Apparatus and Method for Context-Aware Mobile Data Management
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- at an electronic device;
transmitting a context and a plurality of data updates to a server, each of the plurality of data updates having different information from the other updates;
receiving content from the server, the server returning the content based upon the context;
creating a display on a display unit at the electronic device, items and features presented on the display based upon the context;
wherein the exchange of the context, the plurality of data updates, and the content is effective to maintain a first consistency between the server and the electronic device that is different from a second consistency that is maintained between the electronic device and another device.

Abstract
The context of a first electronic device is automatically determined, and the first electronic device has a display unit. Information is displayed at the display unit based upon the context. The context is transmitted from the first electronic device to a second electronic device, and from the first electronic device and to a third electronic device. A first consistency of information is maintained between the first electronic device and a second electronic device based at least upon the context, and a second consistency is maintained between the first electronic device and a third electronic device based at least upon the context. The first consistency is greater than the second consistency.
