1. A method of remotely synchronizing a mobile terminal to a target computer, the mobile terminal comprising a local memory and a screen, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a set of synchronization rules comprising ordering and filtering rules;
(b) monitoring a user'"'"'s operation of the mobile terminal;
(c) executing a computer program for adapting the ordering and filtering rules in response to the user'"'"'s operation of the mobile terminal to generate a modified set of synchronization rules; and
(d) exchanging synchronization data between the target computer and the mobile terminal using the modified set of synchronization rules, and storing synchronized data in the local memory of the mobile terminal, whereinthe synchronization data comprises a first data and a second data;
the step of monitoring a user'"'"'s operation of the mobile terminal comprises the step of monitoring the user'"'"'s preference in viewing data; and
if the step of monitoring the user'"'"'s operation indicates a preference for viewing the first data before viewing the second data, the computer program adapts the ordering and filtering rules such that the first data are received by the mobile terminal before the second data.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for remotely synchronizing a mobile terminal to a target computer is disclosed. A user'"'"'s operation of the mobile terminal is monitored and a computer program is executed for adapting ordering and filtering synchronization rules in response to the user'"'"'s operation of the mobile terminal to generate a modified set of synchronization rules. Synchronization data is exchanged between the target computer and the mobile terminal using the modified set of synchronization rules.
