Patent ID: 7917468

Claim:
A system for sharing Personal Information Management (PIM) data comprising: a first computing device configured to provide PIM data; a second computing device configured to receive PIM data; an intermediate computing device coupling the first computing device to the second computing device, the intermediate computing device configured to: host a user profile associated with a user of the first computing device and a user profile associated with a user of the second computing device, identify a common relationship between the user profiles, wherein identification of the relationship includes identification of information common to both the user profiles, and overwrite out-of-date PIM data at one of the two computing devices, whereby the overwritten PIM data will correspond to up-to-date PIM data at the other of the two computing devices when the intermediate computing device identifies the information common to both the user profiles, wherein overwriting out-of-date PIM data includes changing one or more values of the out-of-date PIM data at the one of the two computing devices when the one or more values differ between the user profiles and populating one or more values when the one or more values is unpopulated for the out-of-date PIM data at the one of the two computing devices.
