System and method for global data synchronization

摘要

A system and method is disclosed for synchronizing data between two or more devices connected to each other by a network. The devices execute instances of substantially identical applications storing data. A synchronization module executes on each of the devices. The synchronization module may monitor access to the databases and maintain a synchronization database of the changes to the databases. The synchronization databases of the devices are then synchronized. Conflicting changes to the database are resolved according to default protocols and user configured protocols. Conflict resolution protocols may be transmitted between devices prior to resolving conflicts.
