Method, system and apparatus for propagating data change notifications

摘要

A system, method and apparatus for propagating data change notifications are provided. The system comprises a computing device in communication with an intermediation server via a network, the intermediation server in communication with an originating content server. A data change notification is received at the computing device from the intermediation server, the data change notification comprising an indication that a change has occurred to data at the originating content server. The data change notification is stored in a destination location at the computing device. The destination location is checked for data change notifications; and, when the data change notification is found, an indicator is controlled to indicate that a change has occurred to the data.

1. A method for propagating data change notifications, said method implementable at a computing device in communication with an intermediation server via a network, said method comprising:
receiving, by said computing device, a data change notification from said intermediation server, said data change notification comprising an indication that a change has occurred to data at an originating content server; storing said data change notification in a destination location at said computing device; checking, by said computing device, said destination location for said data change notifications; when said data change notification is found, determining whether change indicators corresponding to previous data change notifications are ignored, said previous data change notifications relating to said data change notification; when the determination is affirmative, preventing an indicator from indicating that a change has occurred to said data; and when the determination is negative, controlling, by said computing device, the indicator to indicate that the change has occurred to said data.
