Abstract:
1. A method for rapid synchronization of information between a first terminal and a second terminal using near field communication (NFC), the first terminal including a first NFC circuit, a memory for storing a synchronization module application and a prior configuration document therein, and a controller capable of reading the synchronization module application from the memory and executing the synchronization module application, the second terminal including a second NFC circuit, a storage device for storing the prior configuration document, and a processor, the second terminal having an updated configuration document more recently recorded thereby than the prior configuration document, said method comprising the steps of: a) performing authentication between the first and second terminals; b) when the authentication between the first and second terminals performed in step a) is successful, the processor of the second terminal comparing the prior configuration document from the storage device of the second terminal with the updated configuration document to obtain a difference configuration document which is representative of a difference between the prior configuration document and the updated configuration document; c) the second terminal transmitting the difference configuration document through the second NFC circuit to the first terminal; and d) upon receipt of the difference configuration document by the first terminal through the first NFC circuit, the controller of the first terminal performing setting in correspondence with the difference configuration document.
