Patent ID: 8412805

Claim:
A method of synchronizing service data for a user between a synchronization data store and a first service data storage device associated with the user, the synchronization data store and the first service data storage device each storing service data and the synchronizing of service data being conducted at synchronization intervals, the method comprising: detecting a change in frequency of access of service data stored in the synchronization data store, by a user via a further service data storage device, the further service data storage device being separate from the synchronization data store; and based on the detected change in frequency of access of service data by the user via the further service data storage device, changing a frequency of synchronization of service data between the synchronization data store and the first service data storage device associated with the user, wherein the method comprises increasing the frequency of synchronization of service data between the synchronization data store and the first service data storage device in response to detecting an increase in the frequency of user access of service data via the further service data storage device.
