System Method and Model for Social Synchronization Interoperability Among Intermittently Connected Interoperating Devices

摘要

System, device, method, and computer program and computer program products for providing communicating between devices having similar or dissimilar characteristics and facilitating seamless interoperability between them. Computer program software and methods of and systems and devices for sharing of content, applications, resources and control across similar and dissimilar permanently or intermittently connected electronic devices. Devices, systems, appliances, and the like communicating and/or interoperating within the framework provided. A social synchronization interoperability method, such as a Dart Social Synchronization method provides an efficient and easy to administrate method for synchronizing specific sets of data and/or operations across any number of devices and protocols without the need for every device to contact a master device, or for any device to act as a master. Social synchronization of devices and content provides an advantageous alternative to mastered synchronization techniques.

1. A method for maintaining synchronization of resources across one or more dynamically created teams of homogeneous and/or heterogeneous devices which can be intermittently directly connected and/or can be indirectly connected through a sequence of direct connections which themselves can be independently intermittently made between other teamed devices, the method comprising:
(1) running on an interoperability device an initiating interoperability application program package of one or more independently executable images which logically or physically encapsulates the resource or resources to be synchronized and/or includes all the capabilities needed to collect and manage the resources to be synchronized; and (2) teaming of other devices by the initiating interoperability application program wherein a possibly intermittent connection is made to other devices and the initiating application spreads interoperability information to the newly teamed devices.
