INFORMATION MANAGEMENT METHOD AND DEVICE

摘要

The current invention discloses methods and devices that may be used to maintain continued synchronization during a P2P session when a synchronizing terminal withdraws from synchronizing the operations of one or more participating terminals. A server may temporarily replace the synchronizing terminal and request operating status information from the participating terminals. After calculating data differences between the participating terminals using the operating status information, the server may transmit the data differences to the participating terminals so that each participating terminal is configured to synchronize itself with the other participating terminals. A new synchronizing terminal is selected from the participating terminals so that the new synchronizing terminal is configured to synchronize the operations of the remaining participating terminals. The current invention prevents termination of network applications due to the withdrawal of the synchronizing terminal, maintaining synchronization and improving the quality of the network applications.
