Abstract:
1. A method for non-intrusive background synchronization, comprising: performing a background synchronization of data sets relating to a user; while performing the background synchronization of data sets, determining when an authentication error relating to an authentication credential for the user is received in response to an attempt to synchronize any of the data sets; in response to receiving the authentication error, displaying a non-modal notification element indicating that information is required for the background synchronization to synchronize the data relating to the any of the data sets receiving the authentication error; stopping the background synchronization of the data relating to the any of the data sets receiving the authentication error while continuing the background synchronization process for synchronizing the other data sets not receiving the authentication error; and in response to receiving a selection of the non-modal notification element and receiving the information to address the authentication error, resuming the background synchronization of the data relating to the any of the data sets receiving the authentication error.
