Abstract

Aspects of the invention provide for information to be synchronized in an asynchronous manner among two or more computing devices.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a first computing device, a first triggering event;

responding to the first triggering event, by the first computing device, by determining whether a modification has been made to first device data of the first computing device; and

transferring, to a routing system, a modification indicator indicating the modification, if the modification is determined to have been made,

wherein the modification is capable of being received by a second computing device and synchronized with second device data of the second computing device in response to an asynchronously triggering second device trigger.
