System for synchronizing information

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium operating in a mobile device server having computer instructions to execute a web server application at the mobile device server. The web server application can be operable to detect a media resource center while roaming in a communication zone of the media resource center, and to transmit a pairing key to the media resource center. The web server application can be further operable to receive authorization from the media resource center to synchronize differences between content stored in the media resource center and content stored in the mobile device server responsive to the media resource center validating the pairing key. Other embodiments are disclosed.

1. A mobile device, comprising:
a memory that stores instructions; and a controller coupled to the memory, wherein the controller, responsive to executing the instructions, performs operations comprising:
detecting a resource control manager when roaming into a communication zone of the resource control manager;transmitting a pairing key to the resource control manager to enable communications with the resource control manager;establishing communications with the resource control manager responsive to a validation of the pairing key;detecting differences between content stored in the resource control manager and content stored in the mobile device as content differences;synchronizing differences between content stored in the resource control manager and content stored in the mobile device; andinitiating a software application to be executed at the mobile device, wherein the initiating causes a remote server to identify the resource control manager according to header information from a gateway that transmits a message, wherein the message comprises the header information, wherein the header information comprises an internet address assigned to the gateway, and wherein the resource control manager enables communications with the mobile device responsive to authenticating the mobile device according to the pairing key.
