storing said data change notification in a destination location at said computing device;
checking, by said computing device, said destination location for said data change notifications;
when said data change notification is found, determining whether change indicators corresponding to previous data change notifications are ignored, said previous data change notifications relating to said data change notification;
when the determination is affirmative, preventing an indicator from indicating that a change has occurred to said data; and
when the determination is negative, controlling, by said computing device, the indicator to indicate that the change has occurred to said data.

Abstract
A system, method and apparatus for propagating data change notifications are provided. The system comprises a computing device in communication with an intermediation server via a network, the intermediation server in communication with an originating content server. A data change notification is received at the computing device from the intermediation server, the data change notification comprising an indication that a change has occurred to data at the originating content server. The data change notification is stored in a destination location at the computing device. The destination location is checked for data change notifications; and, when the data change notification is found, an indicator is controlled to indicate that a change has occurred to the data.

1. A method for propagating data change notifications, said method implementable at a computing device in communication with an intermediation server via a network, said method comprising:
-
receiving, by said computing device, a data change notification from said intermediation server, said data change notification comprising an indication that a change has occurred to data at an originating content server; storing said data change notification in a destination location at said computing device; checking, by said computing device, said destination location for said data change notifications; when said data change notification is found, determining whether change indicators corresponding to previous data change notifications are ignored, said previous data change notifications relating to said data change notification; when the determination is affirmative, preventing an indicator from indicating that a change has occurred to said data; and when the determination is negative, controlling, by said computing device, the indicator to indicate that the change has occurred to said data. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

23. A method for propagating data change notifications to a computing device from an intermediation server, said method implementable at said intermediation server, said method comprising:
-
determining that data at an originating content server has changed; and transmitting a data change notification to said computing device, said data change notification comprising an indication that a change has occurred to said data, said data changed notification for storage at a destination location at said computing device, such that when said data change notification is found by an application at said computing device, said computing device is triggered to control an indicator to indicate that a change has occurred to said data, wherein the transmitting of said data change notification to said computing device is prevented upon determination that change indicators corresponding to previous data change notifications are ignored at said computing device, said previous data change notifications relating to said data change notification. - View Dependent Claims (24)
